Maybe "copy" was a little too strong. What I am looking for is an idea of
how much wood I have to leave under the cup, whether just cut from wood or fited with a metal liner. Ron "Leif Thorvaldson" wrote in message ... Copy? Copy? Have you no pride, man!!

Depends on the length of the candle, and its diameter. Traditional dinner
candle has a 7/8 taper to 3/4 base, for which you'll want to grind a spade bit or use an insert. With a quarter inch around it, looks pretty good, but the base might look too broad or heavy if you are going to counterbalance a long candle. You can hedge your bets by turning on a 1" pin chuck or with pin jaws into the base. That way you can add some sinker lead or steel washers to firm up the whole thing, while still making it look light and graceful. "Ronald Berman" wrote in message m...

Hi Ron,
I used this site, http://www.alaska.net/~atftb/candle-aaw.htm as "inspiration" to design my candle holders. It also gives some useful tips on mounting them on the lathe. Hope it helps. Roy |
