DipIt #20: Clockworks!

[@MayMetalProductions]

These were my watch gears that I sent him! Thank you so much Peter for making such a beautiful piece out of them! I see you even used one of my failed jewellery pieces which makes it even better! I'm so happy with how it turned out, you have no idea! Please can everyone like this so Peter can see? I'd HIGHLY appreciate it!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I read EVERY comment. Thank you so much for the parts!. There are a ton there, I need to come up with some more projects!

[@MayMetalProductions]

Peter Brown How about a pendant with a clockwork heart encased within. That'll be a pretty cool challenge for you I think

[@irenedavo3768]

MayMetal Productions wow!

[@mary9983]

Those gears are amazing! Where do you pick them or the watches/clocks you cannibalize up from?

[@kaliwatson3948]

I know it's been two years but, which ones the pendant?

[@xFanGame23]

5:39 oh no oh no o h n o O H N O

[@peterbrownwastaken]

And then there was a cut, as I slipped into total freak out mode.

[@Kaysler]

Peter Brown I'd love to see a supercut of your failures and freakouts

[@djbass101]

I thought in my head; well now the clock has a red border...

[@thehost9817]

OH YEAH!

[@christophersherman-dill8239]

Hickory Dickory Doc The tray screwed up the Clock.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

HAHA! Yeah it did.

[@Dman0001]

please make an actual clock from the clock works resin

[@negativeinfinity4387]

Poety, my friend.

[@_.-.]

Thin sheets of some random metal cut into the shape of numbers and submerged along the rest of the pieces would've been ideal. At least 3, 6, 9 and 12

[@slimebunny5700]

Lmao 69

[@scruffsbycartoonfish2301]

Make a frisbee with clock parts, time flies!

[@ForTwnT420]

scruffs why doesn't this have more likes????

[@scruffsbycartoonfish2301]

Rainy Daze what, the video or what I said?

[@AnesidoraAston]

That pun is terrible. Have a like.

[@doubledarefan]

Time for more clock puns.

[@HomeGrownPyrotechnics]

why has no one commented this yet: time flies when you are having fun. (throwing the Frisbee)

[@mel7953]

As you were spraying the pizza pan, I thought "wow, it doesn't take much mold release" I love it, very cool!! Have a great trip.

[@verneshabritt3262]

Melissa Huysentruyt same

[@CheshireCad]

Spoiler alert. It *does* take much mold release.

[@Dea_Ex_Machina]

I was literally thinking "Damn, I've been using too much mold release" when he sprayed it, I think I'll 'stick' with my method.

[@rx323bug]

When he torched off the bubbles in the black layer he burnt off the mould release that's why it's only stuck above the level of the black resin

[@wupme]

Its because its cheap silicone. With high grade silicone you won't even need mold release.

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Even with the "issues" you had, this is by far one of my favorite projects you've done. I'm 100% with you on the depth created by some of the gears sinking while others started to float. The black background was perfect for this project. Really excellent, Peter!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thank you Mark! I really appreciate that.

[@TheMetalButcher]

If you have the time and do it again, I'd do a lot of layers with a lot less gears per. Give it a ton of depth, but the same overall number of elements.

[@aidran007]

Classic DipIt! Chicka chicka - Ohhhhh. YEAHHHHHHH..... 😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@krtwood]

An hourglass filled with the tiny clockwork bits instead of sand would be cool.

[@amperzand9162]

They would get hooked into one another and jam it up.

[@krtwood]

Not if they were each in a little ball of resin :)

[@theconnoisseur3762]

May be the dumbest idea I've ever heard

[@aierie-dragonslayer]

krtwood tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AwesomeButImpractical

[@aierie-dragonslayer]

Steven Gomes You mean the coolest.

[@Grellibe]

I see the work mat is looking a bit worn again. I would love to see another peel cleaning! It's always so satisfying to see stuff like that.

[@MrsInAbox]

Anon Ymous peel cleans are seriously the best :)

[@bulsi]

I think the release agent broke down from the heat of the torch. Perhaps remove the project between pours and re apply release agent and pop it back in.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I can see that. I have to say, it was crazy surprising. I've never seen silicone stick like that.

