I have this Tiffany box that is missing three of its four feet/pads.

Roughing the round stock to a tad oversize into a square shape.

Using my filing jig to get exact size and a file finish that matches the original one.

Now to finish up the ends with an angle. Not sure how to proceed? May take a while to figure out, stay tuned.

Why am I getting two pics. What am I doing wrong?
I don't think you're doing anything wrong, Maybe / perhaps the program is putting in thumbnails and the picture,
Made a little filing block to put the angles on the ends of the feet/pads. Only takes 5-10 strokes of a file. And length, angle and flatness are easily maintained. Now to attach them to the box.

I never ever said I could even turn on a computer LOL.
Almost done, the only thing left to do is the patina. Do I let time do it or use a chemical? At the speed that I move now a days, maybe time will do just fine, LOL.
I do remember a brass knob that I made about 10 years ago. Don't know what kinda brass it was? But it's still as shiny as the day I made it. If that's the case with these feet, I can't wait that long!

So set the feet in a shallow pan with white vinegar and salt mix
or
shine the rest of the brass ?
Decisions, decisions.. :smiley_dead:
Nice job BTW.
