I Failed (But Still Had Fun)

You got a big dip in the middle cause it wasn’t insulated, and cools to fast, if you put it in a box with newspapers tightly packed around it won’t dip as much in the middle! Took me ages to work this out making candles 👍

You could use it for the part of ennard's body if you want

Hey 10 for the try !! It still looked cool 👍👍

can i please have those??👁👄👁

Nice experiment. Still looks good to me. Has some kind of rustic design.

I agree with your idea of showing us your failures otherwise we will think The Duke is perfect! Love the concept and look forward to seeing what it is that you're actually trying to produce xx

Bobby, Did you ever make the heart one? Unable to find it if you did. Still enjoyed this video.

You´re my idol, in the good and the bad.

Show us everything if you love us

The "donut wrapping" is the first half of the method I use to make pom-pom balls out of yarn for winter hats. It's a tedious process that takes waaayyy too many layers to properly make, but it is worth it once complete.

Now what you should have said "some may call this a fail but some may call it rustic"... Art is always in the eye of the bewildered...😅 Have a magikal weekend my lovelies... 💫🎨✏🤪🖍🎨💫

Pillar candles are all made over seas with super duper cheap paraffin wax dipped in slightly better wax...hence the garbage in the middle! Wax also creates a gas when the crystal structures form as it hardens which causes the dip

how about wire over polystyrene head then use acetone to removed polystyrene...

A big thumbs up Bobby D I'm liking the fact a few of my favourite USmuchsrs are posting some fails lately I think that helps encourage or give people the confidence in trying new things themselves without being to afraid of failure

Late but guess you have a new steel wool (copper wool)

Maybe that can be part of a resin like project

3:04 yeah Bobby it happens to me to be cause I make candles

Art is when even our fails are creative and cool.

You know that they sell pure wax (bee’s, paraffin) by the slab, don’t you, Bobby? Also, that cheap craft wire isn’t going to work either. Maybe try copper, because you’ll get some nifty (i.e. desirable) discoloration with the torch. Also, you’ll need to work-harden the wire to prevent it from just going limp. But to be honest - and I’m a jeweler - this is an idea with a lot of problems to overcome.

YOU STOLE STEVE MOULD'S OUTRO MUSIC

Inside wax has a different melting point. They are display candles made to refil

Fire muffin

My dad makes candles and when the wax dries in the big vats he uses to store it theres holes that you can put your hole arm into in the middle, also dont try that before the wax dries, I have and it sucks a lot.

1:35 PEACHES COME FROM A CAN! THEY WERE PUT THERE BY A MAN IN A FACTORY DOWNTOWN!!

I like your work so much and you inspired me to do many curving And small advice bro for the copper wire .... nèed To heat it and stretch it first then it will be easy to form it ... Good luck next time and huge like to your work👍👍👍

Lol been there done that! Shit happens... what about plaster that would dissolve in water

I love it when you do ex-spearmints!

That looks neat, I’m sure it could be utilised for something.

Loved this

Slow heat on it instead of a blow torch.

Hey Bobby you did great really but if you went in and out like you were selling something all around nose rings it would stay together a heck of a lot better so do the thing with the copper like you did but with the silver take like a needle like probably one of those round kind of needles you know that they use the Cobblers use and go in and out about every four threads rings that you put on going in and out all the way around and it will stay together I've done it with actual wire I sent it with leather so I know that it will stay together all right please take care and God bless I love watching what you would do it's great can't wait to see the next one

Its ok at least you tried. Keep trying.

It's still kinda cool, Bobby!

Why not use glue

There is no failure just happy little accidents

That was like the coolest neverending slinky

Habló español pero no me importa aún así veo tus videos

Excuse me sir... you dont need diet dr thunder...

They fill the mould with those granules of wax and heat up the outside to fuse it together to make it using a lot less energy than if you poured it and it holds its shape instead of getting a divet in the top

What do you taste like I taste like wewd I had spaghetti for dinner

Melt the wax in hot water and it should be fine! Aldo always melt wax in a pan sitting in boiling water or avocet it like a water bath. Safety fist people.

