Regarding my comment on the Paraffin being poisonous - I have learned that it is commonly used in the food industry as many comments have pointed out. I guess my comment is based on the lines of be careful when using your cooking equipment for your projects when using commercial substances of which you may not know the health implications. In my brief research prior to the video I saw some information that it could be poisonous. There is different grades of paraffin made for different applications. Better to be safe and do your own homework than get sick. Thank you all that provided feedback on this matter.
Well....maybe not all of us, Scott certainly can though, I just received my Paraffin today, already had some beeswax, I am going to melt the two together in a microwave though, I'll comment either way on its success or failure.
Damn it, that didn't work, microwaves work by exciting water molecules at 2.4GHz, I am guessing there is very little water in Paraffin and Bee's Wax. Resorted to the double boiler method and mixed a batch up, but will have to remelt tomorrow as I can't be bothered tonight.
Nooooooooo! Qué geniaĺ ! Que buen recurso para hacer mis fundas para las varas de pesca, amigo!

Thanks Svengali! Yes I think a lot of the old PFAFF. All mechanical. Speaking with a sewing machine repair guy in the week and he mentioned that the new expensive machine have computer control (Motherboards) and when they get say 5 years on the maker brings out the new model and doesn't make the replacement parts making them worthy of the bin. Sad but another reason like the old technology.
Short and sweet but to the point! Great work as always Scott. YES.......please make a video of sewing the bag together. I want to lean as much as I can!
what a great simple video. It's been raining around my parts, and when I open my garage door, sometimes water drops down onto my cast iron tablesaw from the door as it rolls up. I've been trying to think of a good way to cut a tarp up so it would hold a shape to cover the saw, and this may be a great inspiration.
Man - just binge watched your videos. You are amazing. I watch your thumbnails, and i'm thinking "he must have picked that part up from another machine, and fitted it to his project", but then it turns out you've actually made it from scratch, and with relatively simple tools. I've played guitar for 20 years, but then i see Tommy Emmanuel play, and it's like i don't really play the guitar. I feel the same way watching your videos. I have built my own house, but compared to you, and your skillset, i feel like a complete newb. Good on you - hope you keep making videos for a loooong time.
Many thanks Peter - really appreciated! Truly I'm just blessed with time to try things out. Many times I have been in over my head and I just keep swimming. All the best!
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Having built my own house i get the "in over my head" part. But the thing that sets you apart as well is your artistry. You have such an eye for the finished project. Like when you paint something orange, and i'm sitting there thinking "what is he doing", but then it all comes together and looks awesome. Have a great one :).
That was really cool, amazing how wax completely changes the nature of the canvas. I also can’t believe it’s already 36 up there you guys get hammered with the heat
I think I would have melted faster than the wax in that 36C heat. Awesome little project, looking forward to see what other soft good projects you've got up your sleeve.
Scott Turner, Вы Удивительный человек и очень хороший Мастер - Мастер на все руки. С большим удовольствием смотрю Ваши видео и с нетерпением жду новых выпусков. Удачи Вам!!!
This is excellent info - thanks Scott. I must give this a try. I've always liked the feel/texture/look and practicality of waxed cotton duck/canvas, and wondered how it was applied in an even coating. Looks very do-able! Cheers, Craig
PS: Very interested in both videos you mentioned: editing the making of the bags, and the sewing machine restoration. Count me in for anything like that. Cheers, Craig
Looks great to me. A thought I had for helping to soak the wax in is hit it with a heat gun while you're brushing it on? That should keep it from stiffening up and giving you an uneven coating.
Holy mother of moo cow, man. That thing is stiff as an ironing board! Looks like it would sail a few laps around the pond pretty well! ⛵ Just what you were aiming for, I guess... 😉👍🏽 Top job, mate. 👌🏽
Shivers never thought about how that stuff was made. Your mate JP Struttin...I watch his channel, really cool. I gave him a shout out in my last vid and he picked up about six or seven new subs 🤣. Cheers mate.
Make a series of these maybe with a. Wire frame in the edge as soft-sided totes that slide into an (Forme) industrial wood and steel shelving unit. Great for soft items, toys etc. or bottom shelf in a tv cabinet for games magazines dvds etc. awesome job Scott 👍🏻
Awesome work bloke. Some say that if you stir it with a wooden spoon it won't make your viewers fillings in their teeth vibrate...... Maybe dub over the stirring noise by running your finger nails down a blackboard 😜 Gotta love that Nivea sensitive shaving gel when performing the upward throat shave 👍👍 great vid by the way. Hey have you met Dustan and Sarah in Townsville yet?
And here I am thinking all of my viewers are deaf after running all my machines all the time. Haven't met Dustan or Sara yet, but then again, I don't get out much ;) Thanks Paul!
Might be a good idea to pre-wash the canvas, as it has a dressing on it from the manufacturing process, it will make the wax soak in more evenly and won't be so stiff!
Paraffin is most definitely not toxic. It's used in food service all the time...just say'n By the way, I feel your pain in that heat, something like 97F, that sucks.
I noticed that green heavy duty cobblers sewing machine in the background -- would you consider doing a pro/con & how-to video on that? I'm thinking of getting one - they're surprisingly inexpensive and seem quite capable.
