A tip... it would help if you made "English overlays or captions" of the name of the product/s you use since, for example, many of us have no clue what that bottle said @ 4:07 I can only assume it was a clear epoxy. You don't even explain what you're doing you just assume people will know... maybe the experienced people will and maybe that is who this is intended for.... shrug. Good luck making them millions!
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.
For those who do not understand the fire retardant product, he is applying Sodium Metasilicate or Na2SiO3. Its common name is Sodium Silicate or Waterglass. It is primarily used in the wastewater industry, or as a corrugate glue among other applications. We used it 30 years ago in the foundries as a coating on small ladles, but changed as better products were available. It has excellent heat resistance, so is a good choice for this application. For the risk adverse among the viewers, simply use an LED candle to avoid a fire hazard.
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.
Its amazing how many back seat drivers (key board warriors)are making comments without understanding the full extent of how’s he’s manufacturing these candle holders, he’s 1st lining the interior and rim of the wood candle holders with liquid sodium glass to prevent and spreading of the flames!
Thank you friend! So far, you're the only one who's figured out this simple technique. The rest of us are probably either watching the video or just don't even understand what liquid glass is.

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.

Why if the wood is coated with sodium silicate or ‘liquid glass’ before waxing? This coating protects the wood from fire. You will never be able to set fire to wood impregnated with this compound, even with a torch. It's just a small candle flame. And the melted wax won't soak into the wood and become a big wick for the same reason. The wood is impregnated with Sodium Silicate!
I think this is a cool idea, but I wouldn't market them for home use... you'd get the same push back you're getting here. They would be awesome for camp candles, however... especially if you incorporated some insect controlling chemicals.
Hi! This is cherry veneer that I soak in olive oil. Why do I use cherry veneer? Because it crackles very nicely when the candle burns. It's like having a little fireplace.
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.
I will never understand how anyone thinks they can convey a task or method even at the most basic level in the way it needs to be in order for someone, anyone to have a complete understanding of something when no communication is used. Language is the key to understanding things . Did anyone ever learn anything to a level of competence without communication. Seriously if youre going to make videos and you want to teach others remember this simple fact - you know what youre doing and why just as with what youre doing it with nobody else does so do yourself and others the favor of using instructions and communicate specifically whats going on.
thank you very much for the clarification. BUT I am not only watched by English speaking audience and my English is not very good. So it's easier not to speak at all. But thank you. I will make more informative videos. Thank you
I decided to do this as it is beautiful and authentic. But it won't catch fire because it's impregnated with sodium silicate. It's an excellent fire retardant.
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).
It appears that your forstner bit is bad dull. I'd try sharpen it if it were me. But I would also buy one if it's going to be to difficult to resharpen said bit.
I've already got a big “graveyard” of those drills. They're very hard to sharpen. And in this case, the wood is also raw and very soft and fibrous. So it's hard to drill
A little narration would be nice. Not to mention helpful. Video needs more post production work too…time lapse, edits, etc. But appreciate the video, thanks for sharing.
Nope. Safety issues with how you moved the pieces away from the sawblade. Dull bit not securely attached. I know the wood was coated with a fire retardant product but it is still a flame next to wood. In my opinion, much better and simpler to put a clear votive candle holder in the hole and use voltive candles. Just my opinion
To all the morons making negative comments, I literally work in a gift shop in Montana. We sell items exactly like these, and other candles made of wood. Never once did I think of people thinking they were not safe until I watched this. They apparently are safe or we wouldn't be selling them.
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. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
yeah that is a major fire hazard and with the number 1 cause of fires in the home being candles probably not a great Idea. What you should do is find a small glass insert
Water Glass is also called Sodium Silicate. It can be toxic to skin, eyes or breathing because of it's extreme alkalinity. It is resistant to high heat and is an ingredient in refractory products (firebrick, furnace cement etc.). It is used in fireproofing coatings.
I buy a ready-made solution. it's very cheap. For example www.amazon.com/Sodium-Silicate-Liquid-8-OZ/dp/B073S44BPH/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=1KWNZHA2FB5M1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Y6QqCaVTAg4sqWEyR39FuzSx_9OatMJ8Vexv2hG7ZwGkiMvykPa3rZ0vC1e4-zeEo8YtDnkS7Dk0OMvvtWHpA7w7r26-kr8ZsZxv76lkbyQ.5Ni_5q1F33-YvMikalGh-Z0Xpy869HGFz3GVw7b1hX4&dib_tag=se&keywords=sodium+silicate+powder&qid=1714235975&sprefix=sodium+silicate%2Caps%2C201&sr=8-6
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.
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.

