This pewter jewelry box, with its intricate designs, was missing a foot and came in for foot replacement surgery.
Pewter is a very tricky material that melts easily and quickly. Too much heat is often a problem. Even wax candles that drip onto a pewter candlestick holder will destroy the holder.
Unfortunately, many candlesticks have found their way to me, melted by the wax of a candle.
Silver-soldering would not have worked on this project because of the heat. Luckily, glue worked to affix the leg.
