need candle stick holder help

Sep 23, 2004 2 Replies

Hi all, I've been comissioned to do a bunch of candle stick holders and was wondering if someone can steer me in the right direction or web site. I have to make about a dozen different holders for a craft fair and would like to view different styles and shapes to get some ideas. Thanks in advance Dan


Try eccentric turning:

down to the very bottom. You can turn these between centers also, just offset-turn each section about 1/4" from center on three different axii about 120 degrees apart. While at actual center, turn a mounting spigot for your chuck at the base for boring out the candle cup hole after everything else, then reverse mount the cup on a jam spigot in the headstock with the tailstock into the base's center to finish off the bottom. Feel free to vary this technique, it's just a suggestion.
