For making the wick holder you'll need the top of the can.



Start by using the hammer and nail to punch a hole in the center of the top, just slightly bigger than your wick. While you're punching holes you might as well punch two holes on opposite sides of your Cantern™.



Use the pliers or your fingers to bend the top of the can into a pair of legs and feet with the center hole right at the apex of the legs.



Slide your wick through the hole... To make it easier, you can twist a bit of thin wire and the wick together to help stick it through the hole and also to give some support to the wick. Once your wick holder is finished you should be able to plop it into your nearly working Cantern™.



Also, with some thick wire or a coat hangar, make a handle for your Cantern™ by bending the wire/coat hangar into an arch with the two ends of the arch being just farther apart than the can and then bending a centimeter on either side inwards. Now the handle should fit into the holes you made earlier. If you want it more secure, you can also pieces that hook into the Cantern™ upwards so they cannot become free.
