Then take this video down, you hypocrite! You're collecting ad revenue of something that killed more than 50 people in the US and UK alreadt. Who knows how many more have lost their lives BECAUSE OF YOU!

Lmao same

Do it! Do it!

I’m here because I’m watching a video by Ann on how KZfaq removed HER video explaining how deadly this is. Yet in their wisdom KZfaq is leaving the how to videos up. Guess KZfaq wants to see more ppl die.

KZfaq has since removed her video saying it was dangerous content, when she was warning of how deadly the practice is. But this video remains! 😡

Me too

I think it is because the video was made before, and they can only edit the description but either way its not enought

I agree this is extremely irresponsible. If someone accidentally touched the board or contact they would be killed by 2000 volts. 200 is enough to kill most people This video should be removed

@@beelzemobabbity yeah that’s why they should take it down. But I guess the views are more important to them for now

I can agree somewhat. But the difference between this and any other dangerous diy task? Like replacing a car battery. The average person that might want to perform wood fracting, probably won't even have the correct tool to try something like this.

@@liamkearns7278 the biggest difference with this and most other diy's that are dangerous is that if you fuck this up in anyway you will die. 2000+ volts and 1+ amps will kill you outright

Stf u

This is true of a microwave transformer that puts out 500mA. Many of us use a neon light transformer that only puts out 30mA. For reference, it is about 100mA that will kill the average adult. Reardon has turned this into a boogeyman while also making it main stream. More people who have never heard of this will now try it. If these videos start getting censored there are only going to be more people using dangerous methods instead of learning the safe and proper ways to do this.

when can you touch it how long does it take too discharge?

not if its grounded

its only dangerous if you dont know what oyur doing

🙋🏽‍♂️

Me and it’s not even that nice.

I was curious after hearing about their deaths

👋

Yes. And these videos don’t belong on KZfaq. Most don’t have the warning here in the description and there should be a warning in the video itself. People watch and think it’s safe or not very harmful. Everyone should report these videos as the dangerous and harmful acts that KZfaq supposedly is against.

Quit whining and quit telling others what to do. Some people actually follow property safety precautions and aren't reckless. The guy has a long stick wrapped in electrical tape and electrical gloves on . If you can't take care of yourself get off the internet

This must be the most stupid hack that exists, I have read that many people have actually died. Even if you plan for safety an accident could easily happen, like your hand slip and you would die immidiatly (unless you get CPR immidiatly). So specially stupid to do all alone, not sure either if it's a good and moral thing to show this on youtube even if everyone is responsible for themselves but many just don't use their brain or research .

@@--..__ It only takes one elapse in concentration to end up dead, redundancy is safety. Sure electrical tape but they were not wearing electrical resistant gloves, (they are just basic leather work gloves) considering the danger these gloves should also be up to their elbows. They are also not standing on a electrical safety mat, nor do they have an electrical resistant apron on. Again considering the dangers of fractal wood burning, they themselves are not taking enough precautions. I agree that some people actually follow property safety precautions and aren't reckless but unfortunately this video is one of the reckless ones.

@@--..__ even if you wear insulated gloves YouCan still get extreme injuries for life. In one a proffesional electrician did this with insulated gloves and he could see the smoke literally coming off from the gloves that were practically welded to his hands. This isn't safe even for proffesionals.

Experience or not its still incredibly dangerous, one slip and unless you are seriously fortunate you will die and even if you survive you are injuried for life. Watch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/reCfpqd8yL61YH0.html or if the link isn't working (as it isn't for some) search how to cook that, her debunking videos are great and the more views her video gets the better. Get informed, save a life.

To an extent therein lies the problem, the getting hit for just a second - due to electric shock you are unable to let go so that second would most likely be full time until someone can SAFELY isolate you, by which time you will already long be toasted. If you are "lucky" enough to get hit for just a second (e.g. the shock was to luckily knock you to an isolated location) then you may well survive but that's unlikely as you typically loose full control of your body and freeze as you are electrocuted. Your brain and feelings still work though so you go through the horrid pain (both physical and emotional) right until the very end.

Good morning, thank you very much for the warning, I will follow your advice

I took the transformer from a microwave but didn't go any further with it , though of "3000" volts inches away said no thanks you , need only one slip to get your wing's, so anyone thinking of doing it think again the 37 that died thought exactly the same, "I'll be carefully "

Good morning, thank you very much for the warning, I will follow your advice

@@rileyvonbevern4652 so how would you be safe around 2000 volts?

Yeah, especially the brigading telling uploaders that they are personally responsible for death. Real classy.

@@centralintelligenceagency9003 Part of her point is that not just the uploaders are responsible, but KZfaq is too. She has a series of videos discussing harmful and sometimes deadly crafts and "hacks" she finds on the internet. Her target is KZfaq. Holding KZfaq responsible to its platform. She's also often going after content farms who make those compliation videos full of stupid stuff, but this craft was the exception.

They probably only added it to the description after the deaths started being reported on

YES, not only did he ONLY add the warning hidden within the description AFTER a bunch of people have died, but he’s purposely not taking the video down or editing the video to add an ACTUAL warning where people will ACTUALLY see it, bc this guy cares far more about getting money from all the views. Sadly, even adding these comments is helping him get more money, bc “interaction” is the only thing the youtube algorithm cares about. Hitting “dislike” still helps the video get more hits/views. Reporting it is the only way to eventually get dangerous content removed.

Because he's arrogant.

yes literally

It's not for nothing you need a specialized education to be allowed to work with high voltage, don't play with your microwave transformer.

