Display stand prototype
I used a power drill to drill some holes in the top of a block of wood so that the copper tubing could be inserted to hold it in place. I tried inserting brooches into the copper tubes and adjusting the length and spacing of these to try and achieve visual harmony.
Drilling holes with a power drill tends to be crooked though, and I may need to try other drilling equipment. Also, the brooches in the copper tubing turn easily, and I need to figure out how to control their orientation.
