Don. This book is well worth the money. Great, fun projects, that are not too cheesy.

Think my honey would be pleased to see one of these on her diningroom table. Thanx!

Thanks for the comments. It really did take no time at all to build. I did the cuts on the band saw. However I think if I did it again I could do a series of the vertical cuts using a mitre guage on the table saw and then cut the horizantal cuts on the bandsaw. I also recommend sanding the entire block before the cuts and then smoothing just the kerf areas.

The original design called for a round knob, but I modified it as shown.

Also the entire thing only measures about 5 inches tall.

Cool. So depending on the candles you want to use, you could use different thicknesses. Wider candles, thicker board. Neat.

Thanks for the idea John. I might just be able to sneak a few of these in this weekend with he 6 hours of workable temps I might get…
