You can do this with hand tools/traditional tools if you don't have the BIG machines. Make sure you are careful and pay close attention to your work. That special someone will be very impressed,especially if you still have ALL your fingers and no major parts missing. I'm pulling for ya,we're all in this together!
I've made a few different videos using water based clear coat and even shellac. If you want a perfect fit for the tealight candles use a 1½" forstner bit
i just have a quick question for ya. i'm making my own candle holders and just wanted to ask the size of the feet you put on the bottom, i really like the idea of them and how nice they looked on yours
+justin weily I used shellac (UBeaut's Hard Shellac, to be precise), and no, I didn't sand it between coats. Shellac 'reflows' very nicely between coats and smoothed out.
I got mine from Carbatec, a local hardware store here in Australia. It looks like you're in the UK? At a quick glance, www.amazon.com/8oz-Wood-Glue-Roller-Bottle/dp/B00529YBD6 this is basically what I bought.
Thanks for the cool video. It was very informative. I just had a question. Is there any danger of finishing wood in linseed oil or another kind of oil and having tea light flames used on it? I was worried this might be a bit of a hazard.
As far as I know, once any particular finish is completed cured (cured, not dried, varies by finish) it shouldn't be particularly combustable. It'll still be plenty flammable as will the wood, but if its no longer combustable the candles in the little metal lining trays should be fairly safe. That being said, I'm a random guy on the internet who doesn't know what he's doing, so I could be wrong!
I used UBeaut's Hard Shellac (www.ubeaut.com.au/hardshell.htm), which I have a small amount diluted with denatured alcohol/metholayted spirits in a used jar of I *think* is teriyaki sauce. It's a nice clear shellac which dries very hard when cured.
No, oil like orange mineral oil do not provide a protective "film" - in this case that'd mean any wax that spills out from the candles would be a little bit more difficult to clean up. You could use a polyurathane, varnish, lacquer or just "regular" shellac - premixed or made up from shellac flakes. UBeaut Hard Shellac is just the one I like because its made in the same country as me.
OK, you say that need a "pretective film" like a stain film..?? I treated wood with a mixture of 50% stein and 50 % mineral solvent, usin a cotton ball inside a "Panty"..?? ten times, in 3 film per time. Is this a correct way for pretect my work...?? Thanks for your answer.
José Zaro A stain will sink into the wood changing the colour, but not sit on top of the wood giving it protection (ie, a protective film). Stains don't offer any form of protection or sealing of the wood.
Egads man! Don't you have a workbench to do your gluing on? 93% of us dream of getting one of the Sawstop table saws and you're gluing stuff on it! For shame!
+I Made That! (Driftstone.ca) At the time, no, I didn't. Thats why I used a glossy, thick carboard stock so that moisture didn't seep through. You can see later on I'm sanding on the workbench that was still being built.
+Paul “TheWoodKnight” Jenkins That's funny because I did notice the bench and thought.... he does have a bench! I had to laugh that it was also the assembly instructions for the Sawstop! I any case, great little project!
+I Made That! (Driftstone.ca) If you ever do end up with a sawstop, the instructions are almost better than the tool. Seriously, they're amazing. Apart from a stupidly high detailed manual, everything comes with high gloss, "quick start", colour coded sheets. And I mean everything - even the cast iron wing upgrades. It took about a year of using it as my 'epoxy mixing' surface before I destroyed that cardboard.
They're in containers (in this case plastic, others tea light candles come in tin). The ignition point of wood isn't so low that indirect heat is going to set it on fire.
@@TarannumTasnuvaZ You will be perfectly fine if you follow basic rules. I know this is an old post but it needs to be addressed. Don't ever leave a candle on when you plan on leaving for an extended period of time. If you plan on making one then don't drill deeper than the tealight candles you plan to use. If you plan to make and sell then make sure you warn your customers about not leaving candles on unattended. Good luck
Looks nice. Something that one could easily crank out several for Christmas presents and use up scraps. Thanks for the video!
Great video Paul. Beautifully presented and I love the finish on the holder! The music just compliments the video perfectly too 😀

Nice wood my friend
Great idea! I think I'm going to make one.
It’s like the Pink Panther music for the 70’s
COOL
Good workmanship
Thanks for sharing your video, I do have a question though what was the finish you chose?
Absolutely superb!
Simple and easy enough, I shall have a go.
would you be able to provide your dimensions for this holder looks beautiful I was going to try it with maple and walnut? What was finish you used

nice video did you sand the holder down in between coats of the the mineral oil or whatever you used for the sheen

nice work !
What did he used by 3:46
Oil?
+P Nijkamp shellac.
thanks man
good video.. I'm undecided if I like the music or knot.
Brad Warren not*
ohhh I wanna make it by myself... but how can i get the eqquipments? :-(
nice video, just aout to subscribe.......... where did you get that cool glue roller spreader thingy?

i know it's kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Declan Thaddeus flixportal xD
@Deandre Trey Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it !!
@Declan Thaddeus Happy to help xD
Very nice! What kind of wood did you use?
Two australian natives - Eucalyptus regnans (common name tasmanian oak or victorian ash) and Intsia bijuga (common names are merbau, ipil and kwila. )
How is is the name of the varnish used in the end?
I used UBeaut's Hard Shellac (www.ubeaut.com.au/hardshell.htm), which I have a small amount diluted with denatured alcohol/metholayted spirits in a used jar of I *think* is teriyaki sauce.
It's a nice clear shellac which dries very hard when cured.
What size forstner it did you use for the hole . Thanks
+Dennis Adams no idea any more. Probably 32mm, I just measured the tealight and went a size larger

Is that ham and eggs I hear? Aww yeah baby...
How long did this take (non time lapsed) ? just wondering :) also whats the length of the dark and light wood you used to make it
ⓂⓇ.ⓅⓊⓇⓅⓁⒺ ⓂⒶⓃ Other than waiting for various bits to dry, about half an hour.
Okay, Thanks a lot :)
Nice Job, here in Chile, we just have Orange Mineral Oil....is the same for UBeaut's Hard Shellac..??'
Thanks.

Hello,
Which oil used to shine the wood?

sorry that wasnt me that was my friend
How do you make the candle holder fireproof?
They're in containers (in this case plastic, others tea light candles come in tin). The ignition point of wood isn't so low that indirect heat is going to set it on fire.
what if wax spilled into the wood? And the candle's im using have no containers, do think it's safe?
The wax itself likely won't ignite it either. Don't use candles without containers.
Oh ok thank you

thanks for wasting 4:27 minutes of my life....
Thanks for watching, and letting me know you've watched with two quality comments Joey.
