Hi Jewel,
I believe that there have been many good ideas. The glass jar will work but
I am pretty sure that it will still have a plastic or metal lid. One thing
that I just thought of would to get a small piece of pvc drain line and end
caps. you could drill a hole in the end cap slide the wires inside and make
the connections then glue the end caps in place. then seal the hole where
the wires go inside. I would also suggest to contact a local electric supply
house. They may have something ready made for that particular application.
If you do use the glass jar I would also get a grommet to put inside the
hole to protect the wire, then seal everything. Quite a few years ago I made
a lamp out of a Yuengling quart beer bottle. After drilling the hole which
was clean it still have sharp edges both inside and outside. the outside one
could be sanded but it was highly improbable to finish the inside. a 3/8"
grommet worked perfectly. I found those at a local electronic supply house.

I think that I will stick to my jar idea. I will replace the plastic jar
with a glass one that I
have found, and will get a glazier's drill. I feel more confident of the
durability of the glass
than I do of the plastic.
I will also spread some silicon around the holes to keep any water out.
Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.
Jewel

hi jewel the only thing would do is put a mess of calk around the cable
where it goes through the jar ends.
