I had one candle in wood years ago . I thought they had been made illegal. I about burned down my apartment. The whole thing caught fire like a Roman candle. Be careful!!
This candle will not ignite as it is completely covered in "liquid glass". It's a solution of sodium silicate. Which is an excellent flame retardant. And your candle caught fire then because it was not treated with anything, the wood absorbed the hot wax and began to work as a candle wick, that's all. And in my version, the wood will not absorb anything and plus the coating itself is not flammable.
@@michaelpriest6242 ... you should definitely burn candles in wooden candle holders every day, as long as you burn down your own home and not an entire apartment building, you silly soyboy ninny-nanny billy-boob. Hah!
Sharpen your forstner bit and immobilize the wood as your drilling it. A cheap drill press vice would work fine. The reason you're having such difficulty hollowing these out is because the wood is bouncing around. And to all the people who think these are fire hazards... All candles are fire hazards. Wooden candles aren't any more dangerous than a glass candle.
I've already written an explanatory clarification above in the comments. About what I covered the wood with. It is liquid sodium glass. It is a very good fire protection. After treatment with this product, it is very difficult to ignite the wood even with a gas burner
Have you looked up the word retardant? It doesn't stop the process, it delays it. The wood will catch fire eventually, most likely when you're not paying attention to it until you curtains are on fire.

I have a piece of Aspen from my childhood in the 60’s that I saved from my childhood as a sort of bookend but it’s more of a wedge. We don’t have Aspen trees in our state. I think that I will do this but that I can use it to insert a small glass candleholder.

As a child, we frequently visited Branson Mo, Lake of the Ozarks and that territory. I have a cabinet full of walnut bowls. And I cherish each and every one.
The solution used is known as “Water Glass” and is, if used properly, fireproof. I think I might suggest painting down the outside as well but … I’d suggest maybe a sharper Forsner Bit
Yes it is, I paint the whole thing inside and out. After drying, this wood does not burn even under a gas burner! The drill bit is already dull, it's very hard to sharpen them.
Some of these made to burn oil would be great. A small metal wire insert to hold the wick or cloth right above the oil. The bigger the wick like a piece of cloth the brighter the light and omg so much safer with little kids and pets if knocked over.

It's available both ways. Rutland Water Glass is a liquid. I don't know the concentration. You can experiment to see how many coats will work. Sodium silicate is available at pottery supply stores. You can mix your own.
That's what I'm doing!) I find dead wood from oak trees or other species that have already dried up and sell it for 25 bucks on marketplaces on the Internet).

I would like to know exactly what you used for the retardant and I would like to know what kind of wax you used etc. etc. everything looks really cool and I would like to try doing it for some of my local friends but how exactly do I know what to buy?
And used liquid sodium glass for safety and fire protection of the wooden mold. You can look for this in building supply stores, it's an excellent fire retardant. Next, I bought natural soy wax. It is very pleasant to work with. It has a low melting point. Nothing dangerous. Next, I used specialized scented fragrances for candles or soaps. You can query amazon and find similar ones. And there will also be instructions on how to mix it with the wax. I add the fragrance to the hot wax about 3% of the wax volume. I already do this automatically, it came with experience. You can also use a scale for this. You can also order wooden wicks on amazon. They are just cherry veneer. It needs to be soaked in a little olive oil. So it's easy to light. Also for these wicks they sell special stands where you insert this strip of veneer. I use two strips! So the flame will be more stable! In general, I have told you everything I know.

