Why are people so impatient?I much prefer your style, no annoying frantic we-r-all-having-a- fun time music that you find on most instructional video posts.
just a thought. instead of putting the resin into the quarter teaspoon, use the quarter teaspoon to indent the shape into the powder. then pour the resin into the shape the quarter teaspoon left in it. that way you get your measurement without getting sticky resin on the spoon, and or wasting any from stuck on residue.
I have so much to thank you! I made my own recipe inspired by yours, using palo santo, sandalwood, frankincense, benzoin, lavender and tolu balsam. I tried your earlier (using charcoal instead of makko) and this one has such a more complex aroma but the main noites still like yours. Also the way that you make the incense is very relaxing. Hope that you can make more incense recipes videos like these!
I really enjoyed your video my friend .It would be really helpful if you could list the ingredients in the video description. Keep up the good work friend.
If you think watching this was soothing, try actually making some. In addition to being very relaxing, it's also inspiring and extremely rewarding on mutliple levels :)
Very nice demonstration! I am just getting into this venture. I started off trial and error and had some success but bought a book that has really shed some new light on the craft. Thanks to the book I understood everything you were talking about. Liked the Coffee Grinder Idea!
You are right about lavendar. Almost all flower scents are better as an added essential oil instead of as plant fibres. Almost all flower petals smell of garbage or popcorn when burnt. My neices and I went through many tests of materials.
Essential oils ALWAYS smell better than burning vegetable matter. For some reason tho it never occurs to most people until after they've burned some vegetable matter expecting it to smell good :)
oof. this was so pleasant, thank you. very glad to have come across this. perfect pace, solid instruction, attractive voice (and hands). cant wait for my things to be delivered to give it a go myself. absolutely understand you not being into listing ingredients, like c'mon people use your heads, get creative. hope yer well!
to handle tolou balsam, Peru balsam, liquid styrax and other similar resins, I suggest you find something similar to those chopsticks that are used to eat Asian food, only steel and a little larger in diameter, possibly with a handle at the top; with the tip take the material, and with a flame, heat the upper part to the material, taking care not to stay too close to the resin .. once the wand is hot enough, the resin will slide without a trace ... I do like this
Great tutorial, thank you for sharing your process! What is the name of the dark liquid resin? I can not seem to make it out from what you are saying and am not familiar with it here in the states.
Hi, Which sticks do you mean? The incense itself sets hard so doesn't require a stick. If you mean the Palo Santo sticks, there are various places online to buy it. I got mine from a friend who brought it back from Peru. x
Great tutorial. Thanks for taking this time to share with us your technic. Just one question: does tolu balsam as essential oil would be an alternative to the sticky resin? Thanks
Thank you for this FANTASTIC video. The only real "Incense how-to" on the youtubes. May I inquire, what was your resin called, the stuff you heated up? I could not catch it. Thank you and please make some more videos of these. Thanks!
Hay this is what i looking for. I really can not find incense stick without bamboo stick. Thanks your utube. Fi i want more where i can looking for. About base dough ratio
Thanks for the video, what is the liquid resin you are using? my sticks are very fragile and break easily. using spruce gum powder as a binder, and also started some balsam fir sap. still not as easy to roll out as yours as it falls apart. any tips?
Hi Adam, it was Tolu Balsam, it's similar to Peru Balsam. I think the key to me being able to make fully successful sticks was when I started using Tabu No Ki powder as a binder and combustible, it is great stuff although a bit expensive. Cheers, Duncan
Could you print recipe under "show More", its the spelling of each item Id like to know. Have you figured out the cost of making these? Have you used 100% pure essential oils in any of yours?....guess I should check before asking. ; )
Hi! Thank you for this amazing video! I was wandering is there any kind of binder that can replace that powder and that resin because it is to expensive for me to get it. I want to make workshops with loads of people and it is just not possible for me to use those ingredients as a binder. I am ok with herb ingredients but I really need help with something that's gonna bind them and make them firm that is cheaper .Thanks for helping ;)
Hi Dolores, thanks. Before I was using the Tabu No Ki (Makko Powder) I just used the resinous type ingredients such as frankincense to act as a binder, I then need to use ground up charcoal as a combustible to help it burn. I read Gum Arabic works. Good luck :)
No, that's why I asked, lol. I am just starting. I am being sent some supplies, and I will get some guar gum and let you know if it is better or worse for incense making. It's possible it is only necessary in charcoal incense making... have a great day, and thanks for your answer.
@@maybury78 gum arabic is the only sticky gum resin in mass production that smells pleasant when burnt, the others smelled like burnt toast with burnt sugar on them.
I'd like to try your recipe in the description but is there a good place to purchase agar wood? It's so expensive at around £10.00 or more per gram and I wouldn't even know if it's the real thing. I have everything else and more sorted out as far as ingredients. Thanks in advance.
@@maybury78 So sorry for the late reply but I didn't get a notification for some reason, perhaps because I wasn't subscribed. I thought I had subscribed but hadn't so I have now. Thank you for getting back to me and for the link. I haven't stopped researching about incense and places to find good ingredients, it's hard to tell when ordering online of course, especially when it comes to the pricey stuff. I've also just finished reading Carl F. Neal's 2nd edition on making incense, interesting read and some great tips. The book titled Incense: Crafting & Use of Magickal Scents: New and Expanded. I'm not really into the ritual magical side of the book as I just want good smelling incense as most other bamboo dipped scented is undesirable giving me sinus, eye and throat issues, probably due to chemicals. I like to have a go at things myself if I can, especially when it has a creative side. I came back to your video because it's the best I've found on UA-cam for what I'm aiming to achieve. It's the one video that sparked a real interest in me. It would be great if you had a follow up but hey, I'm simply just glad you made and uploaded this one :)