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!
I'm a tad worried about the machines he uses, they all appear to be blunt and incredibly dangerous, with the band saw blade about to shatter any second.
@@diy_wood the beans were settled at bottom. In a 4in glass with wax (doesn't matter which) as soon as the coffee beans got lit they went psycho. I'm in a triplex almost burnt down room being normal!
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.
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.
I knew some people that had a cat they called Crazy Cat and they opened the wood heater to put in wood and the cat jumped into the hot coals so the just shut the door on Crazy Cat.
For everyone that's worried about starting a fire, sell them in camp stores for that purpose. For the a maker, I question the marketability of this product because your drill bit is as dull as the stick you drilled which shows you haven't even made enough for a new bit. Either that or you have an extremely poor drilling technique. I kept expecting them to burst into flames while drilling.
@@diy_wood REALLY I was a sales mgr for a fortune 500 company you're dead wrong!! You don't even seem to be able to understand the concept of supply and demand which applies here! Then be my guest make all the stuff you want let it pile up and collect dust happens all the time.

I'm amazed by that some people have to buy it if it is unusual. Hope you do well sounds like you have. @@diy_wood
Hello, what is the one you use instead of the wick in the middle of the candles?
Hi!
This is cherry veneer that I soak in olive oil. Why do I use cherry veneer? Because it crackles very nicely when the candle burns. It's like having a little fireplace.
I might rig myself a "stop" fence to simplify cutting and consistency
Sounds good.
Do you use sodium silicate and sodium lactate both to make these wood candles? I want to make a safe one ? Thank you again!
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.
@@diy_wood thank you for the info!!
@diy_wood can the outside of the wood including bark, be applied with a wood sealer? I think water based sealers like spar urethane are non flammable.
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.
I will never understand how anyone thinks they can convey a task or method even at the most basic level in the way it needs to be in order for someone, anyone to have a complete understanding of something when no communication is used. Language is the key to understanding things . Did anyone ever learn anything to a level of competence without communication. Seriously if youre going to make videos and you want to teach others remember this simple fact - you know what youre doing and why just as with what youre doing it with nobody else does so do yourself and others the favor of using instructions and communicate specifically whats going on.
thank you very much for the clarification. BUT
I am not only watched by English speaking audience and my English is not very good. So it's easier not to speak at all. But thank you. I will make more informative videos. Thank you
Thank you for the ideas....what kind of oil to you soak the wood wick in?
Thank you for your comment
In regular olive oil.
So you decided to make the outer part of a candle from flammable material?
I decided to do this as it is beautiful and authentic. But it won't catch fire because it's impregnated with sodium silicate. It's an excellent fire retardant.
These are wonderfull sellers at craft shows...5 bucks apiece! Wood is in the nearby woods. Old dry wood the best.
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).
It appears that your forstner bit is bad dull. I'd try sharpen it if it were me. But I would also buy one if it's going to be to difficult to resharpen said bit.
I've already got a big “graveyard” of those drills. They're very hard to sharpen. And in this case, the wood is also raw and very soft and fibrous. So it's hard to drill
I like it but would be helpful to put what your making in title . Also not sure what you’re mixing . But I love the concept
thank you. if you like it so much then please share my video with your friends on social networks. thank you
@@diy_woodI do but please say what you’re using . Like is that regular candle wax or soy ? What are the wood pices called for wick
A little narration would be nice. Not to mention helpful. Video needs more post production work too…time lapse, edits, etc. But appreciate the video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comments. Speaking is unfortunately difficult for me. My English is very bad
Amazing work, brother! May The Force be with you!
May the force be with you brother jidai!
Nope. Safety issues with how you moved the pieces away from the sawblade. Dull bit not securely attached. I know the wood was coated with a fire retardant product but it is still a flame next to wood. In my opinion, much better and simpler to put a clear votive candle holder in the hole and use voltive candles. Just my opinion
Thank you for your opinion.
To all the morons making negative comments, I literally work in a gift shop in Montana. We sell items exactly like these, and other candles made of wood. Never once did I think of people thinking they were not safe until I watched this. They apparently are safe or we wouldn't be selling them.
Especially since I treat the wood in my candles with flame retardant impregnation!) Thanks for your comment
Very good idea, thanks.
Thank you brother
I also USED to make these. I made my millions and franchised.😊
You're handsome! Well done
Did you have to dry the wood out? I live in Florida and I have a ton of branches after Milton
I have a lot of stock from previous years)
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.

