The most difficult part of this is serialization. All parts must be cut, drilled, and bent at exactly the right, uniform angle.
Without any special equipment, our guys weld the parts together using ordinary welding.
After the candle holder is ready in shape and all the parts have found their place on the candle holder, we disassemble it to paint the necessary parts with special paint.
At the same time, the brass sleeves are polished to a shine and varnished to fix this shine.
This is a very symbolic product because they also illuminate and warm Ukrainians while the enemy is doing its best to leave us without electricity and freeze us.
Ukrainian brave soldiers from the front line send us shell casings, realizing that this will help raise funds to help the country. Our team came up
with a lot of homemade machines to bring this design to life.

Now, after the paint has dried, we put our candle holder back together again. The only detail left is an engraving that says what kind of product it is and what it is made of. Then we pack it up and send it to the future owners, to whom we are very grateful for their indifferent attitude to our country.
