Bike Gear Candle Holder

This instructable shows you how to make a candle holder or plant holder out of bike gears.

I originally made this a long time ago and I used it to show off this little 9V Lantern Instuctable , which prompted a lot of people to ask about the stand.

Parts:
Front Chainring
Rear Cassette

Tools:
Dremel or hacksaw
JB Weld

Cut the chainring in half. I used a dremel mounted on the dremel multivise to do this.

Line up both halves of the chainring, and mark the middle.

Cut a notch in the middle, on one half of the chainring cut the notch on the top, on the other cut the notch on the bottom. This way they will fit together and be level with the ground.

Try it out and see how it works.

Mix up your JB Weld.

Just a tip, if you do this in a really cold garage (like I did...) the JB Weld will be a little thicker than usual.

JB Weld the notch in the chainring.

JB Weld up the cassette.

Clean up any extra JB Weld.

Let it dry and sand off any extra, clean up your new candle stand and use it.
