Candle Holder Construction

Yeah that is an important part that I left out.  So your blank stock should be 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" X 10" or so.  And that is more for safety than anything else.  So then you'll do your dado 3/4" (or more)down from both ends and fit that to your candle base.  Once you have a snug fit, cut the angle on top of the legs first, and I usually do that around about a 15° angle, I shoot to have a 1/2" of material on the top of the base.  If you have a crosscut sled then set up a stop block to cut the legs to about 3 1/2" to 4" depending how far off of the table you want your holder to be.  Hope this helps, if you have any more questions I will be more than glad to help.

    Thanks for Your Time,

What is the length of the legs?
