Andy , a niice quick project made from off cuts or left overs . I would sand the openings and rub some wood wax in so they are not the raw wood edges

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Gary... Thank you... yes.. great use of off cuts... Definitely worth sanding inside.. I totally agree... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

Good job, think I would have drilled the larger hole for T light first in order to retain centre. Cheers Dave 🇦🇺

[@AndysCornishCreations]

@@davidharnett5640 Hi David... You are quite correct, that is the best way to do it... I tend to go small 1st because all my forstner bits are blunt and the large ones struggle to cut... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

Should of put some finish on the inside an around the holes. I look real good but unfinished. Thanks Tim

Nicely done, Andy. I made one of these last week for an ornament exchange at the local woodturning club. Used a larger hunk-o'-wood (2 1/2") as I was not sure a 2" spindle would be big enough. Now that I see it is, I will be making a few more smaller ones.

A nice early project for those that have done a few basics on lathe, drill and finishing to start to blossom. Beautiful.

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Andy many thanks for the video I’ve now made a few of these they seem to disappear 🤔 on a regular basis. Had the same problem with scraps sometimes being a bit on the short side so ended up putting a short collar on the base in a contrasting timber to get better proportions.

Hi again Andy, great job. I gleaned an idea from one of Mike Peace's videos, inserting a small mirror in the top to help reflect some light from the candle. Maybe a bit OTT? I'll send you over one to try (if you have the inclination), Cheers & Seasons Greetings from Titanic town. Steve

How do you get the candle to stay put? Wood moves with temperature and humidity. One day the candle might fit properly then the next it might not fit at all or not stay in.

Hello Andy. Great video. Thank you so much for the inspirational and educational video! super like and new subscriber. I do have a question about finishing the inside. My question is simply how would I finish the inside on the lathe to match the outside?

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Glen... I'm glad that you found the video useful... Thank you very much for your super like and subscription... To sand and finish the inside... Stick some velcro around a piece of 3/4 inch dowel and use the 2 inch velcro sanding pads .. Or wrap sandpaper around the dowel and ca glue to attach or double sided tape... Just don't stick your fingers inside... To polish, you can just wrap a piece of cloth or paper towel around the dowel... I hope that this will help... Take care my friend and all the best from Andy
