General Information
Designed to fit 2" diameter pillar candles, this stand uses MDF ribs to create a colorful wall structure. As the candle runs low the light flickering through will change. A runny candle will create a nice effect as it starts to fill in between the ribs.

Cut Wall Sections
Cut a set of wall sections out of the MDF color of your choice. This is a good time to use double sided tape and avoid cutting all of those tabs.

Flip and Mill Chamfer
Flip the part over, using the registration holes as guidance. Mill the Chamfer onto the base, which will also cut the parts profile.

Fit and Finish
The wall sections may require light sanding for a proper fit. You want these to fit, but be tight enough to stay in place without glue.
