This Efficient Electric Heater for Curling Irons can be Made Quickly and Is Safer to Use than an Open Flame
Heating of curling irons is a not uncommon source of fires, and to minimize this danger, an electrical heating device is valuable. In the arrangement shown, a long candle-shaped incandescent lamp is mounted in a suitable can, or metal tube, to form the body of the heater. This should be bright, both inside and out, and preferably nickeled. Two irons can be heated by setting them in the holes in the top. Four small brackets, soldered, as shown, around the edge of the can, hold it to the base. A porcelain lamp receptacle is used, mounted on a base block. Stain, fill, and finish the wood as desired. In assembling the parts, screw the receptacle to the base, and connect the flexible cord through a suitable hole. Screw in the lamp, and fasten down the body.—John D. Adams, Phoenix, Arizona.
