Please never fill your lamp up over 3/4 its capacity. The heat of the flame can, expand the fuel causing it to leak around the lid and down the side of the lamp or cause the fuel to ignite. In the worst case scenario a fire will start under the lid crack the glass vessel spelling fuel all over wherever it is sat and the wick will ignite that fuel.

@@quirkyqwertyto1055 Thanks for the nice remark, The comment section I feel acts as away for all of us to share our knowledge of a subject and hopefully enrich other peoples experiences in life.
Vegetable oil or olive oil works good and it's easier to get than lamp oil. I made a miniature one out of a glass nail polish bottle and some string and aluminum foil
very nice idea. they look just as safe as any oil lamp you can buy. I always think of it this way. as long as a person respects the flame you can make them as safe as u want.
The only other thing you might want to mention (for the intellectually challenged) is that the wick needs to be pulled up every so often so the flame won't burn out. And of course never leave any oil lamp unattended, make sure you're in the room especially if you have kids, cats, or a dog that could possibly disturb it. A little ventilation never hurts either, if it's not too cold outside-even cracking a window half an inch helps! Thanks for the video!!
@@donotaddmeplease Not sure how often you'd have to pull it up, but if you spiral wrap a steel wire all the way up the entire length of the wick, you can pull on the steel wire that is left sticking out to pull the wick up when the flame gets too small.
Brilliant!!! I did something similar with one of those metal beer cans with the screw top, and I made the wick out of an old 100% cotton tee shirt that I cut a strip from. Neat idea!
I was checking out the comments, and ya know, those little 2" votive candles after they are spent, have a little metal sleeve, which can be reused safely. You'd just have to thread it into the lid. And btw, this really would make a great little gift.
Oh believe me I've had many fire in my experiments but I always have a fire extinguisher or two very close by... Ha ha... Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment. I appreciate the support you give my channel as well as your kind words. I hope you and your family have a beautiful Christmas and a very Happy New Year... :-)
I love your videos. You are SO cool. Our brains work a lot alike. For that,,,, I truly feel sorry for you.! HAHAHA... I recently found some Tiki Torch wicks at the $ store. They were 2 for a dollar and I knew I would be able to use these things. I also have a 2023 Honda Monkey. It is too hot to ride right now but,,, I have been having fun with her here in the mountains.. I'm also one of those ickie o'l born agains... Peace Brother... Rev
You've got so many good videos, I just wished I'd have subscribed earlier. I might have seen this one before I spent money on canning jars and various wick holders to accomplish this same thing at 4 times the price. Lol Mine will probably work better with the lower grade oils like olive oil and other veggie oils because the wick doesn't have to lift the fuel so high but lamp oil and the alcohols will easily wick up that long neck. Thanks
Great Video, but if I may, in my bottles, I don't fill them to the top, about halfway for me, never saw need to top off, fire a little too close to the fuel just below the cap.
+Bkeytx I also heard that as the lamp heats up the lamp oil expands, so having the bottle filled to the top could be dangerous if the oil begins to leak out the top. I agree, filling it half way would work just as well and be safer.
Thank you so much.... up to now I can make a little lamp for praying before God with olive oil. I will pray for you... may God bless you and all your family. Thank you... I couldn't believe how simple and easy to make it. Thank you... Jesus loves you..and He bless you..
👍👍 I enjoyed this video! I see a few comments stating the vid is too long, etc but it's much better than rushing through! I think that applies to EVERYthing we do! lol (People need more patience!!) But, I searched and needed a quick, easy and cheap way for a light source and your video has helped!! A couple of questions: Can I use olive oil instead of lamp oil? And is it better to use lamp wicks, yarn, thick string...? (I'm not wealthy and basically living on a shoestring) hmmm maybe even a shoestring work as a wick? lol What would be the cheapest but longest lasting? I'm planning to make about a dozen, and I'm just thinking, I could buy olive oil by the gallon, I believe the dollar store even has those vinegar bottles and I'm figuring the wick (in bulk) will probably be more than the rest. But I'd rather spend alittle extra, if it'll be longer lasting. If theres really no difference, than I'll go with whatever's cheaper. Thank you in advance if your able to respond. God bless 🌱📖🌱
With lamp oil or kero you can get away with half full. It shouldn't have a problem wicking up that far. I would try to get the wick short enough were it doesn't smoke. Its a cool little lamp. hard to find these little containers with a all metal cap.
Cool idea... but did you really need a 7 minute long video to explain: Vinegar bottle Lamp Oil goes in the bottle String goes in the oil then just light it...
jiujitsu2000, thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching your video step by step. some people rush through their presentation and i get frustrated having to rewind play rewind play. thanks again for the video.
I doing that!!!!! Right now!!! I wonder if you can do that with canola oil or olive oil like the people back in the old old old old old days used to do
how long does the wick last before you have to pull the string. You have great and useful ideas. This is why I sub to your channel. Keep up the good work.
I made it on two jars. One has aluminium cap (silver color) and the other is of (yellow-goldish color) but slightly bigger in size than the first bust still same rug length. The one with the coldish color tends to extinguish. Why is that? Color chemical reacting with the fire somehow or larger size of rag needs slightly bigger rug?
If anyone is watching this being homeless please consider what comes off that you WILL be inhaling. In my earn days I did wake up to black phlegm,but you learn. You can get smokeless+odourless lamp oil. ❤️❤️
I tried this with a mop string into a bigger vinegar bottle with a bigger hole and it lights up alright, but i see smoke come up as well, so I don't recommend lighting this up inside.
you bought that lamp oil. was hoping for an oil alternative "how to make lamp oil". Comment if you know of any cheap/quality burning "mediums" other than actual lamp oil.
Olive oil was used in the 'original' oil lamps and might work in this application as well. Olive oil is much safer to burn; non-toxic fumes etc.
Yes, you're right. Your idea is overkill. This a better idea. Whale oil was the original. I like your idea though. Thanks
Love your idea and video. ❤
Thank you so much

