That's great, enjoy!

@@maybury78 hi! Can you please give more information about your extruder?

good idea, thanks

An even better idea is to dilute it with alcohol :)

Fantastic idea!

@@maybury78 what's the liquid you are using

Thanks 😃

kzfaq.info/love/KXflwBs6eRxFc-sS4KPKtw I'd love to have a chat with you for my channel also if you're up for it?

thanks for your kind comment

thanks

i agree

If you think watching this was soothing, try actually making some. In addition to being very relaxing, it's also inspiring and extremely rewarding on mutliple levels :)

Hi, what book?Could you please tell.

The Book is called Incense, Crafting & Use of Magickal Scents by Carl F. Neal

Just want to say I got it on ebay for very little money, worth every penny.

❤️

Resin and water don't mix very well. The best approach is to freeze your resins and then grind along with the wood powder :)

Essential oils ALWAYS smell better than burning vegetable matter. For some reason tho it never occurs to most people until after they've burned some vegetable matter expecting it to smell good :)

cool, glad it helped. enjoy 😉

Thanks ❤️

Yes thanks. I tend to do that with some of the ingredients that are harder to grind to a fine powder, like Agarwood etc.

Hi, Which sticks do you mean? The incense itself sets hard so doesn't require a stick. If you mean the Palo Santo sticks, there are various places online to buy it. I got mine from a friend who brought it back from Peru. x

Hi, thanks. it is Tolu Balsam, related to Peru Balsam.

That black liquid thing in the bottle ?

@@pallavisingh5997 Essential oil.

Dark bottle mein konsa resin hain

Thank you!

:)

Thanks, I was just talking to a friend about making another video :) It is 'Tolu Balsam'.

@@maybury78 yeah 100% make one more.

No wooden stick, they are more like a cross between Japanese and Tibetan incence.

maybury78 is it possible to make that paste and roll it onto a stick?

Thanks, for watching, enjoying and your kind comment.. Sorry I haven't made any more yet! X

Hi Adam, it was Tolu Balsam, it's similar to Peru Balsam. I think the key to me being able to make fully successful sticks was when I started using Tabu No Ki powder as a binder and combustible, it is great stuff although a bit expensive. Cheers, Duncan

it's a pleasure:)

Hi Dolores, thanks. Before I was using the Tabu No Ki (Makko Powder) I just used the resinous type ingredients such as frankincense to act as a binder, I then need to use ground up charcoal as a combustible to help it burn. I read Gum Arabic works. Good luck :)

Sorry for the delay!! It's from Chile, a friend brought it back for me :)

it depends on what ingredients you use and the ratios as to what the burn time is. For the short credit card length ones mine usually burn for about 30mins. I did make some for a friend's mum who wanted long burn times for her prayers, they were quite a bit longer and burnes for about 90mins. You can get ingredients from all over, there are some shops quite close to me where I can get stuff, failing that eBay, Amazon or other online shops. good luck, be good to know what you come up with and what works well. Dx

Hi, various places online sell them. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sugar-Craft-Fondant-Cake-Press-Kits-Clay-Extruder-Decor-Tools-20-Discs-/282918887872?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

It's not essential, it is Tolu Balsam, similar to Peru Balsam. Thanks

Gristle Von Raben Thanks, no I haven't tried it, have you?

No, that's why I asked, lol. I am just starting. I am being sent some supplies, and I will get some guar gum and let you know if it is better or worse for incense making. It's possible it is only necessary in charcoal incense making... have a great day, and thanks for your answer.

maybury78 guar gum is terrible, when it burns by itself it smells almost like burning feathers. I'm going to order some gum Arabic.

@@maybury78 gum arabic is the only sticky gum resin in mass production that smells pleasant when burnt, the others smelled like burnt toast with burnt sugar on them.

​@@gristlevonrabenI use gum Arabic it turn out good 👍

No :)

just posted link but deleted it as I don't think it worked. search eBay for 'clay extruder' x

Hi Sheila, Have a look on eBay, you should be able to find one. No I just make it for enjoyment and to give to people. Cheers

Yep that could be a good idea. I like to roll the sticks over after a while to help them dry evenly, I guess grooves might make that a bit harder. Thanks

Place a lightweight board on top and invert the pair; remove the grooved board and roll the sticks as needed. When done, reverse the process and then help the sticks to settle back into their grooves.

More trouble than it's worth with small hand made batches. Plus you kinda want the freedom of movement you get with a flat open workspace as things don't always go as planned. When making large quantities they do it spaghetti style and slow dry so the bundle keeps the sticks straight. It's actually a lot easier to make your sticks a little thicker and shorter... easier to work with, less waste, more options, and easy to store in glass vials :)

Feras Shehadeh It's like this: Kabalo Electric Coffee Bean Grinder & Nut/Spice Grinder Kitchen Accessory (Black & Silver) www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N75BX4D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_H6tMAbHZ5RP77

I'm in the USA and use a Cuisinart Spice and Nut Grinder. Coffee grinders don't last long grinding wood and resins :)

Hi, I have bought Agar from this guys before www.oudmarket.uk/products/malaysian-agarwood-powder-grade-aaa?variant=5770578591773