It's good to see the human side! My wife lives with failure every day ... so she tells me ... Am I missing something? Oh! You could try weaving the two wires together, too, as opposed to just wrapping them.

something out of nitinol using a technique like this it would be super cool (you could squish it and it would go back to normal with a little heat)

put the coil in resin

what about the heart

I think this video is important

Y so many clamps in one sentence? Just wondering =P

My grandma is a scrap metal collector and she gave me Cooper and I made Ring's it's fun

..I would probably have filled the hole with more wax until it was one solid thing without holes 😹😹😹

It failed because he used a torch to that also burned the wire. He could have used 2 or 3 hot air dryers to melt the wax without burning the wire.

his fail is one of my best attempts lol

I think not a hundred percent sure but they might make wax specifically for this

Dr. Thunder

To melt the wax, simply put it in boiling water.

It's interesting to see the wax melt away🙃

I love da donut

U really sound so similar to Scotty Sire

“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” -Walt Disney It's not a failure of you learn from it, or if you give up!! "Keep Moving Forward"

Instead of using fire to melt the wax, try boiling it... Won't damage the wire.

I’m a bit late but maybe someone already had this idea but take a look at 3D printing and if you print a doughnut in Pva. Why pva because it disolves in water. I’m not a metal expert but yeah i should say try it out 3D printers got really cheap. Greetings from Belgium🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

2019?

3:00 How to build a flashlight

It’s a metal butthole.

Mmmmmmmm...donuts.

Love seeing "fail" videos. So important for those of us who are artists to see the imperfect side of Bobby Duke.

maybe try ice?

Good idea i think it could work

This is awesome! I was one given the opportunity to “draw” with fire. We used a metal hood and magnets to stick paper to the roof of it, then held up a lighter to the paper. The smoke made really cool patterns, and it just sounded like something you’d do!

Haven’t seen the heart-video in your list yet. 🤔 Or am I just blind?

New to your inspirations. Question. Looks like in your early days you used the scroll saw to cut most materials. Then you got that awesome bandsaw. Is this correct?

Hey bobby! Candles can be really tricky to work with, great attempt!

Maby try ICE? So like it melts in its own and the Metal ist Harder because it is Frozen?

Someone probably already said this but if you rape the wire around a pencil or something a bit larger them bend it in to around shape and join the ends with a wire rape in a large gage.

you 're very talented and funny. 😉

Hey, Bobby. I am sure someone has probably already said it, but to remove the wax and not mess up your piece. You should use hot water. It was a great idea and would have worked out good though. I really like your channel and love watching you create. You're funny at times too.. LOL Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what you will make next.

I'm disapointed

I think it looks amazing

Try using a heat gun instead of the torch

Quick tip for future attempts dont use copper becuase it conducts heat much and catches fire

I've made my own candles and i just can't work out how that hole happened 😂

4:36 - 4:38 but it on 0,25 speed It kinda sounds like a car going on a racetrack😂

You should of put it over hot water

Looks like a dukey 💩will come out of that wire donut 😂🤣

if i were you, I would've filled the hole with more wax.

It's a burnt metal butthole! Beautiful!

should hv melted in hot water👍

Cool I love your Creations

Dude. What if you try melting the wax by dumping it in super hot water?

Do you get your stuff from the art store, Michaels?? Cuz I work there, and we sell all of those things. 😂

I know its not what you were aiming for but it's still hella cool

Okay i know im late but dude, all ya need is a thicker wire! After that, regurarly heat it to make it shapeable (heat till it get's cherry red and then wait for it to turn back normal and shape with jewelery pliers) and then just heat it all at once, cool it (it becomes more solid that way), throw it in the pickling solution, leave for 20 minutes and boom, jewelery.

Wouldn't a heat gun be better?

Well A for effort and I think it didn't look bad at all in the end....I'm not sure what you were trying to do. 👍

You could've just spray painted it to get the nice color back

I think that if you just spray painted it it would look good cus other then the color I think it looked good 🙂

*who doesn't like to play with fire*

This video will serve as a reminder for future generations that peaches come in a can

Cade os br daki???

It kinda looks alright, why didn't you just sand the candle in the first place though

If you are not failing you are not learning. Keep on learning Bobby.
