Getting Supplies for our Small Craft Business - Ben's Worx Vlog

[@janicecorbett3288]

I’m glad Nicole said something about salvaging the frog…. It would look awesome

[@MilkTheBandit]

Nichole keep growing out that grey! Show all that wisdom you've gained over the years!!! I Love both your channels, you never disappoint.

[@StrandedLifeform]

Being American in northern portion of the Midwest sates where it gets cold 🥶, it's so weird to hear someone talking about how hot it is and having the AC going in the car, then go into a store and be greeted with a bunch of Christmas decorations. Nicole has a great idea about salvaging the frog. Hope it works, please give us a reveal when it's done. Someone else suggested giving the disks to Courtney so she can make earrings. I second that suggestion.

[@mel.e2675]

To answer your parking question, I prefer to back into a space and away from people. Lately, depending on how my body is acting, I've been parking closer to the front of stores. Just not too close to anyone. Thanks for taking us shopping! I like seeing what you have in the store's down there! Much love to all! 😊💜.

[@luckypnut]

The white flower that Nicole picked from that garden, is called Lily of the Nile. I had a garden full of the purple ones quite a few years ago. Loved it when they were all in bloom. Got my pink donut a couple days ago - I love it! Also love the blue sparkly heart hug - very pretty!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou!!! We really appreciate you 😊

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Thank you so kindly for taking us along shopping. I always wanted to see what a Bunnings store was. In Canada we call them parking lot specials when someone dings our vehicles. I always park as far away as I can from the stores. Extra exercise and less chance of being hit. Excellent funtastic Vlog. Thank you so kindly and so looking forward to seeing your next one. Take great care and keep loving ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@tenaciousinme]

I love the idea for the frog on the book! What a happy accident!

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

Speaking of plants....I've been seeing ads for a "plant doctor" (can't think of the exact name right now). All you have to do is take a pic of it, and the ap will diagnose what's wrong with the plant....and the best way to fix it. Sounds very cool...as long as it actually works.

[@sandrabrown2431]

Nicole you should make video of you making the books for KZbin love to see

[@AussieJill]

Agreed. I’d love to see how they are made.

[@LureneNZ]

This has been on my Wishlist of things to see as well

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

I really enjoyed this video.....shopping, behind the scenes stuff, and especially the playful banter between you guys!!!

[@stephanieruggles7360]

So nice to see how Nicole supports Bens weight loss. And Nicoles open hair looks gorgeous - but I fully understand that she puts it up due to that scorching heat. And also those shopping sprees. Great vlog as always! About that blowout - like Bob Ross always said "There are only happy little accidents". And who knows? That frog book might become a new bestseller in your shop...

[@donaldfinch1411]

I have little willpower when Fast Food calls out to me like that! Stay strong, Ben! (And good on you Nicole.)

[@johnkriete2152]

W of my favorite bands has a song called “Pheonix Rising” and it always plays in my head when you show your Pheonix’s. Lol. The band is Disciple. Have you ever thought of a Kangasus? You know, kangaroo with wings.

[@Flarecobra]

Parking for me really depends on if I'm alone or with someone. If I'm alone, I'm either going next to the shopping cart corrals or places where I'm not having to worry about other cars. If I'm with someone, I'm parking pretty close to the building as it's typically my mother I'm with, and she has been getting issues with walking. Also, the laser is under a very pretty quilt there.

[@MarteAkaMortii]

frogbook idea is awesome! and u can use the broken mold for the frogleg keychains!🐸win win🤩

[@janiceevans]

I love the eggs😍😍😍 so wish I could afford a few... Sadly I can't afford one😢. But I live watching you guys and seeing the end result

[@woodbywayne]

#QOTD what car have you got under the cover that's sometimes shown in the vlogs ???🤔🤔

[@jacqtubing]

Love the idea Nicole!!!! Froggy book!!!

[@wendyjones3586]

My Frog came today! its even better in person ! i got the dark green sparkly one with red feet .. What cool things you have to work with . I have always wanted to use a lathe but as I live in a flat that is no go. But I love watching you both use all the cool gadgets you have ..

