Doing the drips from the bottom up is going to be a game changer for me.

@mac3971 10 месяцев назад

I made candles last year based of 3 of your videos and they turned out fantastic. It was the led video,the motivated lighting video, and the low voltage waterproof box. They added a very spooky feel to my graveyard.

@VanOaksProps 10 месяцев назад

That is awesome!

I went with the alternative of buying used LED candles at the thrift stores for ~$1 each and embellish them from there. I am refitting them with small WS2815 12v LED strips and WLED so that I can use them throughout the year.

Nice solution!

@OjaiHaunt 10 месяцев назад

Never can have enough ! I love making candles all different ways. Good tips on here, I honestly didn’t know that you could take the dang writing off the pipe. 😆

@VanOaksProps 10 месяцев назад

You’re not alone. I’ve heard the same from some well established haunters. Acetone to the rescue!

@knuckleheadmcspazatron4939 10 месяцев назад

Genius!

@KerriGilpin 10 месяцев назад

Another great tutorial, the brown stain did so much heavy lifting in the transformation, and such a great idea using that translucent foam as a diffuser!

@lou1971 10 месяцев назад

Awsome! I knew you would come up with something instead of using molds. Brilliant!!! Never would of thought light would shine though thin pvc

@munkustrap2 10 месяцев назад

A soldering iron is very handy in making notches too. Not sure if would work on carving out the top of the candle though.

@tinkerbench 10 месяцев назад

keeping my soldering irons away from you lol

@DarthCobay 9 месяцев назад

A wood burner might work too. I used that to weld 3D prints together

@Gercke 10 месяцев назад

I was just about to head out to the home improvement store in one hour to get PVC to follow your LAST faux candle tutorial and then this video drops. What are the chances! Love your videos!

@VanOaksProps 10 месяцев назад

Glad I could help!

@gunnarbiker 10 месяцев назад

Not to sound creepy (pun intended) but, that candle is sexy as hell! Cool project! USELESS FACT FOR THE DAY: As an old civil engineering GIS dude, I can tell you that SCH 30 PVC has a min slope of 0.40% on 8" sewer. There's your free useless tip for the day! LOL

@blackmarketoutpost 10 месяцев назад

What a great idea love the technique!!

@torsloke 10 месяцев назад

I’m glad you added the warning about wearing breathing protection. I would also like to add the warning to wear eye protection. I was cutting PVC last year when I was trying to make a wrought iron gate to join our two sections of cemetery fence when the pipe shattered. I got knocked backwards like I had been punched in the face, because I had been essentially. I got a nice cut on the bridge of my nose, but I counted myself fortunate because I had been wearing my protective eyeware and there was a shard of PVC embedded half the thickness of the left lens that would have taken out my eye if I hadn’t been wearing them.

@NickCasey 10 месяцев назад

I made some of these before using the same kind of LED’s, I used a disc of white EVA Foam with a small slit in the center to hold the bulb in the base. Then filled it up with clear hot glue with hot glue to make a water tight plug and provide diffusion. There was a bit of marvel ping from the white that was still left I the glue gun that really helped the diffusion. I was working with thinner diameter pipes though, and that might be a lot of glue for larger candles. (Don’t forget to drill one or two drainage holes in back of course).

@stephannieschapiro1816 10 месяцев назад

Great video. I made 4 of the 12volt light boxes from your video 2 Halloween's ago. It works so awesome!

@chrisimperial6516 10 месяцев назад

Perfect timing too! Can I throw out a request? How about do a video on old dried up flowers for a grave site? Projects are always great, thanks! Chris

@VanOaksProps 10 месяцев назад

@Timetravel1111 9 месяцев назад

Oh, this is great I love that it would be resilient materials for a candle! Question, you think it would last in the rain in the wind in Minneapolis weather ⛈️❄️ Also, do you have any either 🏴‍☠️ or Egyptian ideas from decide if I want to go with the theme outside?

@VanOaksProps 9 месяцев назад

I think so! Stay tuned for some pirate props.

@chrisimperial6516 6 месяцев назад

Do you recommend using non flickering LED lights if I plan on using your new lighting system with LED spotlights and a flickering module?

@VanOaksProps 6 месяцев назад

That's correct. The module will do all the work.

@apextrainin 16 дней назад

Love your videos! Can't find schedule 30 anywhere. Do you have a suggestion for an alternative? Thank you...

@VanOaksProps 16 дней назад

Worst case scenario you can just use schedule 40. A lot of hardware stores keep it with their sewage pipe - in fact some just call it "sewer and drain pipe." So if you haven't looked in that department or using that term it may be worth taking another look.

@apextrainin 15 дней назад

@@VanOaksProps WOW! Thank you for the fast reply! (and for the suggestion) I appreciate it.

@ryanashley6241 10 месяцев назад

Would those bulbs and connectors be weather proof for outdoor uses?

@VanOaksProps 10 месяцев назад

You'd need to protect them, but they could definitely be used outdoors.

@metajock 10 месяцев назад

Really good version, and way cheaper than buying the ones that use batteries. Thanks!!! Question, please: With this design, how many LED sets can you power off of one 12v adapter, please? TIA!!!

@VanOaksProps 10 месяцев назад

I’ve run at least 40 LEDs from one 12v 5a power supply.

@metajock 10 месяцев назад

@@VanOaksProps That many? Oh, I've got ideas now... Thanks!!!

@TonyBullard 10 месяцев назад

Damn, i cant find schedule 30 pipe at either the orange or the blue store.

@VanOaksProps 10 месяцев назад

Have you tried “sewer and drain” pipe?

@TonyBullard 9 месяцев назад

I finally found some 1 inch at Lowes. Well on my way to have a set of 15 candles!

@daShare 10 месяцев назад

A possible alternative to pvc pipe is the translucent pipes that rolls of window tinting comes on. You can get them for free from the auto window tinting places. From memory they are about 80mm (3") in diameter and 1500mm (5') long.