There are heaps of videos on them. I've used it a couple of times and it works fine after a bit of tuning. I'll have to test it out more before I do a review. I don't know how they can make them for the money they sell for really. So far so good.
Hey mate just a quick question, thw shoe patcher sewing machine on the table...can i ask where you bought it from and possibly what seller. I am from Australia too. Cheers Alen
Hi Alen, here is the link from the seller: www.ebay.com.au/itm/Leather-Cobbler-Shoe-Repair-Machine-Dual-Cotton-Nylon-Line-Hand-Sewing-Machine/132250776262?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
hmm . . . they sell paraffin wax for sealing food during canning. [edit] a quick look, and it seems it depends on what kind of paraffin it is and whether it is truly paraffin and how pure. Food grade seems to be more plant oil and chemical based vs crude oil refining left over based.
Some of the information I looked up said it was poisonous so I thought I'd better mention it since I was using a cooking pot. I was thinking worse case scenario. Smelled a bit whilst I was heating the wax so I kept it near the shed opening. This stuff was bought as a base for making candles at a big chain store, so my guess is it's ok. Thanks for the feedback!
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Might be, but yeah, better safe than sorry. I really only paid mind to the food grade stuff in passing and from way back in memory (I was maybe 10 or 11 when we canned from a garden at home.53 now) I know from helping can food as a kid, it has a distinct smell, especially if melted without a double boiler. And, hot enough, it does burn (you could make candles from it . . .oh . . . wait (~_^))
Hey Scott, I noticed the orange Spotlight clearance price tag, I'm assuming you're from Australia? If so, nice to see a fellow Aussie! Anyway, I was wondering where you got your plain cotton canvas from? I'd love to do this project as I too have been itching to make something with waxed canvas but buying them by the metre is quite expensive!
Hi JVO. I also got the canvas at spotlight. I think I paid $13 per M. Something like that. If you buy Waxed canvas it will cost you a heap more. I couldn't get it so I made. my own. Cheers.
Great Project Scott!!! I just recently bought myself a nice Bernina and that gave me a really good idea about a few things as well :) does it smell very much or is the waxing rather subtle?
Thank you! Regarding the smell, I guess it depends on the type of wax you use. Some people add citrus scents to the wax for a nice smell. Mine smells ok.
No comments about how not using a double boiler will burn down your whole shed and likely the nunnery across town too? I don't know about this "Wave of Positivity" vibe you have going on here, Scott ;-) Best, @HoneyOnWales
If you mix your wax then let it set hard them take a block and rub an even layer over both sids of your canvas then heat the canvas between grease proof paper with your iron you will have an even coating
Hello, I would like to know how many days should pass after applying the wax so that it cures and can be impermeable. I tried to wax some canvas and after 48 hours I dropped some water and it was faded. Thank you.
Well in my case, once the wax had cooled it was useable. Another thing, make sure the canvas is saturated with the wax/paraffin mix. Again with mine I could clearly see the wax had penetrated through to the other side.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Thank you very much for your timely response, I will make another pueba although I do not understand why after 72 hours I drop water and leave a clear stain even if the fabric does not pass, that is, it is waterproof but does not keep the color of the waxed fabric. I tried to fix it by passing the dryer again. Another thing I use 50/50 beeswax and paraffin wax, can this be the problem? Greetings.
I was very happy ( ´ •̥ ̫ •̥ ` ), I was happy to see the video and cried a little. I will make my work politely and humorously, so that I can continue the production! Thank you very much! ありがとうございます！
I was very happy also when I received your wonderful gifts all the way from Tokyo! Thank you so much my friend! I hope that the damaging weather in Japan has not affected you. All the best and see you next time.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious A river overflowed in the neighborhood, and many people died in the typhoon in the country side. Very sad news was reported. Fortunately, my house and shop were fine. But the wife was worried all day. Thank you for your concern. I also work to help people affected by the disaster.
Yes, that is true, however I am told that there are some variations of paraffin, i.e for industrial use for lubrication, some for food prep etc. I guess I just wanted people to think twice about using their cooking gear for projects like this in case they use something toxic. Thanks for the feedback Robert.
It's definitely not. Paraffin is regularly used in tons of edible stuff, like candy (in small quantities). Paraffin oil is used as a laxative, a wood finish for kitchen utensils and when scented it becomes "baby oil". It's true that one shouldn't eat industrial grade or candle grade paraffin, but this it true for anything unclean.
I was today years old in learning paraffin is poison Thanx for sharing the troubles inherent of doing this procedure Neat project but hey, you didn't 'DiResta' the product?! No 'Forme Industrious' mark?! :o smh
May or may not be depended on food grade or not apparently. Try to be on the safe side as I was using a cooking pot. Ah, I'll tag the next ones to make up for it ;)
Um, is there anything you can't do? MIG and TIG welding, woodworking, CNC and now sewing, I'm sure there's more I haven't listed too. You need to be cloned.
Well I hear some of the grades of paraffin is not good for you/ toxic. This stuff is non toxic but I had to be cautious using a cooking pot when people may not do their own homework etc. I hope that makes sense.
Regarding my comment on the Paraffin being poisonous - I have learned that it is commonly used in the food industry as many comments have pointed out.

