Great video, only one thing and this is for everyone, you should always wear a mask, a really good friend of mine never used a any face coverings when he did his woodwork projects. He sadly passed away at an age of 53 with nasal/sinus cancer. I can see you are just demonstrating, but I would also like to see your wood projects for a lot longer. Take care & keep safe :-)
Great idea. I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing the video. Btw do you have more information on the tools, especially the drill and the interesting attachments?
Very cute! Love the look on the wood-burned one. Great video, and I plan to try it with some modifications to compensate for my small drill press. Think about making them in different heights.
first project with my 10year old grandson, thought it was great gift for his Mom. Wants to know what we can do next, Looks like we have a budding woodworker.
He has a tea light in one for the full length of the video. I'm going to make one and watch it until a new tea light burns out. That I'll know if it's safe to sell.
Same question, I just watched the video, 12/29/2023. Cool project, what about the heat? That's my concern. If I were to make them to sell, would there be a fire. At the same time, I hope that BuilderSA would show their 103k viewers to date, a safe project. It's been 3 years there could an answer to this question. I will keep scrolling.
@@johnbuwalda1427 I made some and gave them to friends and family. Looks like given the air circulation around the flame with all those holes it seems ok and not catch fire. Of course, I am not selling them - that could be different level of liability.
do you think adding a small ceramic bowl to the top will be ok? looking to make some tealight candle oil diffusers. just wondering whether the bowl would make the flame's heat burn the wood as it would be partially trapping it in the structure...
I use my FILs drill press and can do nowhere near your level of wood removal with a forstner bit. His is a 1/3 hp. Is this too little hp to efficiently do this ? Seriously, going that deep into a pine 4x4 literally (seriously, no joke) can take up to 5 minutes or more.
Make sure you are using a new/sharp bit. Secondly, the first cut is end grain & always more difficult. Once you flip it to do the sides it should be much easier. If not, time for a new Forstner bit (or learn to sharpen bits).
