Guess what's for dinner tomorrow 2 cans of green beans because I'm making 2 of these,I always take people's wire hangers when they go plastic because you may not have access later and I use them alot very strong wire thank you
When I was in college working summers in a state park we had a MAJOR storm come through. Power was out for at least 2 weeks if I remember correctly, some people had to be flown out from their homes by the National Guard. I still went in to work and made a candle holder similar to thus from a Coke can so I'd have light when working the 3-11 shift.
I can't tell you how much i appreciate your NOT making me sit thru while you cut things... some of these people who make you sit thru the video while they "put every scoop of dirt in a pot" are ridiculous! TY for getting straight to it👍
Great video! I spent a decade on the road on foot and have very fond memories of building all sorts of useful kit with no more than tin cans, pliers, a nail and bailing wire. Glad to see you sharing the knowledge. Hopefully it can inspire some folks who have no money but are dreaming of getting out there to know the power is in their hands.
My only concern would be the plastic melting as the candle burns lower. I played around with this design and my best result was screwing the wood to the can from the bottom with a longer screw than necessary. Then removing the plastic from the equation I simply stuck the candle onto the part of the screw protruding from the bottom. Works perfectly. Thank you for your demonstration and for all you do on this channel. Eagerly waiting the next installment of the 1790s series.
Brilliant project for cadets or scouts to build together & used on weekend camping trips. I used tea light candles in other lanterns but this is more rigid & robust.
Learned in the U.S.Army, "KISS", keep it simple. Reutilizing trash into effective equipment is not only economical but helps the planet. Alot of corporations are profiting on what people don't know and your channel always helps these people with great ideas. Thanks and keep them coming. Guy, from Northeast Texas.
Nice idea, the only downside is that you can't let the candle burn all the way down ( but you could wrap some tinfiloe around the bottom of the candle to prevent the plastic from catching fire )
Having lived in a wilderness for two yrs with no electricity or money for batteries, that was my concern too, but even with foil, the plastic will melt/stink and possibly catch fire . Make sure to put it out if indoors and you feel sleepy
James, on the inside of that little green plastic candle holder smear a little household/bathroom silicone - it will protect the plastic when the candle starts burning down. This is SUCH a brilliant idea!
Pull tab Soda Cans work great by cutting two slots in the side one 1/2 from top and the other 1/2 from the bottom then cut from the top to the bottom from the center of the top cut. bent open the two side like double doors, place candle in the bottom, light and hang using the pull tab turn up. I've even cut tiny star shaped holes on the doors, so they can be closed and still allow light to shine through. Kids love projects like this. Good videos Thanks
Years ago, my Dad made a similar lantern.using a "Dr. Pepper" soda can. Instead of a top handle, he made a handle that he fashioned to fit the back. Thanks for bringing back memories.
Really like the baby food jar and tea candles lanterns 👍👍👍👍👍 Metal Coat hangers make good hooks for single wall metal containers for holding over a fire. Also tent & tarp stakes.
Good video man, ignore the single hater lol, it's actually a nice project and the soda bottle part is the best idea for it. I could see gluing in an old cheap mirror in the back or lining it with something extra reflective being a great addition, and perhaps giving the bottle insert a quick little liner of of tin-foil to make it resistant to the dripping of wax that may occur, plus adding a little extra reflectivity as a bonus. God bless.
Interesting! As kids, my brother and I made candle holders similar to yours, but with handles, to use in the winter digging snow caves. I like yours, going to give it a try. Thanks. Another good one.
Also some clay or sand in bottom. Pour dilute elmers glue in sand once in bottom. Another idea is a small piece of alum foil pressed in back to reflec light and a short lid of foil to help in rain.
i have some slightly smaller candles, i guess i could add screws in the side of the soda cap to make it fit snug. You all must have a lot of fun making these videos! Thanks for sharing!
I did some Winter camping when I was in college, waaayyy up in the Keweenaw Penninsula. It was -15°f, and my buddy and I kept a pup tent warm with a soda can lantern very similar to this. This hobo can is a bit more sophisticated.😆. I'm going to have to make one of these with the grandkids.
I normally don't like things made of cans because they're flimsy. But that candle holder looks sturdy, well made. Wouldn't mind making one myself. Thanks for the video.
Yes, this looks sturdy enough that I could screw the can to the wall of my cabin. I had a glass oil lamp (not lit) on a end table that was knocked over while I wasn't there.
awesome! using everyday items like this is brilliant! i would have never thought of it! you need to make a roundup vid of all these hobo creations all in one... i think folks will be amazed! 😊
One more idea for this neat camp tool. Get cheap 2 or 3 inch magnifying glass. Cut off handle. Fasten small brass hobby store hinge to one side of opening such that with glass connected it will swing in front of light opening. Makes 1 candle power spot light. Best done by adult. Need todjust spacr from candle to glass to get beam focus. Some old lamps for boats did thid for better rangr.