Is it really that pretty? I can hardly see the appeal of it. It might be, if the burns were even and spread out nicely from one end to the other. But most of the time, they're not. Some clumps up in one place, a few burns are much more severe than others and char big ridges into the wood, which don't look all that nice even after all the cleaning and touching up.

Get over it, looks fantastic & I will try it. My life & my choice to do with it what I want.

240V, which is the voltage of a regular home outlet, is what I had the pleasure of receiving. Rare that people die from it but it's still dangerous. ~8 times that will kill you pretty quickly

I did a "damn that was dumb" once at the top of a 65 foot sailboat mast. I took out my metal multi-tool to probe a mast-head light. I had personally turned off every breaker that fed the equipment up there. I had forgotten about strobe lights and capacitors. I managed to hang on as it tried to blow me off the two tiny folding steps I was standing on. Didn't even let go of the untethered multi-tool, so no-one standing below me got it through the skull.

@@micemr76 I'll happily share it if you won't.

First, I agree with you. I would never do this the way it's shown in a YT vid. However, you could set up a perfectly safe way to do it by using a dead man's switch located in an adjacent room. Both rooms would be built to allow no possibility for current to pass between them. Closing the circuit could take place using a bluetooth signal with a relay, or something similar, to allow complete isolation. A monitoring system could provide for verification of complete discharge of all electrical energy before it was physically possible for the operator to approach the wood. You could actually automate the process, using some simple robotics, and make it not only safe, but at $200 a piece, you could make a pile of money at it. But I agree, not a great thing to set up in the corner of the garage for a little Sunday morning tinkering.

Avoid death by not doing it

Unfortunately it’s very dangerous no matter what method you use. I don’t know what happened to those people how they were doing their burns but I have found the method I use to work great. With that being said I don’t recommend anyone trying this.

Do it outside in a controlled environment with proper safety gear and advice and supervision from an experienced professional

BruceBurns Woodshop one woman was carrying her rig outside , tripped on her baggy clothing and accidentally turned it on while holding the dangerous bits. She didn’t die but permanently burned disfigured her hand, lost a few fingers. I hear tell that it’s a 70% chance of death from touching the shocky bits, so she’s a lucky lass.

I have it mounted to a piece of plywood inside the box. The playwood is bolted to the plastic. This way the plywood will heat up a little but not enough to melt the plastic.

Thanks you......I am adding a fan and aluminum sheets to dissipate the heat

Pencil marks to make sure whole surface is sanded, weight to avoid cupping because wetting the wood and then the burning process dries it so the moisture content is uneven so will warp otherwise, the weight and time help counteract the warping/cupping.

If a single part of your body even *grazes* any part of the wood, metal, table, you will get shocked with 10× the number of volts needed to stop your heart and die. *This is not worth your life.* Stay safe broski 🖤

I never use stain but if I did I would probably use it after. Your just going to want to make sure you have all the sanding done before you put your stain on. And I use Rubio mono coat for a finish, that’s what made the wood pop!

Please, don’t do fractal burning again. It’s very dangerous and it’s not worth risking your life.

@@bruceburnswoodshop1620 You can play with your own life, but by encouraging people to try this themselves, you are playing with others.

I made mine from a microwave transformer!

Rubio Monocoat pure

Do you mean the thickness planer?

And thank you!!

@@bruceburnswoodshop1620 yes thickness planer 😉

Guessing an pneumatic orbital, 220 grit, don't want to go to fine or the poly will repel.

Det her er veldig veldig farlig. Du kan dø og mange har allerede dødd.

I think this one took around 10 hours! Thank you!

@@bruceburnswoodshop1620 It's fun to watch for sure!! Love the results...

@@bruceburnswoodshop1620 Take this video down.

Thank you!!

Please check out my latest video on fractal wood burning safety! Some of the stuff I talk about in there can help a lot !

Do not do it, its not worth the risk

I'm only liking your comment so that others can try to convince you not to, please, life is precious more precious than a gimmicky effect on wood

Dude just don't, I'm pretty sure you could create a similar effect with carving, which is way, way safer

I sincerely do not recommend doing this. The slightest mistake can and will lead to death or permanent injury/disfiguration. I’m not sure how much you’re being commissioned for this, but please rethink your decision and talk to your customer about a safer method that can produce a similar effect. your safety is never worth it.

It’s around 1,500 volts

@@bruceburnswoodshop1620 so...300 times what it would take to stop your heart. Take this irresponsible video down.

Two buttons is a great way to make sure you're out of harms way. A dead man's switch isn't useful for adverting electrocution, all the mussels in the body lock in place when current is flowing through them.

I actually have a dead man’s switch on the way. It’s definitely a much safer route! Good thinking!

@@flapper1555 Don't do this man. It simply isn't worth the risk. After watching Ann Reardon's video, I've learnt of so many dangers of this method that aren't apparent at all. The gloves will not save you from 1500 W at 2000 V. Also, the finished product looks pretty hideous anyway, you can do better.

So the electricity comes from a high voltage transformer, I hook up the ground on one end and hook up the hot lead on the other end. The entire piece is soaked in a water baking soda solution ( this helps the wood become more conducive). And when I turn the machine on the hot and ground leads try to complete the circuit and burn that pattern into the wood. Electricity is always trying to find the shortest path back to ground, and in this case it is through this piece of cherry wood! Thank you for watching!!

@@bruceburnswoodshop1620 thanks so much for the explanation
