Toreus Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Very nice- I'll definitely have to make some of these! How did you attach the candle base to the stem? It doesn't look welded... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easilyconfused Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 I plug welded the cups to the handle by punching a hole in the handle and plug welding the cup to it, and then ground the welds down and heated to scale off the grinding marks.

Dodge Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Really neat. I like lighting projects. They seem to be a timeless and popular theme. Even as the incandescent bulb business has come to and end, being replaced by CFLs, I believe good old wax candles will always be around :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I tried my hand at them at a demo, last weekend. Sold 8 of them and have orders for about a dozen more. Wow! Couldn't believe how well they went over. Thanks for the idea. And NO I did not take credit for the original design. I told the ones that asked where I got the idea from. Gave IFI a little advertising. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfshieldrx Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I started out with two for my wife then a couple for gifts and then a couple more special requests ("i want leaves on mine...")... Glad those are working out well for you...bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