This is so awesome as always! Love the way you can actually turn it around and use the tall part of the can to "dim the lights" so to speak. Thank you once again. Love and blessings from Ontario Canada! EDIT: One thing I would do is line the plastic bottle bottom with a couple of layers of tin foil to make it heat and melt resistant.... just for a safer approach.
Thanks so much! There's really no need to line the bottom with foil as the wax doesn't get hot enough to damage the plastic and is very easy to clean up as the wax doesn't really stick to it very well.
We use to build something similar in the boy scouts back in the 60's, but we had the can cut in the center to make reflective wings for more light in the camp.we would hang 4 or more around camp facing each other, an would have plenty of light to see, plus generally a campfire in the center of camp for more light. Thx for the vid
Empty cans of many sizes are one item we have plenty of here in the Philippines. It will be good for our young troops to consider cans a resource rather than trash. The resulting candle holder will be appreciated and used a lot.
James that's a good job! It seems to me that you could use just about any type of can to make those lanterns provided they're not the big fat cans and I suppose that may work too. Wouldn't you also be able to glue in some aluminum foil to make it brighter but then again the heat May melt aluminum foil I don't know but I'll try. Yet another great tool for the toolbox. Thanks James. I believe my grandson's really going to like making this one. He cut his finger the last thing we were cutting but he's got to learn some way how to keep them out of the way. I've got some gloves that you can use that you want cut yourself maybe I'll see if they'll fit his hand and he can use those I should have thought of that the last time. Thanks again James. Stay vigilant my friend and may God bless!
I had told you a while back about the ones I was making. I like your ideas on adding the wood to the bottom of it. It would make it a lot more sturdy especially in Wind. The problem is wind will blow that candle out without a cover. That is why I was using a pop can. I sanded the can off before I opened it. Believe me it makes it a lot easier. And then I did very similar to what you did. I like the way you put a bend in your handle that's a great idea I think I'm going to incorporate into mine along with a heavier base. And then I would cut a clear water bottle. The smooth kind, and I could put the can down in it and I made little holes around the bottom to let air in on the upper sides of the bottom Edge and I attach the handle onto the plastic. This was the only way I could see of keeping them lit outside in the Wind. It's pretty windy here in Oklahoma. And your solution of the wood will be great for helping keeping it down because those things are pretty light. I am also impressed with your use of the top of the 2 L bottle. It might be an easier way of using a candle holder instead of the glass ones I bought at Walmart for a dollar. And you can run a screw through it like you did to the wood. Absolutely brilliant. On my model the can keep the plastic from melting and it has really good ventilation
That's outstanding. Simple and well thought out. Have used a simpler version camping if the wind gets up. Unfortunately it's not difficult to find a littered soda can these days out in the woods, I'd leave the front part you cut out on and cut it down the middle then across the bottom, open the two sides like a pair of window shutters as additional draft stoppers. The candle would be surrounded by pebbles inside the can or the outside of the can by small rocks for stability (or both). Done. Your empty plastic bottle candle holder would be an easy add on here as littered plastic bottles are an easy find too.
Wow. That bail handle looks familiar. I remember you convincing me in the comments that it was a good idea for the stanley two cup cook set. This is an awesome idea. Think the only thing I would do differently is to try to polish the inside of the can to reflect more light.
Hi James, lamps like this illuminated the tunnels during WW2 notably Tom, Dick and Harry at Stalag Luft III for the Great Escape etc. An inexpensive polished brass tea light holder is listed on the Civil War Sutler website.
Hi James, another variant of this light was known as the 'Poacher's lantern' which shone a light in one direction only rather like a carriage lamp. The candle was set inside a large horizontal tin, a carry handle was fixed to the bottom of the tin, a series of vent holes for the candle was drilled into the side of the tin sited above the candle flame. This light would help its owner find his/her way along dark passageways or in woods at night.
A quick Coke can candle holder: using a Coke can on the side. Come down about a half an inch and taking a knife making incision and go all the way to within a half an inch of the bottom, making a vertical line. Taking your knife, at the top cut left and right to almost the side of the can. Do the same with the bottom and when you're done you should have two wings that will open up. If you want to make it easy you can cut the left and right parts first and then do the vertical part. Of course being polished aluminum it's highly reflective. You can put any candle in there, but it works good with tea light candles. The tab at the top, it can be folded up and used to hang it from a tree branch or attach something to it to carry around.
Thanks for asking, but it really only burns as bright as a candle in the dark. So, if you've ever seen a candle burning in a room that's pretty much the effect you get.
Thanks for watching! Because I have so many viewers with Worldwide exposure I don't share my location on a public forum like this. I hope you understand.
Which I made 8 candle leatherns using the number 10 cans during the Labor day storm knock out the power and everything else. Plus I was ready for what happened

