At first I was like, hellyeah I'd buy a smooth turned tree branch.
That would save a lot of work.😜
Same
😂 me too. Shows my inner animal. The lazy lion.
@@SuchtFaktorHoch10 My only response is, sit back, relax, and enjoy as many of my videos as you can.😁
😂
This reminds me of that time when I never did anything like this.
I know what you mean. That happened to me about 3 years ago.
Thanks for watching!
Just go get an inexpensive wood lathe. You’ll be surprised at what you can do with it.
And still do.
I made a piece of wood and gave it as a Mother’s day gift. I of course rounded one end.
Just stay consistent.
Ok this looks like so much fun, I’m mesmerized
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!
Very cool. Kind of mesmerizing to watch.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I was expecting, and thought they would look good with the burn lines at the top of the candle holder.
That would be a great way to go too. I do them both ways.
Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Greetings from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you! Enjoy the warm weather. I'm a few hours south of you.
Hey Rus, good to see more from you, missed your videos. Nice candle holders, quick and easy... Dan
Hey, thanks Dan!
May I suggest You undercut the candle holders when you use the parting tool rather than making a flat surface. That way the item will stand on an outer rim and not wobble on the slightest bump in the surface you put them on.
👍
Thank you. I’ve been looking forward to another video from you. This is great.
Thank you! It takes a lot of work to make a video and I've been experiencing some burn out, but trying to get back in it.
Fast forward to the end to see the coolest toothpick ever imagined.
👍
I love wood 🪵 😁
Me too! Thanks for watching!
🤭
That's beautiful!
Thank you!
Nice!
Thank you!
This gives me an idea to do something similar, but instead of candle holders make salt and pepper shakers and a sugar dish.
That sounds like a great idea. I'm going to do salt & pepper shakers also. I have an interesting idea for them.
Thanks for watching!
You make this look so easy ive had to come back to it , was trying this this aft i made a right tatey hash of it , maybe next time i will get there ,my chisels weren't sharp enough so work on that ,make sure i dont turn it down too slim so the T light hole is too close to the edge of the wood , get the measurements right ! and have a quality forstner bit ,and a good quality drill bit to kick the hole off b4 the forstner bit ,right got it ,will try again lol , im fine welding overhead and doing pipelines but this new hobby is gonna take me time lol .
Thanks for showing us again lol .
Hey why did you change your lathe ? does it have a bigger chuck and more powerful motor ? i noticed it a white or cream one in your recent videos .
Keep trying! You'll get there! It's like anything else you have to practice. Just keep in mind the mistakes you make so you can avoid them next time. Pretty soon you'll run out of mistakes to make. I switched to the other lathe because it's quieter and smaller. I didn't need that big of one. Thanks for watching!
@@RcWoodturning Thanks for the encouragement will do when i get it right ,i might do it on my channel but give credit to yo lol .
Genius!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
Nice job. I suggest you invest in a quality set of Forstner bits. The one you used didn't look very sharp.
Thanks!Yes definitely time to sharpen.
ive never used sculpting knives on a rotating piece of wood before but my first question is how often do they bite in the wood and smash your fingers on that steel rack? 😂
Never if your doing it right.
@@RcWoodturning i guess the tools have to be real sharp and you need a steady hand i'm sure its a lot harder than you make it look ive worked with wood in construction for 15+ years now but have never tried my hand at sculpting .
@@raccoonpeddler6730 Ya, there's a lot that goes into it. But it's very learnable if you have interest in it.
Just like anything. Practice makes almost perfect...because nobody's perfect.
I am trying to learn to use a lathe but its terrifying, especially without having someone there that has first hand experience to guide me. Any tips?
@@mikehunt8170 watch videos to see how people are doing it. One of the biggest fears is the wood coming off the lathe. If you drill a hole on each end so the drive center and live center are embedded into the wood it's a lot harder for the wood to come off the lathe. I would drill the holes about 1/2 inch deep. Don't spin the lathe to fast and just practice. The more you do it the more comfortable you will get. Stand to the side of the lathe when you start it so if the wood comes off you won't get hit.
You are welcome
👍
Thats great....you should get 5 buck for them..😮
@@elcrypto3623 25 bucks a set
Really cool!
Question for you. Could this have been done before power tools?
Thank you!
Yes it was called a treadle lathe. It was foot powered.
they built pyramids before they had power tools...
@@RcWoodturning I think you can turn up the RPMs on that lathe a notch or two. Seems a bit slow for finishing cuts.
Thought he was making egg cups lol
Surprise!
If I may ask. How much would you sell the set for?
@@griner65 At the craft show they were $25.00 for the set. This is a basic design. Be creative with the design and you could get more.
How much do you sell these for??? And what type of venue, big city, rural, etc?
I sell this set for 25.00. Mostly rural settings.
Thought dude was making a wooden lightsaber
Then he broke it!