If you weren't so stupid you'd realize that wood is treated with liquid sodium glass. It's a fireproof material. Nothing will catch fire! And secondly, when we send these candles to customers, we include instructions for use and a disclaimer! Because if you're an idiot, you can burn your house down with an ordinary candle or match!
Are you nuts this is how you make a Firestarter. The idea is great but you need something to protect the wood from burning. This will start a house fire.
I showed in the video that I covered the candlestick with liquid glass. This is an excellent fire-resistant coating. You won’t even be able to light wood that has been treated with it with a torch.
I am sorry. maybe I didn't explain it well. Here is a clipping from Wikipedia. Liquid sodium glass is an aqueous solution of sodium silicate, an air binder, made by firing a mixture consisting of quartz sand and soda. The resulting glass, after crushing, is dissolved in water. Sodium glass is a thick liquid of yellow or gray color without mechanical impurities and inclusions visible to the naked eye. It is a good fire-resistant material.
I use what I find already dead in the woods since I'm legally allowed to take it. Mostly oak. For the video, I made an example in a willow tree that I cut on my property.
Yes I use sodium silicate to treat the inside and sometimes the outside of wooden candle holders. I have done a test after the sodium silicate has dried completely, the wood cannot be set on fire even with a gas torch.
You can certainly use a water-based varnish. But, for example, there are slight problems with oak. Sodium silicate stains oak very strongly. Perhaps it reacts with tannins and tannin. And if you coat the inside of the candle and the edges with sodium silicate and the rest with water-based varnish, you will have a different shade of wood. So I try to use one or the other. But I haven't noticed this problem with other woods. But there is another limitation of sodium silicate. It loses its properties very quickly in the sun. If you put a candle in the sun, the sodium silicate will start to peel off like flakes from the wood in just a couple of weeks. But the varnish is still dangerous. For it will not withstand overheating and just bloat, and then the wax will be absorbed into the wood and then the wood will catch fire.
The cost of manufacturing one costs 1 dollar. this comes with work and all the effort. with electricity bills. and we sell them for 25 bucks. read it here)
Where did you see the fungus? If what you see on the bark is just lichen. Go look it up. Also, after liquid glass, it's unlikely that anything can live there.
And that is what is wrong with the world. I literally lit something on fire, it burned and I put it next to something I didn't want burned ...not my fault someone must owe me money.
At a minimum, we sign a disclaimer when selling this product. You can burn your house down with a cigarette or a match. And this candle is coated with flame retardant impregnation. It can't even be lit with a gas burner.
Well, if you watched the video not with your eyes but with your ass, then yes, it’s dangerous for you. and if you looked with your eyes, you could see that I treated the wood with a completely fire-resistant coating!
Why waste our time showing us cutting all those bits of log up? One piece is quite sufficient for us to get the message. Oh, just one more thing. In the interests of H&S, get your hands out of the way of the blade while it's running. I winced every time you put your hand by the blade, expecting to see 2 fingers join the sections of log. 😢
You either think you have poor perspective or have never worked on a machine tool. If you are afraid of the machine, you will get hurt faster. I know how to handle it. Thank you for worrying about me, it's my pleasure.
nothing would happen, since to the left of the drilling machine the tail of the clamp rests against the cabinet. therefore it is rested and in fact fixed
Do your same process, but use cheap tea candles. You’d only have to drill a half inch deep and the fire/candle is contained within a metal cup. It would eliminate 80% of the time per candle and 100% of the negative comments.
I don't care about the negative comments. Why would I use bad candles? Do you know the composition of tea candles? It's disgusting paraffin wax. My candles are organic soy wax. Good premium fragrance oils. This is not a cheap product. It's all about the good stuff. Not cheap crap like tealight candles.
If you make a million in this business you will spend it all on liability insurance. You hand that to someone and they take it home and burn their house down guess who they are going to come looking for. Over the years I have seen quite a few really good ideas like this one that can no long be sold because of the liability issues.
There is such a thing in business, especially in commodities and with goods that have an immediate danger as a “disclaimer”. Google it When a person buys this product, he reads the instructions, and if something happens to him, he is an idiot. Because you can burn down your house with a match. And by the way, these candlesticks don't burn! Because they're coated with a fireproof coating.
Millions you say . Yeah! If enough people buy them and burn their homes down, you're going to owe them Millions after the judge gets through with you. 😅
I doubt it. It does not look like your business is worth millions so it is doubtful that when you get sued that anyone will make millions off the lawsuit. Making a candle container with material that is flammable is probably not the smartest move.
It is wise to watch the video with your eyes and notice that I am treating the wood with liquid glass. It's the best fire retardant coating. You will not be able to set fire to this wood even with a gas burner. So before you make any stupid conclusions, study the topic.

