Hi guys, in the U.S; we usually call them subs. Some areas call them grinders. A burger is definitely a burger, and both are delicious!!

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

Here in PA we call them hoagies.

[@teariana1]

California sometimes calls them hoagies too, but ever since the Subway chain became popular it's used less and less

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

@@ellishansen8115 The funniest thing I ever saw at a Cabin Fever conference (people’s winter projects to avoid insanity) was a model boat made to look like a sub sandwich with a little nuclear symbol flag on the top-a nuclear submarine. Watching it zip around the model boat pool, sometimes even diving down into the water, and people’s reaction to it was worth the price of admission.

[@jasoncarpenter4116]

I have always enjoyed your videos, and with the addition of your wife in to the videos have made the content even better! Most couples can only dream of having the playful and loving relationship you two have! Keep up the great work!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou

[@loisanderson3283]

If you use a dotting tool and go around the edges with it, it should will help dislodge the bubbles. Also another thing I have done is fill it half way pick it up and squeeze around the edges and then fill the rest of the way it will help.

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

What about a PVC pipe? If it's too big you can just add some paper as shims 💡 Or find a ready made 3D print file and scale it to the correct size 💡 How comes when you get a stain you want to get off it stays and when you want it to stay it goes 😅 Also it might help to set the paint pens with some heat before washing.

[@LisaOliverauthor]

Isn't it hilarious that if you spill paint on your top (like I do soooo often) it never comes out in the wash, but when you want it to stay where you put it, it disappears :) Have a great week :)

[@bensworxvlogs]

Haha yeah

[@sandraatkinson8855]

Nicole try filling the bubbles with a bit of colored uv. You can also run a small micro brush around the tops to take out the bubbles. I like them.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@toddvail2630]

We definitely call Subs, Subs, and Burgers Burgers. Also, not sure of the size of that mold you were trying to figure out how to strengthen, but maybe it'd fit inside some pvc pipe? Or I'm 100% you could turn something either out of wood or leftover resin to surround it & keep it in shape! My wife thinks you two are so cute, she enjoys watching & the way you interact together. 😊

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@teariana1]

Lol I said the same thing about the pvc, I'd seen it on another channel though I don't remember whose.

[@ratchelmcmahon9175]

You could try setting the other inks with an iron before you wash it :) make sure to use some baking paper between it and your iron

[@littlewarriorshields939]

Thank you so much for the mention!! I hope you enjoy your thank you gifts!! And can't wait to see what you do with the skateboard offcuts/shavings!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Mate, we really appreciate it

[@Fran-hw8pd]

Ben try filling them half way then giving it a squeeze all around then continue to fill but tap the mold on the table squeeze again finish filling. The squeezing and the tapping the mold on the table will release air bubbles

[@janreynolds2476]

Maybe try an embroidery hoop to hold the material for when you sign the shirt. It might help.

[@georjeanneseligman6707]

What a fun video! I love going on errands with you. I watch several Aussie KZbinrs and they go to Bunnings. Would love a "tour" of Bunnings sometime! Your family dynamic is such a joy to watch! Thank you so much for sharing. Take care and stay safe!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@teariana1]

Yep I want to see Bunnings too

[@wendynorell1133]

When doing your signatures try using an embroidery hoop to hold the fabric tight. Just not too tight.

[@paulawallis]

Came here to suggest this 😊

[@LadyLucas01]

In the bubbles or wholes mix up gold to highlight we have flaws

[@donnapalmer1727]

That’s the best part of hand made a few bubbles are nothing!!! I feel the bubbles or other imperfections add character and makes them one of a kind!!!

[@michaelmagnani3463]

You should try a clamp on the shirt, like the little ones they use on the small embroidery machines (brother make one) I think with it holding the fabric taught it will be easier to sign

[@Starrynightdiner]

You could also try fabric puff paint for the signature. It usually comes in a small squeeze bottle with a fine point. Might be a lot cheaper than the pens.

[@geewhizmale]

Hey Ben and Nicole, you could get yourselves an embroidery hoop to stretch the fabric to make it easier to sign the shirts, my Dad used to use one with Hobbytex. Edit: The hobbytex ones had a base in the middle so there was something stable that you could press against.

