Please! Be careful Nick! Mixing bleach and vinegar creates potentially lethal chlorine gas! ☠️⚠️
Makers Central only for cells phone app.? , i use a desk top. will this be available soon.? 🥰
Try brushing the gold leaf with a mixture of 8 parts hydrogen peroxide to 1 part distilled vinegar also add table salt like you would making salt water. Just spray or brush it on and see if that changes it. It'll rust steel so keep away from things you don't want rust on.
@@BrockGrimes please be careful with that mixture too, it makes peracetic acid ⚠️
If ANY company on the damn planet can come out with clippers that can sheer the steel wire that is my facial hair on top of my annoyingly soft sensitive baby skin that is my face, without causing my face to grind up like hamburger, or drag the hair from my skin in painful tuggs that rip open holes in my face, lemme know! I'll be a customer for life, maybe even worship the damn COM and invest in it so i can keep the thing in business. Until then Beard city. I've tried so many brands i gave up shaving and just rock the lumberjack look. 🤷♂ i'm not patchy beard, i'm more of a wolfman beard. It will stay that way until Magic is created. -_- i would love to be clean shaven without feeling like i was skinned for leather.
As a chemist I looked into it. The reaction of gold in Bleach is facilitated by the addition of hydrochloric acid. To perform the reaction by bleach alone you would need to add a bleach solution that is a whopping 86.9% bleach by weight. Household bleach is generally about 5.25% bleach by weight. This means you need to be adding approximately 26.25 mL of bleach per gram of gold in order to facilitate the full reaction. So that thin coating from your brush probably wasn't enough.
I can't speak to how much bleach you'd need for this, but as a former retail jewelry salesperson, I can tell you that even the bleach in *pool water is enough to damage gold jewelry*. Over 2 years I knew 5 instances when we had jewelry come in for repair that it cracked or shattered (once in the store SPECTACULARLY!) 2 were part time swim instructors, one was a life guard, and 2 were or had been waitresses (bleach water to clean the tables).
One of the swim instructors was a female version of Mr T and her necklaces were constantly snapping, some of her chains had 4 and 5 fixes but she wasn't about to take them off for even an hour. The others were all rings, including a former waitress who had just came to work in our store and during an in store event was having her engagement ring re-made (her fiancee had proposed with his grandmother's solitaire, the ring itself was too big and she wanted something that didn't stick up so high.) The second the jeweler put heat to it the band popped, 3 different pieces and one of them flew into the air and landed over 6 feet away. Without skipping a beat, with no context or outside information he announced "chlorine."
@@mwater_moon2865 pool water has multiple chemicals added including sulphuric acid and cyanuric acid as well as chlorine. I'm no chemist but I'd guess that some of those other chemicals act to facilitate the reaction in the same way that hydrochloric acid does.
Bleach is an oxidizer. Bleach vapor with the air will oxidize metal. Acid will dissolve it. Bleach and acid mixed together will kill you. 😁
Just wanted to add… Bleach’s main constituent (Sodium Hypochlorite) when mixed with HCL Hydrochloric Acid liberates deadly Chlorine gas.
@@andrewmcintyre8636 Yeah any "chemist" that states mixing thing and not states to not do it cause it will cause a reaction and create deadly gas should stop calling themselves a Chemist.
Considering the sheet didn’t stick to your fingers, I suspect it’s gold FOIL labeled as gold leaf. It’s a common thing, labeling foiling as leaf.
i was thinking the same thing
Was going to say the same thing. Also, you can see he used it “upside down”. Gold foil will have a shiny and a dull side. Gold leaf doesn’t. He put the shiny side down on the test wood.
Definitely foil, gold leaf is much thinner and more delicate.
Yes I think you're probably correct. When ever I've seen people use gold leaf before it so much thinner and delicate that it would just stick to the natural oils on skin.
No that's leaf and not foil, its brass leaf sold as "gold leaf". Foil is a different thing than leaf and is way thicker and will not tear as easily as that did.
I would assume you would want copper foil instead of gold leaf. As copper tends to be the best metal to change colour. I've used ketchup to add colour to copper sheet, as well as salt and heat, vinegar and other liquids. Foil tends to be a bit thicker than leaf so would also give you more metal to react against. Adding colour to real gold or real silver needs chemicals like liver of sulphur.
Its the vinegar in ketchup that did it.
