be varied according to the nature of the design — whether 
coarse in space or fine. 
A could be done advantageously with a rather large 
end because the motive (the tulip) is open and large in 
design. 
B and C will look best with a small point. 
We have now to consider the shapes and construction 
of bracket and candle socket. 
These parts in sconce B are a simple bracket form 
bent to a right angle, the lower part shaped to fit the space

allowed on the sconce back, the Upper beaten upon a hol- 
low block to form a saucer like shape sufficiently large and 
deep to catch the candle drippings (not less than 2" dia- 
meter) . This also is the form of bracket used in sconce D. 
The socket is like those constructed for the candlestick 
except that it need have only two legs instead of four. (See 
Fig. 6.) In B this is rivetted like the description in the 
previous article on candlesticks, but in D it is simply 
tacked to the wood with the brass escutcheon pins. 
The horizontal or tray parts of sconces A, C, and K 
are square cornered and consequently formed in a differ- 
ent manner. 
As an example take the form given in A. Cut the 
lower part to fit the space allowed on the sconce back

(See Fig. 7) then extended from this is \" of metal for 
the bend and this spreads to a tray form having a base 
of at least 2 /A x 4" and a \" border. 
Fig. 8 shows the complete pattern before bending and 
after. 
This pan shape is formed by [beating [the border down 
over a square block as in Fig. 9 and then finishing corners 
as in Fig. 10. 
Sconces D and B have wooden backs, preferably well 
seasoned oak. These of course require saw, plane, etc., 
not given in our list of tools. Or you can get these cut to 
size by any carpenter. 
The edges have a \" bevel. 
The candle sockets in these sconces are made of 1" 
strips of metal coiled up around stick or directly around 
a candle. 
Cut the strip i"x 8", punch the two holes in the.' centre 
line vertically, coil up and bend with the pliers to resemble 
Fig. E, and fasten by small round head brass screws so 
that this piece may be taken off and cleaned. 
Fig. 1 1 shows the strip and manner of forming. The 
reflector in sconce D is a disk of metal beaten to a shallow