It looks pretty together to me. Sanber's a fad. Tea lights are forever.
I have a video idea for you. Make a Mexican molinillo.
I don't know what that is.
@@RcWoodturning it’s a special wooden whisk used to make a traditional Mexican chocolate drink. If you do a search you should be able to find pictures.
When I tried all that came up was Mexican vanilla. I'll see if I can find it. Thanks.
@@RcWoodturning hmm try searching just by molinillo and don’t let it auto correct.
I found them. I may have to practice up on my carving.
What do you sell them for.
@@timothysmith1222 25.00 for the set.
What disk sanding attachment is that?
It's these one's
amzn.to/44xFAnW
@@RcWoodturning that link goes to 2" sanding pads, not the larger one on your lathe.
🇺🇸👍
👍
Wooden candle holder??
You guessed it!
Which website do you sell them on?
I only sell them in person at craft shows.
Curious as to the profit per hour.
?
On this project I sell for 25.00 and I can do 4 per hour.
@@RcWoodturning thanks for the response!
Nice profit too!
I'm not sure pine trees with all there resien and fire are a good combination
These are made with cherry.
"Tree branches are free"
I guess the owner of the tree might disagree with you there.
@@herrhartmann3036 come on! You gotta be smarter than that?
The lathe, man…the lathe…
Around and around she goes.
That kebabs spining fast
👍
How is this even allowed?
Are you referring to wood tea light holders too.
@@RcWoodturning 🤣🤣🤣
@papabird4425 😜
What's with this trend of calling everything a "project" ?
Dude if you made it it's no project.
What should we call it?
Fire hazard.
You have to responsible with candles
@@RcWoodturning
Yep.
Move your tool rest closer to the work piece. You are going to hurt yourself.
Thanks for the critique. Did you like the project?
Wood to put fire in....
👍
My grandad ran a lathe for Westinghouse for years. Back in those days I guess they let their workers buy old equipment, so when the company upgraded to a newer model, Pap bought the lathe he used on the factory floor and brought it home, right next to Grandma's washing machine in the cellar. One of the few clear memories I have of him as a little boy before he died is of him turning wood on that lathe. Seeing a lathe always reminds me of my grandparents' cellar; thanks for taking me back :)
That's a great story! Glad I was able help you with that memory. My grandad was a woodworker and I used to hang out with him in his shop. I miss those day's.
Have a great day and thanks for watching.
Great memories! Not the same story, but reminds me of my grandpa working at his jewelers bench in the basement. Making all kinds of beautiful things the greatest generation no doubt! if only I could be half the man... Driving landing crafts on D Day to crafting diamond rings he did it all. RIP to Grandpas everywhere😢
Grandfathers that did cool things like this we'll never forget. It leaves a lasting mark on us that we'll keep for a lifetime. Your comment reminded me of my pop, who was an absolute hero to me. As a kid, I thought he was superman. He could cut the tree down, saw it up, and make all kinds of things out of it. If the saws and tools broke, he could fix them too. Good stuff here! Thanks boys
My dumbass thought you were making a pepper-mill , then I thought it was cups. I was not expecting candle holders 😂
I'm glad I could keep you in suspense! Thanks for watching!
No worries, I thought the same thing about the pepper mill 😅
U all must skim thru with the skip 10 sec button cuz he def put pics up of what was to come 😂
Spoiler alert
Saved me from watching. Thank you!
That spinning sanding rope technique to burnish looks awesome
@@wapartist Thank you!
It's a piece of bailing wire. The friction from spinning creates the heat and leaves the burn lines.
Thanks for watching!
Another one of these "why didn't I think of that" moments. Excellent 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm personally just happy to see somebody making literally anything other than a bowl on a lathe
@@perochialjoe Ya, I don't do very many bowls. I get bored by it.
The thumbnail of this in my feed looked like schwarma or gyro meat. Which of course would consistently sell.
That sound delicious. But this has to much fiber.
@@RcWoodturning silly low fat options.
very nice and a great idea. Really enjoyed seeing a random tree branch turned into something useful and beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Tree: 🗿
I mean that tree branch was also useful once, it did help us breath...
I'm always fascinated by wood working but dont have a set space for stuff like this. Really cool stuff, glad i stumbled on this.
Thank you!
I appreciate you watching!
Try to find a Makers space or community workshop to use.
A friend of mine made the same idea only out of old cedar fence post cut off but when the candle burned down the aluminum cup got so hot the post started burning lucky we were watching!
The cedar fence post was probably pretty dry. After I drill the hole I put a dip in the center with my gouge. That way the tin cup isn't touching the wood.
A dip of what? Nice video by the way. Always wanted to buy one of these@@RcWoodturning
A thought to any safety conscious crafter: Boric Acid can possibly be infused into the top of one of these and may help prevent an unattended disaster. Anyone tried using Boric Acid treatments for reducing flammability. We used to treat cloth that way for theater productions. It satisfies the Fire department we had to get inspections with. They actually tested our sets and materials before we could admit any audiences to our shows.
