Now we cut the wood to the right size and angles. The excess wood is removed to make space for the lighter to nestle within. This is illustrated in the pictures.

In an office setting the wood could be removed by a patient person with an exacto blade. Or be slowly burned out with an element heated in the lighter flame.

This will vary for the shape / size of the lighter you choose.

You should play with this and do what feels right in your hand.

As in all good instructables, we'll be using hot melt glue but do not glue anything together yet.
