Recycled dead tree into a Candle Holder, quick DIY project

[@arnoldguzman7935]

I almost finish my working hour watching ur videos...anyway u desrved it. now i can collect all the bottles here in my place.

[@annieforpeace2]

Great idea! Very well done! I would have never thought to add the wire to hold the bark. I have some copper wire that I think would look nice as a contrasting color. The bent metal looks great for the legs. Love the whole design !!! Thanks for posting and for the inspiration !!

[@saeidmomtahan]

Thank you very much Anne, I appreciate it Saeid

[@terecastillo9733]

Thank you for the idea. I like ike especially because there's no welding and it seems so easy to make. I live by a dried up riverbed and there's plenty of free wood out there. Great idea to start making now for Christmas presents!

[@catherinecrafts]

Fantastic idea on how to make the stand. Thank you for sharing your design.

[@ALResale]

Thank you so much for your video's :) You are so creative, and helped me figure out what to do with some of my trees that have gone down due to a storm, and beetles. You rock and keep rocking on!!

[@saeidmomtahan]

Hi A&L. Thank you so much for your kind comment. Please check back tomorrow nite. I will be uploading a little video on something I made with a chopped off tree. Saeid

[@TheApache2lives]

Beautiful Saeid, it,s good when it comes from the mind.

[@QueenSilverChalice]

Very creative and rustic!! Amazing work!! wow

[@freewoodencrosses]

I like the rustic form...Good job

[@gardone826]

First of all well done, i really like your idea..if maybe i can give my small suggestion for others who surely are going to be making one for themselves, i found that a hinge drilling bit or a wide enough forster drill bit to make a better job of making the holes :)

[@ritasenergyherbs3650]

great tip...I just harvested some down birch fresh off a tree. Plan to cut to size, dry on low temp in my oven. I do have Forstner bits I can use.

[@prolibra72]

very neat and simple idea

[@arnoldguzman7935]

too cool and useful...great job sir.

[@elizarraras123456]

Awesome vid. So cute!

[@saeidmomtahan]

Thanks Ana, Saeid

[@brianknowles7130]

Nice one. Before trying to cut a circle into bark for t lights, use a chisel to gentlypress into the edge of the circle and slowly chisel / lever it out. Saves the bark flying offfrom the areas that you want to keep it.Thks

[@saeidmomtahan]

+Brian Knowles That's good advice, thanks!

[@FloridasCracker]

Great video !!! Thanks again!

[@lolalalo2857]

BEAUTIFUL, Saeid!

[@saeidmomtahan]

Thanks!

[@TheCajunbrazin]

Very resourceful ! Looks great .

[@saeidmomtahan]

Thanks very much. SAeid

[@galady8632]

Great concept. Simple yet lovely and useful. I might make a few of these as gifts.If you decide to seal the bark you might want to consider - first allowing the wood to dry completely, fewer future issues with shrinkage and distortion. Second use with a PVC glue (white school glue, Elmer's, etc), or even water-based Varathane or other similar products. I would recommend several coats of the latter. It is available in several finishes and great for many surfaces. I know someone that made a votive holder from uncured wood, he coated it in resin. It was stunning. Beyond awesome. However, the resin he selected was not compatible with open flames. Between the wood changing a bit as it cured and open flames near resin - he had a small house fire. I work with resin in other applications but never near flames.

[@saeidmomtahan]

+faye austin Thanks fr the pointers Faye. Will have to try that the next time. Saeid

Awesome stuff SAeid! You inspire me to make more! I have access to all the tools you use and all materials... I've just never really though about making cool things!

[@saeidmomtahan]

So what you're waiting for?? Get out there and start making stuff. It's an incredible feeling when you work with Metal, Wood or Glass. SAeid

[@johnnybstuddd4482]

Awesome, I want to make that.

[@thegirlbehindtheface3276]

Great! I've been wondering how to do metal legs. Now I can. Thanks Saeid

[@saeidmomtahan]

+Rog Thomas You're welcome Rog

[@ManurodOne]

Great idea with Awesome end result.... What kind of metal you use for bending ?

[@ginam8955]

What type of metal for the legs?

[@ConfusionWood]

great idea:D

[@ingewinbigler8225]

Wow love it

[@BrentDaughertyMe]

What is that meta called? Seems to bend easily enough. A brass or copper rod would look great too.

[@luisgoldo276]

real nice!

[@walaa3719]

You have to brush it with white glue for wood it will be shine and stick the outer parts together

[@saeidmomtahan]

THat's a great idea WIaa. Thanks! Saeid

[@TrailWright]

O.k. very nice but you neglected to mention what the last metal you bent was.....

[@GospelTruth37059]

put some maple leafs on it and it will be beautiful!

[@loriisom4533]

Awesomeness!

[@reginaldtaylor9035]

Great idea! what kind of wire and metal to make the legs that you used?

[@saeidmomtahan]

+REGINALD TAYLOR I used Mild Steel

[@Loving_Awareness_888]

Making something similar, how do you prevent decay?

[@saeidmomtahan]

Keep it indoors

[@MuzMUX]

cool idea

[@evandh2000]

How did you get the stand to stay still.

[@markvalenzia1668]

What type of metal and thickness are you using. I tried bending it like this but my metal was really hard to do?

[@Jinkinsonsasa]

Nice!

[@daddy9minnich777]

Hi Saeid, Can I ask where you bought the metal for this project? Thanks very much...very creative.

[@saeidmomtahan]

Hi. I did this project in Iran, so that's where I got the wires from. But you can look for them in Hardware shops. THey are 'Tie Wires' and are used for roofing, gardening, etc. They are Mild Steel and easily bendable by hand. TY Saeid

[@daddy9minnich777]

Saeid Momtahan Thank you, Saeid!

[@shirleyflores5242]

where do you get the metal at that you used and what is the gauge that your using

[@saeidmomtahan]

I get the metal in Iran. If you live in the US look in Home and Garden shops. Ask around I'm sure you'll find something similar TY Saeid

[@johnturner5753]

Awesome

[@saeidmomtahan]

Thank you John Saeid

[@itsspookytime5586]

Dude how what tool did u use to hallow out the wood

[@saeidmomtahan]

Thanks! It's Mild Steel

[@emrek000]

thank you!

[@saeidmomtahan]

YOu're welcome SAeid

[@chaimlevi7889]

nice

[@brucemarchettapcma6765]

With all due respect...fire hazard with those candles burning low. Or what is you solution? Learning @ 79YO. bruce

[@saeidmomtahan]

+Bruce Marchetta PCMA Bruce, the candles are all in aluminum cups. They are called tea lights. So no hazard

[@neilsinclair343]

I thought it was a OK video 😂

[@keliweisgerber3896]

My works too. Used woodprix handbooks and build it with no problems.

[@artemlebedev6297]

I am so sure that you will find good way to make it on woodprix.

[@shantaymadison5581]

You can make it yourself, just loook and learn from woodprix.

[@callahamsepe4517]

You can learn more about it on woodprix website I think.

[@tomekapompey563]

Im sure you can build it too guys. Just look for WoodPrix page

[@doylemetzinger1774]

I'll make it myself. Just got instructions from WoodPrix website and I'm ready to do it :D

[@hemakoushi2211]

Thanks for the video, I did get a small detail that I was thinking about the other day. I still haven't begun with Woddy Hyezmar's book yet, though he is still giving his "Woodworking Bible" away, google him.

[@jarredt2655]
