Sometimes tinkering includes "make do" repairs, often called fractures. The piece I am working on here is a mug that lost its handle. Finding ways to get the metal married to the pottery without direct anchors is sometimes a challenge! This one was a complete success, and the owner of the mug was pleased with the outcome.

In the background there are examples of some of the items I craft, as well as some brass kettles that we offer for sale.
