This reminds me of that time when I never did anything like this.
I know what you mean. That happened to me about 3 years ago.
Thanks for watching!
Just go get an inexpensive wood lathe. You’ll be surprised at what you can do with it.
And still do.
I made a piece of wood and gave it as a Mother’s day gift. I of course rounded one end.
Just stay consistent.
My grandad ran a lathe for Westinghouse for years. Back in those days I guess they let their workers buy old equipment, so when the company upgraded to a newer model, Pap bought the lathe he used on the factory floor and brought it home, right next to Grandma's washing machine in the cellar. One of the few clear memories I have of him as a little boy before he died is of him turning wood on that lathe. Seeing a lathe always reminds me of my grandparents' cellar; thanks for taking me back :)
That's a great story! Glad I was able help you with that memory. My grandad was a woodworker and I used to hang out with him in his shop. I miss those day's.
Have a great day and thanks for watching.
Great memories! Not the same story, but reminds me of my grandpa working at his jewelers bench in the basement. Making all kinds of beautiful things the greatest generation no doubt! if only I could be half the man... Driving landing crafts on D Day to crafting diamond rings he did it all. RIP to Grandpas everywhere😢
My dumbass thought you were making a pepper-mill , then I thought it was cups. I was not expecting candle holders 😂
I'm glad I could keep you in suspense! Thanks for watching!
No worries, I thought the same thing about the pepper mill 😅
U all must skim thru with the skip 10 sec button cuz he def put pics up of what was to come 😂
Spoiler alert
Saved me from watching. Thank you!
Another one of these "why didn't I think of that" moments. Excellent 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
very nice and a great idea. Really enjoyed seeing a random tree branch turned into something useful and beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Tree: 🗿
A friend of mine made the same idea only out of old cedar fence post cut off but when the candle burned down the aluminum cup got so hot the post started burning lucky we were watching!
The cedar fence post was probably pretty dry. After I drill the hole I put a dip in the center with my gouge. That way the tin cup isn't touching the wood.
A dip of what? Nice video by the way. Always wanted to buy one of these@@RcWoodturning
A thought to any safety conscious crafter: Boric Acid can possibly be infused into the top of one of these and may help prevent an unattended disaster. Anyone tried using Boric Acid treatments for reducing flammability. We used to treat cloth that way for theater productions. It satisfies the Fire department we had to get inspections with. They actually tested our sets and materials before we could admit any audiences to our shows.
@@CrackedCandyI use the gouge to remove some wood from the center. It makes it concave. That puts air space between the wood and tin from the tea light.
Beautiful work. Another, simple fix - LED candles!
Ooooh! Fire starters!!!
Ya, a lot of people think that.
Yeah, in the old days, we drilled hole in the wood cylinder,
poured in some wax and stuck in a wick. No lathe required.
Excellent firestarter.
Best wishes!
I'm always fascinated by wood working but dont have a set space for stuff like this. Really cool stuff, glad i stumbled on this.
Thank you!
I appreciate you watching!
Simple and easy. A must for a craft table.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I’ve been looking forward to another video from you. This is great.
Thank you! It takes a lot of work to make a video and I've been experiencing some burn out, but trying to get back in it.
very nice efficient workflow
Thank you!
Oh hell yeah! Those are way cool.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
He used a gum block on the sanding disc. I remember how I never had to buy those because it was cheaper to buy old gum soled shoes at the second hand stores. Haven't seen a pair in many years.
I can't find those shoes either. But this was only like 5 bucks.
Thanks for watching!
@@RcWoodturning what's the reason for using a gum block? I've never seen this before.
@@FunkySpunkyJunkyit cleans the sawdust off the sand paper to make it fresh again.
I worked at a restaurant and had gum shoes - - thing is the bleach from cleaning the kitchen dissolves the gum soles of the shoes !!
Very nice. I'm always looking for ideas for my Laguna lathe.
Glad you like it! Maybe someday I'll have a laguna. Thanks for watching!
Fast forward to the end to see the coolest toothpick ever imagined.
👍
Ok this looks like so much fun, I’m mesmerized
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Rus, good to see more from you, missed your videos. Nice candle holders, quick and easy... Dan
Hey, thanks Dan!
Very cool. Kind of mesmerizing to watch.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I was expecting, and thought they would look good with the burn lines at the top of the candle holder.
That would be a great way to go too. I do them both ways.
Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you're back, I was missing your videos.. Thanks!
Thank you! I was experiencing some burn out. Trying to get back in it.
Appreciate your patience.
@@RcWoodturning I'll keep you in prayer!
@@johnculver8707thank you! I appreciate that!
