[@Pollenoverponds]

Love the new clear series! Have you thought about making something inspired by the new james webb telescope photos?

[@teresabell1014]

Brilliant use of the coffee resin shavings.

[@shookings]

did those tampers really sell in a day? I had the idea of buying them for a few friends who work in the coffee biz

[@aicirtkciub9167]

All three turned out really cool. What a unique one off piece. And made of coffee even better.

[@Fugleebogan]

Thanks mate for doing this i hoped you would reuse these.

[@simmerelise]

I'd love to see a "never ending recycled resin" series. In each episode of the series you would use the recycled resin from the episode before to make something completely different. As the series goes it might become more and more colourful. Also curious if it would even work recycling recycled resin a heap of times

[@Liloldliz]

i would watch that!

[@williamellis8993]

Those are really neat, Ben. I was thinking gearshift knobs until the reveal at the end. I think number one is my favorite. Potcam couldn't stand the pressure (lol)? Bill

[@candaceparsons529]

That’s what I thought too

[@jasonesler2716]

Awesome idea! Gearshift knobs would look cool.

[@openorwap5412]

Same - great minds, and all that 😌👍🏽

[@OlafVonBarto]

I thought the same, lol

[@SunroseStudios]

we were thinking doorknobs lol

[@tracybowling1156]

I like #1 the best. But Ben, you made your own mandril! And you even tapped it! I love metal work. Metal is so hard and the fact that you can still mold it to your own needs is so interesting to me! You're so smart Ben. I already knew that though! ☺️

[@puestoak]

When they came out of the pot, they looked like glasses of Coke 😆 I like the shape of #2 the best. Great job!

[@micaela711]

I thought coke too!

[@user-bf8ud9vt5b]

My thoughts exactly.

[@stephanievivier290]

I thought too.

[@dirkkrohn1907]

Personally I thought that they looked like strong coffees. Heck they looked like iced coffees to me when they went in the pot.

[@chasitytaylor8858]

The entire creation of this project was so relaxing to watch, but when you revealed that these were to be tampers, it gave me a thrill that bursted into an open mouthed smile. 😃♥️

[@VTRAddict]

Nice project! One small tip - the way you were using the files under the turning screw meant you were basically cutting with the back edge of the teeth. If you lay the files on top rather than underneath next time, they will cut a lot faster!

[@karacoop]

Awesome video Ben! I liked shape #1 the best but originally I thought you were making a door knob. After finding out what they really are I like the uniqueness of them all! Thanks for sharing!

[@susandaniels9733]

I really like the patterns in the recycled resin.. I think that you should make other projects with the shaving. I wonder what the patterns would be with colored resin. Thanks for sharing.

[@markjust86]

I thought they were gone be gear shifters again lol I don't even know what a coffee tamper is 😂. They look cool though!

[@goodstuff]

i thought they were one of those things my wife keeps in her booty

[@dragonrage3398]

Those turned out really neat. Thanks for listening to all of us and doing something with those shavings. Keep up the awesome projects.

[@nadinewhite993]

I love the way the coffee is so evenly threaded and dispersed throughout. I had suspected it would sink downwards. PS They all look amazing, kind of mesmerising too👁️👁️. I used to love holding marbles up to the light and looking at all the detail inside and I think the 3 coffee thread items would be wicked to do the same with❤️

[@tigershirew7409]

These look great. I love how you can see all the little edges from the coffee beans. Great idea Ben.

[@samanthayeomans2366]

Wow!!! Not really what I expected, but turned out incredible!!!! I absolutely love how it retained most the brown lines around the coffee bean shape. Sooo cool!!!

[@jannaj2719]

The amount of work you put into these projects is amazing!

[@julie-annhenderson3591]

Amazing! You had me guessing until the very end. What a clever idea. Number 3 is my favourite. The edging would be perfect for hooking two fingers under. 10/10 again Ben. L❤ve your channel! 🥰

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Julie-Ann 😊

[@drstrangefart]

I had a very strong feeling that those shavings were gonna be back. The tampers came out beautiful, man. Good upcycle.

[@staceys9323]

Such a clever use for these pieces. That effect from the shavings is really unique. It would be very difficult to replicate this look with colour and resin techniques. The shaving create such an interesting look.

[@lunarrianightraven8798]

This looks interesting! These look like shifter knobs! I think 3 is my favorite!

[@juliestrickland7754]

They all came out gorgeous, but #1 was my favorite. Such gorgeous variations in color!!!!

[@ReadyDriverOne]

Watching the shapes get cut on the lathe gave me an idea. What if you took an LED lightbulb and surrounded it with some funky colored resin, then shaped it back into a lightbulb that could be plugged in? Just a thought I had. No idea if it would work. Love the content Ben! Have been watching for quite some time on my personal account.

