    Default "Kerosene" lamp (wood project) – 08-16-2009,09:59 AM


    I went to a garage sale and found this...I'm going to take and make a pattern then make a few for my haunt.

    Should be fairly cheap (use scrap wood), mason jars are $7.00 for 24, and the lamp wire is about $1.00 at the craft store. I know you can get the nice looking ones for $5.00 at Big Lots (not wired) but projects keep me out of trouble...LOL. Painted up and "rusted" this will look nice...I think



    Later,

    Dennis

    Should be a great project to attempt.
    I don't always drink beer and build props.... but when I do it's a Dos Equis!

    I just cut out 3 of these but I found cheap $2.50 battery powered tea candles so I'll be using those....(6 for $2.50)





    Now the wife wants some for the craft show...that'll teach me...

    I had some drawn but when I scanned them they shrank...I'll try to scan them again tomorrow and post them.

    Thanks,

    pdf are too large to attach...I can't get the plans to print actual size so you'll have to play around adjusting the size. If you want them pm me and I'll send them to you.

    They go together pretty quick...here is a pic of the three I did this morning.



    Enjoy
