Bracket for candle: Take the 1⁄4-in. round stock. Put it in the vise with one end projecting above, about 1⁄2 in. Drive down on this end, at the same time bend it as shown in the drawing. File the end flat. Cut a piece of No. 20 copper 1⁄2 in. × 3⁄8 in. and solder it on the end just filed. This plate is drilled with two 1⁄8-in. holes, and filed around. Bend the shape as shown in the drawing and on the other end file a shoulder and 1⁄8-in. pin. This is now placed through the hole of the disc and the candle holder, and both riveted to the bracket. The bracket now is placed on the bottom of the sconce (see [drawing]), and riveted on. The whole sconce may now be nailed with round head nails to a flat 1⁄4-in. board to give weight, or there may be riveted to the back, angles made of No. 20 metal, 5⁄8 in. wide and bent 3⁄8 in. one way and 1⁄4 in. the other way. These angle pieces are riveted on the sides and on the two ends.
Rivets add much to the decoration of the work if they are placed at intervals and properly spaced. They make a nice finish. A hole can be drilled at the top of the reflector, to hang it upon the wall.
