"Kettles On". My third piece

The idea for this came from all those old western movies, where all the cowboys are sat round the fire waiting for the kettle to boil for a brew.
The kettle is made of brass, (not made by me). The base is a piece of plate solderd to a spring bent piece of 15mm. The fire wood from 22mm. And last but not least the flame from oddments of plate.

Piece number 2

This one was made from 4 lengths of pipe bent into a long W, then inter laced and solderd top bottom and middle. The base was made from a piece of copper plate cut into a circle, then the raised line segments punched in with a chisel and the segments beaten in to form an inward depression between the lines.

My first piece

This is my first creation using copper wire twisted with a drill and a piece of pipe for the base. The oak leaf on top is cut out from copper plate by my own fair hand.