[@ctempleman1401]

Or put cardboard underneath gather material tightly underneath and using hair tie to keep material tight. We had Hobbytex as well.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@dianeh2420]

You can use UV redin to fill holes and still sell it ❤❤❤❤

[@dianamcdonald4964]

Maybe try putting the t-shirt in an embroidery hoop to make the fabric tighter so you can write on the t-shirt

[@diedregarrard8013]

For your shop, I bet if you made a section and call it "Oops Bubbles" or something like that and then list items that you may deem "ruined" because of trapped bubbles at a discounted price, people would still buy them. Like Ben said, once the lid is on, you really don't see the bubble mistakes. And some people don't mind a little defect in their items. For me, it reminds me that the item was handmade by a person and not churned out by a machine. Anyway, just my two cents!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou! That’s a great idea

[@teariana1]

I think it is too. I remember buying things when I was young that always had bubbles and I never thought anything of it. 🤔​@@bensworxvlogs

[@susanvasquez3625]

For the pot bottom, maybe try pouring just a little bit... enough to cover the bottom of the mold just a few millimeters... then vibrate it or drop it on the table a few times to bounce the bubbles out... let it sit for a few minutes, then slowly add the rest of the resin. Something similar should work for the top piece too, but done when it is nearly full (when the bubble part happens). Or adding a little resin then rolling it around the mold so any bubbles get super close to the top of the resin and pop (I hope that makes sense). And again, filling the top section up to just before where the bubbles happen, then rolling it around a few times.

[@teariana1]

Or doing the same and running a silicone brush around the bottom.

[@teariana1]

I saw someone use a piece of PVC pipe the right circumference as a support.

[@lindahobbs5545]

Another fantastic vlog in the Worx household. Keep them coming! You guys are so entertaining! Love ❤️

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Linda 😊

[@lej1105]

My favorite from Subway (Wisconsin USA) is a foot long steak and cheese with provolone cheese, olives and pickles. Add the Sweet Onion Teriyaki sauce and I am happy.

[@Starrynightdiner]

Those wood off cuts could be combined and used as the base for an egg instead of the burl.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Yeah that would be cool 😊

[@nadinescantlebery2693]

Ben and Nicole I think you're so adorable together ❤ and I love watching your videos ❤

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@michaelripley4528]

Great to wake up for treats! My coffe really likes that!! Happy you found the right Pen-Ben😃 Ben-Pen is the right term… Hard to make Nicole rime on pen??😁🤷🏼‍♂️

[@bensworxvlogs]

😂 thanks Michael

[@roseosullivanIreland]

Hi Nicole & Ben, loved the spin around. Omg we haven't been in a shopping centre since before the lockdown. No word of lie. The only places are medical. This is why I love the spins. But love all the crafts too. Its j u st fun watching you both. Have a great day. 🎉❤

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Rose, hopefully you get to go shopping again soon

[@teariana1]

Same here

[@Danny.._]

no one calls a hamburger a sandwich where i live (northeast US), just a burger or hamburger, cheeseburger, etc. the subway we'll call a sub or a sandwich or a sub sandwich or a grinder. in some parts of america they'd call it a hoagie or a hero/hero sandwich.

[@HaimerejNaed]

yep, from the northwest U.S. and I've only heard of them as subs here

[@wheelycrafty]

Get Fusin 360, it's easy to use and can export STL files for the printer and CNC path files or DXF;s

[@shaunnasparklesclarke]

I love the jewellery pot's you have done,I agree with others that have said that have some imperfections it would still sell even at cost prices

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@tracyfuqua2578]

We call them subs in Wisconsin! And burgers!

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

i remember doing a custom backpack with some of these markers and even washed only the pink gone out, the blue and black are still there. they are tricky to use tho, so awesome that you found the right ones. i love the silver color and the little jewerly thing

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@LisaVornhagen]

That's cool you guys have Subway down there. Where I'm from we generally call those subs. Other parts of the country might call them something else Not sure what the difference is between a sub and a hoagie. Glad you found a marker that works. That would really be disappointing if your signature disappeared.

[@nicholas87541]

I have a jar mold that you can get your fingers in the indent that becomes the inside of the jar so you can squish the rim of the jar before totally filling with resin, and it seems to help get the bubbles out, so I'm wondering if that could work with the little jars you have unmolded early on in the video?