[@Saikou0270]

Silicone also breaks down in the presence of high temperature as far as I am aware, considering the thin layer that was taken away I wouldn't be surprised if the edge was worn down after repeatedly being heated throughout the pans lifetime. Although that's just my guess.

[@he-mansuncle7661]

Peter Brown if the resin isn't properly mixed, this can also make the silicone stick. I believe that it wasn't the mold release that caused the clock to stick. Most likely it was the silicone pan itself. The thin silicone molds that are made for a different purpose do have a limited amount of pours until it stops loosing the non stick properties. I have the same silicone pan and it's happened to me on more than one occasion. Sometimes you can remove the resin piece from the mold before the initial cure and you can get a few more uses out of the silicone pan.

[@daintyturtle5711]

Peter Brown I work with resin a lot and have ruined silicone molds by over torching them. It compromises the silicone and causes the resin to bind to it

[@wupme]

It happened to me too, and i never torched or used a heatgun on that silicone mold. It even looks the exact same color as the one peter has. And it also only stuck on the sides, the last like 10mm of the edge. Peter was yours also made in Italy? Also this has never happened to my selfmade silicone molds.

[@goatbot9733]

"Simple" "Dip it" Please choose one

[@annyongpanda]

"I'm a pizza pan you lunatic!" I love your sense of humor. It looks gorgeous. Black resin and metal always looks gorgeous to me.

[@annibobonnie]

“I need a frappucino” Girl. Same

[@alfonsoalonzo]

The thing is i bought this pizza pan and never used it for pizza and so it committed suicide here in the shop ~peter brown 2018

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Clearly, the only possibility that makes real sense.

[@alfonsoalonzo]

Peter Brown to true to true glad to see you go back to your roots via happy accidents and pizza pan

[@Raonodar]

“I’m a pizza pan you lunatic!!!”

[@JackmanWorks]

The clock is cool and all but I need to get me some of those orange gloves!

[@lianchan3197]

Hi

[@bigchooch4434]

An exploded diagram view of something encased in resin would be amazing

[@peterbrownwastaken]

That's a cool idea. I wonder if we could do that to like an old ipod and still have it be functional?

[@TheZakimus]

That would be pretty awesome.

[@MagisterMalleus]

Oh that would be sweet

[@PrincessSixThirteen]

Peter Brown Pretty please?!

[@SuperCloneRanger]

what an awesome idea.

[@GeekBuildersNet]

The clock looks great. Would also be a great countertop design for a jewelry store

[@The_Forge_Master]

Or a clock repair shop.

[@Pauleeeeeeee]

"A simple dip it" Haha, very funny Peter

[@peterbrownwastaken]

The best-laid plans of mice and men...

[@MaxMakerChannel]

So you didn’t have time to fix the clock...

[@peterbrownwastaken]

There's irony in there somewhere isn't there? :)

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Peter Brown There is a joke here... Have a good trip to England!

[@sparkyprojects]

I think when you heated the bubbles, you may have reduced the effectiveness of the release, if you do something like this again, maybe demould after each layer and spray more release, put it back in the mould and pour the next. btw, Amazon do steampunk cogs. I think i would also have started with the clear, added another clear to put the cogs on, then the final black, would have made a nicer 'finished' front.

[@maysar4159]

Sparky Projects Never worked with it, but i assumed it was the time it spent just sitting on the pan. Kind of like other sprays, it dries and doesnt work or runs down to the lower parts. Not sure though.

[@sparkyprojects]

Well it may dry out naturally, but the heat would quicken that or evaporate it.

[@insanejughead]

Sparky Projects From what you said, it would make sense that the heat burned off the mold release after the initial, black resin layer, as only the clear layers stuck.

[@antilitarded4142]

Sparky Projects......I believe the release spray has a working time of only 3-7 mins.......most of it does anhow

[@qwertyTRiG]

Sparky Projects "Just glue some gears on it and call it steampunk!"

[@pollyg562]

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT YOURE DOING RESIN ETC, BUT WHEN YOU SPRAYED THE RELEASE I THOUGHT 'WOW YOU DONT NEED MUCH OF THAT RELEASE STUFF" WELL

[@yellowice0]

Thank you, I was about to comment the same thing roughy, I was screaming at my monitor, he didn't use nearly enough to cover it properly

[@sircaran]

I think the release burned off with the torch, if you notice the black layer didn't stick

[@thepuresh5671]

2:11 there is something so satisfying about that shiny black resin :D

[@MicrowavedAlastair5390]

The Puresh I approve of your profile pic. (Insert quote from your favorite Doctor here, mine would be: Geronimo!!!)

