Great idea. Those styrofoam peanuts look like multi-colored cheese puffs. What fun and great job Nick!

[@nickzammeti]

Thanks Charlene 🥳

[@anothernate3302]

They ARE cheese puffs. Those are starch peanuts. Not styrofoam.

[@fridaynightfunkinfan5627]

I thought they looked like gummy worms with a hardened shell made of sugar and citric acid.

[@Emily-sv4bp]

I was thinking fruit loops haha

@@nickzammeti do something out of fake currency’s like fake dollars 💵 or fake pounds

[@CarlosFandango73]

Nick mate. When you added pressure to the pot, the air in the balloon did the same as the bubbles in the resin. It compressed to a fraction of its atmospheric size. Paint a balloon with resin and let is set (open ended). Do that a few times to make it strong then try that "resin balloon".

[@highplainsrider8734]

That is over complicating it. Seriously a plastic tube down the middle solves the issue just spray the tube with mold release problem solved the balloon is a bad plan and over complicating the whole thing. I done the plastic tube many times to cut down on material needing to be removed and to avoid the need for so much resin. Just a quick additional note here spray the tube before putting it in the bucket other wise you will get mold release on your first layer of resin and packing material causing it to possibly separate or crack.

[@RacinRitchieyt]

or just use a mixing cup

[@vernonzehr]

I slapped my head every time he put that balloon in the pressure pot expecting a different result. Considering why the pressure pot is used to begin with I would think the result with the balloon would be obvious.

[@arikbord2256]

I was just going to ask if anyone else was yelling at the screen that putting an inflated balloon in a pressure pot will effectively deflate the balloon, then it will try to reinflate as you vent the pressure.

[@fred_derf]

You beat me to it, I was going to post the same thing.

[@nickzammeti]

Thanks for checking out this crazy STYROFOAM creation folks. If you did like this video, I would be so grateful if you could share this one for me. It really does help the video reach more peps, which would be so helpful. Thank you so much & love to you all🙏xx

[@jebowlin3879]

That does generate a neat idea, place your smartphone in the pressure pot recording an inflated balloon while its pressurizing to see what happens

[@almorgan68]

Looks like sugar crystal wotsits

[@skyrere]

I would share, but I turned off my Facebook, and I don't really do other social media. The best I can do is like and comment. I love you man. :D Hug your family for me, because I love them too.

[@boulangerbenoit79]

Hello Nick, do you have try casting bread into resin ? The structure and porosity can make bread a serious project into your shop ;) great day =)

[@elisabethgarcia9946]

Lovely! Would love to see a “Frankenstein” type piece with all the leftover innards from your previous pieces-crayon wrappers, feathers, potpourri, yarn, etc. 🤩😎

[@annmcdaniel1092]

YES!! Great idea!!!😁😉

[@mc-sp8zr]

This reminds me of Peter Brown's epoxy cereal bowl made with Froot Loops. In that vid it seemed that the airy texture of the cereal made it difficult to turn against the hard resin. Glad this one worked out, it looks amazing!

[@lanieleigh9970]

I’m surprised the resin didn’t melt the foam. Usually that type of packing is made of cornstarch. When you were talking about the texture they reminded me of lava rocks. Wished you had left the bottom on to make it a footed vase. It had a really cool shape before you cut off the bottom and the round wood block.

[@lindyq7534]

I was loving that shape too.

[@kimkimba1131]

I know the puffs were already big but I like how the puffs look magnified in this project. You did a wonderful job. Nice Tuesday video. Thanks

[@dechesino601]

You should have coated the finished item with thin layer of resin. Left wet turning slow on your laith or a turner, the resin would have filled in the holes and self leveled smooth. Can still do it!

[@Dillydoll]

LOVE the internal 3D effect of the styrofoam peanuts !! Your pieces are always SO colourful and interesting. You job always looks SO much fun. Love it Nick 💞

[@JamokaJoe]

Fun project! One of them mixin' cups can be used to create the void in the middle.

[@catherinedavis1690]

You might want to try a fabric tube, it’s about 3” or so across snd 1/4” thick cardboard. I’m sure the tubes are used for other things too, being a seamstress I’ve always encountered them with fabric. Map or poster tubes? Just an idea. Really fun video! The balloon was funny!! Waffle on!

