    Hello!!! I don't know if this channel is active still but I wanted to ask if you had experience with or know if it is possible to make varnish out of other precious resins. Specifically I am interested in doing frankincense, myrrrh, or a combination of the two! I know that it must be possible but the one book that contains a myrrh recipe is from the 30's and I can only find one copy in German, haha. I tried to send you an email to ask but it looks like that mailbox has been closed down. Regardless, I love your content and it's so cool the information you are sharing with folks! What a beautiful and historical hobby!

    My dear friend, why not use the modern glass chemistry bits to assemble a still? There's no contamination from the copper that way and you don't loose anything. I think the Liebig condenser is the easiest, you just need to get a pump for a fish tank or such to pump water through the outside (to keep it cool) and then I think you'll need the flask and the angle fitting.

    Very resourseful! Your varnish looks really good. Hope she will dry nice and hard for you. Just a suggestion you might try amber. Yes it is very expensive but may yield superior hardness. Ive never tryed disolving amber in acetone. Wonder if that might work? Whatever you do dont boil turpentine it will explode!. Its easyier to just get artist grade turpentine and use that. I have used clear fingernail polish full strength and used it to varnish my carved bridge. It works suprisingly well. I have been using it for 3 months and it resists being cut into by the strings. Im pretty satisfyed with clear nail polish as a varnish for violin bridges. I suppose one could varnish an entire violin with nail polish but you would need really good ventilatiom. Hope this helps. Your redwood violin sounds wonderful I remember when you had the lady play it! Bye for now.

    The Teapot is the most effective IMO but lacks only One section about 6" back from the pipe exit that slides through two holes in a metal bucket that is then filled with cold water and/or ice so that condensation happens more quickly. Great vid nonetheless¬!

    Most of the turpins have evaporated from the rosin you are using. Using fresh gum rosin would be much more productive. th-cam.com/video/QzNxPY3ewas/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4OHrY8wCQEWOaq0r

  • @robtwizelcleary8344
    @robtwizelcleary8344 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Commercial resin already has the turpentine removed as it's a by product of that process. Dry resin has virtually no water content to carry the turps hence why you get not much activity from that. Add distilled water to drier sap and it will hugely increase your yield. Also extracting to a gravy separator jug allows the water to be poured off the turps once settled. Ideally using runny resin fresh from a pine is what is best. Search commercial turpentine production videos from the USA and it shows the process better. Nothing like pottering away in the shed tho! Loving the experimentation :)

    There are archive videos from 19c. You can't distil what isn't there in dried old crud. Right tree, right time, right country, right method. All the details are available including temperatures. It was a hard job for poor workers. Go find out.

    when making varnish they use amber what is resin from pine trees just older i kinda want to think if you processed tree sap into amber by cooking and cleaning it and allowing it to cool it would be the same thing . how ever im off track . when you make the varnish you have to use oil why not use the pine oil . im sure you could run it through a cheese cloth or cotton t shirt to clean up the brown and clear it up if you wanted to . or even run it through some activated charcoal . but hey very interesting and would love to see varnish made from tree sap . as im almost sure that Stradivarius and armada did not order it off line . be safe when using these methods very dangerous . your hillbilly still is a winner . but in order to keep it from contamination it really need to be made of glass . good luck with that . kinda makes sense why clear varnish was hard to get back in the day . but then again maybe if you let it sit for a while it will clear up on its own . all the contaminates might sink to the bottom .lol dint realize this was two years old my bad .
