Watch the video with your eyes and try googling what liquid sodium glass is, it's what I coat wood with to prevent fire.

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.

I agree with you. It's a fire hazard and diy-wood will probably kill people with it. Should be banned outright. Stupidest idea on youtube, imo.

I guess you can't help ninny-nannies without stifling innovation, progress, industry, productivity, and the economy. Socialism for the win! *sarcasm*

@@michaelpriest6242 ... you should definitely burn candles in wooden candle holders every day, as long as you burn down your own home and not an entire apartment building, you silly soyboy ninny-nanny billy-boob. Hah!

Loool 🤣😂😅 Who invented fire ? Some bright spark 😄

Money likes quiet, buddy.

Thank you so much. You're cool if you can do things with your hands. I don't have that kind of time.

Yeah

Perfectly Prepared Examples 🙄😆

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw him reaching for the pieces next to the saw blade running. Bye bye digits😮

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

some call it water glass

@@johnduch2815 Used to stop radiator leaks in olden times.

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.

You're a smart girl and a great job! I love handy women!

You may well be able to make it out of any wood. In the video I made it out of willow. And we sell these candles out of oak. Completely dry.

@@diy_wood I wasn’t trying to disparage your work. My wood piece is over 50 years old and even the heat of the glass would concern me as I would hate to have it damaged. I loved your idea and the natural look of it as you created it and wish you all the success.

Thank you, it's reciprocated!)

I'm careful. I've already had cases so I know what I'm doing

Right you saw that I hollered at screen watch those fingers

How "careful " were you when you got that black finger nail ? 😮

The teeth aren't on the back of the blade

No you don’t. Or you’d just bump it with the next one

You're doing a great job)

Wood wicks are the best.

@@maggietaskila8606 it's very interesting, I'm sharing this video with my friends who make their own candles.

thank you for watching. I was glad to help you

They have wooden wick candles at every store, yet they are in glass holders cause ya know combustibility issues with WOOD candle holders like this genius made.

@@itscalledfreedomofspeech5019 He used a fire retardant on the piece, that what he was painting them with.

Thank you so much for the advice. Also thanks for the explanation with the candles. A lot of people don't understand the simple things.

You're doing great!) Way to go)

Yea, right! and I'm the king of England!

​@fintronics Greetings your majesty

B.S.

thank you for worrying about me. it's nice for me

Never wear long sleeves when using power tools!!!

You're handsome! Well done

Yes it is, I paint the whole thing inside and out. After drying, this wood does not burn even under a gas burner! The drill bit is already dull, it's very hard to sharpen them.

There's nothing wrong with your fingers. I know how to use the machines, been doing it for over 10 years. Thank you for worrying about me!

Thank you brother

Easy and fast!) You're welcome

and they smell good too

❤️👍

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.

Unfortunately, go to any comment section on any channel and notice all the jerk comments that are posted.

@@diy_wood you’re welcome, I believe in straightening out the record, ethics, and social justice as well, this word is full of people who don’t have a clue yet speak out when they don’t understand much of anything in this world to begin with!

@@natureboy123 Yes, unfortunately

@@diy_wood I've never seen Liquid Glass like what you used in the USA. That's new to me.

May the force be with you brother jidai!

Thanks 🙏

Anything that burns always has its danger for children among others. These candles are NOT FOR LIGHTING! THESE CANDLES ARE SCENTED!

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.

Sounds good.

You know, it's all in your hands. If you want to, you can do anything. And by the way, all my machines are Chinese, and they all cost at most 1,500 bucks.

You could get started with a $30 handsaw (if you buy new, $5 at a garage sale) and some sand paper.

It’s not for me.)

@@diy_wood I was pointing out a means for the flying saucer fellow to get started if he should choose to look at another way to get going as oppose to seeing a mountain before him. Not everyone has the iron kicking around after thirty plus years in an industry like I do. Nor do they need what I have, or many others, in order to get started. About $400 - 500 worth of used equipment and another couple hundred worth of wax along with a contact with an urban tree removal company would get that product going.

@@noneofyourbusiness3553 I use to make all sorts of hickory handles for tools with my grandpa when i was a little girl . I love to watch woodwork being done .My Grandpa and I shared lots of good memories maken wooden handels together and worken usen the tools also ..woodwork fasinates me 🙏

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).

The bark is coated with liquid glass, and it soaks into the bark perfectly. So it won't fall off anywhere

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!

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.

You're wrong, read what liquid sodium glass is.

No

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.

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.

Well, that's their problem, not mine.

But, it’s not g clamp)

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

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.

This is liquid sodium glass. excellent fire resistant coating

No. 100,000 is enough.

I don't speak good English. But yes, it's a scented candle.

Watch the video with your eyes and try googling what liquid sodium glass is, it's what I coat wood with to prevent fire.

What

@@diy_wood the wax filled items the clip is concerned with.

What if you hire helpers and do 5k units a week? Do the math.

