 mushrooms, and insence burners
hey everyone, one of my kids asked me to make an insence burner,sooo... the gears got turning and i took some pipe , i believe 1/4" and a fender washer. i drilled some holes in the pipe and made a taper , then chiseled & cuped the washer and welded it to the pipe "stem" it looked ok, but it didn't draft well. any how, does anyone have an idea or plan for mushrooms, and/or insence burners,(cone, stick, or oil.) looking forward to seeing whats out there. thanks.  |

all the incense burners I've seen are just a holder for the incense and a place for the ashes to fall. You could flatten the pipe and drill one hole in an end to place the incense stick...put a short scroll on that end just for looks

Thank you John, that was my first attempt at a mushroom,(1/4" pipe & fender washer). the other mushroom was made with 1/2" pipe & a piece of sheet metal 4" dia. the cone incense smoke rises up the stem and rolls out from under the cap. looks cool  |

have you guys ever seen the incense holder/candle stick made out of a pair of tongs? It may be in the blacksmithing book up for auction on IFI right now. I like those incense holders  very cool

Awesome incense holder Ralphy. You should take a few down to the local head shop to make some cash! Here's one I did a while back, nothing too special, but it works:  |

Julian I believe what you are talking about is a rush lamp Allthough they can be used for insense they were designed to use bullrushes ( they came about about 200 years ago ) Mike