[@ourparanormalworld]

BOOTIFUL IS THE OLD NORFOLK DIALECT! BEAUTIFUL.... A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER. THE VASE MAKES ME THINK OF SWEET'S LIKE JELLY BEAN'S, BUT ANOTHER FRUITY SWEET. LOVE IT!

[@PeggyStentzCasey]

I absolutely LOVE how this 'turned' out!!! That would look so beautiful with some flowers in it.

[@kirstenhill9392]

Love this one! Never seen those in so many colours! It looks gorgeous!!!

[@skyrere]

I love you. You are so fun to watch. Your sense of humor hits me just right, and you make me smile when I am down. Just so you don't feel burdened, I don't RELY on you for joy when I am down, but you are definitely part of the collection of things and people that give me joy. I hope you can take joy and peace from that. *hugs*

[@donnamealy4877]

My first thought was “what now?” It turned out really cool! Thanks for sticking with it.

[@craniumbear]

You know the pressure will shrink the balloon right? And then when its released it will grow again. Awesome project

[@HugoHugunin]

I would have thought that he would have heard us all screaming at him from across the globe.

[@leonstewart1739]

He's pure comedy sometimes and doesn't even know, I try not to be disrespectful to any grown man trying his best but sometimes he makes me laugh out loud literally

[@sewmeonekenobi639]

I was thinking that but didn’t know for sure.

[@frankierzucekjr]

I didn't know Ben did this. I've never seen it colorful before. This should look awesome if it doesn't melt lol. Yayyyy mold release haha. I know you get excited and forget almost every project hahahaha. Good on you buddy

[@sfcmmacro]

As a scuba diver… when air is put under pressure is compresses, or expands under a vacuum. So when you pressurize the pot the ballon shrinks dramatically. On the other hand, water does not compress. If you use a water balloon you will not get shrinkage. But the best option would be to simply use a piece of PVC pipe that has the bottom sealed and the top open. You could the just turn the PVC out… not to mention that the pipe is perfectly round so you can chuck it up to true up the cylinder and cut the base for when you flip it over.

[@julieday4895]

I love how you joke around. I can't help but laugh. The peace you made looks really cool.

[@uniqko]

Look at this... It's so incredible....

[@kellykinnaird3576]

Weighs almost as much as my first baby! Love this, it’s so cool. The ones that are cut through look almost like coloured stones. What if you chopped them up a bit? So less regular, that could be cool too. I do embroidery and have a bag full (think the big Doritos packet!) of old threads I won’t use, I must admit I thought about sending them to you, but there’s not enough. Unless you just made a bauble! 😆

[@annwitten4359]

Yeah, I’m a quilter and started a bag of my smaller cut off fabric pieces but I know it’d take forever to get it to a big amount for him to do anything cool with them….

[@jennyb9065]

@@annwitten4359 Lots of neat smaller projects could be done with them (think barrettes, bookmarks, a shoe horn, pencil cup, lid for something etc.). Could also be combined with other things.

[@CMTHFAF]

Soooooo Great!!! Reminds me of a funny story. My ex husband had a habit of wandering around naked after showering. This wasn’t an issue till our daughter was about 2-1/2 yrs old. I suggested he keep his towel wrapped around him till he was ready to dress. He scoffed at my suggestion till a couple days later when our daughter walked in, pointed at his….package, and said “Balloon popped.” He started dressing right after showering.

[@spicydragon3881]

WOW - Such a simple product we all overlook everyday and its just BRILLIANT ! Just incredible - I am always in awe of your work and what an incredible artist you are. I would love a piece of your work one day. Look forward to your next project, keep up the great work

[@marahousley8553]

@@Lemminjoose true but sometimes I wonder where dose he get these supplies for these crazy ideas and then I realize I don't really want to know or find out.

[@Destrcutodisc]

Have a crazy idea for you Nick for a say 2-4 part video project that will combine your woodworking skill and resin making into something one of a kind. Make a billiards table where the balls, table legs, and table top are made with resin while everything else is made with wood. Table top not including the bumper rails. Figure a colored resin table top and the different colored balls would be interesting in resin. Just a thought.

