Dee Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 As a hobby, my husband has been making candle holders in various sizes from recycled hardwoods. He had been bugging me for about a year to post pictures of some metal holders that he has found in candle holders he's bought. We have looked on the net endlessly and have contacted companies we know of, but can't seem to get any answers.The black one is 1 5/8 diameter and about 1/2 in in height.The grey one is 1 5/8 diameter and about 5/8 in in height.Any help directing us to a place that makes or supplies these would really be appreciated.

sharyl55 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Don't know where you find the metal cups but wanted to say your DH's hardwood candle holders are fantastic looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 There may be others, but this is the only place I've seen them so far. HTH http://www.nationalartcraft.com/subcategory.asp?gid=5&cid=109&scid=239 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Thanks to you both. I looked at that site earlier today Ducky and I think they have a hole in the bottom so you can put a cord through for a glass light candle, but thanks for looking for me Think he may have to find someone who has a metal press or can cast metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchofscents Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I have found a few of these for you. If you want to look for more search for "metal candle insert" and weed through the results.I know you said you didn't want the hole at the bottom, but this looks to be standard.http://www.bayerwood.com/search_results1.php?catID=40&mode=categoryhttp://cgi.ebay.com/4-Brass-Candle-inserts-holders-woodturning-wood-turning_W0QQitemZ8208447525QQcategoryZ3126QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Brass-Insert-For-Candle-Sticks-Cups-Fits-1-2-Hole_W0QQitemZ8161479419QQcategoryZ71178QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/100-Candle-Cups-Brass-Inserts-29-32-Woodworking_W0QQitemZ8206825301QQcategoryZ3131QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://www.loudavis.com/product.asp?sku=3877&id=05032657241761147021167http://www.howee.com/shop/index.php?action=item&id=159&prevaction=search&previd=&prevstart=0http://www.ceramicdecorandmore.com/supply/candle/HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I just assumed (yeah, I know the saying) that the hole was for a screw/nail and used to attach it securely in case it's sitting on top of the design, not embedded. Either way, I wouldn't think it would be a problem. One burn and the hole will be covered by wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I thought Hobby Lobby was carrying something like this at one point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Thanks again for all your help. Think I should have said that the cups are solid, with no hole, so that you can put tealights in them. Here's a picture of the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Ohh, that makes a difference. For some reason I was thinking tapers, though I did wonder why the cups in your pic were so wide...LOL Teaches me to think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stclaircandlelady Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 What about a hardware store? Maybe they have "caps" or something like it.Kerristclaircandlelady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I was thinking tapers, though I did wonder why the cups in your pic were so wide...LOL Teaches me to think That's too funny. I also thought they were for tapers. It never occured to me that you were talking about something that would hold a tealight. I also seemed to have "assumed" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
