Here’s a quick solution to lifting a heavy load if there is a beam in your shop. It’s not as handy as a

| Designed for 2” square candles, this holder features stems hot cut from the base material. It is made from ¼”
material, but can also be made from 5/16”or 3/8” stock for a bolder appearance. Two variations on the design appear
in issue 160.

Monkey tools are used to square the shoulder of a tenon after drawing it out. Round tenon monkey tools can
