SH4 / WELD-IT-YOURSELF KIT

Texas Christmas Stocking Holders, set of 4

Four mantel stocking holders that won't tip: Texas, a snowflake, a star and a pine. Each stands on a 1/2 in steel base and holds a stocking up to 7 lb. Every part is laser cut and locates itself: the hook straddles the base, the shape slides down over the hook, and a few short beads finish each one. Cut in Greenville, Texas.

Coming soonEvery kit is prototyped and test-built before it goes on sale.

What you’ll need

  • MIG or flux-core welder (1/2 in to 3/16 in fillets; a 120 V machine handles short beads)
  • Angle grinder with a flap disc or wire wheel
  • A square and a few clamps
  • Welding helmet, gloves, jacket and safety glasses

Finishing

  • The parts ship bare with a light oil film. Wipe them down with a degreaser before welding.
  • Wire-brush or sand them, then paint: satin black, hammered bronze, or Christmas red with gold.
  • Or clear-coat the bare steel for a raw, rustic look.
  • Felt pads under the base protect the mantel.

Safety

  • Each holder holds one stocking up to 7 lb. Heavier stockings can pull it forward off the mantel.
  • Keep the base flat on the mantel and the hook over the edge; don't set it on a mantel shallower than the base.
  • Keep stockings clear of the fire and the fireplace opening: they burn.
  • Don't let kids pull on the stockings or climb up to them.
