Hey everyone it's Dylan from the Black Forest Wood
Company we're back again for another week here in the shop so this week again we posted something on
our Instagram and TikTok that just went crazy uh it is this whiskey bottle casting so we had
a client reach out to us she wanted a bottle of Jack Daniel's cast and whiskey and then we
actually made a custom kind of storage box for it so we're going to show you that whole process
we'll show you how it turned out then we also did a truly for another client so that's super
exciting then we've got a christmas delivery uh it was literally like two days before christmas
we got this table in her client's house so she was super grateful turned out awesome it just
really could not have went any better we've also got a fitness challenge that we're doing between
some of our staff so Jo and Jesse made a bet with each other there's money on the line i'm not going
to say what it is but if you guys watch to the end of the video you'll be able to see their bet
another thing i wanted to say we've got a whole bunch of new subscribers recently so thank you
guys and welcome to the channel um but we also noticed that like over 70 percent of people who
watch our videos actually are not subscribed so you guys can see the graph right there so if
you can subscribe right now it really really helps us out and then if you can leave a like too
before the video starts we'd really appreciate it so what kind of started all these bottle castings
for us was we actually did one for the Nelk Boys just completely on a whim, we did a bottle of Corona
uh and then Trevor Wallace he's a sort of like an Instagrammer and a TikTok he posts all
these kind of funny videos he's a comedian um he reached out to us and he wanted one done
so we did a white claw for him we sent it to him then he actually put it on his story so in
the next clip here you guys are going to get to see Trevor's White Claw it's kind of just a Claw
type Tuesday look at this these dudes sent me a custom plexiglass claw that will never be opened
until I'm drunk at 3am and go what the is that hell yeah thank you so much all right so we are
casting um some more drinks here uh we've got these are two commissions that we're going to
be doing for clients for christmas so we've got a Jack Daniels bottle in
there let's go do the honours oh first try I got the red one let's get it and a strawberry lemonade truly hard seltzer
let's get it let's go okay first try just no just drop it, just drop it yeah if you miss
the center you know this is ruined right you guys also you're gonna need
a really high-tech uh cooling uh device like this it's a very fancy fridge
they're hard to get yeah very hard to come across these will probably sit in here
for the first couple of days, uh but it'll probably come up before the
end of the week so we'll update you guys then so we're applying our Black Forest
Ceramics and we're applying it with these little blue pads
and our little squishy pad so we're in the mountains delivering our client's dining table right
before Christmas here um see how it goes you chose a beautiful piece for me thank
you you're very welcome Jody it's gorgeous I'm so excited now I can learn to have people in out of yeah okay this piece of wood yeah and it's
that what did you call it that Bastogne Walnut yeah it's actually quite a rare hybrid of the
walnut down there yeah no it's kind of interesting how this tree species came to be so there's
english walnut and clara walnut that humans graft purposely to grow walnuts and then the spores
of that man-made tree create this Bastone Walnut so unique characteristics yeah it grows naturally
but not without human intervention first it's kind of cool because I'm fatter than Jo is right now it's whoever loses the most pounds yeah yeah percentage, okay and we need to get a scale at the shop yeah an agreed-upon scale okay yep 300 bucks 300 bucks january 1st for
two months yes we've just uh arranged a black forest fitness challenge yes we're gonna see
who can lose more poundage jesse or joe see this that's going to go that's going to go
jesus god god it's not even there i don't know what i'm going to do i'll probably take my
brother's workout routine and start doing that because he's lost a lot of weight yeah yeah
about you Jesse what's your what's your plan of attack going into this pickled eggs and
chicken that's the formula formula okay yeah all right so we are starting what i think is our
fourth table from this tree uh it's bastone walnut uh the few that we've done before we're all cast
whereas this client's actually going with a river so we split the slab down the middle cut that
center little waist chunk out trimmed it to length and there's kind of our river layer all right so
we're doing our um dark smoky gray here and then we have our boring buckets available so they've
got our logo on them and then they've also got measurements up the side to kind of help you
guys measure out how much epoxy that you need and a lot of you guys made the suggestion
to get white or clear buckets which we did and it has made it way easier to
actually see what color we're doing make sure to check out joe on Spotify new hit single jingle jingle yeah he dyed his
hair for his album cover Takashi 69 jingle jangle dang look at that calculation dang Spencer, alright so we just got here some
of our wood from kiln drying um this is from the first time that we went to see Gerry so I
don't even remember what's here um but we'll come check it out actually I gotta go say hi the
dog the energy on this like somebody your friends um so what you guys just saw was us picking
up our wood from our first trip out to Gerry's that was in the summer um so a lot
of the wood we got from him was still wet uh full of moisture so we just leave it in the kiln i
think it was like six months it went through there and then it's all ready to work with so we're
finally finally now ready to start making some stuff with this wood from jerry there's this
one eight inch thick piece that i want to do in a single port don't even know if it would work
but we do want to try it and the dog that they had there was super cute too he was very nice i know
it's not charlie um but he was very cute as well okay well i hope you guys enjoyed this video