[@TheConwoman3]

Who would of thought.....those are awesome. I liked the 2nd one best. Living here in Washington State we drink lots of coffee!💖💖

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Connie 😊

[@jasonesler2716]

I love the way you explore your craft. It might not work but.... it might just be awesome! Keep doing what you do my friend!

[@meximick]

Man I love your stuff but the best is your enthusiasm for your work. Keep healthy and all the best, always!

[@lechatbotte.]

Ben worx mad scientist at work. You’re always answering the questions we have with HOLD my resin hee hee. This is terrific.

[@Rockhopper1]

i love your reveal music, makes the day feel brighter. Great work on the tampers.

[@nataliechandler874]

Those are beautiful! They would make really awesome looking door knobs!!

[@liamkinley672]

when i was watching the coffee cup video i was hoping you would save the shaving for another project. you did not disappoint

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@tsulong]

I was just thinking on last week's episode that another resin shavings video would be cool to see, and here you are this week with one!

[@openorwap5412]

I always enjoy your 'Well, let's find out' mindset 🤗😊👍🏽

[@1954JDR]

That is a creative use of shavings and all three are beautiful.

[@cosmiccoyotedog-doreenb9605]

I first thought shift knobs for car stick shift, then I thought maybe handles for some bench tools... I'll find out soon when I watch you to the end. Love your shop and your amazing talent.

[@dm666master]

Number 3 is my favorite. Love the shape and look of it

[@christmassnow3465]

I think the work came out quite impressing. Not only the resin shavings became transparent (possibly thanks to the vacuum chamber) but the dark stain of the coffee beans on the old shavings gave a nice effect. It is a good idea, after all, to recycle the shavings the way you did, because you cannot melt it and reuse it just like ordinary plastic.

[@lynniev]

Shape 3 is my fave. I was guessing a shift knob but a coffee tamper is the perfect use for this recycled resin!!

[@cosmiccoyotedog-doreenb9605]

Oh wow, did not see that coming. Very cool coffee tampers. Oh, they would make cool topper handles on walking sticks/canes. Great video.

[@Geospasmic]

Wow, i can guess how interesting a variety of multicolored shavings would look in clear resin!

[@CihaPet]

The result was not dramatic, but still cool the way the original bean shapes were still detectible within the castings. A cool way of reusing the shavings and into something theme related of their former glory.

[@aveleziii]

I thought shift knobs or cane toppers. this was a great themed surprise. the kind of ribbons of resin inside made a great pattern

[@margaretzuelke9761]

I don't even know what a coffee tamper is, but they're all so cool, it's hard to choose a favorite!

[@joshuaharrison5297]

It’s like tortoise shell plastic! Look great!

[@jake4d40]

I thought they were shift knobs, they would certainly work for it too. Looks awesome.

[@rockymits]

IMHO, I think spreading the used resin over 6 cups or perhaps even 8 cups would have given a much more brilliant transparent look. But then again, without seeing the 3ct darker version, this observation would not have been possible. Your work is amazing!

[@samuelcastillo5246]

You already did this a couple of years ago, but I'm not complaining, it's such an awesome idea that you should do this once each couple of months for example

[@Nrscathy60]

Very cool! You are so clever! My dad turned on the lathe too, but wood of all types and sizes.

[@roxannespindler8286]

They look at first like glasses of soda with ice! Love watching your channel!

[@melissaphillis7247]

Brilliant tampers love them, the mandrel you're so clever

[@samanthadean1083]

Awesome job, Ben!!! I prefer #2, myself!

[@whskyhamr]

Definitely enjoy that they came out looking like glasses of coke with crushed ice. How interesting. Great project.

[@susanbjorstrom2594]

I thought you were making a shifter knob! These are really neat looking. Thanks from Minnesota USA!

[@johnwilliams8818]

Either gearshift knobs or tapperheads... I like #3 for certain! It would make a great gearshift knob!

[@paintcandan5972]

i always love the sped up sound of stirring the resin with the stick. i dunno why but it tickles my brain 🤤

[@julie-annhenderson3591]

Me too. Glad I'm not the only one. 😏

[@THEAPRILFOOL-1983]

One of them looks like a small Crucible which turned out really nice but I love them all very nice work

[@toddoughty2043]

Hello, I actually looked up your channel just cus i had an idea about resin recycling and was amazed to see the title of the video!!! My idea was that you could save all the shavings from all the projects and at one point melt them down or pack and cast them into a singular brick mold, and just keep repeating that process until you have a whole (continuously growing) giant lego set or bricks for an outdoor walkway. just thinking, keep it up as always beautiful work and wonderful vids!!!

[@Bonez116KR]

Your ideas always leave me speechless

[@kronicmouse7816]

Shifter knobs and number 2 is my fave

[@RobertEchten]

I like the more rounded one the best and yes, I did guess that they were going to be coffee tampers (or whatever they are called), believe it or not.

