I bet if we asked nicely, Resource Revival could make some very cool ones out of bike parts. http://www.resourcerevival.com/store/retail

And Susan already has an account with them.... and they are local....

I love the stuff I've bought from Resource Revival through TE.

Not Hanukkah-related, but entertaining: for those who missed yesterday's story on American Jewish music on NPR/PRI -- http://bit.ly/6nS3II

"Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" in Yiddish is awesome. I also liked the bossa nova "Hava Nagila." :)

Happy Hanukkah!

Buying 5 sets of those suckers would get awfully expensive! I suppose you could buy 4 sets and use something else for the shamash. Still awfully expensive.

They could make a big one of those bits, and a smaller one of welded bike chain with the little candle cups welded to it and with a chainring as the base.
They could also make one from a section of rim with a cog/ring at each end for bases and candle cups welded on. That would be quite cool.

A menorah can be made out of anything. One year when I was a child our menorah broke. Duck on Wheels made the most amazing one. Mom chose a large shallow enamel bowl, DoW made tiny aluminum foil boats, picture a shallow cup with a candle holder in the middle, each one about an inch around. Add water to the bowl, each day another "boat".

The effect was really striking. Right Duck? Duck? ;) :p

I love Hanukkah because it starts off with one little candle, and by the end you could set the world on fire. (or at least the curtains).

(That's why I've got a battery powered one on my windowsill. I'd rather not burn down the apartment building...)

About 10 years ago, my daughter was a 5th grader at the Jewish Community Center School, and we celebrated Hanukkah exuberantly. At about 6th candle, we met my folks at a resort in Mazatlan, and took the menorah, candles, and dreidel with us.

The menorah had a pretty much Pier 1 Imports-Made in India look to it, and the candles were WAY too close together. As we dreideled for peanuts, the Mazatlan breeze tickled the candles in a way that they threatened to join together into one gigantic torch.

Is this what people mean when they say "on fire for the Lord?!"
