    It's basically cutting, bending, soldering. The photos are self explanatory.

    I hadn't thought of that. I can sort of understand it is put together. What sort of tools do you need to perform this work? Where would you recommend that I obtain the sort of brass needed to construct a cantle? What thickness would you recommend for brass sheets?
    I have some saws and a dremel with a wide variety of bits and have experience with doing wood carving. I believe some of the bits are actually intended for sanding down metal.

    Thank you for the inspiration!
