I came here after watching Ann Reardon’s video on the “how to cook that” channel on how this is killing people and the horrific injuries resulting from this…… don’t do it
Piss off...why aren't you Karens ranting about welding videos, where if you're not careful you can be killed by current/amperage high enough to melt metal? These devices output maybe 1 amp, and welders can output 40 to hundreds of amps. IMO, you people that don't know what you're talking about should just knock it off and go away.
@@mafurock33 you are being ridiculous. Report videos that show useful techniques. Are you afraid of everything? You do know fire in some form heats most homes. Life is dangerous. No one gets out alive. People like you are the reason there is a “do not eat” label on hemorrhoid ointment and such.
While there are some discussion online about Lichtenberg safety it should be noted that any craft work has safety concerns. Western society has become so risk averse that we are at risk of paralyzing industrial development in the west. Play at your own risk after studying relevant safety data and applying appropriate safe practices. Take responsibility for your own injuries.
Well said, my only input to the viewers is to use a recognized commercially available Lichtenberg burner and use the appropriate safety gear. Thanks for the comment @Astroponicist. regs Baz
Thanks so much for the appreciative comment, good luck with the burning. If you need any advice please don't hesitate to contact me, and I will steer you on the right path. Lots of great projects coming up utilizing the Lichtenberg burner, eg. pendants, etc. Best regards Baz.
Plywood, even laminate flooring wood if prepped and you wear respiratory protection due to fumes, hardwoods need soaking for longer in an electrolyte solution to work properly. I tend to use any wood i can get my hands on and approach with a trial and error method, I hope this helps
Yes you could theoretically do it but I don't believe it achieves much more than a single transformer machine. I've built a couple machines and they've all had the same outcome really, it's not worth the money for a second transformer
Videos like this should not be on TH-cam, even showing someone how to do this should be illegal, so many people have died. Reported for dangerous and harmful acts. I implore other viewers to do the same.
@@Personincrowd Yes, but a lot of people who does not work with electricity has tried this after seeing videos like this and there has been several deaths as a result.
Fantastic video, singing in the background made it difficult to hear at times and was distracting. I learned more off this video than anyone else. Thank you.
@cmack3625 - Its considerate and relevant feedback like this that makes it all worthwhile, promise all future videos will have minimal soundtracks, if any at all. Cheers and glad I could be of help. Regards Baz.
Hey Neo, Stay safe purchase a legit commercially available unit like I use, and be sensible with the way you protect yourself. Other than that enjoy the art!
What type of transformer did you use on that video, I have a neon sign, only getting short burns but with very fine detail like the burn you just achieved. Regs Dennis sth west rocks , NSW Australia
Hi Petra, if you have a look in the description of this video you'll get all the info you need. th-cam.com/video/eAu01ss1sdY/w-d-xo.html (Any probs let me know). All the best baz.
I dont see why I cannot just use my small stick welder to do the same thing... same concept right? ground and positive lead. just sharpen the positive stick in the stinger
I didnt figure it would work so I just went butcher block lol... i have a drawer full of microwave transformers that were removed at one time... but makes me nervous so I just didn't do it
Thanks Ash your feedback is appreciated, and thank you so much for subscribing, I hope I can only improve on what I am doing and bring you the type of content you want. Best regards Baz, and stay safe.
100% agree, early days listening to what others on youtube were spinning. All different from now on! Appreciate the watch and the unbiased comment. Regards Baz.
Should have been more specific. The music itself was fine it was the volume that kept fluctuating up and down and it made it hard to hear what you were saying.
The only reason I did not give it a thumbs up and subscribe is because the background music was covering up your voice it made it very difficult to listen to you, only made it halfway through and had to dump it sorry no offense intended. Beautiful work sorry I couldn't finish the video.
I'm conflicted with the store bought machines. I can't say with any authority since I've never used one but I have better luck and much safer with any of my 3 set-ups. Most people though just think it's a hobby. Nope! You're playing the game that physics makes the rules. Don't play by the rules... game over. No do overs. No warning shots
I am still concerned because this is dangerous. I ask that you watch this at least before you get started on this. th-cam.com/video/GZrynWtBDTE/w-d-xo.html
That's sad, he was probably using one of those modified microwave ovens or similar, The one I use and other commercial units are very safe! With all respect may he rest in peace! Regards Baz.
Heavens sakes people, if you are going to put instructional videos on TH-cam, please DO NOT have music in the background…great video but with my hearing i cannot understand half of what you were saying…
Could not watch because of the really obnoxious background music (noise), but i don't guess you can really call it background noise if it is louder than the narration, really pitiful!!
Loved the video.. I wish I could've heard what you had to say about it, but your shitty background music was too loud.. Keep the video, dump the loud music... ALSO, All these haters saying, "Don't do this" can F off.. Everything GREAT comes with risks. Those that get hurt, are just culling the herd.. For those that need a Disclaimer, "Don't eat the Suppository"
Agree, learnt a lot since then, on my defense I'm not a creative freak from Hollywood with 20 million on my productions, guess you get what you get, till we learn.
Just the simple fact that your holding the electrodes is poor safety measures. Try adding a wireless remote on/off switch. This will allow you to be a safe distance away and not risk shock. Also, he is not wearing any type of respirator from the toxins created from the burn itself. Stupidity for any person to take advice from a misleading video.

