WW1 Trench Art

[browningautorifle]

I've gone so far as dismantling several lights to recover the shells from them

I've had a couple pieces like that, recovered from lamps. Those are done since I think. These were done in workhouses to help fund the war and give recovering vets something to do while they mended wounds.

Presumably the workpiece was annealed a number of times while in the process of being shaped.

They had full equipment so an oven wouldn't be hard to fashion.