@@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN no worries, I know what you mean about wanting to do things yourself, good to learn stuff. I feel like I don't have much else to show in a new video, what would you suggest as quite a few people seem to want to see more? Cheers, D
@@maybury78 I just ordered from the oud market you recommend, it gets great reviews. Now I have everything I need to get started. I found the same extruder yourself and Carl uses also on ebay. I'm thinking of drilling a hole either side of the hole in the middle for quicker and easier extruding three lines at a time, my own idea so it might not work good lol. As I am a total novice and some ingredients are quite expensive or harder to find , a video on some of your best buy ingredients compared to some you may not be so interested in purchasing again in a hurry. The pro's and con's of some ingredients ( easy/hard ) to work with and why plus. Perhaps another recipe or how you went through your journey to achieve a good burning, smelling Joss stick. As there is very little good information online compared to other topics I think another video would be very well received as I think this one was/is. I make UA-cam videos myself. Sometime in the future when I know what I'm doing I might make a video on the subject and of course give you and Carl a mention but I would of course clear that with you both first. My channel is a campervan channel really but I use incense in my van. Certain scents are great for keeping wasps and fly's away in summer. Perhaps you know of a good ingredient for this purpose, if so, stick it in a video :)
Interesting but I could not hear what half the ingredients were - I list or a printed label on your video would make this so much better - thanks for sharing anyway
Hi thanks, the video was intended more as a guide to experimenting then to making a replica, the main essential ingredient is Makko Powder(Tabu No Ki) and whatever fragrant ingredients you want to play with.
it depends on what ingredients you use and the ratios as to what the burn time is. For the short credit card length ones mine usually burn for about 30mins. I did make some for a friend's mum who wanted long burn times for her prayers, they were quite a bit longer and burnes for about 90mins. You can get ingredients from all over, there are some shops quite close to me where I can get stuff, failing that eBay, Amazon or other online shops. good luck, be good to know what you come up with and what works well. Dx
Yep that could be a good idea. I like to roll the sticks over after a while to help them dry evenly, I guess grooves might make that a bit harder. Thanks
Place a lightweight board on top and invert the pair; remove the grooved board and roll the sticks as needed. When done, reverse the process and then help the sticks to settle back into their grooves.
More trouble than it's worth with small hand made batches. Plus you kinda want the freedom of movement you get with a flat open workspace as things don't always go as planned. When making large quantities they do it spaghetti style and slow dry so the bundle keeps the sticks straight. It's actually a lot easier to make your sticks a little thicker and shorter... easier to work with, less waste, more options, and easy to store in glass vials :)
maybury78 : I am located in India. I bought this powder called dust powder. It is used for the mixing. When it come makko or dust powder. Do you think it is natural. I doubt, I think it is with chemicals. Well there are few Tibetan incense which says 100 % natural and no preservatives . Incense like lama chodpa. What do you think ? What do they might use for the mixing ? Any idea ? Thank you
Hi, I am sure it is pure and not made with chemicals it is the bark of the Machillus Thunbergii tree. I don't know what is used to bind in Tibetan/Himalayan incense, I would be interested to know. The powder you have found in India sounds interesting.
I just received a few pounds of high quality guggle gum from India, I can’t wait to make some sticks to burn, I hate the charcoal tablets, they make my house smell like a barbecue. ThisIs guggle gum is wonderful though it kind of smells like cupcakes
Use an electric incense heater. Make sure it's one that gets hot enough, the old metal teapot styled ones from China are inexpensive on eBay and work great. Most of the fancy ceramic ones have weak heaters :)
Hi, I bought it from here www.holisticshop.co.uk/products/makko-powder-organic a bit expensive but it lasts a long time. I am not sure about other binders, gum Arabic comes to mind. The Makko powder is definitely the best option in my opinion. Thanks
You had me until you pointed out your pile of Palo Santo wood. This tree, native to Ecuador and Peru primarily, has been raped and depleted of its bark because of all the yoga folks, the people who think appropriating other religions and cultural rituals is "cool" and "new age." Seriously, these trees are greatly endangered because of its "holy wood" meaning to the communities of South American countries and how millions of people not of these regions or cultures decided to start using it because it's catchy and makes them feel spiritual burning it for the fun of it. Please try to use wood which is sustainably grown and processed, there are several other types you could be utilizing instead. Red Cedar (which is not actually a cedar) makes a wonderful incense base due to its lack of smell contribution yet combustible properties. You can easily purchase this online already in powdered form for using in incense. Same for Sandalwood or Pine, though these will lend scent to your incense. Nice video, however. Thanks for sharing your process with us. Sorry about the lecture, I just think you and your viewers should be aware of this ill usage of Palo Santo tree bark and how the trees are going extinct due to the "incense/smudging trend."
now the displaced animals that lived in the maca trees were eaten bye local villigers and all names ,places have been change to protect the guilty..who dem burn it up all the
Incense making isn't going to be for you... it requires care and patience at every level. If you can't make it thru this video you won't make it thru a batch of incense :)
seriously man.pain ful to watch at the begining.constantly moving hands about.Un sure of what item your wanna puck up and moving things around.plan it out better.had ro turn it off.

