Multi-function Walking Stick III - Torch Bearer

Step 3: The Torch

These are the materials required to make the torch:

1/2" Copper Stub-out  - This is the same plumbing fitting used to make the Point in the earlier Instructable.

3/8" Threaded Brass Cap

3/8" Compression / 5/8" Sweat Brass Fitting  When purchased, this fitting comes with a compression ring and a threaded cap with a hole.   These are not used in this project.

#8 Rubber O-ring

Fiberglass Wick - purchased as Tiki torch replacement wicks

1. Sweat the fitting to the Stub-out using flux, solder, and a Propane torch

2. Install the wick into the stub-out until it just touches the bottom. Cut the wick about 1/2"  above the top of the brass fitting.  The longer wick ensures that it is always "retrievable".  (It prevents the wick from falling into the stub-out when the cap is screwed on.)

3. Insert the O-ring into the brass cap

Does anyone know were to get a stub out like that with the fat part 3/4 inch pipe? I cant even find one that reduces at the end especially in my size