I think what is needed is Brass Leaf which is the cheap gold leaf most come by. The copper in the brass gets dissolved leaving the zinc behind. Leaves a weird dark silvery finish after. Cleaning rusted metal parts in vinegar baths, any brass inserts/bearings will do that. You can get copper leaf but it just tends to be on the rare side to find. Most the times it can be sold as "Rose Gold" instead of saying copper leaf.
You had me at "liver of sulphur." 😆
Small world, Jodie and Key!
I darken my silver pieces in Selsun shampoo. I'm not kidding. There's literally enough sulphur in there
When you started, it was broccoli, then all I could see was tiny faces, but the gilding somehow transformed it into something.... exquisite. Truly. Great job, Nick.
See, I was thinking cauliflower
Looks like you turned a gold nugget rather than a wood burl. It's quite pretty. Have you tried lightly sanding the back of your emblems? Thinking as a pen turner, smooth metal tubes and glue don't bond well. I wonder if roughing up the metal would be the same fix as it is for tubes?
Ignore that other reply. It’s a scam account. Nicks been asking us to report them
Loved seeing this project come to life. The turning and the final metallic finish ! Really nice 👍
That flakey stuff's awesome! My wife has used that for card making, wedding invites and the like. Keeps meaning to nick some for a woodworking project!
i got edible gold leaf and made the "elusive" gold Lego Brick for a cake for my son's birthday one year. hahaha
@@sherilynl4038 haha! I bet that went down well!
@@davedavem he actually loved it. ended up not looking very pretty tho
I’m surprised that you made a test panel first! But don’t beat yourself up Nick, it’s not cheating if your end result is what you were aiming for!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Edit: it turned out awesome btw!!!
First rule of woodworking: Never tell anyone what it was SUPPOSED to look like. 😊
It was wonderful seeing and hearing you again! I liked how the bowl turned out. Nice job.
Thank you so much 😊
Despite not doing the effect the way you wanted, this turned out gorgeous 😍
Looks incredible! It's also really nice to see the mistakes and how you stay optimistic :)
Thank you so much 😊
Lovely to see you, such a beautiful piece of art! Well done x
That is smply beautiful. I love the different colored flecks on the burl. Just gorgeous! Well done!
That piece of burl was giving me broccoli vibes, what a treasure piece. Here’s hoping you revisit the project, it’s sounds interesting.
It also gave me tree vibes 😊
It did me too.
I've always been in love with burl wood in its many forms. I'd first seen it used in cars in the veneer form.
Cauliflower for me!
Could it be the viscosity of the bleach?
Or a proper, stupid cheap faux gold leaf? (Perhaps the reaction will go off with that blended mix you used)
Regardless of the tests not going as intended, great result anyway!
Mixing bleach and vinegar creates potentially lethal chlorine gas.
@@xXxVoSxXx there is that too
Would that still be the case if the bleach had dried?
Risky
@@DinsdalepiranHa3 not sure 🤔
But it does need consideration. A lot of people don’t seem to know about bleach and not to mix it with other stuff without checking first. Bleach can make many dangerous gases. ⚠️
@@xXxVoSxXx absolutely. While it's a great (corrosive) cleaner, just the possibility of risk needs to be heeded.
@@DinsdalepiranHa3 I googled. Found this “Safe Application of Bleach and Vinegar
To use bleach and vinegar separately, one after the other, completely rinse the first cleaner from the surface with water and dry it before applying the other to prevent the two from mixing and emitting chlorine gas.“
😄 I saw those faces in the wood right before you mentioned it. I think soldering Flux could potentially give you a good patina,it surely works for copper🤷♂️ Another awesome project nick👍
dude, your stuff is always amazing. i enjoy your videos so much , keep them coming and ill always be watching.,,,, much love
"Alexa set a timer for 15mins" Thanks Nick!!!!!!! Alexa's setting timers all over the place.🤣
Beautiful result. Thanks for another project where we all learn together.
You have a lot of chemists and such leaving comments, but from my limited and messy use of gold leaf years ago, I suspect the material you were using was probably an alloy like dutch gold or an imitation gold foil. As soon as I saw you touching it from the booklet with your hands & brushes and it DIDN'T immediately wrap itself to everything and stick to everything and bunch up, I knew it was not the pure whisper thin gold leaf I fought with. Since I don't know the chemistry or the expected result I don't know the importance of that distinction, but please double check with your source to make sure you use what they used. Thanks again. Cheers.
