Thank you for using beeswax instead of pine pitch. Pine pitch makes the water taste like turpentine. Pine pitch is not brewer's pitch as others have claimed. I have never been able to find a source for actual Brewer's pitch. I use beeswax inside my gourd canteens, and it works fine with no bad taste.
Townsends has Brewers Pitch
@@ferrarifly They sent me pine pitch years ago claiming it was brewer's pitch.
@@robertrobert7924 well I’m glad I never ordered any
The only issue I've found with the wax is having it crack and flake off due to fluctuations in the temperature.
@@Ianbond21 That will happen. Usually not a problem in warm weather. I used to primitive camp @Ft. Frederick, MD during the full moon in early April. The temperature could be 90 F during the day and 25 F at night. I had to rescue a newbie one morning who only brought 2 surplus Army blankets to sleep on the ground with.
He had hypothermia really bad. I wrapped him up in one of my 4 point trade blankets and gave him some hot coffee next to my campfire.
I made such bottles 14 years ago and noticed the following. You should definitely add 1/3 carnauba wax to the beeswax. This makes the bottles even more stable. Greatings from Germany
Agreed
Hallo from Vienna Austria 🇦🇹!
hello :D!
Such a fun project! beautifully made
thank you
Very nice! Thanks for inspiration 🙂, subscribe.
If i would suggest little tip, glue some leather scraps to wood pony holder. it mainly prevent from scratching leather by wood.
Your welcome friend😃! Thats a really good idea, i will do that 😃!
very good job sir that liquid puts you inside. I congratulate you
thank you :D!
That turned out quite nice!
thank you :D
Nice! Great job! I wonder if you can make a cork in the form of a cup, it will be convenient?
Thats a idea! 😃

Thank you 😃
Keeping the pith is a mistake. Next time, splitting a large piece into quarters Ans shaping will avoid issues as the wood dries.
Thank you!! 🙂
Your Welcome 😃
Hello, your videos are very good, I wanted to know what is the liquid that you used inside the vessel? greetings from Patagonia Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
thank you so much :D! it is beeswax my friend :D!
Well done
thank you brother:D!
at first i thought you where cooking yourself some pasta meanwhile haha
haha yearh it looks like it :D!
Never seen one of them before but dang i like it plenty.
Thank you 😄
Cool project. Thanx!
What kind of wax did you used, bee or carnauba? What's about adding an hardening oil like walnut? Could it possibly higher the flexibility?
Thank you 😃, ive only ever did it whit beeswax 😄
Con qué impermeabilizas por dentro?
Por que metes la pieza al horno ?
i use beeswax to seal it :D!
i put it in the oven to heat up the leather so mit will soak up the beeswax :D
Seems it could have been stretched further. Why not bring the carrier cord up between the layers, thus balancing it straight up?
great video thanks for sharing. I saw coop popcorn, so assuming ur Norwegian, does the seasons effect the wax. Have a great day :)
wouldn't using the leather dye contaminate the inside and therefore the water while it is stored inside? 🤔
i dont think so :D! the inside is sealed whit beeswax so the ater is never in contact whit the leather :D!
Very cool, I want to try this now. What temperature did you bake it at in the oven? And did you use any kind of finish on the exterior after dying it?
Thank you , put it in the oven at 50 Celcius to warm the leather so it would soak the beeswax 😃, and I dident use no finish 😃

Ca c 'est génial il faut que je m 'en trouve une .
merci :D
what weight of leather did you use for this project?. Really enjoyed watching.
thank you :D i dont know what weight , but the leather was 2,5 mm thick :D
Help the Cat, this is the main thing in the work!
yearh he need a winter jacket :P!
Hello! I just have a handful of questions:
How long did you let the leather soak in the water bucket?
When you put the leather inside the oven, what temperature did you set it to and how long was it in there for?
What temperature did you heat the beeswax to?
How much beeswax did you use?
