Turn Old Motor Parts Into a Candle Holder or a Vase!

Easy
I have 4 buckets of motor parts and I was looking for something when I thought of this project!
Old bearings, pipes and anything brass, steal or metal! What can I make?
A candle holder!
I took 6 bearing halves and stacked them up... hmmm that looks cool!!
I was so surprised when the glass fit in perfectly!! I used that to hold brushes and combs but haven't used it in years! It's just been sitting there in the " must save, might need it in the future" pile!
This is the one I will feature in the video below! The process is so easy! These parts are solid brass and very heavy! If I was to purchase something like this it would probably cost about $50 or more! I spent $5.62 on the JB Weld and only used a pinch along with the spray paint for $4.97 and only used about a third of the can on both candle holders! So for $10 to $11 I have two new solid brass holders not bad at all!!
I love the way it casts the light from the candle! See the circles behind the candle!
I spray painted it a hammered copper but...
it was just to dark! I really want it to be shiny!
Repaint!
So much better now! A very shiny gold!!
JB Weld steelstik and brilliant gold!!

My first tutorial video! I should have done a practice video, I didn't even realize I wasn't really in it until I was finished! That's okay I'm not the subject the candle holder is and the next video will be better, I promise!

Have a question about this project?
What are the exact names of the parts you used?
I love you used metal. So is steelstik only for metal objects? Great product for doing what you did. You have so many good ideas! Glad they featured the video too!