@@CrackedCandyI use the gouge to remove some wood from the center. It makes it concave. That puts air space between the wood and tin from the tea light.
Beautiful work. Another, simple fix - LED candles!
He used a gum block on the sanding disc. I remember how I never had to buy those because it was cheaper to buy old gum soled shoes at the second hand stores. Haven't seen a pair in many years.
I can't find those shoes either. But this was only like 5 bucks.
Thanks for watching!
@@RcWoodturning what's the reason for using a gum block? I've never seen this before.
@@FunkySpunkyJunkyit cleans the sawdust off the sand paper to make it fresh again.
I worked at a restaurant and had gum shoes - - thing is the bleach from cleaning the kitchen dissolves the gum soles of the shoes !!
Genius idea. If you have the skills to do this, taking advantage of all the fallen wood seems so logical
Thank you!
Appreciate you watching!
Doing stuff like this is so fulfilling to me. I probably made nothing useful. But im so happy doing it.
Sometimes I just start turning with no idea what I'm gonna make. Some of my best ideas come that way.
Yeah this reminds me of the time I spent thousands of dollars on a cnc lathe
That's a lot of money.
In just 83 years of work you will break even.
@@vahjayjayaddict Sounds like a math problem.
@@RcWoodturning lol. I have had many cash generating hobbies. The problem is I have to spend so much on equipment & R&D to make that finished product i will likely never break even. I have now adopted the strategy that my hobbies are an expense not an endeavor.
@@vahjayjayaddict Not sure what kind of hobbies you have. I have 2 lathes and more equipment then I'll ever use and I broke even a long time ago.
Simple and easy. A must for a craft table.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
Instructions unclear. Caught house on fire.
@@briangarza7505 what instructions?
🤭 That’s ok, I bet I can help u put ur house back together again…we’ll learn how on RUclips. ✌️🫶😶🌫️
I just use an old bottle ! Remember spanada bottles covered in wax ?
An oldie but a goodie.
I clicked cuz I thought they were going to make gyros 🥙 then I watch the whole thing and no gyro 😢
Sorry about that.🙏
I can feel the wood flying into my eyes.....yeesh. You must wear safety goggles to watch this video!
I new it was making it thru the lens.
Very nice. I'm always looking for ideas for my Laguna lathe.
Glad you like it! Maybe someday I'll have a laguna. Thanks for watching!
very nice efficient workflow
Thank you!
Dude that's an incredible idea. Around how much do you sell a set of these for?
@@MaximilianStover Thank you!
$25.00
I have an idea so nobody burns anything down… use a battery operated candle.
@@1fan208 I offer those to people who are nervous about burning candles. Thanks for sharing that idea!
Looks very nice. I would buy them. Did you just give away the secret?
No. Let's just keep it between us.
Thanks for watching!
Can tell me what was that you used for the finished you applied? Very nice and quick to turn out Thank you Larry
It's shellac from the can at the hardware store. I just add a little finish oil and apply it as a friction polish.
@@RcWoodturning Ok thanks for the reply and info I’ll have to try that.
How do you keep the bottom from cracking with the pith still in it?
And the inside from burning?
@@kiukle If the wood is dry you don't have to worry about it.
@@kiukle The tea lights don't get hot enough to ignite the wood.
@@RcWoodturning Oh I imagine people using actual candles...because people are people
I've got a challenge for you, my multi talented boss, who was a genius with wood, when I was fresh out of college turned a peppermill, ahh, i hear you say, but there was nothing ordinary about it, out of padauk, which would eventually match the desired colour, in the form of a Coke bottle complete with carved flutes...its the only thing in the world i covet!
I've never done a peppermill before.
I thought he was making a lightsaber hilt. That would have been awesome.
I don't know what that is. But it sounds cool.
Cutting down pine , wanting to use to make risers! What do I treat the wood with , leaving bark on, to make safe for inside house?
Thanks, love the videos❤
I would use either shellac or polyethylene.
Gotta ask, you're working so close to that four sided clamp holding the branch don't you ever fear that your blade might get in those tiny gaps? Knowing that it spins the opposite direction the chisel might hit you. Just curious whether it's your experience and steady hand or some clever design which I don't understand that prevents it from happening. Thanks!
I think your talking about the chuck jaws. I really don't think about it. Probably time and experience. With the angles, if it did catch it would push the tool down, not toward me. I do get close at times and I can see how it might make some people nervous. It makes the video more exciting, don't you think?
I guess that's that, I don't know all the English names for these parts.
You're right. It spins counter clockwise, so it would go down. My bad. Either way, I too think you're just experienced and cautious enough to not see that as an issue. Thanks for the response. And yeah it makes the video more exciting! Proves your skill too!
