Wood turning - Tealight holder from Elm

In this video I turn a tealight candle holder from a piece of Elm. I style it after half a wooden barrel.

Nice stylish little tealight holder !

Thanks so much Bram and thanks for the sub!

I like the shape on the tea light holder and the idea of burning a ring either side of the band to stop seepage of the dye is a great idea. Will give that a go at some time is suspect. I also like those copper effect cups. I use those as well as I find they seem to go well with all sorts of wood. Thanks for uploading and stay safe.

@@MoleValleyMaker Ha Ha, I turned some pen pots once, which have to be the easiest thing to turn, yet thousands of people want to watch them and i cant figure out why

Nice one Dave..Very artistic...You are very talented..well done!

[@tomberardo3282]

copper cups look great where can Iget them

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Hi Tom, not sure where you are in the world but in the UK we can get them from most Turners suppliers or eBay. Hope that helps, Dave

Do you have a video on the palm sander

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Thank for the question. I don't have a video on the sander. It basically consists of a 50mm sanding pad from ebay. These have 6mm shafts so it has two bearing with 6mm central diameter and 6mm drill depth stop to hold it all together. Let me know if you want me to make a video to clear up any questions.
