T Light holders

Seeing Jims T-light holders reminded me of some I had made last year.

The glass inserts were all sourced from ebay or flea / antique markets but, the y were like rocking horse droppings they are so scarce.

Well young Steven a man of many talents I would say.
They are absolutely superb.
The bottom right looks like it was frightful to turn and came out stunning.
You have deservedly earned my respect for sure.

Thanks George,

They didn't hang about for long - the wife / daughters / mother took em as soon as they were made!! Must be a woman thing!

They are well turned Steven, it is clear why they are no longer in your possession ...

They still look great Steve, Been hunting for the inserts since you first posted these, But rocking horse poop and these inserts does not appear to exist in Aust.

I like these tea light holders. I get them from IKEA for fifty cents each. They are actually made to hold taper candles, but I turn them upside down, mount them in turned wooden holders and put tea lights in them. The tall ones are actually 3-way candle holders. The tops are turned to fit the IKEA glass holders, but they can be romoved and inverted to hold taper candles, or removed completely to hold large candles.
