The New Dining Room Table.
All the components were given a coating of a patina inducing solution.

Rubber washers are placed between the glass top and legs. This creates a type of shock absorber between the copper and glass. The very top of each leg has a "reducer" fitting.

This “crossover” fitting added a cool detail to the legs.

Torch, solder, flux and a pipe cutter…that’s all the equipment you'll need...and safety glasses. In this case you are playing with fire and bubbling molten solder.