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Wendy, we really appreciate it 😊

[@garystearns5922]

The silicone baking mats are cheap and you can cut them any size you want and place it on the shelves for the pressure pots, just an idea love from the United States

[@alisonmary1443]

Just seeing a new vlog up puts a smile on my wee face. I enjoyed the trip to the shops, thanks for that. It's freezing here so I just watch things that warm the heart 😂 lol. Enjoy the sunshine. I was thinking the circles from the shelves could be used for some cute hanging baubles, little mini ones, maybe a Courtney (fairy fingers) project. Thank you both, Love courtney, Jake and the fur kids.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Alison 😊

[@shanmclean2553]

Give the little wooden disks to Courtney to turn into earrings

[@KatieSmith8]

Oooh I love this idea or even necklaces with the flowers and butterflies 🥰

[@BacktheBlue60]

Still here at the end. I'll shut the lights off on my way out 🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@marcellek]

I loved this video. Seeing you guys driving around the Hyperdome was an eye opener. Sometimes you forget how much things change over the years. Last time I was there was back in the 90s when we lived in Redland Bay, so I hardly recognised the place. I really like your dragon quilt too! Keep up the fun and awesome work, we all love it!

[@BacktheBlue60]

Maybe the actual frog was old. I can attest to the fact that the older one gets, there can be unexpected blowouts. 😅😊 😉

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

😄

[@diamondperidot]

😂

[@michelleoliveira2853]

Even Florida is getting cool weather right now. And Florida is hot as heck too

[@mattersofthehartbynat8815]

Another awesome Vlog guys!! Thanks so much! ♥️♥️🇦🇺

[@iamonlyme9514]

it's been soooooo long since I visited the Hyperdome also those flowers are from the Agapanthus plant, species called (Lily of the Nile) 😊

[@LilyChilman777]

It's fun getting to see what you guys have for Christmas decorations. I haven't seen a light up kangaroo, but I did see a Highland Cow inflatable the other day.

[@anthonylovesey1137]

#QOTD What made you decide to upload your very first video to youtube?

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

I think i would be really happy if I could avoid winter all together and be able to travel between the US and Australia. I have a low tolerance for cold these days.

[@garzilla7123]

You guys just have so much fun know matter what you do, even shopping that is so cool. 🙂👍👍👍

[@tinaice1435]

It tooted 😂😂😂

[@anniehartley8851]

Question of the day. Do you follow Daniel Cooper? And if you do , do you ever do pietrie and add glue to your resin? Also have you ever put spices and dried herbs in resin? Would you ever do that? Because you could get interesting colours.

[@Gantorin]

Blues Traveler plating in the store... nice!

[@Games8-D]

eat meals in the morning, noon and evening that fill you up for a few hours. you can find that on the internet. then you don't have to deny yourself anything concerning candy and chips. you are full and it doesn't fit anymore. much easier than trying not to snack. 😃

[@hannable3871]

Fun seeing you in a Chicago Bulls hat. Being that I live in the chicago lands.

[@maryjensen5112]

Here in the states we call the Marble Queen a Pothos. It is a variegated form of the solid green Pothos.

[@candymatek3]

Thank you for picking my qotd. It was like winning the lottery. You were closer than most with my last name, it's pronounced like automatic (Matek).

[@FishiesGoPook]

I adore that hand egg ... just out of my price range right now. I also get easily distracted by sparklies and phoenixes lol

[@Coyo-Tea]

OMD Your doggos are just adorable ❤❤❤❤

[@aliciaswofford989]

Love watching your channel but it always makes me think that it's spring/summer in Australia while it's fall/winter here in the US. Keep up the great work.

[@Pixxxxxxie]

That light up kangaroo reminds me of a funny story from my country. A city in Norway ordered a big light up horse for christmas to decorate the city centre, but when it arrived they quickly noticed it was in fact a kangaroo, not a horse. Either way, they went with it, people liked it and even made it a sort of mascot for the city. His name is Ken-Guru🦘

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

I'm not able to get out shopping much so it's fun to go with you two! That laser cutter is really cool! The little circles that are left after cutting could be used to create a riveted look, kind of steam punk, on a book cover. While you were looking at the signs in the office store, I noticed one for "no food". It showed a burger and a drink inside a circle with a diagonal line through it. I sure thought it fit with your discussion about eating out! Thank you for the fun today! Take care 😊

[@bensworxvlogs]

Hahaha yeah I should get it for the fridge

[@SuperLemonAdam]

64AUD is about 41USD. Great vlog, as ever. Stay cool down there!

[@roseosullivanfromIreland]

Hi, it was a good old day. Take care.

[@LadyLucas01]

Round disk would look cool in egg or mini keyrings

[@sandradavid4080]

Garden plants at officeworks was a Gazania

[@blazer5154]

You could use the drops from your pressure pot shelves to make custom coins or badges for freebies in orders or something.

