"I was almost in tears when I saw what had happened to my vase," wrote our client, whose cat had knocked it down. I made a hammer to repair the significant dent. Luckily the finishing was not affected by the repair and the vase is ready to go back and one cat back in good graces. Treasured possessions matter. #vancouverrestoration #heritage #repairs # metalrepairs #familyheirlooms #restoration #fabrication #heritage #donaldsinnovationsandrepairs

A vase knocked over by my client's cat will get a very carefully well placed knock or three by me! Copper gets work hardened when formed in the beginning and when sudden hard blows are applied such as a fall from a mantle piece. . . . .... . #treasures #coppervase #restore #vancouverblacksmith #metalart See more

I am restoring this beautiful 100 year old 1920's gas fire place. I am cleaning modifying and creating a new antique paint finish. It will be converted to a candle fireplace. The candles in glass jars will sit on the front ledge with a safety bar to prevent accidentally knocking off by the cat if he/she should get too close. . . . .... . #fireplace #antiques #castiron #recycling #innovativeuse See more
