[@ubot982]

thanks for showing your fails, it makes me feel better about my projects.

[@BuildDadBuild]

LOL. It should. Show me anyone in the shop that isn't making mistakes...and I'll show you someone that's full of shhhhh...

[@colbyrencher8515]

I really like that you show your mistakes and that you're just a normal guy and not some master class I never make mistakes Ahole. You rock brother keep it up

Thanks man. That means a lot. That's kinda the point! I'm glad you get it.

[@cesarbejarano7363]

Awesome projects! Thank you.

[@johnturner5753]

I have made several candle holders and planters and a drill press would be your best friend. Not only does a drill press make for better drilling, they speed up your work considerably. Cool vid!

[@BuildDadBuild]

Thanks man! And drill press is definitely on the list! Cheers! 👍🥃👍🥃👍🥃

[@li-anderker55]

LOL!! This is so how I do things. I usually end up with a winter's worth of kindling with my projects. But in the end, I do end up with some cool shtuff. You've given me a great idea for the material I have. Time to have fun!

[@BuildDadBuild]

Sweet! Time to rock n roll!

[@troywilburn9147]

On the forstner bits, the slower you drill the better. I use them on my lathe and have it turned down to around 100 rpm’s and get long continuous ribbon shavings. I know you don’t have one, but go grab a cheap drill press from harbor freight. You can pick up a pretty nice one for under $100, even less with a coupon. I’ve been using one for a few years now that I spent like $70 on. They’re great for what you and I are doing where you don’t have to be precise down to the .001’s. You’ll be glad you did when you do. Makes life much easier. Love your creations, brother. Most all are pure art. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Thanks for the love, brother. And the advice. I was holding off on a drill press until after Christmas. Somehow I wound up with an over abundance of new saws! Cheers! 👍🥃👍🥃

If you start the Fostner bit spinning backwards, it gouges out the perimeter of the hole you wish to drill, thus reducing chipping. I learned this trick recently from another content creator. Thank you for sharing your projects.

[@Devin292]

Awesome project. Fire is good

[@BuildDadBuild]

Thank you. And yes...yes it is.

[@jellyg.8961]

Another good reason to drill the holes before burning: the wood will seal better so water, in the case of the planters, will not sip into the wood. Also, before pulling the trigger on a drill press I recommend you guys to search on pinterest for homemade/diy drill presses, there are a lot of good ones over there super easy and cheap to make. I made one using a piece of 4x4 about 7 inches long I had laying around, a piece of 2x4 put on top of it (basically forming a T), some pieces of 1x3 to form a cradle for the drill to sit in and for strengthening the back of the T and a rail from some cabinet that was thrown away. The rail sits on top of the T, the cradle attaches to it and then you adjust the drill for the correct 90deg angle and height before securing it. Really easy to make and all materials were scrap laying around.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Great advice. Thank you!

[@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman]

I have made the same candle holders and used my Drill Press with Forstner bits and that worked wonders. Awesome video man!!!

[@BuildDadBuild]

Thanks, brother! And ahhhh yes....one day I'll grow up and own a drill press. 2 things that would make my life easier: a drill press and a bandsaw! Cheers!👍🥃👍🥃👍🥃

[@evilcartmensolo7198]

Those skulls look like a alter to general grevious. When those embers were glowing it would be cool to match that light and dark color. Dont know if you can 2 tone with those stains and have it look good but if so can you do a vid showing what works and what dont . Cool ideas.

Dude..! You always inspire me, but this time you just plain beat me to it. I've been experimentin' with some cool stains, over here in the UK, so will let you know how my candle holders turn out... For the Forstner bits, you need a bench drill press runnin' at a slower rpm. Usin' a hand power drill [as you found out] is way too troublesome...

[@diy-mitri9737]

It's already been mentioned a few times, but it's time for a shop upgrade my man. A drill press will open up a variety of things that you didn't even think you were missing. Do not waste your time with a cheap Harbor Freight bench top like I did for half a day. It cost me 70ish bucks and just wasn't doing the job. The next morning I hit up an estate sale and found a nice half inch floor model. It's older than I am... but it puts in some serious work for me. Also... The skulls are now just little ghosts. Or spirits. Either way, it's seriously cool. Keep that thing like a trophy. Definitely do a coaster video. I watch all of your videos and draw inspiration for things I sell at craft fairs. Keep the goods coming bro! Including the failures... so many of us have tweaked wrists from forstners in a hand drill. maybe this prevented that for someone.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Hey brother! Thanks for the insight. Believe me a drill press is on the list! I'm fairly positive a drill press and band saw would make my life leaps and bounds better. So, I'm definitely keeping an eye out. And the skulls...they're sitting in my office! Stay tuned for the coaster vid...should be out in 2 weeks barring any catastrophic failures! Cheers! 👍🥃👍🥃👍🥃

[@BuildDadBuild]

Two words: "I don't have one, nor can I afford one.👍" Adding the detail after the initial burn is not a bad idea. Burnt Cedar and Polar here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqCliKOFr6yAjsU

Could you put some of the detail back in after the brushing? And they have carving block that show steps on carving symmetrical face.

[@BuildDadBuild]

The problem with doing detail after you brush is the surface is SUPER uneven after you remove the material in between the grain.

[@fredwest3347]

What are you using to knock off the char? I have yet to burn something as dark as your doing, my wife and I just do some charred projects as our hobby time together, but the first time she charred something and tried to sand when it didnt work as she hoped it just kind of smudged it everywhere and didnt really sand it. But you seem to be successful knocking down heavy char (almost full burn) down to about the perfect grainy look. I know it was time lapsed a bit but how much time would you say it took, and what tools did you use to go from black and cracking to perfectly charred grain lines?

[@BuildDadBuild]

I use Dico brushes (that fit a normal drill): amzn.to/2Yq3akF It only takes a couple of minutes to knock off the char, the video is sped up to show more of the process. Looks like Dico has some new brushes that I haven't tried, but will be checking out soon! amzn.to/34Pndv6 Does that answer your questions?

[@fredwest3347]

Absolutely! Thank you so much for the fun videos, and the fast response. Tells how much the fans mean to you as well. Keep em coming!

[@TravisInCanada1]

Nick have you tried burning something after you dye it? Or burn less and not sand than seal the burn with a poly? Could be interesting. I would burn a dark candle and let wax drip down over/around those skulls, like an old movie prop.