This was great. Makes me want one
Thank you! It's a lot of fun.
Just satisfying to watch
Thank you!
Appreciate you watching!
Great video!
Greetings from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you! Enjoy the warm weather. I'm a few hours south of you.
I love wood 🪵 😁
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Nice!
Thank you!
Genius!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
Nice work, thanks for sharing. Full View and Like 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Yeah this reminds me of the time I spent thousands of dollars on a cnc lathe
That's a lot of money.
Cutting down pine , wanting to use to make risers! What do I treat the wood with , leaving bark on, to make safe for inside house?
Thanks, love the videos❤
I would use either shellac or polyethylene.
Clever
Thank you!
The thumbnail of this in my feed looked like schwarma or gyro meat. Which of course would consistently sell.
That sound delicious. But this has to much fiber.
@@RcWoodturning silly low fat options.
I haven’t turned a damn thing since 03 the lathe was always my favorite. Nice work no bs just turning,sanding and polishing awesome keep it up got a like and sub may have sparked an old love to reignite.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Try something quick and easy to start. Try to remember why you first enjoyed it.
Very nice concept and interesting use of what many would call firewood! One question - did you turn a tenon on the "foot" of the stock between centers and then mount in your chuck?
Thank you!
Yes I used a tenon.
Verry good
Thank you!
Can tell me what was that you used for the finished you applied? Very nice and quick to turn out Thank you Larry
It's shellac from the can at the hardware store. I just add a little finish oil and apply it as a friction polish.
@@RcWoodturning Ok thanks for the reply and info I’ll have to try that.
I bought my dad a lathe and a large set of tools for Christmas 1989, he passed away last year and whilst going through his tools I found the lathe, still boxed up and never used, I am going to set it up and start turning.
BTW what was that you used to colour the accents?
Sounds like a great way to honor your dad. I hope it serves you well. If your referring to the lines, I use bailing wire to burn the lines.
Thanks for watching, and I hope you get a lot of joy from the lathe.
I have no idea why I watched this but I'm glad I did!
Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
...hmmm...I believe I watched something like this in the past...🤔
Do you ever do shows around central Florida?
Matt
No. I'm on the west coast.
@@RcWoodturning ...nuts...I'd have liked to come and hang out with you for a while...maybe pick your brain a little...
Anyway, always enjoy your work...even tried a few of your pieces...I've found that turning branches is my favorite...so, thanks!!!
Matt
@@_zhawkeye_9808I was thinking awhile back if there was a way to do some kind of video format in real time to have like a question and answer kind of thing and maybe do some demonstrations. Maybe like zoom or something. But I don't know.
Ive always wondered how you determine the pressure applied to shave the piece down
It's not so much pressure. It's how much you engage the tool into the wood.
It's candle holders. They look nice.
Thank you!
Appreciate you watching!
Looks very nice. I would buy them. Did you just give away the secret?
No. Let's just keep it between us.
Thanks for watching!
I used to make little baseball bats for keychains when I took shop class in high school. $2 a pop, I was making money in class.
Key chains are still pretty popular.
This gives me an idea to do something similar, but instead of candle holders make salt and pepper shakers and a sugar dish.
That sounds like a great idea. I'm going to do salt & pepper shakers also. I have an interesting idea for them.
Thanks for watching!
What was it you used to burn the lines with?
Bailing wire. I also use left over welding wire from my mig welder.
Thanks for watching!
What’s a good lathe to buy for a beginner?
I've heard a lot of good things about wen lathes. I have the larger harbor freight lathe. I've had it for 3 years + and it works great. I also have a bench top shop fox lathe and it's a good one too. If you get a small lathe make sure it has the 1 in by 8 tpi spindle threads. Those are the most common. Also if you have the budget. I would recommend the electronic speed control.
Hope that helps.
I just use an old bottle ! Remember spanada bottles covered in wax ?
An oldie but a goodie.
Really cool!
Question for you. Could this have been done before power tools?
Thank you!
Yes it was called a treadle lathe. It was foot powered.
they built pyramids before they had power tools...
@@RcWoodturning I think you can turn up the RPMs on that lathe a notch or two. Seems a bit slow for finishing cuts.
Nice job. I suggest you invest in a quality set of Forstner bits. The one you used didn't look very sharp.
Thanks!Yes definitely time to sharpen.
Gotta ask, you're working so close to that four sided clamp holding the branch don't you ever fear that your blade might get in those tiny gaps? Knowing that it spins the opposite direction the chisel might hit you. Just curious whether it's your experience and steady hand or some clever design which I don't understand that prevents it from happening. Thanks!
