Thanks for watching the video! Please leave a thumbs up (or a thumbs down!) and a comment in the section down below.
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
@Michael Harvey for UA-cam’s purposes, either is valuable information, and therefore counts towards the creator’s interaction count.
@@donnacollins1356 add a can of corn and make succotash!
never ever a thumbs down
@@zakthewarcat3172 I agree, but there is a reason why some creators say that.
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👍
Thanks, some of my very early videos were not edited as well. I do try to keep it more user friendly these days.
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
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 ?
Your projects are fun and they don’t cost a lot, thank you.
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.
Excellent adaptation. The work on the cabin is progressing nicely and we are working on episode 15.
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.
Thanks so much!
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.
You sure do come up with really nice projects to do. Thanks for another great one.
Thanks so much!
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.
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!
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
Amazing, what a great little lantern….ty for sharing
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.
Thanks for watching and for sharing the memories!
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.
Thanks so much for going to bat for me and for watching the video. God bless you too!
You can get flexible mirrors I think. I think that's a great idea.
Ive always loved candle light. Im doing this project this weekend for sure. Thank you, James!
Love your handle!
@@42lookc Thank you!
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.
Want to say your videos are relaxing.
That was pretty cool , I love DIY anything.
Best design for a candle lantern that I've seen.
Thanks so much!
I think anyone can afford this great little candle idea, thanks
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
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.
Thanks so much and I'm glad that you liked it!
I was just thinking over the weekend I was needing some sort of cheap candle lanterns and here you are!!! Great idea amigo!
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.
Cool little project that utilizes stuff we would normally just be throwing away. Great job.
could put some aluminum backing tape on the back to increase the distance the flame carries.
Yes, you could definitely do that.
Bravo... wonderful project!! greetings from Switzerland
Thank you so much, my friend! I hope all is well with you and yours in your beautiful country!
Well thought out and well presented. Practical craft activity for youngster with adult assistance. Very nice.
That was great! Thank you for sharing
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.
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it!
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.
Who knew camping had arts and crafts. Thanks Jimmy!
Thanks for watching!
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
Nice job. Amazing things you can do with scrap. Nice video thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
Now that is a bright idea haha 😅😆
A nother bright hack as always you have a Blessed day God Bless my friend
Thanks, and God bless you too!
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.
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.
I like this lamp, I will make one tomorrow,thanks for share...
you make hobo into a proud job. I love it.
Good job James! Excellent do it your self lantern.
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! 😊
Thanks so much, that would be an interesting project if I ever get the time to do something like that.
Another neat little camp project. Thanks James
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.
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.
Another great idea Jim still say you should put this all on DVD ! It would sell
Thanks. That would be a great idea if I ever get time to do something like that!
Fun little project and quite a handy unit.
Hello.my old friend i see your stiol making videos about us. Thank you so much for bringing our.culture out there

@@nicolehervieux1704 our trails will cross. See you then.
Simple and effective. Great Video.
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.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video and find it useful!
you could keep a cup of coffee warm too.
Love that bail.
Thank you! I love how you use ordinary every day things that we have around us. Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose!🦋
I really love your channel you do have some amazing ideas thank you
Hey Jim, I always love watching your videos. I appreciate them very much!
this is another great video; I really do enjoy them, and the items you show us are easy to make thank you !!
Thanks so much!
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.
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!
Yes, you could definitely scale this up to a certain degree. Thanks for watching and tell your grandson I said hello!
@@WayPointSurvival will do James he gets kick out of these videos
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.
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.
Indeed! Thank you for watching!
Creative as ever.
Thanks so much, my friend!
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
Excellent, I really like your ideas as well!
Great idea!! Thanks a million!
Hi James! One of the things I like about this channel is the imagination and tinkering. Nice project!
Wholly MacGyver! Dig it!
Thanks so much, that's a real compliment!
Wassup brother, it was great seeing y'all on Sunday
Thanks, it was great to see you all as well!
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.
Excellent. Thanks for the info and for watching the video!
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.
You can also just put some dirt or small pebbles in the bottom of the can then put the plastic candle holder down and that gives it the weight needed to not get flung around.
Thx love your ideas, great instructions easy to follow! ❤Greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
Awesome one I can make at home great video
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
Nice cheap easy to make lantern. Well done once again. I just noticed you have 150k subs, congrats.
Thanks!
Good little project, I may give it a try
Fun little project!
Bravo, super réalisation, efficace, pas cher, facile à réaliser.
Merci!
Candle in a can,wow genius.
Another easy option instead of the wood base would be water or small pebbles or sand in the base of the can. That would provide a decent weight for the base.
That's a great little project.
Soft drink can seem to be a better option. Easy to cut with even scissors and the interior reflection is better 😊
But, not nearly as sturdy or durable.
You Done A Good Job On The Candle 🕯️.
Thanks!
Pretty cool!
Real cool lantern
Awesome project and very useful, too. God bless you and yours.
Thanks so much, God bless you too!
It's BEAUTIFUL! I definitely want to do one of those! :)
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.
Very solid tip-over-resistant Wind proof candle Lamp!
Thanks for the video James; this is a neat little project.
Thanks so much!
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
I think I will make either a half or a full dozen of these. There are just too many blackouts happening recently.
James I like it ! Good project for all of us !
Thanks so much, my friend!
These hacks do you do are amazing thank you so very much I'm gonna have that in my truck
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Thank you for the demonstration.
Love your ingenuity!
Very helpful. Thank you.
James, all your videos are good but this one is an absolute ripper. 👍
Thanks so much!
VERY cool improvement on the candle-can idea. Love your designs.
This idea is GENIUS!
Thanks!
Always a great idea coming from you, sir. keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!
Nice setup. I think I might try for a tea light
Excellent. Thanks for watching!
Great video, hello from Fresno California 👋
Hello, and thanks for watching!
Another great project! I can’t wait to make this!
