Repairing a broken trophy

The mending of a trophy 130 years old.

I had to repair a trophy that was brought to me. The first thing was to make a simple cone, then shape it to fit the trophy base.

















































































I have now soldered the cone to the trophy base, having removed the old broken one.






























Soldering the trophy back together again
