Pretty nifty bit of DIY

For Brian, it's a 9 branch candlestick, made from the innards of a gearbox. I've never tried welding, but there seems to be a bit of skill involved here. Another one he https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a...3657_s_4_2.jpg |

Hard to get a sense of scale though are those welding blobs of a 'can be neatened' size or would they be too wee/finiky to tidy up ? |

Or soft soldered for the non-ferrous bits at least. Wife is not keen on having one. |

Unless it's a really, really worn gearbox, those gears will be a bit sharp on the bannisters. Apart from hurting yourself, you'll be snagging your clothes. then a (worth doing) use awaits. NT |