+Mason Nesson Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by and showing your support. Have a beautiful evening!

After watching this video, I found this exact bottle in a thrift store.
Plan on making a lamp too.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PULL THE WICK IF IT IS MADE OF CARBON FIBER CLOTH.. NEVER BURNS SO IT STAYS SAME LENGHT.. OK?

Thanks for sharing. This will be-truly useful during the 3 days total darkness of the world.
Thanks for sharing your great video, the world is already better with people like you and I ; )
Great idea! Excellent video! Thank you!
You could drill out the hole to accept slightly larger round wicks. Great videos.
I love your oil lamp. I is a very creative idea. Very useful. Thank you⚘
Thank you!!
Wonderful! Many people in India use this kinda lamps. Now I know how to make it. Thanks buddy!
Thank you ! It is a nice 👍 oil lamp.
Great idea,Thanks for your information.
I love great ideas, and this is one of them! Thank you for sharing. I'ma do a pair of em!

I found this very useful thank you
Another handy way to deal with the label goo is lighter fluid. I use it often! Great video, keep up the loading!
WD40 works too. Doesn’t affect plastics.
Great idea. Im goung to make these and give as gifts. Ty
Ironicly you can actualy use vinegar to get the sticky glue off the bottom of the bottle
Here in India we make it out of Alcohol bottles 😂 and kerosine as fuel. and cotton cloth for the fuse.
Still being made in interior areas of our country and for maybe 3 centuries 😂
Sounds like a Molotov cocktail
@@nateholden7598 but there is no alcohol in the bottle, it is called "dibri" in our odia language.
cool! I was just happy to see your work board and bottle didn't burst into flames. But very creative and cheap, which I like. Thanks

Canola oil is quite a good lamp oil
Thanks, man! You just saved me a little dough. Gonna go hunt for some shoe string or some kinda string from around the house.
Whelp, shoe string 110% does not work.
@@M81_WOODLAND
It must be 100% cotton.
You can buy a length of wick at a craft store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
Thanks linking this to a Be prepared video!
Awesome, THANKS
Why does "Molotov" come to mind? 🤔
LOL!
Use alcohol instead
Thank you for you tip, blessings
I get now thanks a bunch
Seems like a fancy Molotov cocktail
😂
Could you add some essential oils to make a room diffuser?
Kool 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Thank you!