"loads of little faces" ... It always feels like somebody's watching me 🎶
I get the same feeling with popcorn 🍿 ceilings and clouds sometimes.
Like this one Nick, although I was anxious you were going through it at one stage! Looked like a lump of broccoli I thought. 🥦
Great you found something to replicate the effect you were aiming for. I see a pile of fools gold where someone has been digging for the real thing. Good piece, well done. Might be a bit slow to watch sometimes, as you say: "life", but I'm always here ready to watch what you put out. 👍
19:39 I don’t know what’s supposed to happen, but anything shiny makes me happy. So a success in my book!
23:46 oooh! It’s like coral from space! Very pretty!
Even though it didn't work-out the way you planned, this piece is gorgeous. Your videos are so awesome, I really look forward to them. Thank you.
It is likely quite unhealthy to do this - in what comes loose - please research and be careful 🙏
Nick, you make even the "paid promotions" fun to watch!
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends..
Nick, I love your site and the stuff you make! You make me laugh!! Stay safe and well and keep us laughing!!! ❤️
I think it came out actually very nicely. The first gold leaf method in my opinion wouldn't have looked as nice. Bravo Nick‼️ another wonderful art piece. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That's wonderful! But I'm sorry I didn't see anything that described the claiming of a prize 🏆 but then again at age 66 I'm surprised 🙀 I was able to read this message lol. Thank you Nick
They to put your commercial on television ❤️❤️❤️ it’s beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
i like how it turned out in the end.
It gave me an idea, though. maybe put some of that foil into a spice grinder with tiny amounts of different coloured glitter and dust the piece with it? I don't know. or maybe use the powdery mess as pigment for resin? 🤷♂
When I do it every now and then. I like to use the make-up brush I think it's just right size and it's nice and soft.
Nice. At first I thought you were going to make a broccoli 🥦 bowl 🤣 Thanks 👏👍😊
That burl reminded me of a broccoli floret! LOL I could not figure out how gold was going to react with bleach. Still, the end result was pretty cool.
This turned out so gorgeous!! I’d be really pleased with this, for sure. It a beautiful blend of the natural with the..well, opulent. 😂 I love how your emblem even matches the gold motif.
I think you had foil instead of actual leaf. I do hope you revisit the experiment, though, it seems like a neat concept; please don’t mix chemicals, though! I’m not sure if you let everything dry between using, I was afraid that bleach was gonna react with something and you’d pass out. 😅
Wood and gold leaf just go so beautifully together ❤️
"I've never done leafing before" .... 3 min later .... "I found this jar of remnants in my shop from doing tons of leafing projects" =)))
Fun fact it was recently discovered pyrite aka fools gold (depending on where it's mined from) actually does contain trace amounts of gold in it there's just no reliable method of extracting the gold without the cost of extraction exceeding the value of the gold once its extracted
Love you Nick!! Hope everything gets better for you, less stressful.
Could never stop watching you!! Take the time you need to focus on you and your family!! Those that really love you completely understand and only wish you well.
I think it turned out quite nice! I really like it! I know it didn't turn out how you wanted it to, but it's an awesome piece! I love the Burt you used! Great job, Nick! ♥️♥️
It look like a broccoli before almost like a broccoli Florette it would kind of been cool if it would’ve been green it would’ve been exactly like a broccoli Florette is a nice piece Sorry the goldleaf didn’t work out for you but I think it looks good with the flakes
You are so creative and inspiring! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic golden broccoli great try nick👍👍👍👍👍
Maybe try cola?
The burl looks like a piece of broccoli 🤣, I loved the finished piece , I'd put a tea light in the middle , nice one Nick , now drink the vodka 😁x
Beautiful
It looked like broccoli in the beginning. Me a broccoli dip tray.
♡im so happy to see you agen and your back to your waffling self thankyou so much!
I don’t know where you get your ideas but they’re pretty freaking cool love them
I don't think you have real gold leaf....maybe buy a different brand ❓
The wood looked like a big stem of broccoli 🥦 It is an unusual and beautiful piece of wood.
Loved how it came out. It looks really cool. On a weird side note I think the bur looks like a slice of cauliflower steak.
I thought broccoli…lol😂..also thought it would make a good clock for the kitchen
@@candaceparsons529 Add my vote for broccoli. Started as broccoli & finished as money tree. :D
This turned out brilliant! Always interested to see what you have up your sleeve, Mr. Zammeti! And as usual, you didn't disappoint. You've actually given me some ideas for some things. 😁👍
Way to adapt Nick! Honestly I love how the project turned out!
