Build this Candle Holder

[@jbn0613]

Loved the process and the end result. I need a Dramamine after watching the footage though. Nice project. 👍🏼

[@timlarson7228]

Nicely done. Nicely designed. Ty for the great tutorial. (At times, I watched on 1/4 speed when I wanted more detail.)

[@rickvanhooren548]

very nice build...the finish is beautiful. I would suggest adding some glamour shots at the end to show off the finished product. Cheers from Ontario!

[@juliovillavicencio296]

I liked your work and it turned out very nice. I congratulate you. But I recommend that you do not pass your video so fast I get dizzy bye 😊

[@t2pt554]

As for the epoxy part, what I do is use epoxy paste. Spread the paste over and into the kerfs using a plastic mud knife. Bend it and clean out the excess. This makes the adhesion full and fills up all the spaces creating very solid joints. You can mix the epoxy paste with the wood dust that came off the kerfs so it blends better with the wood. You can also use the liquid epoxy as shown in the video but this may run out of the kerfs. Mixing it w the wood dust will minimize the runout.

[@reidh]

Great info and tips! Video was also quite good and easy to watch!

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Reid Holbert thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@Scott2148]

Great wood working, great project. Check out the Sydney to Hobart Race (Boxing Day every year from Sydney, Australia) your video technique had my stomach thinking it was in the race. Just a touch of my humour. All kudos to you and your work well done. I will now attempt this project.

[@AtticBuilds]

Great looking project, love the final result.

[@zohaibaslam7648]

It's awesome. A very unique idea...!!

[@369dusty]

Nice design !!

[@franka5416]

Nice project, it gave me some ideas for the future. It would've been nice to see one or two still shots at the end of the finished piece with the candles in place. Thanks for sharing.

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Farmercl's Woodshop you’re absolutely right. I’ll keep that in mind in the future. This was my first real attempt at a video. I need all the constructive criticism I can get!

[@TheBearGrylz]

Nice work. Nice shop. I subbed. Beautiful finished piece.

[@nwinburn]

Almost two an a half years latter, my head is still spinning, but it was worth it!!

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Lol. It’s like a roller coaster!

[@herrpauk]

What annoys me in DIY videos, that the thumbnail and even the end result can be appealing, but there is no finished, close up look. Why?? We want to admire the damn thing!

[@tfwoodcraft]

that table saw fence contraption looks pretty neato! does the Kerf bend have to be with hardwood?

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

No, the kerf bending could be done with plywood as well. Probably not possible with MDF, particleboard, etc however.

[@chrisdaniels9718]

Did the satin polyurethane hide the kerf cuts, or are they still noticeable

[@Sneaka_Freak2021]

Hey! Do you think edge banding it, instead of going thru all that bs with epoxy, would be alright? Maybe with some curly maple or purple heart to give it so contrast? What a beauty you have there. I wanna give this a try.

[@devin4560]

the "helmet cam" makes me nauseated. Should have put some tape extending above edge to build a dam and then pour resin into kerfs.

[@thatdiyguyraymondmonk1225]

This is an aftermarket fence? If so, Can you post a link where you bought it? Please

[@christinafox-sencaj1109]

Great concept.. Did you start in the middle of the board then do equal cuts on each side? I counted 25 cuts. How far apart are each cut? what is the expoxy brand you used tks greg...i tried a 3/4 in piece of oak before using good wood that was 24 inches in length. I was about 1/16 of inch from top with about 1/8 for each space. I believe you used 3/4 inch and 24 inches in length. when I counted the kerfs in your board it was about 25 so i figured mine would need the same amount. As i bent it after the 25 cut, the board barely made it around and cracked in the middle.. any suggestions? tks greg

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Honestly can’t remember the number of cuts but I believe the width between was right around 3/16”. I just start in the middle and start making cuts moving away from the center until it folds around the way I like. Epoxy was just basic table top epoxy from Lowe’s but there are a ton of options for that. The kerf of your saw blade and thickness of the material will determine the required number of cuts also. My board was 3/4 thick walnut. Oak would be tough to do this with because of how fiberous it is. Make all of your cuts then get a spray bottle of water and spray the side with no cuts then put a cotton cloth over the wet wood. Then run a hot clothes iron over it. This will put some steam into the wood making it more plyable. Now very slowly and carefully start bending it. If it sounds or feels like it’s going to break add more water and heat until it bends.