I think your talking about the chuck jaws. I really don't think about it. Probably time and experience. With the angles, if it did catch it would push the tool down, not toward me. I do get close at times and I can see how it might make some people nervous. It makes the video more exciting, don't you think?
I guess that's that, I don't know all the English names for these parts.
You're right. It spins counter clockwise, so it would go down. My bad. Either way, I too think you're just experienced and cautious enough to not see that as an issue. Thanks for the response. And yeah it makes the video more exciting! Proves your skill too!
Have you done a version with a wood wick?
No I haven't. I do have one that's an oil lamp. And I'll be doing a couple more that I will post.
Well now I gonna have to buy something else and try it. He shouldn't have made it look so fun.
And I wasn't even trying!
@RcWoodturning
Well she's just gonna have live with I'll make her something for her birthday.
Well done! What exactly did you use for the burnt-in stripe? Is this a wire?
Thank you! I used bailing wire.
What type of wood is this? Do you have an issue with splitting after the wood dries?
This is cherry. It's already dry so no worries about splitting.
Yes because wooden candle holders make perfect sense....
Agreed!
@@RcWoodturning xd not trying to be an ass but seriously?? You do know wood burns right like?? You trying to catch someone's shit on fire??
@@jonathonhale3053 Yes, I know everyone thinks that. Tea lights don't get hot enough to catch the wood on fire. I know this because I tried.
@@RcWoodturning nice good job turning my questioning into an answer for anyone else out there doubting or thinking the same
@@jonathonhale3053 Thank you!
I wouldn't make or sell them if I thought they were dangerous. But you still have to be responsible just like any candle.
Thanks for watching!
How much do you sell these for??? And what type of venue, big city, rural, etc?
I sell this set for 25.00. Mostly rural settings.
I thought he was making a lightsaber hilt. That would have been awesome.
I don't know what that is. But it sounds cool.
Do you sell them at the schwarma spot
I don't know what that is. I wouldn't want anyone to mistake them and try to eat them.
are wood candle holders a good idea?
In what regard?
What disk sanding attachment is that?
It's these one's
amzn.to/44xFAnW
@@RcWoodturning that link goes to 2" sanding pads, not the larger one on your lathe.
What kind of wax or oil do you use to make them shiney like that?
It's shellac mixed with a little finish oil and used as a friction polish.
Awesome, thank you and nice work! New to turning, so trying to learn as I go.
I was imagining they were going to be some sort of measuring cup set. Nice though.
Thanks! That is a great idea!
I've got a challenge for you, my multi talented boss, who was a genius with wood, when I was fresh out of college turned a peppermill, ahh, i hear you say, but there was nothing ordinary about it, out of padauk, which would eventually match the desired colour, in the form of a Coke bottle complete with carved flutes...its the only thing in the world i covet!
I've never done a peppermill before.
I make snowmen with a hat and a hand knitted scarf about 8tx3 1/2w they sell for 50-75$ all day long especially around Christmas
That's pretty good! How big are the snowmen?
@@RcWoodturning 8 inches tall including hat and about 3 1/2 inches wide with or without a small base that is 3x3 inches done very similar to what you made with the 3 burn lines at the bottom of base takes me about 30 minutes to make one and I cover it with triple thick Walmart rattle can clear I can email you blueprints if you have it listed somewhere
@@RcWoodturning I use a lot of spalted wood I find in the Forrest so the wood has really nice patterns and designs and rich folk eat up that rustic Christmas look and I sell them in a burlap sap with twine drawstring bags I get from Walmart 3 for 5$ in the craft area and I turn them on a 60 year old wore out lathe 😂
@@Kingonionring200 That's pretty good. I find all my wood in the forest also. I'm surrounded by forest here in the PNW.
@@RcWoodturning hey just found your email on your description sent schematic and pic of one completed so you can make them to
I feel more like I do now,than I did before!
Me too.
Nice One there! Will keep watching! Thank You!
@@montyfinch5695 Thank you!
I appreciate that!
Wow, candle holders that can be firestarters in an emergency.
Yes if your careless with them, definitely.
great stuff. i think u r a little impatient and it affects your overall craftsmanship but still. great stuff. just a tip? make a mark on the bit for the depth that way u get it the same on all 3 pieces so the candles sit the same exact height on the inside. other than that, awesome vid man. cant wait to get into this kinda stuff.
Thanks! Ya sometimes I get ahead of myself trying to keep the video shorter.
@@RcWoodturning no worries still came out amazing,. yea those things ALWAYS sell for sure. women especially love a trio candle set. and wood just goes with anything lol. i cant wait to start this as a hobby. what sort of gear do i need? whats the bare minimum as a beginner? i have nothing.
