DIY Wood Burning Technique - Wood Stain Vs. Dye Shou Sugi Ban

Күн бұрын

In this episode I use Shou Sugi Ban (a DIY Wood Burning Technique). Thenk I pit Wood Dye vs. Wood Stain to see which gets a better result using Keda Wood Dye, Unicorn Spit and RIT dye.
We also see if you get what you pay for when using dyes.
I also answer the question of “should you dye and then burn or burn and then dye?”

I recently bought 10 bottles of unicorn spit (it ain’t cheap) so I’m going to experiment with that first. The colors are crazy cool as are some of the online ideas. I loved watching you burn the wood first though so that just entered my plans. I hate watching “dry” instructors so thanks so much for the entertaining lesson.

Hi Nick I got into the shou sugi ban thing about 3 months ago and deep burn everything. It's way more eye candy than the light burn. Up until I heard about the Keda dyes I just used plain old Tremclad rust paint thinned 50%. Personally other than the major wiping when using Tremclad I prefer the final result over the Keda. I'm not knocking Keda at all. I used the Keda blue on a table which looks absolutely great. With the Tremclad one coat is all you need but like I said it has to be rubbed out. The best one I did was when I used Tremclad aluminum. It's just not a colour you'd expect to see on wood is probably the reason. Great videos Nick. I've learned a lot from them

@ericmeyn4380 4 жыл бұрын

Love your videos. Building a wedding arch for my son and his wife. Going to use this technique. Initial experiments going well. One question, if you're still answering them: The arch is made of box beams (1x6 boards built into a square tube) that are sectioned in 4 foot lengths. They are constructed using tongue and groove and will be glued up. I feel like I will need to build the box beam sections before I do the burning in order to get a consistent burn and to prevent issues fitting it together due to warping or other changes to dimensions from the heat. Any suggestions on this?

@BuildDadBuild 4 жыл бұрын

Definitely build them first. Tongue and groove can get all messed up during the burn as the tongues are thinner stock and can become brittle. I'd say glue the hell out of it and make sure to take quick passes with the torch. That way you won't make the glue bonds fail. Also if you can get a couple of metal L-brackets inside the beam, it might be a good idea. Also keep an eye on your end-grain. Heat tends to make the boards cup the way the C of the end-grain is going. Make sure to burn the opposite side to mitigate cupping. Cheers

@ericmeyn4380 4 жыл бұрын

@@BuildDadBuild Great info. Definitely going to glue like crazy with Gorilla Glue. I will have box splices inside the box beams (to splice the 4' sections into 8' box beams) so that should take the place of L-brackets. They will be glued and screwed in. I don't think I'm going to mess with the end grain other than maybe a quick surface pass to darken it. It doesn't really show on the arch the way it's set up. When you say "Make sure to burn the opposite side..." you don't mean the inside of the box beam, do you? There's no way to get inside the beam and do that safely. Finally, is there a way to send a picture? Grasshopper would love to show off his test piece to the master. LOL (P.S. Saw the smoked whiskey video and that's on the agenda as a project with son when he gets back from "places".)

Hey man, is the Keda dye difficult to get hold of? Can't find it in the UK, and Amazon don't seem to have it either. Great channel by the way. My 10 year old daughter thinks you're very funny #legend! I love "coffee" too man.

If you can't find it on Amazon, check their website www.kedadyeinc.com/ I'm pretty sure they ship internationally. Cheers!

Non-American here, is lacquer thinner the same as turpentine?

@BuildDadBuild 4 жыл бұрын

They are not the same thing. Honestly, I wasn't sure what the difference was. Here's an article that explains it better than I can. medium.com/@hrtblngstohim/lacquer-thinner-or-turpentine-a9ac5d9859da Cheers! 👍🥃👍🥃

didn't see you wet the wood before using unicorn spit ...which would have opened up wood depth.

Why do you wear AirPods in your videos? Are you using them as a microphone to hear yourself? Or hearing protection? Or just listening to tunes?

@BuildDadBuild 4 жыл бұрын

I'm just listening to tunes. And I'm calling that my "hearing protection" for the time being. If I could figure out a way to use them as a mic for the videos...that would be awesome!