[@jexikavindictive]

Mmm yesss 😍

[@gemni5683]

This is by far my most favorite dip-it EVER!!! And the best part is it looks like you have enough clockwork for another project!! Have fun in England, and bring back something unique to dip!

[@xingcat]

It looks amazing! Even with the unexpected issues, the clockworks are just so beautiful against the black background.

[@bizmarkie9112]

I love how you show any and all mistakes you make and your sense of humor that comes along with it. That's what helps set this channel apart from others because of your personality and a great "host'/owner of this kind of channel.

[@colinsetford4179]

Nice idea for a clock and I will see you at Makers Central, just an hour up the road from me.

[@BootlegAdult]

Colin Setford jealous! I can't attend due to funds :-:

[@BrothersMake]

Beautiful Peter! Watching that scratch disappear was total magic! Awesome to meet you at Makers Central. Hope you had a safe trip back.

[@Somnifex.]

"24 by 7 support" Too much time in the shop... 😂

[@galli0]

ForbiddenForest hahha didn't hear that the first time 8:29

[@dannybonessi]

I love watches and clocks. This is my favorite dip it you have done. That is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

[@JedidiahShultzIrishCraftsman]

Incredible dip it Peter!!😊 The different depths add a lot...it’s to bad your pizza pan decided to kick off this mortal planet 😄 loved seeing the repair process! Looks fantastic 👊👍💚🍀

[@Thalka07]

you know what i love from peter brown? he stays calm when something goes wrong and he is one of few people on youtube that actually have talent. and he is an exellent singer!

[@rockingcharlieb]

Loved this dip it. Can’t wait to see you in Birmingham, bought my ticket last week specifically as you’ll be there 😁😁

[@kaellindstedt-bendt4680]

beautiful project, the black background is so striking with the clock bits. Happy to see another Dip It! Have a fun trip!!

[@Gantorin]

I really enjoy you, Mrs Brown, and your work! I also find your humour and singing delightful. So for all you do... thank you ありがとうございます - arigatou gozaimasu

[@rihndou]

Timothy Messer I like 「おつかれさまでした」too.

[@theallnaturalme]

Amazing news! Love watching your creative projects and following your updates. Have fun in Birmingham!

[@he-mansuncle7661]

I wonder what it would've looked like if the base color was Orange! Plus the added *A Clockwork Orange* pun would've went over well lol

[@deanohara8000]

Peter i wish you could see the joy on my face when i get home and see you've uploaded a new dip it! LOVE ALL THE VIDEOS KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!!!!

[@jaykaycee20]

Steampunk vibes.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Careful. the Steampunk folks are a vicious tribe. I've learned my lesson after a few, "THAT'S NOT STEAMPUNK" comments! :)

[@TinySwanGrandAdventures]

Peter Brown You keep getting that reaction because the gears aren't serving a working usable purpose in the functionality of the clock. I personally love the aesthetic of it even with being a Steampunk nerd. X3

[@jacqueskammerling8444]

Life is not prefect and I just love that you show that yes mistakes happen but you also show how to fix it so if it happened to us. We would know how to fix it too. Great job the clock looks breathtakingly beautiful. Glad to see a Dip it episode again.

[@TheMuzShop]

Those little clock parts are super cool. Great idea and build Peter. I’ll see you in the UK. 👍👍

[@whitepinehokie84]

I adore this project, even with the issues you had. The black with the clock parts is just so incredibly cool! Also, thank you for including the shot of the bubbles going away under the torch - sooooo satisfying! :)

[@jemmacolgan1696]

Fabulous piece. The exact same thing happened to me. I destroyed a silicone mould I had and it was due to the resin getting too hot and bonding to the silicone. It's because the blow torch is too hot and super heats the resin. Better to use just a lighter.

[@buddhagreene9010]

I don't know how I found this channel but it's been over a year now. I regret nothing because Peter and his mates always have solid content. Bless you and all the stuff you do.