Rutland Water Glass is one such product available in my area. There are others. Pottery supply stores also have sodium silicate.
Looking good
Thank you brother
Please share my video with your friends
Millions... yeah dream on 😊
I love dreaming.
Very clever
thank you. if you like it so much then please share my video with your friends on social networks. thank you
so beautiful. I want to make some now.
Easy and fast!) You're welcome
Need some description of what all the steps and products are. Flashing a bottle of (?) for a ¼of a second is useless
In the following videos, I've done captions.
But there's sodium silicate in the bottle
yeah that is a major fire hazard and with the number 1 cause of fires in the home being candles probably not a great Idea. What you should do is find a small glass insert
any candles are a fire hazard! And these candle bodies are treated with fire retardant impregnation!
@@diy_wood cool
Good idea
Nice but not good to heat up the bit like that. Wears down faster. Something i heard on another video
If you blew the chips out with air pressure you would drill faster and save your bits
Thanks a lot for the advice mate
What are those cool looking wooden thingys?
these are candles)
Thank you nice work.
❤️👍
Water Glass is also called Sodium Silicate. It can be toxic to skin, eyes or breathing because of it's extreme alkalinity. It is resistant to high heat and is an ingredient in refractory products (firebrick, furnace cement etc.). It is used in fireproofing coatings.
He's safe. Don't be misled
, Mr calman, yer might be practical, but yer misled.
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.
@diy_wood do you make liquid glass or can one buy it already made? I love your ideas here, kinda brilliant really!
I buy a ready-made solution. it's very cheap. For example www.amazon.com/Sodium-Silicate-Liquid-8-OZ/dp/B073S44BPH/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=1KWNZHA2FB5M1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Y6QqCaVTAg4sqWEyR39FuzSx_9OatMJ8Vexv2hG7ZwGkiMvykPa3rZ0vC1e4-zeEo8YtDnkS7Dk0OMvvtWHpA7w7r26-kr8ZsZxv76lkbyQ.5Ni_5q1F33-YvMikalGh-Z0Xpy869HGFz3GVw7b1hX4&dib_tag=se&keywords=sodium+silicate+powder&qid=1714235975&sprefix=sodium+silicate%2Caps%2C201&sr=8-6
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.
Less force on the drill press when you see smoke coming out the drop hole time 2 back off but otherwise nice idea indeed,
Thanks for the advice, buddy.
What is the best type of wood to use?
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.
If your business takes off, you should learn how to properly use a forstner bit. Looked like you were just burning the middle of the wood out.
And you try drilling the wood along the fiber. The softer, more fibrous wood. You'll be surprised when even a new drill bit won't drill.
I am referring to the speed.
Candle made of wood? Great idea for an arsonist! 🔥
If you watch the video with your eyes, you can see that I am treating the wood with sodium silicate. This is an excellent fire-retardant impregnation.
We'll all know who to blame if there's a fire in your neighbourhood
Beautiful
Thanks 🙏
What was that liquid he painted on it ?
It's sodium silicate, a flame retardant coating
Hey you should never put your thumb that close to the band saw. It is amazing you still have your thumb. DA
Never give stupid advice like that.
I don't . . . it's a prosthetic thumb!
Well he still has, what about yourself

