Wood Candle Holder

This wood candle holder is small, simple to make and requires the use of only one electric tool.

All measurements are given in millimeters. However, should you wish to convert to inches this is easily done by dividing the given measurements by 25.4.

A list of woodwork hand tools required:

All the woodwork tools listed above can be replaced by their electric counterparts if required or available

Consumables:

Timber – any one of the following will work or use whatever you have on hand 20mm pine clear – should not have any knots in the wood

20mm MDF called superwood in some countries Cold white glue – this is a water based glue and I find it the best for this type of wood work Panel pins Sand paper- 80 grit and 160 grit. Tea candles – available from most hardware stores, candle stores and many normal grocery stores or you can get these LED Tea Candle lights which are a great idea Lantern glass – these are available from most hardware stores.

Method:

Depending on the timber you have selected for your project, the cutting to size of the timber could vary. I used clear pine laminated sheets when I originally made the wood candle holders.

These I bought as laminated sheets already planed down to 20mm and ready for use from my local hardware store. For the purposes of making the candle holders I found this to be the most economical choice.

Originally, when I started making these wood candle holders, we as a family needed a bit of extra income. The faster I could produce the product, the quicker we could sell them, recover our expenses and put a little extra into the monthly kitty.

I have since made hundreds of them in various sizes and continue to enjoy to make them for gifts, table center pieces etc.