[@beckyjaysharp22]

I'm so excited for you coming to the UK. You're the only reason me and my partner are traveling across a country to go to Makers Central! :D

[@ImLunaShesZeta]

Peter, once again job well done. My husband and I love your videos so much!

[@thepuresh5671]

1:26 that actually sounds really good, Peter :D

[@johnmcdonald7644]

The song is love potion #9

[@pixellpython2814]

He has a surprisingly good singing voice lol

[@xtramail3]

This is probably my favorite project that you’ve ever done! So cool!

[@justinschannel8546]

I’ve missed theses and I have another question idea for a dip it dip a whole taco (meat and all) and make it to a hammer

[@justinschannel8546]

How to you tag peter

[@Raspberrysorbaet]

I really like how it turned out! You are such an inspirational and admirable creator. Even when things go wrong, you persevere and do you best to fix it.

[@MichaelAlm]

The clock looks great! See you at Maker Faire

[@frankie051789]

I LOVE how this turned out, but I totally understand when you can see your own mistake. Thanks for uploading. You’re still one of my favorite people on KZbin :) it was fun to see an old style dip it.

[@CcDasher]

this for whatever reason reminds me of an I-spy Book from back in the day

[@creau1]

You know the best part about this channel? You make amazing things but you show all of it, you don't edit out your mistakes you show them and show how to fix them.

[@TheTmw86]

R.I.P silicone pizza pan. May you finally be able to help bake pizzas in heaven!

[@dudegpo1YT]

I bloody love these videos. Idk how to describe it but they all seem so authentic and experimental. Keep it going. I love seeing what you can make

[@BigRonxxxx]

Peter the clock looks great ,how about a piece of edge banding it may look really nice along with the look of the clock,all the best,to you and yours,more Mrs.Brown y'all are great on camera together (-:

[@meliegrnd541]

Your clock is amazing Peter ! Absolutely love it ! Love your Dip It show ! Have a nice trip to Birmingham !

[@r0xdab0x96xo]

"Looove potion number 9" Liked your rendition, sounded smoother

[@devilschild2597]

I LOVE it when you reference/sing those old songs! Reminds me of when I was little and pure 😁🌸❤

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

This is gorgeous and I love clocks and in particular alllll of those tiny pieces that together make a brilliant piece of work worn on the wrist. Just think about it, how in the heck comes up on making a watch or a clock or those gigantic one's in a hallway? Beautiful! You made something beautiful! And that mold was out of his mind.. trying to destroy your work! But then he didn't knew you better Mhuahaha ! You fixed it great and yeah a other layer would have been better but it is a clock and if it tics like clockwork than it will be fine 👌😎😊

[@pineapplevendetta5097]

I've never worked with resin or turned wood, but man, I love your channel so much! You are just so fun to watch!

[@c.e.f4916]

Turtles aren’t a color. They are a lifestyle

[@cmobius7705]

It is beautiful! I’m so glad you were able to repair it.

[@thepuresh5671]

The 3D effect it has is just amazing :D

[@notquiteripe5907]

A return to form!! Love your channel Peter and what an awesome project!!!

[@CSkwirl]

Watching this and thinking, I wonder if you can make a scrying mirror by pouring black resin over the glass. It probably doesn't fit with the theme of the channel though. Nice clock however!

[@jmakes3745]

Great project Peter - really looking forward to seeing you this weekend!!!!

[@wupme]

"No pancakes, no exploding resin"... meh unsubcribed... From another channel, not yours, lets watch this. The SAME thing happened to me with silicone baking molds for half spheres. I think it has to do with the quality of the silicone. Because it happened even with mold release. My selfmade molds from 2 part silicone never had this issue, despite me never using mold release on them.

[@sgibbons77]

Best Dip-It so far! So beautiful - you are my hero sir!

[@LukeRT]

You did do a really bad job at spraying the release agent with all fairness

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Yes. I noticed that when editing. I normally go nuts with it

[@LukeRT]

Not trying to be mean or anything just very noticeable compared to you're other videos the spray was not up to par for the pizza mold RIP :(

[@katherineoakey3681]

After you made the home made dye challenges, I used an electric coffee grinder to grind a heap of charcoal from my fire pit, added a bit of black glitter and pearling powder and it's the best!!! Today when I saw this, my cogs just arrived.... perfect timing to use my charcoal pigment powder and cogs!!! KEEP IT UP.... Love your videos especially the ones that don't use the lathe... I'm not THAT good lol. THANK YOU SO MUCH from down under (Aussieland!)

