Just bought some lamp wick and some galvanized wire to make olive oil lamps with.
Made my first one and it worked nicely.
Dashit these things are quick and easy to make. Just a pair of pliers and a pen knife, five minutes and you are done!
There was a bit of an oily smell in the air though and extinguishing it was a bit smokey. Must get my technique up there
