I was thinking about notching say, 1/2" square tube.
Kinda doubt the presser foot would stand up to that.

Dunno. Make the bridge out of 1" hollow square, the foot out of 1-1/2"x1/4",
attach with a 3/8" bolt?

Those are right pretty.

Thank you.

Repousse?

Only the rosettes at the center are repouse. The main petals a 3/16"
plate, made from the discs cut from the surrounding plate. Textured
with a 1/4"-diameter fuller die on a 25# power hammer, then shaped up
with a hand hammer. The fullering spreads them so together they're
bigger than the hole they were cut out of.
