Every time a insurance commercial comes on you are the first person that pops in my head. Now doesn't sound d to bad till u realize I'm on here all day and play games on mobile so hundred ads minimum a day half are the lizard so u are on my min all day. Little unsettling

[@patsymillar9447]

Many years ago, my family and I, visited the Waterford crystal factory, where we were shown a one off piece. The glass blower had blown a bowl which on inspection showed a row of small bubbles. It was about to be smashed, when an engraver stopped him. He took it away and engraved a gold fish below the row of bubbles. It's now on display in the Waterford crystal museam. So you see, on man's imperfection, is another man's inspiration

[@mikkohernborg5291]

If you ever have a similar blank with lots of bubbles and want to try something different, you could drill long and relatively thin (3mm?) channels into it (so that all the air chambers are connected) - which can make a lot of different patterns (from the 'bottom' only for a less invasive look, parallel lines all the way through for a stricter feel, or spherically oriented towards the center for a 'starburst' effect), then fill in the voids with coloured resin - fluorescent with a UV light would make it pop (if the UV can penetrate deep enough into the resin, it tends to soak up a fair bit). That would make turning it a bit easier, as well. Just a thought.

[@askara_755]

Kinda like the jelly cake art? They inject colour into clear, set jelly with needles and syringes. I watched some of that on Netflix this afternoon and you could be onto something.

[@akuamcclure4456]

I was thinking the same thing filling some of those bubbles with colored resin!

[@jloughland]

That is a great idea!

[@myathehappy_1]

Darn i should have read the comments first, my thoughts exactly!

[@tony69em]

Sounds really cool

[@VondaInWonderland]

With the wood, and the bubbles, and that color, it looks like natural Amber. It's absolutely beautiful! I'm so glad that you didn't put it in the bin ♥

[@cherizangel]

It reminds me of honey that has started to crystallize.

[@lisachatham1127]

Looks like the amber that started Jurassic park. Awesome mess up!

I remember that project where that wood got stuck in there. It is so cool that you keep those so-called failed projects, and come back and try and do something with them. That wood sets off the light really really nicely! Another great one! Take care and blessings!

[@missmud2053]

I knew straight away what it was from because I just watched that video three days ago 😂

[@gorillaau]

Resin isnt particularly cheap. Dont throw it away, upcycle it.

[@blessedandhappy3921]

Hey Nick👋, it’s midnight in the states and I’m so glad you posted a video. I can rest well knowing that the big “Z” is still working his mojo with wood and resin👍. Well, and anything else he can glue,screw,tape,nail,bolt or clamp on his lathe😱. Really enjoy your channel mate, let the good times roll !

[@scottreed991]

Can I get a sample? Peace

[@Lisa_The_Norwegian]

I know absolutely nothing about woodworking, but these videos makes my brain happy. And when it becomes all smooth and shiny, all the satisfaction ♥️♥️♥️

[@Master_Failure]

What happens if you put a fish tank bubbler in the bottom of a resin bowl (or cylinder tube) and run it while curing? Does it give a gradient of bubbles from many to few?

[@libertygiveme1987]

I swear, before you said - "It would make a nice Bedside Light," I was thinking the SAME THING!!!! GREAT JOB Nick!!!!

[@ASWilshire1]

I love it, Nick. So glad you kept it and made something beautiful from this "failure".

[@Jayelsea]

Absolutely LOVE this lamp. It's stunning! I wish these items you make would be up for sale. Would love to own an original Nick Zammeti piece like this! 🥰🤗

He’s got an Etsy shop! Just type in Nick Zammmeti. The lamp is still for sale.

I am a huge Bob Ross fan, I learned so much about art from him. And to see this “Happy Accident” turn out so amazing, even Bob himself would give you a big thumbs up!! I certainly did!!😉🤩🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗

Failed project? Make a lamp. Bright idea! I love the bubbles!

Your videos are always fun and creative. Lovely color Nick. 👍 As always STAY ARTY AND WAFFLE ON. Cheers.

[@1edgeman76]

Hey Nick, I am a new sub. I found you over this past week, as I have been recovering from a major surgery. I just want to say, I LOVE the ENERGY you bring to your videos! I have seen a lot of wood and resin turning videos and with your videos, I have finally found a permanent home. You remind me of myself in my craft, filmmaking, and I am always trying to find ways of keeping the crew happy and delighted on set with the same kind of zany energy you have. AMAZING WORK, and thank you for putting a smile on my face, even through the pain.

[@nickzammeti]

🙏🏽

[@IamLinda_]

That is really neat looking! It would make a nice bedside light! I had an idea for a project. Make something with broken up cds.

[@SD-oi9gr]

That’s the best thing about art. Even the failures can be successes if you think hard enough. Id happily have that light as a lower level mood / reading lamp next to my bed. As the God king Bob Ross said “happy little accidents”. Thanks for reminding me!

[@cherylduet672]

Couldn't have pictured anything different myself. You have such a creative mind it's boggling. You create great pieces from nothing to the worst mistakes. Love it.