My initial guess was rolling pin.
Yes I could have gone that way. Hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching!
How do you call that tool on the end lokks like a big drill
Are you referring to the forstner bit?
Those would sell well on Etsy.
Yes I can see that. Thanks for watching!
Which website do you sell them on?
I only sell them in person at craft shows.
This is wet wood. Won’t it crack at the pith on the bottom??
No it's dry. I've had it about 3 years.
How often do you have to sharpen your tools?
It depends how hard the wood is. I did this project without sharpening. I sharpen the tools before each project. I mostly use the bowl gouge and it only takes about 30 seconds to resharpen.
@@RcWoodturning Thank you for your reply. I'm new to wood working. Trying to learn. Have not taken steps towards wood turning but it sure peaks my interest.
@@picklemetimbers3003It's a lot of fun. I started woodworking and changed to turning.
I was waiting for it to be a toothpick
That would be a lot of wood to remove.
Fun. Havnt made these. What do they sell for jn your area?
This one around 20 bucks. But I don't do it for the money.
At first I thought you were going to do a light sabre
That's odd. Your the second one to say that. I will have to look into that.
Thanks for watching!
How much do you sell these for? Encouraging my son to look for fun way he can make simple materials more valuable.
At craft shows I sell these for 20 to 25 dollars for the set.
Wooden candle holder??
You guessed it!
Im sure there are better ways to learn or ask about starting. How or what would you recommend for someone to do who wants to learn but knows nothing, to start woodturning projects like this
Well I taught myself. I watched a lot of videos. If you really want to get into it I would suggest you look into some classes. A lot of the wood turning stores have classes or know where to find them. I don't know where you are located. I would also check if there are any woodturning clubs near you. I would be happy to teach you if you where near me.
I hope that helps.
This a wet or dry peice timber?
Dry. I had it for 3 years.
@@RcWoodturning great
👍
Thank you!
How much do you sell them for
25 for the set.
Curious as to the profit per hour.
?
On this project I sell for 25.00 and I can do 4 per hour.
@@RcWoodturning thanks for the response!
Nice profit too!
It's a lightsaber. Neat, definitely making a lightsaber. Yup that's going to be a lightsaber. Bet he sells loads of those. GODAMMIT
Well it definitely included light.
Would I have watched "How to make a tea light holder"
Good question
¾ of the video thinking he was doing a lightsaber handle 😅
2 others thought that too.
This is what Jessie Pinkman is up to in Alaska after events of BB! Ha haa £=‘P
??
03:57 Now tell us how you kept it from splitting since it appears
the pith is in the center. PLEASE...
The wood is dry so no splitting.
Ah, the wildo.
You lost me ??
Oh wow I thought these were going to be drink tumblers.
No, but that's a good idea!
Hmm, am I wrong to think these give me The Fifth Element elemental stones vibe?
I don't know what that is.
@@RcWoodturning From the movie The Fifth Element starring Bruce Willis and Mila Jovovich. The Elemental Stones are a group of brick-like objects that, combined with the Supreme Being, or the Fifth Element, become a powerful weapon capable of defeating the Evil that threatens Earth. Each stone contained a few lines representing earth, wind, fire, and water glyphs. To activate each element, it needs the actual element from the world, such as blowing air at the wind stone or pouring water over the water stone.
@@Mangolite interesting. I've never seen the movie.
@@RcWoodturning You should give it a view. It’s a fun space action adventure.
You only need to sell a thousand of them to recoupe the cost of the lathe
So 3 weekends
Really like your videos. You could make them better by narrating them. Tell us what you're doing.
Thank you! I'm skeptical about doing that because I'm not much of a teacher and I do things my own way which is not traditional. I would probably get a lot of flack from the real teacher's out there. I already get a lot of people that tell me I'm doing it wrong and I don't know what I'm doing.
Here's a thought, ever consider sharpening your tools?
Good idea! I should have thought of that.
I thought you was making salt and pepper shakers
Stay tuned their coming up. I have a cool idea.
@@RcWoodturning cool, I have a mini lathe to set up will I be able to make stuff like this?
@@HammerThumbssure!
@@HammerThumbsSure!
The lathe, man…the lathe…
Around and around she goes.
Yes wood sticks. Every mistakes goes right into the stove.
Now look around- what mistake.😅

I thought they was egg cups till last second..
Thanks for watching!
Spoiler alert: candle holders
HEY! I don't tell people your comment before you do it!
I wanna see him try it with a hotdog😂
Maybe if it was frozen.
Why you wreck a perfect miniature log 😢.
