Rule the sheet metal 7cm x 7 cm
Cut the sheet metal with the guillotine on the line
Measure from corner to corner to find the centre
Put the centre punch where the two lines meet ang use a pallpein hammer to hit the centre punch to make a centre point
Use the divider to make a perfect circle on the sheet metal
Cut sheet metal with tin snips following the circle line
Put the dish in a vice then file down the edges of the circle dish so that there smooth
Out the circle dish onto a wooden mould and use the tinmans hammer to shape the dish
Once your dish is shaped take it to the drill press and clamp it with metal clamps then drill a hole in the middle
Now your metal dish should be shaped and have a hole in it
Get your 200ml flat bar and put it in the vice then file down the ends
Now put the flat bar in the scroll plate that's attached to a vice and bend the flat bar to the shape of the scroll
Now your scroll should be at least this big
If you want a bigger scroll keep bending it around the scroll plate
Rule 8cm off the end of the scroll then cut it with a hacksaw while it's in a vice, then rule from corner to corner with a metal ruler and scribe to find the middle
Drill a hole in the metal flat bar with the scroll and the smaller bit fi flat bar so that you can connect them later
Rule a 1.5 cm line off the ends of the short piece of flat bar
Put the small piece of flat bar in a vice and use a ball pein hammer to bang the ends on an angle to make feet
Line up the holes between the metal dish and the two pieces of flat bar, then put a pop rivet in the holes
Use the pop rivet gun too make the pop rivet hold the mini candle holder together
Now you mini candle holder should look like this.