No. 100,000 is enough.
I have no idea what you did. Is it a candle or fire starter? maybe say something during the video?
I don't speak good English. But yes, it's a scented candle.
0:30 : I hope you have some spare fingers somewhere.
I’m ok
Thanks
OSHA does not approve this message 😂. Bro, you only live once, but you only get ten fingers, don't you want to keep them?
What exactly did you see as the problem?
If you value your time it is likely costing you more than 10 dollars per unit to make.
The cost of manufacturing one costs 1 dollar. this comes with work and all the effort. with electricity bills. and we sell them for 25 bucks. read it here)
Making millions 50¢ at a time. No thanks
We sell each item from 25 bucks minimum.
@@diy_wood Thats impressive that there are buyers who will pay that.
That bit is shot
What?
Fire hazard !!
Watch the video with your eyes and try googling what liquid sodium glass is, it's what I coat wood with to prevent fire.
Blade guard is too high as creates a reach over danger.
You're certainly right. But I'm as careful as possible with the saw, because I've been injured before and now I know how painful it is.
What are they? Candles? Don't get it
Yeah, they're scented candles in wood. Beautiful candle holder made of natural material
Good way to set your house on fire. Cool art though. Be careful
No wood is coated with fire retardant material. Liquid sodium glass. Google it.
I'm too distracted thinking you are going to lose a finger the way you teach in like that.
No, it's under control. Don't worry about me
There are millions to be Made by people who rebuild homes after they burned down by one of these candles 😂😂
no one is going to get burned by this candle, watch the video carefully. And see what liquid glass is, I used it to treat the d
What ia ir?
Everything is fine)
Wera gloves and a mask. That fungus will grow on you and in you!
Where did you see the fungus? If what you see on the bark is just lichen. Go look it up. Also, after liquid glass, it's unlikely that anything can live there.
What the hell are they 🤔
well, someone has to do the work
Is this a comedy channel?
just a little bit
I reckon a fair amount of that million will be spend on lawyers defending you in fire hazard cases my friend 😂🤣
And that is what is wrong with the world. I literally lit something on fire, it burned and I put it next to something I didn't want burned ...not my fault someone must owe me money.
you're wrong.
At a minimum, we sign a disclaimer when selling this product. You can burn your house down with a cigarette or a match. And this candle is coated with flame retardant impregnation. It can't even be lit with a gas burner.
😬
)
Crazy idea too many dangers for stupid people to kill themselves and sue the hell out of you.
Well, if you watched the video not with your eyes but with your ass, then yes, it’s dangerous for you. and if you looked with your eyes, you could see that I treated the wood with a completely fire-resistant coating!
Why waste our time showing us cutting all those bits of log up?
One piece is quite sufficient for us to get the message.
Oh, just one more thing.
In the interests of H&S, get your hands out of the way of the blade while it's running.
I winced every time you put your hand by the blade, expecting to see 2 fingers join the sections of log. 😢
You either think you have poor perspective or have never worked on a machine tool. If you are afraid of the machine, you will get hurt faster. I know how to handle it. Thank you for worrying about me, it's my pleasure.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
🎈❤️
This is a joke right? Candle holders made of wood?😅
YES, they are beautiful and unusual. And they are also coated with a fireproof coating. After it, the wood does not burn even under a gas burner
I will never take advice from someone who reaches around a moving band saw blade
and I never comment on other people's videos.
Millions to be made! I tells ya! MILLIONS!
Yah bro!
Try sharpening your tools.
thank you
That’s a lot if work very nice! How much?
25 bucks apiece.
Millions of what?
$$$$
😂
Was waiting for drill to bite into log and swing the clamp .
..that would've been entertaining
nothing would happen, since to the left of the drilling machine the tail of the clamp rests against the cabinet. therefore it is rested and in fact fixed
😨
Uh,NO
Why not?
Fuel and Flame in a combustible container. What could go wrong?
When you get new brains post here.
Google liquid sodium glass.
It's a fire hazard. Gilligan
You're stupid. Watch the video again
millions of what
$$$$
Do your same process, but use cheap tea candles. You’d only have to drill a half inch deep and the fire/candle is contained within a metal cup.
It would eliminate 80% of the time per candle and 100% of the negative comments.
You could vary the heights of the candle “holders” this way as well.
I don't care about the negative comments. Why would I use bad candles? Do you know the composition of tea candles? It's disgusting paraffin wax. My candles are organic soy wax. Good premium fragrance oils.
This is not a cheap product. It's all about the good stuff. Not cheap crap like tealight candles.
There are millions to be made off this....millions of what ? Dollars or pennies ?
Bucks, of course.
Putting your arm across a running cutter !!!!.
No!!!!
If you make a million in this business you will spend it all on liability insurance. You hand that to someone and they take it home and burn their house down guess who they are going to come looking for. Over the years I have seen quite a few really good ideas like this one that can no long be sold because of the liability issues.
There is such a thing in business, especially in commodities and with goods that have an immediate danger as a “disclaimer”. Google it
When a person buys this product, he reads the instructions, and if something happens to him, he is an idiot.
Because you can burn down your house with a match.
And by the way, these candlesticks don't burn! Because they're coated with a fireproof coating.
the smell and toxins of burning acrylic . re-title this video "how to be sued into poverty with stupid crafts".
don't be an idiot. This is not varnish, but liquid glass, which is actually a fireproof material. don't be an idiot and embarrass yourself
@@diy_wood Ok bozo, make yourself rich by selling wooden butttt-plugs with a candle in it.
Methuselah made these and retired a rich man at age 865
I'm selling them for 25 bucks. Do the math.
@diy_wood In order to do the math I will need to know how long it takes to make one and what your expenses are.
You can't see half of what his doing
Yeah 😀
Millions you say . Yeah! If enough people buy them and burn their homes down, you're going to owe them Millions after the judge gets through with you. 😅
How stupid are you, go google what liquid sodium glass is and how it protects wood from fire. That's what I used on the wood
8.31 mins of wasted time from mr Bumblefoot. The safety board should have a word to him about safe working conditions.
no one forced you to watch, they invented rewind video for people like you....
I doubt it. It does not look like your business is worth millions so it is doubtful that when you get sued that anyone will make millions off the lawsuit. Making a candle container with material that is flammable is probably not the smartest move.
It is wise to watch the video with your eyes and notice that I am treating the wood with liquid glass. It's the best fire retardant coating. You will not be able to set fire to this wood even with a gas burner. So before you make any stupid conclusions, study the topic.
@@diy_wood Thanks for the reply couldn't read the bottle.
You will not survive your first legal battle
From who? From being a stupid idiot who doesn't know how to use a candle? Or from you who doesn't understand what a flame retardant coating is?
Bullshit
you just don't understand anything about it
That's what you have to say???
Millions...Oh ya...Make millions basket weaving too. Waste of time
If you don't know how to do it, don't do it.
My farts smell like roses 🌹
Well, smell your own fart
Millions? If you expect to sell a million dollar idea you may or even SHOULD have much better equipment.
What makes you think that? What did you sell or make?
@@diy_wood your equipment is not that of a million dollar product.
I used to build custom cabinetry. And I had top of the line equipment.
