Attaching a Metal Plate to Candlesticks
Overview
Learn how to securely attach a metal plate to candlesticks using simple tools and techniques.
Steps to Attach the Metal Plate
1. Prepare the Base:
- Fix the base by aligning the candlestick with an octagonal cross. Secure it temporarily using a clamp.
2. Craft the Plate:
- While the base dries, you can start preparing the metal plate. Use aluminum, measuring approximately 3 inches, and attach it to a piece of 1-inch thick hard maple. Cut the maple into a circle with a 3-inch diameter.
3. Drill and Fit:
- With the plate still fixed on the headstock, drill a 3/16-inch hole in the center. Cut a 3/16-inch steel rod to a length slightly over an inch, and sharpen one end to a point.
4. Assemble the Plate:
- Insert the pointed rod into the drilled hole, ensuring 1/8 to 5/32 inches protrude. The metal plate should have two sets of supporting holes. Use the outer holes to attach the plate to the wood face, and drill through the inner ones.
5. Secure the Screws:
- Insert 1-inch pan head screws into the drilled holes, allowing about 3/32 inches to extend beyond the wooden surface. If necessary, adjust the screw length with washers until only a minimal point is exposed.
6. Final Assembly:
- The protruding needle stem should be longer than the screws, serving as the centering point. Gently tap the metal plate into place using a mallet and a piece of wood to avoid direct impact on the metal.
Tips
- Always prioritize safety by wearing appropriate gear and handling tools with care.
- Ensure tools like glue guns, saws, and lathes are in good condition to prevent accidents.
Following these steps, you can efficiently attach a metal plate to candlesticks, enhancing both their functionality and appearance.
