Step 4Final assembly
The final assembly consists of threading on your candleholder Tops to the Base. Because the metal feet can damage wood or glass surfaces, pick up some felt circles used for furniture and stick them on to the base feet.
I chose taper candles that also have conical bottoms which are easy to screw into the top fittings, but pretty much any candle that can fit will work.
Other Ideas
Since these are real pipes I think it would be interesting to outfit them with a propane feed and mantles to make a gas lamp. I've also seen the pipes used as an oil lamp. Since you can individually powder coat the fittings, it's possible to make really big sculptures even with a small oven. I'd like to build some kind of multicolored towering structure.