Hi, what book?Could you please tell.
The Book is called Incense, Crafting & Use of Magickal Scents by Carl F. Neal

Thank you so much , I really enjoyed your demonstration, can’t wait to try ❤
Nice tutorial. I would add resin to a water, and than add both to powder mix, that's my suggestion. Thank for sharing.
Resin and water don't mix very well. The best approach is to freeze your resins and then grind along with the wood powder :)
As a cheap and easy binder you can make dextrin from corn starch in a home oven.
It's good enough for pyrotechnics so more than good enough for this.
I am deaf and the closed captions does not spell anything right at all, please list what you are using. It would help me tremendously! 💙

You should go to woodprix website if you'd like to make it yourself m8s.
You had me until you pointed out your pile of Palo Santo wood.
This tree, native to Ecuador and Peru primarily, has been raped and depleted of its bark because of all the yoga folks, the people who think appropriating other religions and cultural rituals is "cool" and "new age." Seriously, these trees are greatly endangered because of its "holy wood" meaning to the communities of South American countries and how millions of people not of these regions or cultures decided to start using it because it's catchy and makes them feel spiritual burning it for the fun of it.
Please try to use wood which is sustainably grown and processed, there are several other types you could be utilizing instead. Red Cedar (which is not actually a cedar) makes a wonderful incense base due to its lack of smell contribution yet combustible properties. You can easily purchase this online already in powdered form for using in incense. Same for Sandalwood or Pine, though these will lend scent to your incense.
Nice video, however. Thanks for sharing your process with us. Sorry about the lecture, I just think you and your viewers should be aware of this ill usage of Palo Santo tree bark and how the trees are going extinct due to the "incense/smudging trend."
Thanks for highlighting this issue 🙁 Sad times we live in! ❤️

RAMBLING TO MUCH, GET TO THE POINT

Want a picture book instead? if i remember correctly we learn stuff from others talking about it.
Shonte0 don't be so rude.You can always bugger off to another post.
I didn't find he rambled . Each thing he mentioned I wanted to know; what it is, what its used for, what it smells like, where's it from....
Please get to the point already
these things can't be rushed! ;)
Alright... cheers
Incense making isn't going to be for you... it requires care and patience at every level. If you can't make it thru this video you won't make it thru a batch of incense :)
