How to Make a Candlestick Handle
Overview
Crafting a candlestick handle involves precise steps to ensure a perfect fit. One crucial part of the process is creating a gauge to cut a slit in the base for the handle. Here’s a streamlined guide to help you with this project.
Creating the Gauge
Purpose
The gauge is essential for cutting a slit in the candlestick base. It needs a slope of 28 degrees to align seamlessly with the base of a router. Additionally, it should accommodate the candlestick legs.
Design Considerations
The gauge must:
- Be aligned with the rail of the lathe.
- Index to a bed plate on the table where the lathe is set up.
- Have a top inclined at 28 degrees.
- Feature a centered slit to fit a guide casing on the router's bed plate.
Materials
Use materials like plywood and MDF for the gauge. MDF is preferred because it allows the guide casing to slide smoothly, unlike laminated surfaces.
Construction
The gauge is essentially a box with slits at the front and back to handle the candlestick's excess material. The front faces the headstock, while the back slips beneath the candlestick cup. The inclined top is higher at the front.
To ensure stability, your gauge must not move. Allow about 1/8 inch of clearance between the gauge top and the candlestick base.
Assembly
- Parts: The gauge consists of two parts: the main box and a bed plate.
- Installation: The bed plate slides under the lathe tube, drilled with four holes for secure attachment.
By carefully constructing this gauge, you'll ensure a smooth process for creating a perfect slit for your candlestick handle.