I'm glad you're back, I was missing your videos.. Thanks!
Thank you! I was experiencing some burn out. Trying to get back in it.
Appreciate your patience.
@@RcWoodturning I'll keep you in prayer!
@@johnculver8707thank you! I appreciate that!
I have no idea why I watched this but I'm glad I did!
Thank you!

Clean up has to be a nightmare.
Only if you let it go to long.
Clean up shmean up😏
This is wet wood. Won’t it crack at the pith on the bottom??
No it's dry. I've had it about 3 years.
Tomorrow all the trees in every park will have no branches 😂 Nightly News "harmless diy RUclips channel spurs massive branch poaching operation on nations parks, trees left looking like telephone poles"
"In other news, a surplus of candle holders on the market put Christmas tree shops and Yankee candle out of business"
WOW! I wonder who's responsible.🤔
So relaxing to watch, I’d love to be able to do this, but ,as my shop teacher told me, while point with missing digits” stop grab assing around,you might learn something.”
I
Did not .
@@tomspence5830 I'm glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching!
What was it you used to burn the lines with?
Bailing wire. I also use left over welding wire from my mig welder.
Thanks for watching!
How much do you get for them?
How much do you sell these for? Encouraging my son to look for fun way he can make simple materials more valuable.
At craft shows I sell these for 20 to 25 dollars for the set.
Shout out for Kevin.

I'm too cheap to buy a lathe so i took one of the wheels off of a heavy grinder with no speed controls and take sticks and thread those to fit on where the wheel went. It shakes like an earthquake and sometimes flings sticks at my head but it works. This is a good idea to go and try on that death trap.
Be careful. Sounds dangerous.
03:57 Now tell us how you kept it from splitting since it appears
the pith is in the center. PLEASE...
The wood is dry so no splitting.
Nice work, thanks for sharing. Full View and Like 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Well now I gonna have to buy something else and try it. He shouldn't have made it look so fun.
And I wasn't even trying!
@RcWoodturning
Well she's just gonna have live with I'll make her something for her birthday.
Perfect project and product!
Thank you!
You can practice now theres a game on Android 😂😂😂

@@_zhawkeye_9808I was thinking awhile back if there was a way to do some kind of video format in real time to have like a question and answer kind of thing and maybe do some demonstrations. Maybe like zoom or something. But I don't know.
Also what kind of center/hollowing piece is that at 4:28? I think I may try to give making these a try since I'm just starting out :)
If your talking about the drill bit, it's a 1.5 inch forstner bit.
@@RcWoodturning Yea that! Thanks! Did you need to turn the lathe to the lowest speed to use the bit? I only have a HF lathe so I think slowest is 600 rpm, should that be safe enough?
@kiukle That should be fine. Just take it slow so you don't over heat the drill bit.
What’s a good lathe to buy for a beginner?
I've heard a lot of good things about wen lathes. I have the larger harbor freight lathe. I've had it for 3 years + and it works great. I also have a bench top shop fox lathe and it's a good one too. If you get a small lathe make sure it has the 1 in by 8 tpi spindle threads. Those are the most common. Also if you have the budget. I would recommend the electronic speed control.
Hope that helps.
I did the same thing, but never even turned em, left the bark on em !
@@ekbanjosworld4926 Yes. Those are pretty popular too.
How many time you spent toi create those 3 candles ? I'm curious 🤗
@@Jsm-Crypt-zx4te If I'm not filming video they take 10 to 15 minutes.
Not bad for a scrap piece of wood that just about anybody would throw away or burn.
@@randycarter2001 Thank you! I try to see the good and possibilities in everything. It's actually a very satisfying way to live.
Thanks for watching!
Dude, how many houses is this responsible for burning down?
@@patrickbishop801 This set is in my house. So 0.
Those would sell well on Etsy.
Yes I can see that. Thanks for watching!
Love the simplicity of the project, and its esthetics. For any who see the beginnings of a Chicago fire, there is a relatively inexpensive liquid glass coating fire preventative. You can actually watch a video by one of the manufacturers using a treated piece of wood with a blowtorch. Did not even touch it. I know when I start making these out of all the dead mulberry trees on our property, I will use the coating to put peoples fears to rest. Great job. Thank you for the video.😊
Thank you!
Do you know the name of that coating by chance?
I took a woods class once. They still tell stories of me. Bad ones I'm sure
@@sauceboy2719 either way, at least your remembered.
Why you wreck a perfect miniature log 😢.
Jk nice work 👍
It was crying out for a face lift.
Appreciate you watching!
Might sound like a stpuid question but what is the black string you used to burn the grooves black? Might yry to make some of these
There are no stupid questions. It's a piece of bailing wire. The friction from the spinning wood creates heat to burn the line.
@@RcWoodturning Thanks!
