How much did they actually weigh?

[@AliiSparkle]

@@BrockGrimes i think he said somewhere they were 20kg

[@KeyushTheStuntDog]

The dumbbells look pretty cool! A tip for cutting silicone moulds, if you cut in a zigzag it helps to line the sides up again for pouring, a straight line can lead to the seam being slightly off.

[@themeez1000]

I was saying the exact same thing!

[@SupportMensMentalHealth]

Very clever x

[@joshswires9938]

It really bugs me that those dumbells weren't made to a specific weight

[@sugarrookieart]

Unless they were crazy lopsided it doesnt matter much, shoulda somehow taken the numbers off it though!

[@asrahlittle]

I kept waiting for him to weigh the infill as he went. Then waiting to hear what the final weigh in was. Argh!

[@SultryPickle]

Only half way through the video and came to the comments to find out if he ever actually weighed it. I wish he would have!

[@amazingdude1009]

Me too all the way through I was wondering how he would get them equal and to a specific weight. Great show piece vo

[@trishg1358]

Lol, it’s driving me nuts too. They would have to at least be even, surely?

[@maryalicefrazier2817]

I love all the projects that Nick comes up with and how half the time he doesn't even know what he's doing and just waffles on.

[@tigergal2828]

Maybe putting a thin layer of resin in first before the pieces could have prevented the sanding effecting how they looked. You have done this before to place pieces in perfect spots.

[@dirpdanger8839]

Also you could cast pieces in their own small blocks of resin and then put them inside to give a more floating appearance.

[@nightcatarts]

I'd have a done a clear pour after everything was set & mould lines removed; then no need to sand or polish anything but the underside where any drips would remain sticking out, & no risk of cutting into the filler.

[@rodlelievre4673]

just never learns from previous jobs

[@jauken83]

Glad to see Dr.Zammeti completed his resin-dency.

[@xxjessxx3732]

Ha ha good one 👍 🤣 👌

[@bigblaze2532]

You should have weighed all the random things you were going to add, divided that number by four and then separated the items to achieve each weight so that each dumbell weighed the same, and each side was even as well!

[@jordan_roadhouse4798]

Why add that work? They cannot be used as real weights so it would be literally pointless.

[@UsDiYoNa]

@@jordan_roadhouse4798 the point of the extra work would be the fact that they actually could be used if the weight was even lol

[@jordan_roadhouse4798]

@@UsDiYoNa Nah i'm not saying anything about weight distribution making the weighrs workable. I mean as in, have you ever seen people use weights? They throw them abour and drop them them. It would break the things. Go to any gym and you'll see what i mean.

[@angelabaldwin2045]

[@MParker8200]

You do realize that you can just paint a layer of resin on dirty stuff like that to seal it before doing the big pour, right?

[@DeadriseWoodCrafts]

I finally see my sticker on your sticker wall!!!!

[@coffebug]

Just a question are they just for decoration or did you measure the weight for them all so they would be even weighted? Be nothing worse than using something that is off balance.

[@jmvideos1870]

I just imagined his wife walking in saying what's that smell what are you cooking for dinner looking in the oven and looking at him and calling him a dumbbell.

[@hollywood5128]

It's midnight, and I'm glad I'm still up to see this funkiness!

super cool... Is the weight equal on both ends? Let us know.

[@nickzammeti]

They are 💪🏽👊🏽

[@Dark1Wonder]

I was wondering that too, if they were balanced on each side, and each weighed the same. What was the final wait for each? I'm curious

[@oges74]

Think I can safely say there wouldn't be any other dumbbells like those! Was worried the 'bits' were just going to sit at the bottom, but turned out way cool ... New side market for you now "Body by Nick"

[@adamc8751]

Best part of my night, a new vid from Nick!!

[@edd.98]

Now all you need to do is make a bench for a bench press out of resin for him.

[@xianated]

"here are the ingredients" me: "It looks like muesli... ^^;

But are they actually 22.5 kg? Have we weighed them? 🤔 ...doesn’t matter, I guess. Because they turned out AWESOME!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This was definitely one of your greatest works. I also have an idea, you weren't wearing a mask, and neither was he, which made me think. Did he run out? So then I thought, how do you recycle them, THEN I THOUGHT. YOU HAVE TO MAKE A MASK BOWL! 😷 hahaha

[@Quin_79]

Those WERE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF YOU WERE ABLE TO DO A FULL SET FOR the gym to match the one set! And then do a set of singles to match your FUNKADELIC double upright row buckets!!! ✊🏻🤗

[@xmas4203]

The dumbbells look great! Missed opportunity on the cement bucket weights. You could have acidwashed or sandblasted the sides to clean off the cement and expose the colorful bits. I do pebble finishes (exposed aggregate) in swimming pools and that's how we do it. Kudos!

good morning everyone friday morning with Nick building things out of things and a good coffee what do you want more ^^

[@kthemi10]

Woweee looked totally wicked👍 Its a pity the double one couldn't have been made with resin instead of concrete? We would have been able to see everything you put in: pencils, Lego, confetti etc. Then to make it more durable and to stop splintering you could have stuck on a piece of lorry tyre tread, on the bottom?

Is there any epoxy resin out there that isn't super-toxic? I'd love to try making stuff with resin and molds, but I live with my mother and she's wary of it being toxic. I'm assuming fumes _and_ the resin itself. But excellent work! Unique idea, great way to reuse!

Had to show hubby the Jeep. Those lights on the fender flares confused me!! (JK vs JL) we both have TJs but the unlimited, affectionately the LJ. Do you take it off road? Obviously, we enjoy Rock crawling. But, we both have the same question...are the dumbbells at the correct weight?

[@whitewolf8744]

HEY BUD IM A HUGE FAN. LOVE YOUR WORK!! but a help full tip to keep your mold from needing to be over patched so it wont leak next time instead of cutting the molds "both sides" i would cut one side/corner and then give it the old blast with the air compressor. it will help split the item your casting from the mold with out having to cut the other side to make it better for your resin castings. keep up the great content mate! you inspire 1000's of people like my self!

I’m thinking about starting a KZbin Channel and looking for the right setup and supplies to do so. I’m not really sure where to start.

I don’t have the money to buy 100’s of dollars worth for equipment. Something simple yet good quality. Maybe even something that I can use two camera for different angles.

Did you weigh the ingredients before you cast the pieces to make sure they were evenly weighted? It wasn't referenced in your video. Good job. Thanks.

[@1337YourMom]

Here's hoping, for his friend. If the two dumbbells are different weights, he will get uneven muscles. If each side of a single dumbbell is a different weight, could lead to injury. Looks like more of a decorative thing then functional for actual weightlifting