Yeah, they're scented candles in wood. Beautiful candle holder made of natural material

it's just soy wax and a wooden wick.

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 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.

The cost of manufacturing one costs 1 dollar. this comes with work and all the effort. with electricity bills. and we sell them for 25 bucks. read it here)

❤️🙏👏Thanks a lot. I appreciate your comment

You're certainly right. But I'm as careful as possible with the saw, because I've been injured before and now I know how painful it is.

well, someone has to do the work

What exactly did you see as the problem?

No, it's under control. Don't worry about me

No wood is coated with fire retardant material. Liquid sodium glass. Google it.

What?

Everything is fine)

We sell each item from 25 bucks minimum.

@@diy_wood Thats impressive that there are buyers who will pay that.

just a little bit

You either think you have poor perspective or have never worked on a machine tool. If you are afraid of the machine, you will get hurt faster. I know how to handle it. Thank you for worrying about me, it's my pleasure.

Where did you see the fungus? If what you see on the bark is just lichen. Go look it up. Also, after liquid glass, it's unlikely that anything can live there.

Was waiting for drill to bite into log and swing the clamp . ..that would've been entertaining

nothing would happen, since to the left of the drilling machine the tail of the clamp rests against the cabinet. therefore it is rested and in fact fixed

😨

no one is going to get burned by this candle, watch the video carefully. And see what liquid glass is, I used it to treat the d

thank you

When you get new brains post here. Google liquid sodium glass.

YES, they are beautiful and unusual. And they are also coated with a fireproof coating. After it, the wood does not burn even under a gas burner

$$$$

And that is what is wrong with the world. I literally lit something on fire, it burned and I put it next to something I didn't want burned ...not my fault someone must owe me money.

you're wrong.

At a minimum, we sign a disclaimer when selling this product. You can burn your house down with a cigarette or a match. And this candle is coated with flame retardant impregnation. It can't even be lit with a gas burner.

Well, if you watched the video not with your eyes but with your ass, then yes, it’s dangerous for you. and if you looked with your eyes, you could see that I treated the wood with a completely fire-resistant coating!

$$$$

and I never comment on other people's videos.

You're stupid. Watch the video again

Why not?

Bucks, of course.

There is such a thing in business, especially in commodities and with goods that have an immediate danger as a “disclaimer”. Google it When a person buys this product, he reads the instructions, and if something happens to him, he is an idiot. Because you can burn down your house with a match. And by the way, these candlesticks don't burn! Because they're coated with a fireproof coating.

No!!!!

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.

I'm selling them for 25 bucks. Do the math.

@diy_wood In order to do the math I will need to know how long it takes to make one and what your expenses are.

Yeah 😀

It is wise to watch the video with your eyes and notice that I am treating the wood with liquid glass. It's the best fire retardant coating. You will not be able to set fire to this wood even with a gas burner. So before you make any stupid conclusions, study the topic.

@@diy_wood Thanks for the reply couldn't read the bottle.

25 bucks apiece.

How stupid are you, go google what liquid sodium glass is and how it protects wood from fire. That's what I used on the wood

no one forced you to watch, they invented rewind video for people like you....

From who? From being a stupid idiot who doesn't know how to use a candle? Or from you who doesn't understand what a flame retardant coating is?

you just don't understand anything about it

That's what you have to say???

What makes you think that? What did you sell or make?

@@diy_wood your equipment is not that of a million dollar product. I used to build custom cabinetry. And I had top of the line equipment.

If you don't know how to do it, don't do it.

So don't watch it, no one's forcing you to. Why write your dissatisfaction here?

@@diy_wood Don't read the comment. No one's forcing.

Well, smell your own fart

I don't live in the US and I kind of don't care about your tramp.

Well maybe if you don't know anything but talk in the comments then yes, you'll have a hard time making money at it. But I have working hands and a smart head and I've been selling these candles long enough to understand the demand and not just for them. So get your head out of someone else's ass)

I've been woodworking for about 40 years now and I'm retired and making a hell of lot more money doing my projects and getting them done faster and safer than anything I saw you do in your video, looks like you burned holes into your wood with that nasty looking an quite possibly dangerous forstner bit, then actually making shavings like it's supposed work, you obviously don't take care of your tools so I can imagine that your shop is in shambles as well, I can run circles around your ability and have proved that to other so called wood Butchers, I even have family members that are Butchers as well, my customers know quality and it's the reason they come back

Wow, you'd make a great teacher! NOT!!!

Well, at least you can brag about your progress here. You clearly have self-esteem issues trying to prove something to some guy on the internet. I don't care what you're doing with your pension. In general, in a normal state of mind, you should have the same attitude towards me. But I don't! You're very hurt and offended that someone said something to you that you didn't mean.

funny. hahaha

Well if you open your eyes better you'll see in the video how I treated the wood with liquid glass, it's a great fire retardant. You can't even light this wood with a gas torch after it's been coated with this stuff.