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

I just got a notification that my order is on its way to the US! I’m so excited! That skull is so cool! You two do such amazing work. I have to agree with the people suggesting a category in your shop for erred items. The imperfections just prove that an item is handmade. Signing the shirts might work better if you put them in an embroidery hoop.

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

The pens not working is such a bummer!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Shirley, we really appreciate your support 😊

[@WildWoodsAustralia]

Why don't you turn a round wooden pot to slip the thin silicone mold into? It would support the edges and keep it round while the resin cures etc. Doesn't even need to be good wood 😜

[@SamTheBattleshipp]

Ooo that's a really good idea! I almost suggested perhaps making a resin one, but I think the wood one would be cooler, and probably cheaper.

[@geoffwarnes9327]

Try an embroidery hoop when signing the shirts it’ll keep them taut. We love your vlogs ❤ keep them coming. The every day life of BenNicoleworx 👍❤️❤️

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@alisonmary1443]

Love the bowl and bits, going to be a great project and your or own personal mini bowling arena, in time for Christmas games, who'll smash it? let's see. Skull turned out great, the brain 🫣 Thanks for that, you two are awesome a great start to the day 😁love you both to bits, hugs to Molly and Co, the fish are beautiful 💖 Have a fabby week.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Alison 😊

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

I'm not sure if it will work or not, but maybe try using some uv resin (colored with the same pigment) to fill in the bubbles.

[@annedarmody9132]

Cool jar colours. 💚💜. Nicole, try running your finger around inside of mould after spraying alcohol. I’ve been wondering if I can find some pieces of poly pipe the diameter of some of my moulds

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@teariana1]

Your going out and about was so fun. I haven't done that in years. First with the pandemia and now in without a car. I both absolutely loved it and it made me sad at the same time. In California, and here where i live now in Mexico, they're hamburgers and subs that could be called sandwiches but generally they're not. I can only eat a 6". We have both Office Depot and Subway

[@LadyLucas01]

Love watching both of you, does help you are Australian 🎉

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@LSK77_]

Molly is so cute ❤ subway here in the UK is one of those things you have to be really hungry to buy 😂 I've recently become obsessed with an American lad who catches aquarium fish in their sewers it's mad the collection he catches like huge redtail cat fish so fab to watch. I really look forward to these vlogs thankyou for sharing your life with us ❤

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@teariana1]

I only get the 6", the foot long is just way too big for me. Did you know you can actually order them with the bread and dressings on the side? Like a salad.

[@StrandedLifeform]

Well darn! I was hoping you got larger size shirts this time around. I would love an Eliot shirt but I need a 3X. The Halloween skull is so cool! The mixed colors work so well and gave it a cool effect, especially on the top of the skull. For the bowling balls, I think a galaxy ball would be sweeeet. Or a clear ball with some small skulls in the center.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou! Send me a message on Etsy about the shirt 👍

[@TheConwoman3]

If the last fabric pen didn't work, I was going to suggest a Sharpie. They have gold and silver.

[@Mayhem_Inferno]

We call them subs in America, unless you're from the state of Pennsylvainia. Then we sometimes call them hoagies

[@kyokoyumi]

A sub is only a hoagie if it's made on a hoagie roll.

[@SamTheBattleshipp]

Another great vlog! I loved seeing the fish again. Those corys were cool! The tray/jars look neat, especially the green and purple colors. (I got bubbles when I tried to make a test coaster. I'm going to try the alcohol spray trick next time.)

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou 😊

[@MnACreations]

It was fun hanging out with y'all as always! As far as Subway and what we call them.. Up north in CT we would call that a Grinder, or a Hoagie (ho-gee). Or you could just call it a sub sandwich, but that doesn't mean it came from Subway, it basically means a sandwich on a long roll. A hamburger.. Is just that.. You could ask someone "Hey would you like to get a burger?" and they would know what you meant.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Mike 😊

[@danareed1656]

another awesome video! you two rock!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou

[@GoldGryphon-jd9pu]

Another great vlog! I love the skull! I can't wait to see how it looks in my Halloween village in a couple months! :) I will send you some pics!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou! It looks so cool 😊

[@teriwood9657]

I love those little jewelry boxes! I plan on ordering another egg soon. I need to wait for my disability payment.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thanks Teri 😊

[@johnoder4853]

Love you guys! This type of content is fantastic and really lovely. Hope you have a great day!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou

[@MrMikie69]

Absolutely loving these vlogs so entertaining especially with Ben's dad jokes

[@teriwood9657]

I just went ahead and ordered another egg! Cant wait!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou! We really appreciate it 😊

[@FishiesGoPook]

ooooooooooo I would still love to buy an imperfect trinket jar! makes them more unique!

