Kind of how I felt too :yikes:. Yup ..the kind that twists to open, but there's plenty of similar sized tins like shaving foam etc. Now there's an idea :) ....Cheers Andy. Cheers Russ :) and thanks for the comments every one.

Hi Knightfisher, Did try using a dremel tool and the little discs that came with it but I figured it would have taken forever and a fair few discs to cut a groove good enough to split the jar. Come to think of it I could maybe try out some of those diamond dremel ones. I'm quite interested...

Good idea swifty, thanks . Someone also suggested an angle grinder fitted with a masonry disc kept wet by a sponge.

Thanks Mesquite. Good point about the mask , cheers mate.

Tried that a few times ...was'nt pretty :yikes: . Think there must be a knack to it :). Hi Ness , It gives of a little less than the small Uco one as far as I can make out. Enough to act as a navigation light to help guide someone back to their hammock after a few beers :D. Hi...

Hi siman, Tried that method ,found it worked great with larger bottles/jars but had no luck with the narrow glass that was required for a candle lantern :dunno:.

Cheers Martin and Gaz :D.

I've been cutting up Lynx deodorant cans with a dremmel again :rolleyes: this time having a go at making an Uco type knock off tea light candle lantern. Finally work out a method of cutting glass bottles well enough to make a glass globe. Although , not being tempered , I'm unsure as to...

Looks really great Knightfisher. The pot support idea is inspired goodjob.

Nice one mate :), Like the pre-heater, good idea .

Very nice work Richard... the festive tankard is a really great idea :)

Spartan and Tinker for me too but I like the cork screw on the Spartan as it can house the little screwdriver which I find, as a spectacle wearer , comes in handy now and again :cool:.

Hi silvergirl, Based just outside Forfar, the reserve is called Murton used to be a sand and gravel quarry which has been reclaimed and now is a nature reserve and educational facility. Soon to also have a farm and tearoom too, got a wind turbine up to power the tea room now.

Used to work on an estate, which was a pretty varied job , quite a bit of forestry and sawmill work along with fencing and general building repairs....jack of all trades, same on most estates . Now work on a small local nature reserve which also trains young people in various outdoors skills .
