Perfume Burner Thingy

[Parm]

few weeks ago I was bored and went into the workshop. Didn't know what to do so came up with this. The water holder is a50mm pipe fitting, I cut it neatly and sanded flat with some abrasive paper on a glass sheet. Soldered a base from the inside then filed, sanded and polished smooth. Joint is almost invisible.

Made the holder from a strip of copper sheet cut and bent to shape. Invisible fixing for the base were copper slate nails soldered to the underside of the holding arm. These were inserted through two holes in the oak base and peened over.

can i just ask a question do you think the heat from the candle will melt the solder holding the bottom in the cup or did you use silver solder

Good question! I've not actually tried that so not sure. But the volume of water in the holder is much more than the burn time of a tea light. Just top it up with hot water from the tap to give it a head start and off you go

i was mainly thinking if the fluid content went before the tea light did

No that will never happen, a single tea light isn't enough to consume all the water in the holder. If I'm gonna be honest it's happened by chance rather than any advance planning

No and no

 

[Parm]

No and no

Correct, I just used ordinary plumbers solder and paste flux

I hope you have given your misssus full risk assessment to read before venturing close to it with a naked flame, Apart from that nice job,

 

[chunkolini]

I like that, charge enough for it and the Yummy Mummies Chappies will buy it for them.

The whole thing is made with scrap. The pipe fitting was crushed at one end was in a skip. The copper sheet was an off cut and dictated the final shape and the oak was again an off cut from another project.

It looked really good when it was all polished up

idle hands as they say...
