Class Description In this class you will be forging, twisting, and riveting together a candle chandelier. You’ll be working with round, flat, and short sections of pipe. Students should have completed the basics classes. Side note: Don learned how to make this in a class given by Dave Marriette – far enough in the past that we couldn’t come up with what year it was.
