    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?
