My more serious diary:
A Walk Through the
Valley of the Shadow

Today we celebrate the birthday of Edward Coke, born in 1552. He was a jurist in Merrye Olde Englande during the time that Queen James of Scotland was inheriting the English throne from King Elizabeth, thus causing England to become a province of Scotland.

Our church uses fake plastic candles that you fill fulla lamp oil instead of real candles. I have no idea why God lets us get away with such blatant fraud.

But anyhow, trying to hold the fake candles still while filling them fulla lamp oil without spilling lamp oil all over the place is quite a juggling act.

One of the religion-supply companies makes special holders to put the fake candles in so you can use both hands to hold the jug of lamp oil, but the price is about $98.95, which sounds kinda exorbitant.

So, MrsPest showed me the picture in the catalog and asked if something like that could be made out of ordinary wood, so I looked at it, and it looked sorta like one of those test tube holders you use in a chemistry lab.

So I said, hey, I made a test tube holder as one of my projects back in junior high school woodworking class. They're easy to make!

So, with a buncha scrap lumber and a few hours in the shop, I made two of them, one each apiece for St Peters Chapel and Middleham Chapel.

Now all we gotta do is have the preacher sprinkle them with holy water so they'll be canonically valid, and they can be put to use.

Happy Friday!
