Here's my take on the candle holders that hang inside mason jars.

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...

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.

I think this is pretty clever! well done

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 :)

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. :)

If it's not bad manners, can I ask what you were getting for them?

I was getting $12 each. I may up that a couple of bucks next spring. :D

The wifes birthday is in 2 days. Now I know what to give her!

Thanks for posting and yes I will give you credit for the idea.

Well gotta go light some coal

Thanks again,

Just got an order for 9 more for Christmas gifts. WOW! Those things are a hit!!! :D

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

These are truly a great idea. It is wonderful that something that seems simple in concept can be very elegant in use ... thanks for sharing!!