[@christinafox-sencaj1109]

Dairy Barn Woodworking ok good to know about oak. I really like the concept. Does the board need to be a minimum of 24 inches to work Like in your video.? My blade is 1/8 inch thick. What is the distance between each cut have to be? Tks

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Christina Fox-Sencaj there really is no set distance between the kerfs. The more space between the kerfs the larger the radius of the bend will be. Also there is no set length the board has to be. It’s all a matter of preference.

[@demetrioarenasmorales6332]

Q tal buen dia disculpa q tipo de madera usaste para este trabajo

[@TXstang347]

I liked the GoPro ride "through" the planer. How do you calculate where to start/end the kerf cuts to get the board to bend at a predetermined/desired mark? Say you want your bend to start at 7" from the end at a 90 degree angle where do you start/mid/end kerf cuts?

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

TXstang347 so you can absolutely do the math and I have done that on previous projects that made a complete circle but on something simple like this I just sort of wing it and make kerf cuts until I get the bend I want. Then I measure from the start of the cuts and make a cut then measure from the end of the kerf cuts and make that cut. Not sure if that makes sense or not.

[@TXstang347]

Dairy Barn Woodworking not exactly lol. My best guess on my first attempt I made 7 kerf cuts. The first 3 cuts below the point I wanted it to bend 90 degrees at and the last 3 cuts above the bend, but it's not quite bending where I'd like. Adding more cuts leaves a few on the ends with an open gap that serve no function and probably weakening the structure. Any ideas on spacing, depth or how many cuts to achieve a certain degree of bend? Like your trapezoid seems pretty precise. Was that just trial and error?

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

TXstang347 so let’s say you want to bend 3/4” material with an inside radius of 2 1/2” 90 degrees. What I do is make a drawing in sketchup. From the drawing I can measure the length of the inside arc from start of arc to end of arc then I measure the outside arc(which would have a radius of 3 1/4”) from start of arc to end of arc. Now take that outside arc length and subtract that inside arc length. This will tell you the amount of material you need to remove with kerf cuts so take that and divide by the thickness of your saw kerf which will give you the number of cuts required. Probably clear as mud 😀. Did you watch my other video on this? I think I explain it there.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. Are there species of wood which are not suitable to do kerf bending?

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

To my knowledge most woods kerf bend very well. I have not seen a wood that did not work well yet.

[@hansdegroot8549]

@@dairybarnwoodworking215 Thanks for your reply. I only have pine. I'll give it a try.

[@adamsimpson843]

Looks great. Not sure what I’m doing wrong, I did 24 kerf cuts 1/4” apart in 3/4” plywood and with pine with 1/8th left for thickness and I’ve had to soak it. Definitely did not bend like that

[@vikramkhaira7070able]

Grt build n u got a new subscriber!!!! i have a project whr i 've to kerf bend plywood , any tips ??

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

vikram khaira bending plywood is exactly the same really. My best recommendation would be to use good quality plywood like Baltic Birch. Thanks for watching!

[@rabiebay6603]

What kind of wood is this?

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Rabie Bay it’s walnut. Thanks for watching.

[@rabiebay6603]

Dairy Barn Woodworking 👍👍👍👍

[@dang6832]

Next time try milliput, it’s a clay like resin substitute. You fill the holes then sand when hardened. I think there is now white, black, and metallic looking. Could be more colors or I could be full of 💩. Give it a look see if you’re not aware. Im going to see if I can replicate this for my wife. Love it. I mat have commented before, but I gave it a second look.

[@dnavanlife5846]

Nice work but get a tripod for your camera

[@darrenwilliams324]

at the end was your camera attached to a wasp?

[@HS-yk9he]

Great job. Very informative. Only the camera movements made me dizzy

[@robheg100]

Great job! I noticed that drill press you used. I was thinking about getting a small Shop Fox. How do you like yours?

[@jacobmclellan6528]

Why’s everyone complaining... let the man do what he does best if it makes u feel sick why the hell r u watching it

[@celiasouzamuller]

Awesome ❤️❤️

[@dclinks]

i felt like throwing up :)

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Donald Cone part of me has thought about taking the video down because it’s made so many people nauseous. The other part of me is sadistic which is why it’s still up 😂

[@jacobhughes8648]

Hey man, did you use walnut plywood?

[@pumpkinscueball]

Hey man, did you watch the video?

[@matgggg55]

Great video love the content, one thing that would have made it more enjoyable , better lighting would bring this video to its full potential!

[@brycearmeni8508]

What wood are you using here?

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Bryce Armeni it’s walnut.