[@katiewaterrose]

Oh wow this turned out so cool! I love the way the recycled shavings look through the new resin.

[@Craftlngo]

I was thinking of bottle stoppers or openers. But coffee tampers are way more fitting considering the prior work!

[@danduntz9112]

I really liked how these came out, and it’s a very clever idea!

[@bascodelagamma]

Great project! Thank you! When you removed the blanks from the cups, I had an idea. What if you made a red resin Solo cup? I think that would be cool! - Thanks again for your great work!

[@alataadvenavod]

Thay are so cool! I'm glad you made them. It was pleasure to watch this video.

[@rachelheyth3645]

I love the way you think. Im an avid recycler so well done. I was bamboozled as to what you were making. The tampers are so beautiful. I had often wondered if you can recycle the shavings. Thankyou on behalf of the planet :-) :-) :-)

[@eugeneengland7282]

I like #2 the best, it looks more comfortable in the hand.

[@stargazer1682]

For a second I thought you were making light fixtures/lamp shades. That'd be interesting with this technique and the patterns you get.

[@RebelBart67]

Wasn't sure what they were but I love all 3!

[@Emu19]

7:22 "Wizard staff toppers!!" 8:09 "Oh... What's a coffee tamper?" Lmaoo

[@catrionayoung4116]

I absolutely love watching what you create, recycling what you had from the coffee shavings came out great, I look forward to when your on to see what you will create next👍 Cats 😸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚀❤️

[@urignorance2922]

The beautiful shift knobs you could make

[@angrybigjak]

Best looking damned coffee tampers I've ever seen!

[@jacksmancave170]

The recycled resin gave it almost a smoky appearance. Very cool!

[@StarTraveler649]

At first I thought you were making gear shift knobs. Came out great !

[@naolmstead]

I like the shape of #2, but I think #1 is the best result in the end. I really like the density of color vs transparency of it.

[@Smith.S.E.]

Great glamor shots at the end, lovely work as usual

[@davedavem]

These look great! I like that the effect you got couldn't have been achieved if you didn't use recycled shavings.

[@claudevieaul1465]

They do look wicked cool! Initially I thought these would make a nice gearshift knob, but it makes more sense to have them near your espresso machine 😎🤘☕

[@crystalpinkston1718]

Nice job Ben Thank you. I'd like to see a project made from the shavings of something more colorful please.

[@Questchaun]

Wow amazing would be a cool shift knob too. Just wow!!!

[@davidmeyer9204]

Very Nice Ben! Thanks for sharing!

[@caelestio]

Yes!!! Now I want these!!!! Well done!

[@a.harrington1634]

Number 3 is definitely my favourite shape. And how cute! Coffee presses out of coffee (and resin) pieces. 😆

[@thenemosix6835]

Those came out really cool! Thanks for the video.

[@killingcarter7752]

I honestly thought you were making shift knobs and was thoroughly disappointed lol. But still beautiful work man... Good job

[@candaceparsons529]

Absolutely awesome. No 3 is my favorite

[@newbiegamelover4767]

I would not have guessed what those were. I don't think I've ever even heard of them. I really thought they were going to be gearshift knobs. Also, personal favorite is the one on the right.

[@tshow68]

Your talent is truly amazing!!!!

[@amandatallis9875]

Gearstick holders number 3. They are really nice I really like them .

[@sandramays795]

This made me think a pepper mill out of peppercorns would look really cool 😎❤️☮️

[@alejandroelcid]

I had never heard of a coffee tamper until now, I had to look it up as I don't drink coffee. In hindsight, adding coffee beans into the shavings could have potentially added more "coffee" to the theme. It came out great all the same.

[@LisaVornhagen]

Those are really cool! Really interesting. I think my favorite is #2, although all three are really great.

[@hollypierce3076]

Those are going to be cool!! They all turned out great! I like the oval shape with the lightest color to it!!

[@Andoryuuu]

I really like how these turned out!

[@zamnelna]

They all look great Ben!

[@NORFIE123456]

I actually thought you were making 3 more gear knobs at first! A barista tool didnt cross my mind until you said it at the end! But as ever, fantastic job =]

[@hihogandalfaway]

It's really interesting that the shavings went as clear as they did - I remember a previous recycling video in which the clear shavings were still visible Maybe it's different resins at work, or the coffee particles are disguising the residual fogginess

[@austinlindsay8366]

I hope your making shift knobs. If so 2 is my favorite. Great work

[@HeleneLogan]

These would be awesome gearshift knobs. Nice!

[@MrMikeyt65]

I can't pick a favorite Ben. They're all great 👍👍

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

These look really good. I thought you were turning some gear shift knobs. Not hardly. But they look great.

[@lilylaramie2017]

I kept thinking shift knobs, but they seemed a little small. Was surprised at the end!