Well, they're your relatives, too.
And your drill motor, lasted how long.😮😊
No
It’s ok
Reminds me of a Talking Heads song "Burning Down The House"
You're wrong, read what liquid sodium glass is.
How many times has your house burnt down
yeah millions, just make 2 million of them
Why not?)
@@diy_wood How many can you make in 1 hour, day, week, month, year? Sure, make them if that's enjoyable for you but 1 million will take 1 person more than a lifetime...and that's the point.
@@steveshooter9010 He said millions to be made. He didn't say he was making millions. If 10,000 folk are making them then millions can be made
@@steveshooter9010you are obvoiusly a bit slow or couldn't understand ,he said millions to be made ,which he didn't mean literally, but the potential to made a profitable hobby, you probably haven't got the ability to cut the wood in pieces to start off ,so don't try this hobby,it's not for you ,try collecting soda cans and bottles in the bins to get your 10cents each that's your way to become a million aire best of luck Stevey, one can at a time
I hope you do make millions. You will need it to cover all the lawsuits from burning down people's homes.
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!
@@diy_woodamazing response it kinda makes me want to buy your candles love it
)
I'm a tad worried about the machines he uses, they all appear to be blunt and incredibly dangerous, with the band saw blade about to shatter any second.
thank you) don't worry about me
I had a candle with coffee beans it went crazy
What do you mean? Explain it to me.
@@diy_wood the beans were settled at bottom. In a 4in glass with wax (doesn't matter which) as soon as the coffee beans got lit they went psycho. I'm in a triplex almost burnt down room being normal!
@@MrMadartistI'd think you'd best sticking to using torches with 🔋, less chance of burning down your residence
I'd think you'd be dangerous sticking a match without parental supervision inyou abode
@@JohnT-wj5ru I turned my back and it looked like a Roman candle.
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.
Sorry guess I missed that part I do like your work and idea
@@diy_wood What in the world is “liquid glass”? I see the Russian words there but I still have no idea what that product is.
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.
Thank you very much for explaining. This is very helpful.
Nah, that drill press operation doesn't look dangerous at all🤣
No)
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.
Hi from hull UK
Hello my friend!))
All state of the art equipment
Well, I wouldn't have it any other way
Even a dummy like me could do that thanks😮
🙏😅👌🏻
No way I would burn that candle inside even if shellacked with fire retardant coating. Crazy
This is liquid sodium glass. excellent fire resistant coating
We had a cat almost caught fire stepping over a candle !!
I knew some people that had a cat they called Crazy Cat and they opened the wood heater to put in wood and the cat jumped into the hot coals so the just shut the door on Crazy Cat.
@garyalford9394 was that your birthday candles on the cake or what garrie
For everyone that's worried about starting a fire, sell them in camp stores for that purpose.
For the a maker, I question the marketability of this product because your drill bit is as dull as the stick you drilled which shows you haven't even made enough for a new bit. Either that or you have an extremely poor drilling technique. I kept expecting them to burst into flames while drilling.
I don't.
it's okay.
You don't sound you have the capability to make these simple candles, just an armchair critique, all advise and no action
Don't quit your day job

YOU CAN MAKE ALL THE STUFF YOU WANT BUT SOMEONE HAS TO BUY IT TO MAKE A PROFIT OTHERWISE IT'S JUST EXPENSIVE INVENTORY. DON'T BE FOOLED!!
you're wrong
@@diy_wood REALLY I was a sales mgr for a fortune 500 company you're dead wrong!! You don't even seem to be able to understand the concept of supply and demand which applies here! Then be my guest make all the stuff you want let it pile up and collect dust happens all the time.
If you make 250 units per week and net $15.00 each you can net $1,000,000.oo in about 6 years
......
What if you hire helpers and do 5k units a week? Do the math.
I can see your all full of maths but won't ever make one candle, all theory but you'll never be hands on to make it anything happen ,duh
You sound ĺike a boring accountant lacking creativity in anything
Does anyone know what they used in this video to coat the inside of the wood?
I've responded many times in the comments. It is liquid glass, or otherwise it is sodium silicate. It is a very good fire retardant.
@diy_wood I apologize. I usually put shorts on at work when I'm not in the mood to listen to music. I spend 90% of my day driving, so I can't really read the comments thoroughly. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know!
Ps. For people like me & to save you some frustration of answering repeated questions, maybe you could add the text on the video at the bottom? Please don't be offended!
a bit of explanation would be handy along the way.
I agree. I am testing some videos with voiceover and explanation.
