Forging a heavy candelabra - Blacksmithing

This heavy candelabra is one I’ve been thinking about for several month and thought it might make a good demo for the upcoming NWBA conference. The reality is that this would be overly ambitious for the time allowed. But this will be the inspiration for a design that should better suit the time, tools and conditions at that event.
