    Would have been great to see what they look like on the wood. :)

    "Natrual" doesn't always mean fit for consumption. It's a really cool idea, but please don't drink vinegar and oxidized copper or iron.

    Can you bros do a video on how to naturally seal (make your own recipe) the wood? Also, since you have done this video it has been several years - have you perfected any recipes for beautiful natural (homemade) stains?

    Have you tried lead paint? It's so natural. The white the lead produces is so vibrant.

      @brothyr 8 років тому +2

      Hrod750 or touch it over the years or inhale any flakes/dust. But it is natural. It has to be good if it's natural. I hope people are still making leaded glassware and windows. That was tough stuff.

      Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Rassiff Amazing Woodwork Blaster (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great exclusive product for woodworking plans without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got amazing results with it.

    Try your stains on woods with more tannin in them e.g., oak.. The staining will be more pronounced. You will get more intense colors.

  • @melodyjones6646
    @melodyjones6646 8 років тому

    Hey, I'm specifically wondering about using copper. I have lots of experience using steel wool and vinegar -- to get a strong black, you should use bark tea between coats (and oak or walnut, wood with tannins).
    What do you think could be done to make the copper stronger? An article I found used a tbsp of hydrogen peroxide.

    • @reneejoy8004
      @reneejoy8004 5 років тому

      Melody please use a breathing mask and gloves if you do try the copper with vinegar stain.
      Copper acetate, which is the chemical produced by mixing copper and vinegar together, is NOT just copper or just vinegar alone in their separate states, and is NOT okay for consumption or direct skin contact. They form a corrosive that will do very definite damage upon contact with human cells, both inside as well as outside. A safety breathing mask or respirator, goggles, and gloves are ALWAYS a good idea if you are not sure of the actual safety of what you are using/doing.

    Would food color and vinegar go well? Is the vinegar used because it absorbs into the wood better?

    • @reneejoy8004
      @reneejoy8004 5 років тому

      Vinegar is a natural mordant (helps to stablize/fix a dye to keep it from bleeding or fading). If you have dark or bright clothes that the dye runs when you wash them, just wash them in cold water with vinegar and the dye will not run or bleed anymore. :) Keeps darks and brights fresher longsr. This also works for semi-permanent hair dye, do a half vinegar half water rinse on your hair just after dying it to "set" the dye so it lasts longer.

    use chlorine in the copper solution. it creates copper chloride which is the blue color, reacts faster too. only a few days.

    • @melodyjones6646
      @melodyjones6646 8 років тому

      +Konnor Leerek another article I read suggested hydrogen peroxide. do you think chlorine would be more effective?

    • @konnorleerek9843
      @konnorleerek9843 8 років тому

      +Melody Jones yes I do believe that chlorine would be more effective. the thing with hydrogen peroxide is that it is sold in different concentrates.

      @jdw562 8 років тому +3

      +Joshua Walters I use straight distilled white vinegar to wipe clean the inside of old musty 2nd hand furniture and smell goes away in about a day, provided you leave it out to dry & not try to put drawers back in units. I usually follow that with some coconut oil & antibacterial/antifungal essential oil & wait for it to be absorbed into the wood (about another day & you are good to go).

      When you burn it it does. If you leave it to oxidize it turns the some color as the statue of liberty. It's the oxidation that protects it it's the same with aluminum that chalky finish is actually what protects it from deterioration or corrosion.

      yes, mine are. It is fine as long there is no oxigen / air contact. I also just wanted to say you shouldnt taste everything because it is just vinegar + X. Copper acetate is indeed not the most dangerous thing on earth but still I prefer not to get it on my skin.
