DIY - LED Flashlight Landscape Torch

DIY - Pathway Landscaping Tiki Torch Light

So I have a huge groove of Bamboo near my home and I have been intrigued with the idea of making something using it. So here it is - Trust me these get a huge WOW factor and can be made in under 10min. Enjoy

What You Need

  1. Get your bamboo - you will need at least 2 pieces. The first piece should be about 4 foot long and be about 2 inches in diameter. The Second piece can be short but must be larger in diameter than the first piece
  2. tin foil
  3. LED flashlight - about 1.5 inches in diameter
  4. Ideally a compund miter saw (a table saw will work too)

  • Cut the long piece of Bamboo just below the knuckle.
  • On the other end cut an angle to put into the ground

Lets Get to Work

This is the real interesting part of this project. Set the maximum depth of the saw to just begin cutting through the bamboo. Take your time and put multiple cuts (just going beneath the surface) up to where the flashlight will be.

  • Make the cap from the larger piece of bamboo. If needed remove some material from the edge with a chisel. Put a piece of aluminum foil inside and then celebrate!

ENJOY YOUR HANDYWORK!