That’s a helluv an idea! I never knew I wanted a wax coated canvas tool bag! Lol

My pleasure and thanks you Lamont!
Metalwork, woodwork and now needlework? Good Lord you’re talented.
Thank you - I'll try anything.
We Framies can do anything
Well....maybe not all of us, Scott certainly can though, I just received my Paraffin today, already had some beeswax, I am going to melt the two together in a microwave though, I'll comment either way on its success or failure.
Damn it, that didn't work, microwaves work by exciting water molecules at 2.4GHz, I am guessing there is very little water in Paraffin and Bee's Wax. Resorted to the double boiler method and mixed a batch up, but will have to remelt tomorrow as I can't be bothered tonight.
Nice bag, but your old rusty industrial sewing machine, really was the star of the show for me! That was one big score, getting hold of that machine.
Thanks Louis! Yes she's a beauty the old PFAFF 230. I have a video on it when I fixed the old critter up.
I watched the video... very envious I will admit 😊😊

Nice work Scott.
Love the old Pfaff.
Such a good old machine.
Isn't this the machine that Scott refurbished a while ago? 🇬🇧
Yes it is. Still need to make it pretty but it all works fine. Thanks Ben!
Thanks Svengali! Yes I think a lot of the old PFAFF. All mechanical. Speaking with a sewing machine repair guy in the week and he mentioned that the new expensive machine have computer control (Motherboards) and when they get say 5 years on the maker brings out the new model and doesn't make the replacement parts making them worthy of the bin.

"More Betterer" Hi Scott, nice work, ive also seen oiled canvas rain coats. Old Western wear.
big old heavy rain coats. I had one years ago working out in the cold wet nights.
Used to use a hair dryer when re-waxing jackets, flowed on quite evenly. 👍
Yes that will work. Thanks
Looks great to me. A thought I had for helping to soak the wax in is hit it with a heat gun while you're brushing it on? That should keep it from stiffening up and giving you an uneven coating.
That's a way I've seen it done too. Thanks!
I've always wondered how it was done, tried a wipe on product on my leather hat, made it as stiff as a board but it does repel the rain :)
I've used Fabsil before, but that's just an aerosol. It's for using on tents and umbrellas etc.
Haven't heard of fabsil but there are a number of spray products. Not sure if they give the stiffness and charm of waxed canvas. Cheers Ben.
Yes there are probably lots of ways to do it. Cheers Tony!
Nice video and instructions
Bag turned out fabulous! : ) Mahalo for sharing.
Thank you and the pleasure was all mine! Thanks again!
Interesting process 🤠👍
Thank you ty!
Thanks for the video Scott.
My pleasure and thank you!
You could make a cool wrench roll with that material too. The wax coating may help prevent rust on the tools. I might have to try that.
I have made a few tool rolls but I might have to try and wax them as they arena see how that goes. Cheers!
Holy mother of moo cow, man.
That thing is stiff as an ironing board!