How about making the whole candle holder out of aluminium/tinfoil !
Also it would be lot easier to recollect the melted wax. You just have to boil it.
I was thinking the same, maybe a metal candel holder ?
James, on the inside of that little green plastic candle holder smear a little household/bathroom silicone - it will protect the plastic when the candle starts burning down. This is SUCH a brilliant idea!
Thanks so much for the idea, that's a great one!
You sure do come up with really nice projects to do. Thanks for another great one.
Thanks so much!
could put some aluminum backing tape on the back to increase the distance the flame carries.
Yes, you could definitely do that.

You can get flexible mirrors I think. I think that's a great idea.
I was just thinking over the weekend I was needing some sort of cheap candle lanterns and here you are!!! Great idea amigo!
awesome idea and I am definitely building this lantern...also I'm going to put the silver sticky tape inside can for more reflection from candle flame
Amazing, what a great little lantern….ty for sharing
Ive always loved candle light. Im doing this project this weekend for sure. Thank you, James!
Love your handle!
@@42lookc Thank you!
Well thought out and well presented. Practical craft activity for youngster with adult assistance. Very nice.

Interesting! As kids, my brother and I made candle holders similar to yours, but with handles, to use in the winter digging snow caves. I like yours, going to give it a try. Thanks. Another good one.
They sell Shinny Aluminum Tape for heating and dryer vents, a small piece on the inside of the can would help direct where you want it.
Yes, you could absolutely add that to this project.
Best design for a candle lantern that I've seen.
Thanks so much!
That was pretty cool , I love DIY anything.
Want to say your videos are relaxing.
Also some clay or sand in bottom. Pour dilute elmers glue in sand once in bottom. Another idea is a small piece of alum foil pressed in back to reflec light and a short lid of foil to help in rain.
Line the inside back with a trimmed to fit aluminum can insert. That way you have a smoother, more reflective surface to throw more light.
Or HVAC aluminum tape, like he used in the baby food jar lantern.
Yeah - like a smooth soda can or something.
i have some slightly smaller candles, i guess i could add screws in the side of the soda cap to make it fit snug. You all must have a lot of fun making these videos! Thanks for sharing!
use melted wax, either by dripping wax from the flame, or heat the bottom of the candle to soften it enough to stick in the base

Candle in a can,wow genius.
Hi James, lamps like this illuminated the tunnels during WW2 notably Tom, Dick and Harry at Stalag Luft III for the Great Escape etc.

Just wondering if the wax will melt the plastic pop bottle? If not, that is one neat candle holder for camping!!!!!!
The wax isn't hot enough to melt the plastic and the flame should be extinguished by the pool of wax before it ever reaches it.
VERY cool improvement on the candle-can idea. Love your designs.
James I like it ! Good project for all of us !
Thanks so much, my friend!

If you want to make it easy you can cut the left and right parts first and then do the vertical part. Of course being polished aluminum it's highly reflective. You can put any candle in there, but it works good with tea light candles. The tab at the top, it can be folded up and used to hang it from a tree branch or attach something to it to carry around.

Soft drink can seem to be a better option. Easy to cut with even scissors and the interior reflection is better 😊