[@MrErViLi]

I've always loved the unique pieces. Wood turning can be so...Ikea sometimes. Have you ever thought of trying alabaster or soapstone? I just recently found out you can turn rock on a wood lathe with carbide tools.

[@robinsonkaspar3395]

A mistake and a discard, with some care and effort, can be revealed as something lovely, something beautiful. This speaks to me

[@lkdenve]

Awesome outcome. Love seeing you take “failures” and turn them into cool things.

[@kathleenmholland8055]

Oh, it's got a lovely, warm glow. And yes, it could be a reading lamp. You never know, Mr Z!

Thank you for warning about the lights Nick! Not many people would be so considerate of the people with conditions like epilepsy and migraines that are triggered by lights ❤️

I can see it on a pretty wood base with lots of swirls and some live edge. Go for it Nick. 🇺🇲

[@johnoconnor4941]

The best thing that excites me about your channel Nick, and I honestly mean this, is the words 'I don't know'. Too many see others an copy. You 'redesign' previous projects. Loverly

Love this one. Autumn is my favorite season and this one has a Halloween look to it. Really beautiful.

[@samanthahughes7783]

Your vids truly always cheer me up Nick, however down I feel, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I lost my husband back in 2015, and I know he’d of loved your stuff, which also gives me a smile.

[@xmas4203]

I agree, it does look cool! And you gave power to it's uniqueness with the slanted wood wedge. Kudos.

[@mel924]

This turned out so cool! I was hoping you`d do smething with this piece.

[@ericksonwall7369]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today..

[@jeannebowers1749]

there is no such thing as failed projects with you! A good lesson for everyone, to keep on keeping on, no matter what.

[@JessiFayS]

Would have been pretty if he'd put the solid part down towards the wood piece and the bubbles at the top. Just sanded where the bubbles are instead of breaking off the interesting part.

[@lindarupar4545]

So cool Nick!! I'd love to use this lamp as a night light!! It would be awesome for a kids room! Love it ... Well done!!

[@mrmustangman1964]

Remember: There are no mistakes, only happy accidents.

[@gidgemo1869]

This shows how resin yellows with age perfectly…it looks like you had colored the resin when you definitely hadn’t. (I just watched the video where you “messed up” - which created this beauty!) Great job! This shows how perfectly you use your creativity!

[@shaydshani]

No such thing as a failed project Nick it's just art you accidentally made!

[@michaelhofer9149]

That is totally wicked! I love the way you turned the resin and I was really impressed when you cross drilled the wood base to conceal the wiring for the light!

[@mama2three786]

Beautiful 😍 Would have loved to see what you could have made if you had tried the vac chamber (to fill the bubbles with a slightly different color so the bubble look wouldn't be lost) to be able to do what you had originally wanted, though. Too bad you didn't have 2.

[@Cruzdeonnaify]

I love all the projects. It's not just destination that I love. It's the Journey that I enjoy as well.

[@sonjahesse1089]

See, Nick, you don't make failures. You've gone back and made some really awesome projects with them. This turned out really cool!! I really like it!! ♥️♥️

[@robertr4193]

It looks pretty cool. It's also good that you figured out a way to salvage the Goof up so the resin wasn't wasted.

Before you start, it looks like a Brandy snifter that was being stirred and you froze it in time. It is so cool!! Can't wait to see what it turns into.

[@PossumLover1111]

I love this lamp. Reminds me of a hunk of amber and the wood stick piece in it is perfect for it. I love ALL your projects as well as YOU!

[@charleneeaster6886]

I love it! You could make a bunch of these in different colors and have all kinds of lights. That is if you can recreate the bubble effect.

[@DartJedi]

I like that. Lava lamp suspended in time. With the wood base and the color of the resin, makes it looked like a giant ball of tree sap. Thumbs up.

[@normablake2748]

Google the word 'determined' and there will be your picture! You light up our life, Nick! Lovely!

[@skort94]

[@susanheston4483]

It looks like an explosion you captured in resin. The light is perfect, you can see everything. I'm glad you saved it. Nothing is ever a mistake, just a future piece of art.

I've been looking forward to seeing what you would come up with for this intriguing lump since watching the video in which it was first created. And I was not disappointed. Great job Mr Zammeti!

[@LJB...]

Lol...very cool result! Amber erupting from the wood! Almost looks like the stick is launching from the base too with the bubble trail.

[@craigesmith4835]

Nick amazing work as always. Thank you for embracing the 'failure' and showing us mere mortals we too can make beauty from an error

[@Datrebor]

I think it turned out rather amazing. I love how it looks and I think it would maybe even better with different colors with the light. Well maybe it would. Another great video that was fun to watch.