[@AussieJill]

Ohh frog book, brilliant idea Nicole. I do love a shopping trip to Bunnings and Officeworks 😎

[@ladyphoenix1073]

I wish I was where you are. I'll take the heat in a day. I live in Ohio in the USA and we got our first snowfall of the season 😢

[@lorenehughes]

The purple flowers at office works are agapanthas

[@AlienLeader4]

Awesome to see the day in the life type videos. Super excited that you have book mark molds on the way. Can not wait too see those made. Keep up the awesome work. 👽

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

ok when you showed the wood you already cut, i saw some horse heads. i would love to see a future project with them since i love horses so much

[@vezhopkins714]

can you do another vid of a trip to Woolworths when you go, im in the UK and they have all shut over here and I miss it !

[@Frostyblu]

$41.69 is what your first items would have cost in the United States 💜

[@hannable3871]

Yeah, but the mdf in the states cost a bit more.

[@Frostyblu]

​@@hannable3871Thanks for letting me know in case I ever need to get any 💜

[@michelleoliveira2853]

Make a peace frog…pretty please

[@cathyomalley2772]

I try to park near a trolley return

[@mom42boys]

It's 33° here right now too. 33° FAHRENHEIT!! 😂 Love from Minnesota, USA. ❤

[@diamondperidot]

Where can I buy the Nicole’s frog shirt?

[@bensworxvlogs]

Temu

[@sweetiemalene2620]

what dash cam are you use

[@bensworxvlogs]

Blackvue

[@sweetiemalene2620]

@ look like a good one i will get that for my boyfriend

[@janreynolds2476]

64 Australian dollars would be 41.57 in US.😊

[@mariedodds6307]

I got in my car this morning to pick up my granddaughter and it was -4.5°C, with crunchy snow. Here in Yorkshire, UK, so jealous of the Brisbane weather! 😅

[@bensworxvlogs]

🥶

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome Video Ben & Nichole and i hope you are all well👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@drhannibelle]

Next time you're Temu shopping. Grab some shoe charm bases, for crocs. I would loooove a set of tiny frog jibbits for my green crocs!!

[@justplayin7799]

Is it possible to cut the silicone mats using your shelf design on the laser cutter? If works, they would be a perfect size match.

[@stellarart3444]

What do you want for Christmas from the US?

[@bensworxvlogs]

Anything you want

[@stellarart3444]

@bensworxvlogs Well, you got it. I'm sending art I made too. Love you guys!!!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Awesome!!!

[@AlpacaMade]

Thanks for the second look at the X-tool. I'm still on the fence about it, so it was good to see it again😉👍

[@bensworxvlogs]

You’re going to love tomorrow’s video on the main channel 😊

[@juliethorn1926]

Love how Ben states we will go to Bunnings I only need the board, oh and this and this oh and plants lol my kind of shopping. I like to see your shopping trips.

[@krisslouf4638]

If you put ELMERS washable Clear Glue in your resin it will get slimy you add one drop of glue to one oz of resin try it and see

[@janreynolds2476]

Two weeks ago, you poured frogs with frogs inside, but I never saw you unmold them. Did I miss something? I watch both your channels 😊

[@bensworxvlogs]

Yeah we de molded them, I’m unsure which episode it was though

[@davidhanson2351]

Hello from Florida. Always enjoy your videos. Look forward to them every week. For Courtney signatures on her hug cards why don’t you get some of those colored sharpies to sign her name.

[@tonikimpel7891]

Love your shopping videos ❤😊

[@rodgerbagwell7643]

$64 Aus is approx $42 U.S. dollars

[@shanmclean2553]

I came home from Bunnings to find you had posted this 😮😅

[@kellyw.1779]

Hey Ben and Nicole! Great vlog. It never fails...you can park a mile away from the store, not a single car close by with a hundred open parking spaces and when you come out, someone has parked right next to you and you can't even open the car door!!🙄 The 64.00 y'all spent would be 41.56 here in America.🤑 Funny how it's now so hot there and here in Texas we finally got some cooler weather. It was so nice today, sunny and a high of 69 F, tonight it'll get down to maybe 51! We still have a little while before it really cools down and stays that way. You might could use those left over wood rounds for some company tags...laser cut/engrave "Ben's Worx" or "BW" on them. Or even Courtney's initials for her items. Drill a small hole and they could be added to the frog feet etc keychains. The sky is the limit with all your awesome laser cutters...too cool! Big hugs from Texas!🥰🤩

[@rastarickray]

