PREMIUM PROJECT
Candle Holder
The Candle Holder is a short project which everyone should try. It’s a great way to master basic Origin operations and progress onto more advanced Premium Projects. You can use the Candle Holder to house a tealight and traditional tapered candles. A tray in the middle can be used to store matchsticks. You’ll spend approximately one hour making the Candle Holder from a hardwood of your choice.

About the Project
The Candle Holder is a simple take on an ancient design artifact. Create a calming ambience by combining multiple Candle Holders. Try making a collection from different materials including Maple, Walnut, White Oak and Ash.
How You'll Make It
Designing with Origin
You'll use Origin's on-tool design features to draw circles which match the diameter of your tealight and your tapered candle.
Pocketing the internal features
You'll use Origin's stock 1/4" up-spiral cutter to pocket the features of the Candle Holder.
Cutting the outer profile
You'll cut the outer profile of the Candle Holder in multiple passes using Origin's offset feature.

Helpful Information
What's included with my purchase
Your Premium Project will include a comprehensive bill of material, illustrated instructions, and Origin ready cutting files. Some projects will also include technical drawings and 3D models.
How do I know if I will be able to build the project?
Each Premium Project is assigned with a skill level and approximate build time, so you can pick a project that’s right for you. You should also check the project bill of materials to ensure you have access to the required tools, materials and hardware before purchasing a project.
Are the materials included in the price of the project?
No. Purchasing a Premium Project gives you access to build plans and project documentation. No physical items are included with your purchase, but we provide links to suggested sources for all required tools and materials.
Do you offer refunds?
You may cancel your Premium Project purchase and request a refund within fourteen days of your purchase, provided that you have not downloaded or accessed the project instructions or the files.
Can I sell the project resources?
Selling or granting access to Premium Project resources to anyone else is strictly forbidden.
Can I sell the finished product?
You cannot use Premium Projects for commercial purposes. You may not sell your Premium Projects to others. This includes the physical item, the project plans, and any resources purchased as part of the Premium Project. You are welcome to gift your finished Premium Project build (the physical item) to someone else, so long as no money is changing hands. You may not gift the project plans/resources to others.
Will I need any special software to build the project?
You don’t need any software to use the 2D cutting files if you own Origin. The files are ready to cut and will be available on your tool once you purchase a Premium Project. You’ll need a 3D modelling program in order to open the 3D models which are included with the project. The technical drawings are provided in PDF and you’ll be able to view them on any compatible tablet or desktop.