@@maybury78 So sorry for the late reply but I didn't get a notification for some reason, perhaps because I wasn't subscribed. I thought I had subscribed but hadn't so I have now. Thank you for getting back to me and for the link. I haven't stopped researching about incense and places to find good ingredients, it's hard to tell when ordering online of course, especially when it comes to the pricey stuff. I've also just finished reading Carl F. Neal's 2nd edition on making incense, interesting read and some great tips. The book titled Incense: Crafting & Use of Magickal Scents: New and Expanded. I'm not really into the ritual magical side of the book as I just want good smelling incense as most other bamboo dipped scented is undesirable giving me sinus, eye and throat issues, probably due to chemicals. I like to have a go at things myself if I can, especially when it has a creative side. I came back to your video because it's the best I've found on KZfaq for what I'm aiming to achieve. It's the one video that sparked a real interest in me. It would be great if you had a follow up but hey, I'm simply just glad you made and uploaded this one :)

@@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN no worries, I know what you mean about wanting to do things yourself, good to learn stuff. I feel like I don't have much else to show in a new video, what would you suggest as quite a few people seem to want to see more? Cheers, D

@@maybury78 I just ordered from the oud market you recommend, it gets great reviews. Now I have everything I need to get started. I found the same extruder yourself and Carl uses also on ebay. I'm thinking of drilling a hole either side of the hole in the middle for quicker and easier extruding three lines at a time, my own idea so it might not work good lol. As I am a total novice and some ingredients are quite expensive or harder to find , a video on some of your best buy ingredients compared to some you may not be so interested in purchasing again in a hurry. The pro's and con's of some ingredients ( easy/hard ) to work with and why plus. Perhaps another recipe or how you went through your journey to achieve a good burning, smelling Joss stick. As there is very little good information online compared to other topics I think another video would be very well received as I think this one was/is. I make KZfaq videos myself. Sometime in the future when I know what I'm doing I might make a video on the subject and of course give you and Carl a mention but I would of course clear that with you both first. My channel is a campervan channel really but I use incense in my van. Certain scents are great for keeping wasps and fly's away in summer. Perhaps you know of a good ingredient for this purpose, if so, stick it in a video :)

Daggaleds Music band i think he said ebay, was called extruder i think

Hi thanks, the video was intended more as a guide to experimenting then to making a replica, the main essential ingredient is Makko Powder(Tabu No Ki) and whatever fragrant ingredients you want to play with.

Brillant thank you so much for that

Hi Shamith, it is 'Tabu No Ki' powder. great stuff, if you can get some go for it. Kind regards, Duncan

maybury78 thank you for reverting back. It is also called makko right ? Thanks you

yes indeed it is

maybury78 : I am located in India. I bought this powder called dust powder. It is used for the mixing. When it come makko or dust powder. Do you think it is natural. I doubt, I think it is with chemicals. Well there are few Tibetan incense which says 100 % natural and no preservatives . Incense like lama chodpa. What do you think ? What do they might use for the mixing ? Any idea ? Thank you

Hi, I am sure it is pure and not made with chemicals it is the bark of the Machillus Thunbergii tree. I don't know what is used to bind in Tibetan/Himalayan incense, I would be interested to know. The powder you have found in India sounds interesting.

Hi, Tabu No Ki powder aka Makko Powder is the main binding/burning powder. thanks

EndOfEntertainment P

Sri Dewa Hamza I don't see why not, probably better off smoking it though.

Roll a joint and light it :)

Cannagars, man

8 colheres de cha de makko (n tem no brasil) 1 1/2 colheres de cha 1 1/2 palo santo Acho que 1/4 de balsamo

It depends on your ingredients you choose to use. Yes as far as I know the ingredients I use are.

@@maybury78 that's awesome thanks

Nothing wrong with hard work! 🙂

What else can you use as a binder?

Hi, I bought it from here www.holisticshop.co.uk/products/makko-powder-organic a bit expensive but it lasts a long time. I am not sure about other binders, gum Arabic comes to mind. The Makko powder is definitely the best option in my opinion. Thanks

Oh Jeeze Louise that was a fast reply! It’s 8 am in Victoria BC CANADA ... I never expected that . What a highlight to my day . Thank you ever so much

maybury78 thank you so much

Use an electric incense heater. Make sure it's one that gets hot enough, the old metal teapot styled ones from China are inexpensive on eBay and work great. Most of the fancy ceramic ones have weak heaters :)

hi Millerite its me Rajendra from Nepal

Thanks for highlighting this issue 🙁 Sad times we live in! ❤️

ha ha, what point would you like me to have got to sooner?

Want a picture book instead? if i remember correctly we learn stuff from others talking about it.

Shonte0 don't be so rude.You can always bugger off to another post.

I didn't find he rambled . Each thing he mentioned I wanted to know; what it is, what its used for, what it smells like, where's it from....

Andie Andie ah bless, maybe you are a bit sensitive.

maybury78 maybe your right.i just have to get over it..thanks

I didn't think he was going to ever make anything. He talked about every thing. I thought he was going to talk about what every container was made of. I'm moving along. Nice voice though!

Then don't watch it :)

these things can't be rushed! ;)

Alright... cheers

Incense making isn't going to be for you... it requires care and patience at every level. If you can't make it thru this video you won't make it thru a batch of incense :)

Thanks