Im only a few minutes in and thought that would have made an awesome hydrangea or a cauliflower dish but I'm waiting to see the end creation which will no doubt be amazing!
At first glance that piece od burl looked like a giant piece of brown broccoli.
Gel bleach (what you used) is very different from regular liquid bleach. The chemical used to gel the bleach is probably not helping you in any way. Look for contractors bleach. It is a high % bleach content with no additives.
I was thinking the gel part of the bleach might've had an effect, negative, too.
You mixed bleach, vodka and vinegar? You wore gloves but no ventilator? Then you foiled it but just decided to skip letting the glue get tacky? Nick?
Mixing bleach and vinegar creates potentially lethal chlorine gas ☠️
Gold don’t patina that much, but copper in combination with vinegar on the other hand…. 😍 But the burl with the plain leaf is beautiful as well! Have a nice day
Brilliance just Brilliance 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think your great buddy, been a fan for I think 3 maybe even 4 years now. I enjoy watching whatever you do. You enjoy making us happy and try to be different, nothing wrong with that buddy. I think you should do a project with that really colorful plywood chips you saved for like 2 years ago lol and maybe do something with that? Idk, maybe even a Back to the Future type of project. I've been asking everyone to make the ninja turtles ooze canister for years now haha. With the oversized dandelion and stuff from the movie. Just trying to throw you some ideas buddy. Hope you're doing well. Be safe my friend
You saved the day by finding the other stuff. I really like the effect, it looks very cool and kinda like camo on the smooth part. You won't know until you try, right? Happy days buddy, I think its funky. I like it, it would be great for holiday nuts for Christmas.
The burl looked like a half of a broccoli florette before you started all the work on it.
definitely looks like a rusty piece of broccoli. and i love it.
I really like the end result! I think the "mistake" ended up working out fantastically!!
That’s quite a beautiful stockpile of wood!
That turned out really nice Nick. Well done!
Being a first time gold leaf application you did a beautiful job!
We love the birr but we are vegetable lovers it looks like a piece of broccoli! We was wondering what that piece would look like as a clock? Great texture and form so cool and intriguing. Thanks for your creativity!
Nice. I love that you are not afraid to try anything.
The flakes were perfect to compliment the burl :) Always an adventure and so much fun to see where we end up :)
It looks like broccoli. Just sayin
Hey Nick, entertaining as always! I read something about adding water in the process similar to extracting gold from its ore. Did you try that? Give us the solution in MC when you hit on it. Cheers!
It looks like petrified broccoli, love it!
I have 2 burls,but don't have lathe so I'm thinking of doing some jewelry from it and put it in resin+gold leaf (u gave me the idea, thanks mate!!!)🤗🥳
Liquid gold is exceptional for small jewelry crafts, I made some resin druzy pieces with it and they turned out pretty stunning.
Love getting to see your lovely body art! This looks like a fun projects, I can't wait to get into it! So curious about how the bleach and gold will react! :O
I LOVE how this turned out!!
Alcohol mixed with bleach..... makes chloroform. Good thing you didn't take any deep breathes..... lol
It still came out great 👍
Wow! That’s a really cool piece! I love it!
I’m looking forward to Gold Leaf 2.0! I’m sure you’ll figure it out Nick!!
Bloody hell……13.06 in and I now have timer for 15 minutes on my Alexa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😉
Entertaining as heck Nick...
I enjoy following your channel and creations. 😉👍
I would have brushed the foil on with clear resin. Would come out more shiny and possibly pop the foil pieces more in the light. Still turned out amazing as always though. Keep up the videos but also take time for yourself as well as family. ❤️
Nice! It Looks Like A VERY Fancy Lrg. Candle Holder. 🥰
When I 1st Saw The Wood In The Beginning My Mind Immediately Saw A Project Of An Afro Haired Woman W. Her Head Turned.
I Love How Creative These Projects Are. ~ 1 Amor
You made my day with your Minnions clip. My granddaughter recently viewed Despicable Me 2. She loves saying bottom EXACTLY like the Minnions while smacking her bottom. 😂😂
Absolutely gorgeous Nick! If I didn't live across the pond, it is definitely a piece I would inquire about purchasing. Maybe one day when I can afford the cost of shipping an item of yours or we're in the same neighborhood....