For how long to let leather be soaked in water, not long. I do leather work, and I just do a dunk or two. Sometimes I just run it under the faucet. Veg tan leather is really dry so it will soak it up quick. From what I have learned, because I want to make these also, is to use "veg tan" leather only. Don't use other types of leather because they have different types of chemicals in them to be treated with. As for the other two questions I watched "the bearded hobbit" and he goes through them with you, its about 3 videos long. Hope this helps.
@@thequietshodan You're a lifesaver! Thank you so much
hello :D! i just soak it in the water for 5 minutes and put it in the oven at 70 degrees celsius until the wax melted. I heated the beeswax until it melted as well, i did not use very much, hope it helps :D
Can you share what that is you sealed the leather with? wax or some sort of resin? And what is the thickness of the leather you working with?
Iam using pure beeswax😄🐝, and the leather is 2,2 mm thick 😃
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻........
Thank you 😃!
Fb stopped comments. But thanks . I needed a easy project to build and want one really bad. - would waxing b4 sewing also be effective?
- beeswax?
- glue edges?
Your Welcome😃! I would recomend sewing and gluing the edge before using the beeswax 😃🐝
@@zakisworkshop ok. Just making sure it was beeswax by itself you used. Seen others use pitch
I made one a few years ago and it ended up leaking 😕. You glued yours which is something I didn't do. Is that what prevents it from leaking?
If you have sticthed it Very hard you dont need glue 😃 , did you Remember to line it whit beeswax 😃?
Well here's the thing I stitched it pretty well I thought. And I did line it with beeswax. But then when that one didn't work my mentor bought me one from overseas and that one actually leaked to. Despite me being very careful and keeping it out of warm places.
Thats sounds strange, the one ive made still holds water so maby it was Something to do whit the glue 🙂
if you put alcohol in there would it affect the bees wax?
I make drinking horns using beeswax to line the insides, Beeswax takes very well to beer and wine I've found but I wouldnt recommend hard alchohol personally. I'd use food grade resin instead if thats your aim but honestly metal flasks are just better for long term use. Because canteens tend to be fairly tougher to clean I'd also recommend do what they did historically and make 2, one for booze and one for water. Hope that helps!
How much would you sell me one of these for
if you want me to make you one :D! send me and email at zaki.workshop@gmail.com, then we can talk price my friend :D
Could someone help me out with what glue I need to be useing
Leather workers’ Cement is PVA which remains flexible after drying, but costs 3-10 times more than normal PVA.
If you are a woodworker, use whatever wood glue you have. It is very effective, so long as you abrade the surfaces of the flesh side, so the glue can soak in.
If you want to use a contact adhesive like in this video, let it fully dry, then hammer it. This is what Cobblers use. It is very strong, but not really necessary if you’re going to stitch through it. I’ve used all sorts in my leatherwork. Even double sided sticky tape. But that’s not good for sewing through.
That’s my pennyworth! You really can take your pick, and as a very wise source once told me ‘Use what you’ve got’.
can I use pieces of lather clothing for tis?
i have never tried it, it depends on how thick the leather is. The leather i am using in the video is 2,2 mm thick :D
How think of leather would you recommend?
2,5 mm thick :D
5 oz. Is what I use
@@wareagle3064 are you a leathercrafter?? Where are you. Auburn??
Hey a cat :3
😁🐱
What kind of glue did you use?
i used leather glue 😃
@@zakisworkshop there are more then one kind of glue usable for leather. I used polychloropren glue (it is called "88-th" or "Nairit" in Ukraine) and poliurethan glue or "Desmokol" . They are both basicly some kind of plastic dissolved in aceton or ethilacetate. And both are toxic. If you expose them to hot vax i have no idea how any of those going to react. Heat make them melt and not hold glued parts together animore. One of my friend is using water based glue for leather, but I find it's smell so bad, I dont use it and do not know it's features. And that green substance you are using, it is first tine I see it.
You have a furry 'helper'
Yes he is Very cute 😃
What's the length and width
25cm lengh 15 cm wide ;D
