Picked up a wooden nail keg at the Temecula Farmers Market a while back, about 18 inches tall and 10 inches in diameter. I stenciled "BLACK POWDER" on the side, added a twisted twine-wrapped wire fuse, and hung it from the rafters with a net. Then put a skeleton hand reaching down to light the fuse with a candle! The skeleton arm is plastic from Amazon. It only went to the elbow so I added a "humerus" made from a 1 inch wooden dowel. The candle is a piece of 3/4 inch PVC pipe that my candelabra fit in just right. I put some hot glue "wax drips" on the candle and spray painted it a yellowish tallow candle color. Completed the look with a flickering LED flame bulb Short video https://youtu.be/V0enxFTV0eA