Hi Ben and Nichole. Really enjoying the vlogs. My girlfriend and I ordered some things from Aliexpress that should be coming your way. They would not allow us to ad who it was from, so I am just reaching out to let you know it is from us in West Palm Beach, Florida. Most of the items will probably ship separately (that usually how aliexpress does things), but I think all but one thing is dragonflies. My girlfriend is eager to see you do something with dragonflies. There is also some holographic hearts that maybe Courtney could use. Thanks for what yall do.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou!!!!! I will keep an eye out 😊

[@markduggan3451]

Great video. It was nice to see some of the shops. It's crazy but I've been out looking for stuff for my printers in the past, and found it cheaper to just buy a new printer. Why do companies do that? It's adding to the plastic waste. I hope you don't get affected by any bush fires.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou! Yeah you would think the toners would be cheaper

[@ctempleman1401]

Ben and Nicole, you should take us to Bunnings on a Saturday for the famous fund raising sausage sizzle. Don't know if anywhere else has them. The Christmas tree you pointed out is the Albany Woolly Bush from W.A. They are so soft to touch.

[@shonaguthrie848]

Hot here in western Sydney for the next few days, and I don’t have a shower as my bathroom is being renovated

[@julietteneylon4243]

I love bunnings its one of my favouite places to go. Great vlog guys weird about frog mold though. I have sent a parcel from amazon for courtney to do i hope she likes it.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou!!!!

[@genajones2823]

So cool getting to go with you guys. It's about the only way I'm gonna get to see Australia. 😅 thanks for sharing.

[@elisabethk2655]

Now we know what happens when a Frog farts...

[@zzzrebelyellzzzgaming4225]

Come on get the dogs the pool

[@geoffwarnes9327]

Another great vlog guys love it ❤

[@LureneNZ]

I’ve just been shopping in Australia today too but from NZ. Amazon AU has finally started me off with my Christmas shopping and there are Black Friday sales on now too. Nicole, I feel you with the bucket loads of hair and the heat. We don’t get as hot here, low 30’s, but that’s bad enough for me. I found it hard enough dealing with the heat in Cairns one year and it was winter when I visited.

[@Jeff-oc6me]

I feel you guys about the heat I live in Vermont and it has been in the upper 40s here, I think that's like 4 ç. And another great video today ❤😂

[@jennieraup6612]

notice you sop at the Hyperdome, my favourite shopping centre!

[@robertmyrick860]

those little flowers you called daisy's are indeed daisy's. specifically "Bellis perennis" or an English daisy

[@jenniespradlin4909]

$64 Aussie dollars is about $41 US dollars

[@michellesuniqueboutique3405]

Tie dye frogs or skulls like Nicole's frog shirt

[@UniquelyCreated.by.Aleksa]

Whhaaaaaaaaaaaa I want a kangaroo Christmas decoration for my front yardddddd. Though being in Canada it would get stolen because they don’t exist here but I want oneeeee lol. Much love ❤❤❤

[@wheelsLRO]

#qotd I would love to know how your colors don't mix together?

[@horrorfan7148]

#qotd What was the very first item you sold on etsy? How much and did it leave Australia?

[@Frostyblu]

When I first started watching you videos you had just started using the color shifting powders. I was wondering what the mold was you used? I know it was an amimal. 💜 I think it would be cool if you did kangaroos or koalas 💜

[@bensworxvlogs]

We did the color shift on the frogs 😊

[@daztography1]

Loving your videos, love the cleetus shirt Ben. Would love to see you make some hot wheels eggs, maybe turn some into a gearknob

[@startrekuncleart2149]

#qotd can you put toothless the nightferry dragon in resin egg? it's from how to train your dragon 🐲

[@nailinartwithlisa759]

#qotd how many separate layers of resin can you pour and does it effect the structure strength? Also love the book idea for the frog!

[@hawkeye40778183]

This was an awesome video Ben and Nicole. It's cool to see the stores you guys go to buy your supplies. The hand dragon egg has been bought, and I bought it. The hand dragon egg was bought by me. The hand remind me of Thing from The Addams Family. #QOTD why is it when we see you and Nicole out driving in the vlogs you are always driving. Does Nicole ever drive when both of you go out?

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou!!! We really appreciate you 😊 yeah I always drive, it’s just a habit since Nicole didn’t get her license until she was 26

[@ellishansen8115]

Love the vlog. I can't believe how cheap that bottle of liquitex medium was!! I just bought one last week for $ 24! Love the eggs with the different bases, very cool! I also love Nicole's frog shirt. Are you selling those?
