    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?