[@ShopSDB]

Nice video, don't see why anybody would give a thumbs-down. Curious how strong the bend is, after glueing. (something i will give a try too, probably). And like mentioned earlier, i was missing the end result, start looking at the beginning again, to see if i missed it :-)

[@tomspallone1868]

Maybe instead of resin, just fill the cuff ends with wood glue and sawdust from the wood. I think I’m going to try this and maybe I’ll record it.

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Tom Spallone awesome man. If you do let me know. I’d love to see it

[@smokineespitmastertips2739]

Great video. People need to lighten up, you're a professional wood worker not a cameraman.

[@marthamoreno8682]

I loved the candle holder. Are you planning to write the plans?

[@olegmishenko4201]

Прекрасная работа, но чуть не сташнило от стабилизации и ускорения)))))

[@kevinwillis6707]

2 suggestions , fill the voids with glue and sawdust instead of epoxy, and cut out the nausea inducing camera work, apart from that it looks great.

[@mstarfam6355]

Very nice looking holder. Two tips however. First, there are no pictures in the beginning or end to show off the piece. I would highly recommend some nice shots at the beginning. It drives me nuts when people try to make you wait till the end to see the finished piece. I usually skip those videos. Second, the bending wasn't very clear. Why did you fill in the epoxy from the ends and not just fill the slots from the open sides?

[@meljohansen8634]

Whoa, whoa, way too fast. How does the epoxy look exactly like the walnut?

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Mel Johansen yeah sorry my editing got a little fast there at the end. The epoxy is clear so it just takes on the color of the wood around it.

[@wolfgang4468]

Do you really think that epoxy is necessary with this?

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Wolfgang no. It’s not necessary at all. It was really just experimental. I was trying to make it look nice from the side instead of having open holes from the Kerfs.

[@strateanuandrei1]

just subscribed

[@AusMiner]

Love the project - hate the camera work.

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Yeah, sorry, it was an experiment that did not go well.

[@grayharwood]

loved the video. but why do creators NEVER show a stable picture of the finished item.It was manic at the end! My head hurts!

[@josearias8488]

[@standunitedorfall6394]

I was liking it until I got seasick from the camera jitters

[@patriciaarsenault6122]

Love this project .... but the shakey video made me dizzy 🥴

[@randallsteele2936]

Love the project. But couldn't watch it all because of camera. Wow feel sick at stomach.

[@deadzbrainz]

same here, the camera moving too fast make me wanna puke

[@cleo8215]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@m.santos1520]

It was a nice job but please, use steady camera shoots specially when you speed up some steps, it is annoying.

[@soosaisteven3984]

Your head cam caused me headache...!!

[@woodentoys4432]

Harika bir çalışma. Ama kamera yüzünden hala başım dönüyor 😜

[@kenshelton658]

Keep the camera still next time I did like the project and bending the wood without steaming

[@Arterexius]

Another tip which I haven't seen anyone else commenting, is you need to talk consistently in the same voice level. Your in-between mumbling makes it hard to follow you and makes you sound worse than you are. Don't mumble please. And as the others said, get a tripod for your general shots. If you need to move in close or do shots like the gopro on the planer, then look into gimbals. They make the camera stay steady when minor shaking occurs around it. They can also be made DIY, so you don't have to bust the bank on one. Also, you may want to look into Bent Lamination. It would make your project here easier to do

[@donweir928]

I have tried this several times now with no good results. With cutting the kerfs and leaving one sixteenth when I try to bend it breaks every time!! Your video needs to explain it better!!

[@renegadedug5372]

What he lacks in camerawork he makes up for in his woodworking

[@deaddadd]

With a nice workshop, $50K in tools and some know how, you too can build a candle holder.

[@pumpkinscueball]

You can get the same result with just a piece of 1x4 maple from Home Depot, a table saw, and an orbital sander. I don't know why you would need to joint, plane and dress all the sides when they aren't going to join to anything. It's like you don't need running shoes to run but it's nice when you have them.

[@johnmay3266]

nice project. Need to lose the helmet cam

[@RonDavidowicz]

Nice project, but I’m getting nauseous with the video.

[@alanthomas3865]

Place the camera somewhere that is STABLE. I was nearly 'sea sick' watching this, which is a pity because the item you made is attractive.

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Thank you Alan. It was an experiment that didn’t go well. I learned from my mistake though and my future videos are better. Please be sure to check them out if you have a chance.

[@markgaither5635]

wow dude slow down a little. You go too fast without explaining things and the fast motion along with the camera movement gave me motions sickness. Great project. Ill follow you if all your videos are shaky like this

[@jefflitchford1422]

This video is very hard to watch the way you fast forward .