Yes will have to do something about my memory John :) Ok will have to send you something when I get your address.
Hi Scott,
it's easy when you're watching.
I think you thought a lot about building this and quenching it? good job & thumb blue
It was a good learning project for sure. Thanks again!
Coooool. Seems like these would be great gifts, and useful for all kinds of things. I think I need to learn how to use a sewing machine...
Sewing is addictive. When you start suddenly everything needs a cover, tools need a tool roll. Cheers!
Make a series of these maybe with a. Wire frame in the edge as soft-sided totes that slide into an (Forme) industrial wood and steel shelving unit. Great for soft items, toys etc. or bottom shelf in a tv cabinet for games magazines dvds etc. awesome job Scott 👍🏻
Perhaps a wire rope skeleton so that it is still somewhat squishable.
Good idea!

No I just made it to suit my needs. I have made a few now and they are quite simple really.
If you mix your wax then let it set hard them take a block and rub an even layer over both sids of your canvas then heat the canvas between grease proof paper with your iron you will have an even coating

I was very happy ( ´ •̥ ̫ •̥ ` ), I was happy to see the video and cried a little. I will make my work politely and humorously, so that I can continue the production!
Thank you very much! ありがとうございます！
I was very happy also when I received your wonderful gifts all the way from Tokyo! Thank you so much my friend! I hope that the damaging weather in Japan has not affected you. All the best and see you next time.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious A river overflowed in the neighborhood, and many people died in the typhoon in the country side. Very sad news was reported.
Fortunately, my house and shop were fine.
But the wife was worried all day.
Thank you for your concern.
I also work to help people affected by the disaster.
@@jp-makes I am also very sorry for the loss of life but happy that you and your wife are safe and well. All the best JP.
"Parafin's a poison...." News to my grandmother, who sealed thousands of canning jars with it.
Yes, that is true, however I am told that there are some variations of paraffin, i.e for industrial use for lubrication, some for food prep etc. I guess I just wanted people to think twice about using their cooking gear for projects like this in case they use something toxic. Thanks for the feedback Robert.
It's definitely not. Paraffin is regularly used in tons of edible stuff, like candy (in small quantities). Paraffin oil is used as a laxative, a wood finish for kitchen utensils and when scented it becomes "baby oil". It's true that one shouldn't eat industrial grade or candle grade paraffin, but this it true for anything unclean.
No fans in the shed Scott ? ? ? ?
No, just on UA-cam.
I need a cool room I think!
На солнце не растает? 😊
Я думаю, что солнце немного смягчит воск, хотя я думаю, что все будет хорошо.
Old sailors used waxed canvas to keep tools from rusting.
I've been finding uses for it everywhere lately. Suddenly everything needs a cover or a bag :)
I was today years old in learning paraffin is poison
Thanx for sharing the troubles inherent of doing this procedure
Neat project but hey, you didn't 'DiResta' the product?!
No 'Forme Industrious' mark?! :o smh
May or may not be depended on food grade or not apparently. Try to be on the safe side as I was using a cooking pot. Ah, I'll tag the next ones to make up for it ;)
💖💯😎👍
Thank you!
Um, is there anything you can't do? MIG and TIG welding, woodworking, CNC and now sewing, I'm sure there's more I haven't listed too. You need to be cloned.
More like I'll have a crack at anything :) Thanks mate!
Filson have a new competitor
I wish
look like leather
From a distance maybe - thank you.
Mixing nylon with canvas... nahhh...
Before you know it, it will be the "thing to do" ;)
So the wax is poison... and then you put your toothbrush in there with no cover or anything.... yikes
Well I hear some of the grades of paraffin is not good for you/ toxic. This stuff is non toxic but I had to be cautious using a cooking pot when people may not do their own homework etc. I hope that makes sense.
