Pioneer Handbooks: - How to make rushlights.

Our two rushlight holders. These supplied us with light for many years.


 Hold the weight up and the jaws open.
Let the weight down, and the jaws close to hold the rush stem or a taper.

    Interesting. I've heard of them, but don't recall seeing one before. Simpler versions would be quite easy to make.

    I agree Gorges. They are a simple device & with some simple tools would not be too difficult to make.
