A Cold Connection Method
Skill LevelIntermediate
TechniqueCold Connections & Metal-Working
Time1-3 Hours

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