I watched this. Says 9 yrs ago.
Is that how long it took him to make this video?🤣🤣
Good video
Is it necessary to use lamp oil? Will vegetable oil be as good? How long will this lamp last before refilling is needed.
Oh man that intro is so bad I love it, it feels like 2000 all over again, thank you.

Lamp Oil goes in the bottle
String goes in the oil
then just light it...

When I was a kid my grandma use kerosene lamp like this...🤗😍😇
Lamp oil, rope ,bombs, you want it? It's yours my friend as long as you have enough rubys.
I'm planning on trying different oil lamps, but how long does this one last? Have u ever timed it? I really like the top to the vinegar bottle.
+Helen Casillas this pine burns for several hours
Maybe you can approximate the dimensions of the bottle, but cool has it alldone just about
Thank u
I doing that!!!!! Right now!!! I wonder if you can do that with canola oil or olive oil like the people back in the old old old old old days used to do
Muy bueno
thank you!
you're welcome, thank you as well!
Also how much heat do you think one of these provides. I am nervous because last year we had rolling black outs and I got so very cold.
Do you like being an oil lamp Maker at all?
when I was a kid my grandparents use kerosene or gas for this kind of lamp
Yeah. You are right. Is it really oil? Or kerosene or gas??
kerosene might leave dangerous fumes or it smells bad
how long does the wick last before you have to pull the string. You have great and useful ideas. This is why I sub to your channel. Keep up the good work.
It will burn all night!
Could you use denatured alcohol for this also and use yarn for the wick also?
How many hours does one 6oz. bottle with lamp oil burn for, when using plain cotton yarn as a wick?
P A R A F A - D U G Ó drága úram!
Good
Thank you!
YARN!!!! Shit really? I thot one needed a wick. Lol u learn new shit everyday all day.
What string do you use?
Said hand wash only on the bottle. How has it held up with use? Is their risk of it breaking with heat from the flame?
i think the Crazy Russian Hacker was more creative about the lamp but this one is useful to and looks good depends what you have to make it.
well you are good at cleaning up your mess too...good job, nice informative video. Any comments on how to substitute commercial oil with vege oils?
thank you. vegetable oil doesn't work as well because it's too thick to travel up the wick.
can i use sunflower oil ?
Hemp and jute string aso make good wicks. Very cheap compared to the 3 for $10 factory brand.
+John Province I've used both of those as well and they're very effective
I was just thinking about wicks. Thank you.
Would hemp string work? As a wick?
How long before it burns out? Tks
Any oil will do
A rupee saving miracle.
Try crisco lard burns longer turn it into a candle burns upto 72days
Can use old cooking oil if that all you have.
yes
You can Diy som lamp oil
Can you use this indoors
I made it on two jars. One has aluminium cap (silver color) and the other is of (yellow-goldish color) but slightly bigger in size than the first bust still same rug length. The one with the coldish color tends to extinguish. Why is that? Color chemical reacting with the fire somehow or larger size of rag needs slightly bigger rug?
Wouldn't the heat over time cause the bottle to explode?
How long will one of these burn? Cool idea
A couple days!
I thank you for the video my Question is Can i use olive oil?
JEAN GREGORY BUISSERETH yes but it's hard to keep it lit. Olive oil is thicker than lamp oil and doesn't travel up the wick is easily
what happens to the flame if you tie a knot at the top of the wick?
If anyone is watching this being homeless please consider what comes off that you WILL be inhaling.
In my earn days I did wake up to black phlegm,but you learn.
You can get smokeless+odourless lamp oil. ❤️❤️
2019 anybuddy?
Where can i buy Lamp oil or kerosene? I know that in shop but what type of shop? and Is this lamp safe?

i have a good blue oil lamp in my home plus smell good from oil...
only power line turning OFF...
or pleasure night time
Many thanks.
A little tip for your next vid - edit-out the non-essential parts - - - e.g. we don't need to see you wiping-up the mess you made.
I liked his wiping stuff and his comments about it. Relatable.
how much time it stay burning A bottle like this?
