The second of my blacksmithing bits and pieces posts is a kitchen towel holder.
This is typical of the types of pieces I enjoy making, perhaps my emerging style. Solid metalwork, made to last (I hate the cheap and cheerful look of spindly metal made with the thinnest material you can get away with), combined with organic themes, through the twists and curves.
It is then finished off with traditional exposed rivet steel joining techniques.
In case it isn’t obvious, this is what it looks like with the towel roll in place.
For a rustic/country kitchen, this is absolutely the best kitchen paper towel holder I have ever seen or used.
Mind you, I’m a bit biased as it was made to my exacting specifications 😉
Andy also made a simpler version for the Studio, which is placed to make best use of the steel supports of the sloping roof.
I’m sure that this is the sort of useful object that you could make on an experience day with Andy.
