Happy Hanukkah!

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!

I downloaded the MP3 and am listening to it right now! Hot doggies, it's great!

Oh yeah. Lots of ways they could do that from cogs .... or just use sets of these http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodRR_16R.html

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?