Same!! This is so dangerous...
What happens if someone reports these videos?
Piss off...why aren't you Karens ranting about welding videos, where if you're not careful you can be killed by current/amperage high enough to melt metal?

That cheezy music killed this one.
Agree totally, would take it down and replace with a new one but I need the hours of watch time. Thanks for the comment. Regs Baz
Why he has to have bloody music, God alone knows
The music is overwhelming aside from that great video
Cheers Nic904, and I totally agree, learned a lot since then. Hope too see you again. Baz
I truly appreciate your videos. I bought a Conestoga Works burner and built a table. I can't wait to use it. Thank you.

Wish there was a “Do not try this at home” disclaimer
Consider it done will put in the description. best regs Baz
If you use a transformer from a 700 watt microwave will you get more voltage from a 1000 watt microwave
What wood would you recommend to use?
Hi I get great results with Camphor Laurel, maybe Pine but not a great fan. thanks for the watch. Baz.

Can you put two transformers together for this
No idea sorry Dennis, I use a commercially available unit from Connestoga. thanks for watching.
Yes you could theoretically do it but I don't believe it achieves much more than a single transformer machine. I've built a couple machines and they've all had the same outcome really, it's not worth the money for a second transformer
Don't bother. They will never be even. One transformer will burn out.
The music in the background made it a bit harder to hear what was being said at times. Not a criticism. Just an observation.
Thanks Mary, will definitely take the comment on-board, and try to rectify that in the next video. All the best.

Crazy to think that this commenter is probably dead
Glad it was helpful!
Boo! Still here! Regs Baz.
Im new. I learned alot. Great job on videotape
He didn't make clear in this video how incredibly dangerous this can be. One small mistake and it can easily kill you, or at best maim you for life.
@@doffrell people who work with electricity already know this.
@@Personincrowd Yes, but a lot of people who does not work with electricity has tried this after seeing videos like this and there has been several deaths as a result.

A microwave
Take the transformer out

Use the same kind of what a great job! It was nice to see you didn't do an Overkill with the burn. Thank you
Thanks 👍 Sorry for the late reply
I dont know anything about this, can anyone tell me why it is dangerous??? (not because i will try, im afraid of electricity. But it looks Nice)
Your heart can stop beating with 10 milliamp of current. At 10,000 volts any shock can kill you
I dont see why I cannot just use my small stick welder to do the same thing... same concept right? ground and positive lead. just sharpen the positive stick in the stinger
Let me know if it works. I don't think the voltage will be high enough.
I didnt figure it would work so I just went butcher block lol... i have a drawer full of microwave transformers that were removed at one time... but makes me nervous so I just didn't do it
So helpful and incredibly clear/easy to understand! Love your videos!!

If you use common sense there will be no injuries. Also thank you for the video the only complaint would be the background music please no more
🤣
Thanks for the watch, and I agree with you. Won't happen in the future. Hope to see you around. Best regs Baz.
Cut out the music
Thanks for the feedback!

hey Hollis thanks for giving it a go, have learned a lot since then. Maybe I'll see you on another one. Regs Baz
1500 grit? Really that is not why you're getting the fine curling on the burn. It's all about the moisture and soak of the solution.
Not a criticism circular sanding on timber