[@adamemac]

*"I'M A PIZZA PAN YOU LUNATIC!"* 😂😆😂😆

[@takitamo]

Removing bubbles is my favorite part 😍 Soooo satisfying !

[@thepuresh5671]

Wow that is actually a really great idea for a DipIt :D

[@lizanatortm8598]

Absolutely LOVE this and the way it came out!!! Awesome job as always Peter!!!

[@DarrelCarson]

Should of left it in the Orange pizza pan and called it "clockwork Orange"! 😆

[@mc4kvb]

It turned out great. I love it! Thanks for sharing! Have fun at Makers Central! Be safe and take care.

[@RobertMilesAI]

Congratulations on the much improved pronunciation of 'Birmingham'!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thank you. I tried my best! :)

[@Twitchi]

literally the best I have ever heard a none brit say it

[@malcolmforsythe6440]

You make some of the coolest things I've ever had the privilege to see. Thank you for all of your projects 😊

[@MysteryLullaby]

Peter: THIS is going to be a simple, easy project. The universe: how about we don’t tho?!? Mrs. brown: Oh well, LETS BURN IT!

[@nordicnugz]

Probably one of the best "dip its" you've done! That's awesome!

[@Name-cw2gc]

I like the song 😂

[@billie4753]

i have never done any form of shopwork and have never had family that has a shop but i find this stuff so interesting and have been bingewatching your channel all week

[@Etna.]

Nice Yello impression! Only thing I dipped today were some chicken nuggets into BBQ sauce.

[@nickzammeti]

Cool video Peter .. see you at Makers Central buddy 🤗🤗👍🏽

[@TruSpec_Gaming]

Couldn't you just keep going up on the sand paper count then buff it at the end.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Totally. If time wasn't an issue I probably would have just sanded the whole surface down to 220 grit and worked all the way through my abrasives. I know I can get a killer surface like that. It was just a timing issue. I waited till the day before this needed to be posted (last day of April) to demold it and film the outro.

[@henrytollins]

Peter Brown, I'm sorry but you're making time (pieces). I don't see the issue. You have all the time you needed.

[@bunkertons]

Super cool!!! Congrats Peter, have fun in England!

[@TacticalKiwi4862]

We haven't had a dip it for a while. This is why i love watching your videos!

[@rachael6823]

your wife is awesome. she always sounds so enthusiastic and supportive.

[@chickem184]

I usually don't comment on videos I like but I haven't even watched the video and I already know I'll enjoy it. I love your videos so much that during your non uploading days I just rewatch the old ones. Don't ever stop dipping things 👍🏼👍🏼

[@katl.8080]

LOVE the clock! And have a blast at Makers Central!

[@tia-8802]

It turned out beautifully, I'm so glad you were able to save it.

[@garyhayden2358]

I tried doing a coffee table with around 3 thousand watch parts. Tiny gears and hairsprings etc. It was beautiful. Half hour later it became hot and a total disaster. This was about 30 years ago when epoxies were still iffy. My mistake, I should have tried a smaller sample before just going for it. Oh well. I am ready to try it again as I have many many watch parts again. Wish me luck.

[@franciesmae]

Super creative idea, I love this. And nice touch on adding depth with the clock parts

[@blkdrgn1132]

by far my absolute fav dip-it. the accidental varied layers of the clockworks is amazing. my second fav was the death bowl you sent carl.

[@rebeccak9199]

Ugh! I wanted to cry when it stuck to the mold!! So glad you managed to extract it.

[@bournemouthlass]

To be honest Peter I thought that was a nice save. If I had just seen the final product and not the video leading up to it I would never have guessed you had so much difficulty with this, good job.

[@call-me-pigeon]

Super amazing project, as per usual! It is always so exciting to see what you will do next!

[@ayraen120]

I think that when the flame licked over the areas of mold release that had yet to be covered by the resin it stopped that layer of mold release from working possibly? The black layer seemed to release perfectly well but the layers that came afterwards seemed to stick.
