[TheForge] Yellin question

[Dave Mudge]

Steve, I don't think that the top piece is twisted. I think that is a
chiseled design that gives the impression of being twisted. I would
assume that the sheet metal sides are gas welded or brazed to the top
frame. I will forward this to Clare Yellin and see if she knows
anything about the piece.
