Cub Scout Pack 415

Our boys are on their last year in the Cub Scout and "bridging" to the Boy Scouts. John our Den 3 Leader asked me to build a candle holder. After looking at some examples online, I built one, using all hand power tools (jigsaw, random orbit sander, drill, and trim-router). I made the whole thing out of a solid 2x8" block of wood. It was very fun to make, and I hope it will last for many years to come as I'm donating the candle holder to Pack 415. Below is a picture I downloaded online. It looks like a candle holder with 1/2" holes on top for 1/2" candles. However, since John already had a bunch of 7/8" candles, I decided to change the design such that the candles would go BEHIND the arrow:

Here is work in progress (I already jigsawed the 2x8" lumber):

Here's one way to use the holder (7/8" candle mode):

Here's another way to use the holder (1/2" candle mode. The pencils are simulated 1/2" candles):