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou!

[@teariana1]

Yep, I can see adding the hearts as freebies, loved the one you sent with the Mario jar. But anything bigger than that, if you can touch it up, I'd sell at regular price if not, with a discount. Like I said in another post, when I was younger they all had bubbles and we all paid regular price and were fine. But then again they were a lot less expensive because they weren't art pieces like yours, just general all the mass produced pieces. But we wouldn't mind being able to pay a little less because of the bubble just to have something you both made.

[@akstylez6978]

Just try a regular silver Sharpie

[@pattygman4675]

Blues, blues, blues. 😜😜 Good game. Good biff.

[@bensworxvlogs]

😔

[@Sfinx7932]

We call them hoagies here

[@athenasea]

That skull looks almost like tigers eye stone woahhhh~

[@tonikimpel7891]

We call them foot long subs. Funny to see Subway down under 😂

[@teariana1]

Sometimes these inks need to be set with heat before they're washable. Considering how expensive they are I hope that helps.

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome Video Ben & Nichole and i hope you are all well also it was my Birthday today and i am 47 today🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@stevenkimble7936]

Wow fish are crazy expensive in Australia

[@DATONALKY]

Everything is expensive in Australia.... 😌

[@kajuday56]

Subs. Sandwich is on different bread.

[@ralo4304]

I call subway a sub and a hamburger a burger

[@MilkTheBandit]

Why don't you just turn a holder on your wood lathe for the round mold?

[@ralo4304]

Imma leftie "southpaw" also! ❤

[@vezhopkins714]

love your guppies (used to have some ) looks like you could be getting some babies soon :)

[@bensworxvlogs]

Thankyou! Yeah we have lots of babies 😊

[@teariana1]

I'd had guppies, platys and mollies. I don't know if mollies and platys are from the same species. My platys were Mickey Mouse platys, so cute! They had a large black circle on the narrow part of their body just before the tail and then the 2 black ears were on the actual tail but stuck to the large circle in just the right spots.

[@austinthomas9145]

A sandwich is just a term for “stuff between carbs/bread”

[@teariana1]

Lol

[@OldsouLim73]

Depending where you live in the USA they are called People who live in New England call them grinders 😂

[@lisamartin4928]

Too bad I just ordered the t-shirt a week ago. Bummer, I do like them

[@karynboyle6333]

Did you heat set the paint before washing

[@bensworxvlogs]

Yeah

[@teariana1]

​@@bensworxvlogs oh, well then hmmm? That's a pain. Though if you both are like me the pens won't go to waste but that is kind of a bummer.

[@trinatyler689]

And being your a southpaw probably didn't help. Trying to write on the shirt that is. My papa was a southpaw but taught himself to write with both hands.

[@bensworxvlogs]

Yeah it can be tricky

[@aerynkelly]

Do your corydoras breed?

[@bensworxvlogs]

Yeah they have done a few times after a big water change but the fry are extremely hard to keep alive, we have managed to save 6 from the last batch

[@aerynkelly]

@bensworxvlogs mine have been prolific breeders, which surprised me, but I do usually only get 1 or 2 that survives from each breed. I don't intervene though, I just let it happen however it will cause my tank isn't nearly as big as yours

[@teariana1]

​@@aerynkelly I know that the guppies do better when there're floating plants, real or fake. I don't know if having something similar on the bottom would help or if you know in advance having a way to separate them into other tanks until you can find a new home for them.

[@aerynkelly]

@@teariana1 corys lay their eggs on the side of the tank usually, so they're not exactly movable

[@snowballil3133]

There not defective. Humans and machines are not perfect. Ive seen stuff sold in stores defective and a lot worse-er

[@teariana1]

Talking about being Bogan. Can you imagine if everyone was the same? How totally boring. The only thing I don't like is when people think you're being prejudiced when for one reason or other you want to do something your way instead of theirs. That always ends up in hard feelings. I like how Gillie Kube says it's your art, it's your way.