[@cwagner641]

I love how you fly by the seat of your pants....in other words, make it up as you go along! True artist creativity! Love your work and would love to buy a piece. That would have made a cool doorknob! Thanks for sharing :)

[@stephanieruggles7783]

I would have casted another portion of resin around it to keep more bubbles against the chip out. But it looks funky anyway. Nice to put some light in to enhance the effect of the bubbles. Glad that you didnt put it in the bin. So keep,calm, stay artful, inspired - and waffle on.

[@joepearson9704]

Reminds me of beer pouring out of the tap into the glass. I am calling that one the Beer Light. Love it.

[@MegaSnow121]

Really fun piece! The bubbles and leftover stirring stick makes it look intriguing. Would love it on a shelf in my home.

[@robwoolcock5878]

Hi Nick I really like what you did with this one actually I like all the things you've made, well all the ones I have seen that is. FYI the resin scraping are good for lighting camp fires it dose a great job, I collect mine for when we go camping

[@SirBarth]

Came across this 3 years later. Nick - Pretty much all you do I really REALLY enjoy. I'd been saving up to buy some stuff for my Mom for Christmas, unfortunately she passed in July. So, whenever I get 'round to it - I'll order from yas. Anyway, keep on creating, I'll keep on watching. Thanks!

[@hlhs42]

I love how your brain works! I like to imagine what something will turn out like & you always put a funky twist in the project & it works out! Thanks for the little escape from the real world.

[@sidben-Yehoshuwa]

That would be a great front porch lamp. I wonder if would be brighter with the bottom slightly hollowed out? Or if the stirring stick was removed an replaced with resin of a different color, or removed to let light escape.

[@lucksart13]

I think it looks like a ship in a storm inside. Very cool! Love it.

[@charlottebarnes9600]

Fantastically beautiful! Simply Beautiful!

[@AlexDeGruven]

Aww, I was kind of hoping the sphere jig would get busted out for this one. Such a simply genius idea, it's awesome to watch it in action.

[@kimcallaghan3404]

I'd have hollowed it out filled the open air pockets with a different colour resin let it set then go back in and redrill the center and voila you have a cool looking vase

[@roxymanasquan9087]

This is one of my favorites of yours. Happy accidents are the Best... and so are YOU!

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

When I first saw all the bubbles in the epoxy I figured that the bubbles would be too close to the surface to turn it down much without getting into and opening up the bubbles. I figured the only way to shape it much would have been to rough it up, clean it off, and then put it into a larger container(top side down) and pour more epoxy around it and then once that set up good you could do some serious shaping and never touch the bubbles.

[@ravenmacbeth9384]

Love the waffling and the piece looks super funky. Kind of looks like you carved a chunk of amber stuck in some wood. I wonder if you could do something similar if you filled the bubbles with something. Maybe some colored resin or something else. Could look pretty cool.

[@territhomas1767]

I love watching your videos. You are silly and quirky and I love your accent. I am amazed by all the beautiful things you make.

[@realstarling7279]

Half way through it looked like a resin doorknob. I love what it became. Great save again. 👏

[@noahreese2455]

Wow, at first I was unsure, but I love it. I just wish it had like a switch on it to turn it on and off.

[@loismcbride3389]

Love it. The bubbles make it look awesome. Everytime you move around the lamp you something different. One side looks like there is a face inside the globe. Love your videos.

[@benstradling7615]

Fair play Nick that turned out awesome it's a shame you can't remember how you achieve the bubble effect I reckon lamps like that would sell for a tidy wedge .

[@SunGem]

You could have put it in a bigger container, filled it up with clear resin with glitter, put the whole thing in the vacuum pot to fill the voids with the resin, then cured it in the pressure pot, before turning it on the lathe. But it still looks amazing as it is!

[@teresagg9809]

The way the light reflection goes from a streak to a ring as he uses the shella wax is really something.

[@jamesb1717]

That bit of wood looks inside looks like it's growing from the base through the resin. Looks Ace.

[@vanerek]

Don't doubt yourself man, your projects and mishaps are always a pleasure to watch!

[@akuamcclure4456]

Nick this was a neat piece to begin with. Maybe the little bubbles formed because the stir stick was so porous and there was a lot of trapped air? Then when that resin started to heat up and create thos larger bubbles it pushed the air out of the wood? REGARDLESS it looks really cool! I love it!

[@ritabruns7576]

It was for your wood blood project I just watched it turned out awesome thank you for keeping me intertaibed during my quarantine

[@shadow5273]

these are the kinda projects that get me excited ... when it a bowl or jar or something it tends to end up being boring but these more unique out of the box ideas are things id like to see more off

[@tylerlamb4108]

this made me think of a cool project idea add water, resin and food color dye into a large bucket then mix it with a drill using a paddle bit. Dont stop the drill until its hardened! might want to do this with a top on the bucket and a hole cut into it for the bit... could make a cool lamp shade lol

[@stephanie09.11]

That turned out really cool. The light/wood really made it pop.

[@prostylista]

If you ever try this bubbled resin effect again it might help preserve the structure if you encapsulate the bubbled piece in clear resin before working it. That way you have resin you can work without bursting your bubble. 💖