[@FT4Freedom]

That feeling when Nick's mold floats right off, priceless.

[@WarthogChief]

Why wouldn't you have sprayed mold release on the outside of one of your mixing cups then super glue it down the center to create your void? Just 🤔

[@alexandraframe6493]

This is one of my favourite project! I love the colours and how the styrofoam looks in the resin. Very cool!

[@tomtinkersrezlife278]

Great timing not having a good day and you drop this thank you 🙏wife had neck surgery and it went wrong and she's bin in nothing but pain and I no she will laugh watching this ty again

Hi! I suffer from chronic pain, from a couple of conditions, one from birth the other, well, one of the others, for twenty years. It’s no picnic. Whether it’s chronic or acute, pain is hellish.

[@truijs65]

Looks awesome, just like coloured pieces of lava rock. Love the 3D effect that it gives. Maybe for next time use a balloon filled with water or sand or some other cheap filler. It will save you wood that you can use for new blanks.

[@Calciyum88]

Yeeeeaaaahhhh! When you came up with the bucket I immediately screamed "Mould release!!" - and this time you actually used it! 😅 I hardly believe my eyes 🤣

[@windcancersurvivor5120]

Polished up spectacularly 🤗 btw, the trapped atmosphere in the balloon was expanding as you drew a vacuum on the vessel

[@wiresmith2398]

Absolutely funkadelic. I'd love to see the same whatsit, but light blue resin and then paint it with clear to have a shiny surface and a contrasting base. Very cool!

The colored Styrofoam peanuts idea would make a FANTASTIC set of different sized candy jars with lids. Reminds me of a jar of gum drop candies. Nor sure if they are called gum drops in UK or by another name. Really cool idea! God Bless 🥰

[@user-vw8rx5pd1g]

Hi, Nick. This project is very cool. And all your other works. . You can do something unusual, by taking several different colored caramel candies. Only pre-coat them with varnish, so that the color does not flow. It will be similar to the table you made earlier. But you can come up with something else. Some unusual vase or something.

[@jannaalley6127]

In America, we don't get to have Easter colored packing worms--only white. When you pulled it out of the form, I thought popsicle! Then when you mounted it on the lathe, I thought kitchen cannister! Fun.

[@Korenscollections]

You always make me laugh.🤪 Love the Disco music in the background! 💃 You know, that would make a really funky bowling ball.

[@Tinatortoise]

Well that turned out better than I thought. We use something similar at school, made of maize (I think) they stick together with a little bit of water. They are made to dissolve so if a child swallows one, they won't choke. I expected a mush. I did know the balloon would pop, I was surprised it didn't the first time! Cracking job though x

[@kzookid2051]

Cool project. I was kind of hoping you'd leave the inside unpolished and put a light bulb in it. The colored styro would have looked cool, with the colors all bright against the frosted inside. AND, I love the haircut. You look great with the buzzed sides and the tousled top.

[@perry1559]

You can get long cardboard tubes with the right diameter (3 to 4inches) pretty easily. They’re used for shipping sheets of stuff that has to be rolled up, not that kind from paper towels, the walls should be thick enough to not collapse surrounded by resin. They use them to ship carpet for example, or rolled up vinyl flooring. You could use shorter pieces in the middle of any pot or bowl. Cut a round piece of thin plywood to fit snugly in the bottom of the container you’ll pour in, hot glue the tube to it. The cardboard will be easy to remove on the lathe. You waste a lot of material gouging out the resin or wood inside of your bowls as it is. Insert pieces like the balloon was supposed to be will save money.

[@rachealsmith5138]

That is pretty cool. I like the texture, that’s an unusual way and adds depth and makes it more 3D. Wow! 7 lbs…. Almost like a newborn!!! LOL!! Take care and blessings!

[@galogiha]

nice job as usual, nick. next time Papier-mâché the balloon so it wont matter when it deflates (or rather compress and shrink) in the pot. or you could just, you know, use a plastic cup (the red ones are great). cheers.

Oh I just had another idea! If you were using a mixing size pot as a mould for something different and coated both the inside and outside of the mixing pot with mold release and used that as the center cavity you would basically be doing two pours & to projects at once!
