watching conners videos is like therapy

The main thing about making charcoal is eliminating the oxygen so it doesn't actually burn off. Cody on codys lab used cleaned out paint cans when he started making charcoal. He needed larger amounts for his experiments, so he upgraded to barrels, but it was still interesting. I wonder how a packed paint can would compare to the aluminum foil method. Anciently they'd stack the charcoal in large orderly piles with very little space in-between the sticks, and then I think they'd seal it with clay. The fires were very intense to the extent that it was used as a plot device in a book/tv series called Cadfael. I think well you can buy stick charcoal for art very similar to what you created. I think the one you bought is crushed charcoal with a binder. I could totally be wrong though

I CANT STOP COMING BACK TO YOUR VIDEOS WHY ARE YOUR VIDEOS SO ADDICTING?
@humanbeing1429
I love your calm energy, not hyper or loud but very engaging. And you would be a great friend, a great husband and a great dad. Bless you.
@3DNuggets
this guy deserves the world. When i watch one of his videos (ive been binge watching them for a day now) i just know hanging out with him is the best thing ever. the vibes he gives off are just different.
@KirkulesTM
Splitting the sticks in half (or sanding them square) would likely provide a nice edge. And I imagine if you used core willow wood (or at least not dead branch wood) and draw out all the moisture or compressed it while cooking, that would provide a more "professional" art grade charcoal.

@Dinguscat15
as a retired caveman. i can confirm he did what my brother taught everyone. thanks for sharing this 😊
@Rysterio
That was was one of the funnest ways I think I've ever seen to draw
@VanceWarren83
I love how you said the cavemen “probably” didn’t have tin foil. 😂
@Ryguy9978
You should do this but huddle the sticks and make them sharp for a pencil like pointy tip
@mohdameruddin7672
Hi Connor, i have this kind of idea maybe you are interested to try. Back in the 80s in my country people used to cook the whole chicken in an empty cooking oil tin. The chicken is hanged inside the tin with a wire, put the tin cover, make a small hole to allow water vapor to escape, then put the tin in fire 🔥 there is another method, they used bamboos and aluminum foil but the chicken needs to be marinated with special herbs. Hope this helps 👌
@roy9578
The smudge test was a good idea. Would you consider carving? Great video and that bike is very stylish and looks fun to ride.

Connor needs more likes and subscribers he is super cool
@heyitsdason
I’m watching this while finishing my last charcoal drawing for my drawing course. 🙃 Also you made vine charcoal which is different than compressed. Vine is thinner and lighter, and is often used quick gesture drawings.
@Megatron12x
The stick on was really cool but I think you should have made the tip pointy and sharp like a pencil ✏️
@schizodillo1952
Can you do a short or something like that of trying to shave the edges of the charcoal stick for flatter edges? Even if you just take the end and rub it straight on a piece of paper, eventually you should end up with a similar edge to the amazon stuff, which would allow for cleaner lines.
