HUGE Advent candelabra

Huge advent candelabra for the garden.
This is build using commonly accessible materials here in Sweden, you might need to find substitutes if you live elsewhere.

The files for this thing contains the flame or the "bulb", the top of the candle, and the foot needed to mount the candle on a flat surface.
The box is made from plywood just eyeballed to shape, cut out with a jigsaw and screwed together with scraps I had laying around, then painted with outdoor suitable paint.

The larger tube for the candle is 110 mm standard grey sewagers, spraypainted white.
I used 4 lengths of 650, 750, 850 and 950 mm long, but this is up to you to use what ever length you like.
The wick is a 100 mm long piece of 20mm OD plastic tube, spray painted black.
The top piece is glued in to the bigger tube, but leave the "flame" loose so that you can access the LED-bulb for replacing if needed.

The wick also contains a glued in G4 bulb holder just as the one shown in one of the pictures, and in that a 12V G4 LED warm white bulb also shown, all driven by a 12V LED transformer. All of which is available on ebay.

EDIT: Added per request a "bulb" with 40mm hole in the bottom for bigger type of flame bumbs.
