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 :-)
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.
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...
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.
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?
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.
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).

Great lovely clear video and these tea lite holders are EXCELLENT, just what I was looking for to make. My sister's will love these. Thanks.

Great work man thankyou
Great work. Thanks

Thank you for the video, great DIY idea, and i dont call it sawdust, it is man glitter. keep up the great videos
what speed were you using on the drill press?
I would use battery tea lights, the flame might be a risk
Good video!!
I plan to get battery operated tea lights for safety.

I might have missed it, but what size Forstner bit do you use? I'm guessing 1 3/4", or 42-45mm?
Very nice. My wife wants me to make a few of these. One question - won't there be a danger of the candle setting the wood on fire? Thx.

What size forsner bit do you use for this project? I really like the design and want to give it a try.
He said 45 mm at the beginning for the foster bit if you’re using imperial measurements it would be around an 13/4”
@@rayraden2527 My largest forstner bit is 40 mm (specially bought for making tea light candle holders. Firstly I'll try it with this one.
What speed was the drill press on the end grain?
Slower speed
cute.
Is there a woodworking series? Especially now in lockdown?
I am new to this channel. So here I don't know. But Steve Ramsey is making woodworking series during these lock downs.
Being made out of wood it could catch fire. Don't you think?
Can you use a forstener bit without a press?
Yes but it sucks
How do you treat the wood so that it's flame retardant? Because those can easily set on fire.
So long as you stick to tea candles in tin cups the flame never comes close enough to the wood to burn.
I need this machines
Which type of timber is good?
Any hardwood I'd say
Looks nice but the name should be 'Firefighters nightmare' or 'How to burn your house down for dummies'. Bad bad idea
I guess you've never heard of LED tea lights

That's the first thing that came to my head when I saw this.
