Quick and easy tea candle lantern for backpacking or around the house. Helps reduce condensation when used in single walled tents or under tarps. Made with recycled materials. Created with Wondershare Filmora
Beautiful design and top-shelf craftsmanship. DIY projects are the order of the day in the Philippines. Items not made in this region and imported under a tax treaty are obscenely expensive with import tax, shipping, and VAT. We purchase a few quality tools and other products that we want to last for the long haul. For everything else, we attempt a DIY. This wonderful design may become part of the emergency dorm survival kit I am currently building for Beautiful Daughter who will soon be a college student. Your video is highly appreciated and you have a new subscriber. Watching from our "secret retirement location" in Bulacan province, on Luzon, in the Republic of the Philippine Islands.
Excellent build sir! I especially liked the appliance paint, something a lot of people would have missed. Respect for your patience, skill and ingenuity sir.
I am sure it would work, the only concern I would have is the friction fit for the base. The weight of the candle might be an issue with a larger candle, whereas a small tea light was not.
@@bizzarepack9436 There not very big candles. Their those five hour ones actually not four like I originally said. You can find them at the dollar store. They are often marketed as emergency candles. They aren't to big, burn well and bright and do last a while. Much longer than a tea light which is why I want to make a lantern that uses them for camping.
In the Philippines, several products come in small glass bottles with a "dimpled" exterior surface. I have been cutting glass bottles for many years to make various projects including shade/windshields for candles that many folks use at the cemetery. The dimpled glass does not block much of the light but does add another dimension to the glow of the candlelight. Cheap distilled gin is the main product. The bottles are recycled and used for paint thinner, denatured alcohol, acetone, cheap varnish, and a host of other products. Thankfully, these bottles are not difficult to find