Love seeing you smile and enjoying your projects. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
I love how you can turn anything into a triumph! Even a burl that looks like broccoli.
Ha! I thought the same thing.
The project may not have happened as originally planned, but its still really pretty 😃. You mentioned you had some things going on that had your focus, so I hope and pray all is well in your world, Nick. Gonna be sending you a present here soon that I think and hope you're really gonna like
Gold is NOTORIOUSLY nonreactive. See Cody's lab and Nile Red for videos about this. Aqua Regia will react with it and dissolve it, but that stuff is EXTREMELY toxic and dangerous. Your gold foil/leaf needs to be more copper based, what you have is probably too high in actual gold to react well, ironically.
Using gold leafing… you will now find little bits and flakes of it through out the studio forever. It gets EVERYWHERE! XD
Going to suggest using a fan brush next time. It’s much gentler on the leafing. And normally, you do have to seal the leafing, as it could flake off.
RIP Broccoli 🥦
15.20. Self made gold bars…….. that’s how he makes his money🤫😉👍🏻 good experiment though looks a bit like a large chunk of fools gold, shame your plan didn’t work but practice makes perfect
WARNING Juvenile Jokes Ahead!!
So you don’t(?) won’t to screw, the ‘bottom’?!?
Most men jump at the chance, if get it! 😂🤣😂
Very impressive Nick😉👍, it just looks like a Rustic fools gold like👌. If u want more an extra gold just try go to the Gemstone online or at the shop in near u,... U will may to find a fools gold rock like & put the glue on this😉👍. That it will to give u an extra golden bling✨, lol😂👍. I liked it u r good into the ideas cums from me Nick😘👍. Glad to see you.
I love how sometimes the cheaper stuff is the better stuff 🥰🥰🥰 I absolutely LOOOOOOOVE copper oxides
I have one word for you...
Ballbearings mixed with broken shards of mirror, and flower petals...
I like Lilies...
Nick.
This isn't relating to THIS video. However, comma, a friend and I are across the big pond in North Carolina and we had been watching a couple of YOUR vids and how crazy they can be.
Have you ever tried turning anything out of a resin with a core of Rubiks Cubes????? If you do. Let me know when.
Ok, so I have been subscribed to your channel for a little while now, and no I have not watched all your videos. YET!! Now, although I enjoyed watching this one, lemme say I am slightly miffed me old mukka. And here is why. It was well into the night and I was lying in bed watching youtube. At the 12:56-ish mark, you asked Alexa to start a 15 minute countdown. I have an Alexa in my bedroom, and she has control over my TV and Firestick. Thanks to you, I had a 15 minute countdown which i had to cancel. And no sooner had i canceled the timer, you said the dreaded "A" word again, which I had to promptly tell my "A" to cancel and shut up. Fast forward to 13:20-ish, and you threw my Alexa into confusion by asking how long is left on timer. So my TV is now playing your Alexa voice saying you have 3 minutes and 50 seconds left on your 15 minute timer, and my Alexa saying what 15 minute timer. Now by this time I am shouting at my Alexa to stop and just be quiet, when you tell your Alexa to stop timer. My Alexa who by now is totally con fuddled, stops the video and switches off you tube. i was a broken man at this point, and just turned off the TV and went to bed chuckling away to myself. So for any future videos you might want to beep out the "A" word so I can watch NO stoppage content. Keep up the good work!!
👋😉
Your great artwork is only surpassed by your vivid imagination. You do wonders. Thank you, from Montgomery, Alabama USA
Beautiful piece of wood 😍. awesome finished project 🤩💖. I ain’t goin nowhere’s. 😉. Xx
Very cool piece. Chlorine and Nitric acid are the things that can do some damage to gold. This is the reason for gold plating contacts it does not oxidize or react with most stuff.
The gold was probably better quality than expected, anything strong enough to have reacted would have just dissolved it rather than change colors.
The point was not to react with the gold but with the other metallic impurities that are added to cheap gold leaf, but this probably was too cheap, so it wasn't even real gold either.
@@CookingWithCows That is possible, but unlikely. Lesser metals would have started to oxidize with the vinegar (which you correctly identified as the goal). More likely is that it is 18k to 24k gold
For sticking your emblem use super glue, sprinkle with banking soda a little more supper glue and it will never come off.
Awesome looking project. 😊👍
