What happens to DENIM JEANS when set in Epoxy Resin ? Then WOODTURNED

[@Areyoukidding621]

The thing I appreciate most about your channel, beyond your extreme craziness, is that you try new things. The same old bowl is not good enough for you. You put yourself out there and give us a new show every time. ❤️ from 🇨🇦

[@Grandwigg]

Yeah. His willingness to experiment, as well as show things that don't go to plan. His versatility is impressive. Also I also get a laugh from his delivery.

@@nickzammeti I saw someone making denim micarta and they put it in a vacuum chamber which helped to really saturate the denim and prevent inclusions

[@rickseiden1]

@@Grandwigg This is one of the things I like a lot about Nick's videos. He doesn't show a polished version of his projects. He shows how it goes, and how it doesn't go. We can all learn from his mistakes, and not let our own mistakes (at least those that do this kind of work) get us down.

[@bootercup001]

I’m so glad someone was able to reach out to you. I know the YT algorithms make being a content creator frustrating and super difficult sometimes… I always watch your videos all the way to the end! I was worried you seemed so down on yourself. I don’t know what goals you felt like you weren’t hitting, but I hope you keep making stuff because YOU love it. Your joy in what you do is the main reason people keep coming back, no doubt. Screw the algorithm, you do what makes you happy. If being over the top isn’t what you feel like, don’t do it! Just be you and be happy in what you do. Sorry for the waffle of my own there 😂 I loved both of these bowls!! It’s crazy, it’s really hard to pick, they’re both so cool in their own ways. I honestly would be proud to have the pair on display myself. Love it. Keep making things you love and keep experimenting! Can’t wait to come to makers central one day myself. We’ve got your back, Nick! P.s. you could probs put out a monthly hour long video of you just waffling and people would watch. Jussayin. 😂

[@nickzammeti]

thank you so much xx

[@gracegaceri_gg]

Couldn't say it any better!

[@j.munday7913]

Another thing I've noticed is being unsubscribed from channels I love. I noticed I was unsubbed from this one and that could be part of the reason views went down? If it happened to enough people, it would definitely affect your channel. :/

[@kathimorrical9912]

Took the thoughts right from my head. Nick, you're a breath of fresh air, and a font of silliness. Love to you and the family from Ohio, USA!!

[@kristinewalberg2938]

Happy New Year, Nick! I actually loved both bowls. The first one looks very organic, with the holes and texture adding a lot of interest. The second one looks really sophisticated and I could see it as the "pop" of color in a minimalistic, modern home. I love your willingness to experiment and also all the fun you bring to your videos. Please keep whatever schedule works best for you and your family and keeps the making enjoyable for you.

[@sixxygrrl]

Thank you for being you Nick. You always make my day/night whenever I see one of your videos!! The denim was likely overheated like fabric does with super glue . Perhaps using a slower curing resin would work better. ❤️❤️❤️ Keep calm and keep waffling!!

[@Joni2UB]

LOVE them both. You bring alot of joy in people's lives with your humor. Please keep doing what you do. Your experiments are awesome.

[@tedcarson2971]

Wow !!!!!! Great stuff ... can't wait to see what you will be up to next. Take care Nick.

[@dyrtymike5589]

Nick I'd like to stop and say Thank You for being safe when you work. I ride other you tubers doing what you do and refusing to even wear gloves or eye protection. Much love and respect from Los Angeles. Keep doing what you do, you're a class act! Thank you for your time.

[@nickzammeti]

[@keithharper9595]

It is really great that you are "back in the saddle" as it were. You are one of our household's favourite makers, and we think it is brilliant how you show your entire projects with all their ups and downs. If even a master maker such as yourself encounters difficulties from time to time, it gives the rest of us hope! And it is also great to watch how you turn an apparent mess-up into an excellent end result. Looking forward to a great 2022!

[@bishoukun]

I'd love to see what would happen if you filled in the first run with some clear resin and polished it up. I'm super hype to see what you do next! I'm glad you're feeling more yourself again.

[@oscargortez]

I was wondering the same thing, I was hoping he'd do that...

[@silivrengamer]

Yeah. I had the same thought! Spin it with some epoxy coating like you would do a tumbler! I really think that first one just “fizzed” because he didn’t use a pressure pot. Since it was fabric, it made the bubbles really small and so they got trapped instead of rising and off-gassing.

[@madeleinemuller1445]

Looking at your videos is the best mental medicine ever! Thank you Nick for helping me getting through some tough health issue times and I hope that my body will allow me to be around to follow your channel for a long time 👍🏼👏🏼🥂

[@MonkeyJedi99]

The first one I can see with a water-tight liner as a decorative container for a potted plant. The blue/white would really blend well with the green of a variegated spider plant. The second one would look great on a light-toned wood side table as a candy dish or key drop. They are both fantastic. - Nick, you take care of you, we'll be here when you get around to us!

[@CajunCrustacean]

I think the first one would work great for a desert plant. Something that doesn't require too much water because of the holes and all that. A nice aloe vera or something like that. Ooh, a Mother of Pearl plant would look fantastic in it as well!

[@MonkeyJedi99]

@@CajunCrustacean Indeed!

[@theminxiekitten3812]

I don't have the words to describe just how awesome you are, Mr Zammeti! Your enthusiasm, your joy, your willingness to try something crazy - and to admit when things don't work - all of it is just fantastic. You are a pure joy to watch! Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us all

[@jemagu6]

I would bet the reaction to the first blank was due to the residual laundry soap in the jeans. It appears that the pressure pot was enough to ged rid of the extra bubbles, but you could also wash the jeans in a clear water cycle as well. Despite that, the first blank turned out great! One question: With it being so porous, did you consider either stabilizing it or giving it an extra coat? Just curious.

[@ready2learn87]

That’s exactly what I thought - either detergent or softener was still in the material and it bubbled as it got wet, heated, and set.

[@katherinejones8385]

I thought the same thing. Think itbeautiful

[@MONTY-YTNOM]

Thats exactly what it is. I tried this a few years ago. When I used unwashed denim it didn't have the reaction

[@dreyhawk]

That's what I thought as well. It looked so much like suds from a washing machine and no matter how well you spin the water out a little soap often stays in the material. On the other side, it did look kind of cool because of the reaction. It was visually interesting like an abstract painting can be.

[@elainahazelton7396]

My first thought was a detergent reaction. The chemicals didn't like the resin?

[@jinnygreenwood2681]

I love both bowls, great effects on both! Keep the faith, I for one find watching your videos make my day and keep me smiling. So keep smiling too 😉

[@charlesnichols1215]

Both bowls are cool in their own realms. I'm wondering how the 1st one (version 2 or 3) would turn out if it were recoated with clear or colored resin in the pressure pot. Maybe someday I'll get a pressure pot and resin and can try to duplicate your wonderful accidental art.

[@mboss667]

This is really amazing for recycling purposes. I would love to see more of these "sustainable" style resin tests :)

[@lesliehackney7519]

Love them both! I really appreciate that you take a supposed disaster and turn it into a beautiful pot that looks a lot like stone. It is great to see how you keep a positive attitude and don't just throw it away. Like the old saying, "life gives you lemons, make lemonade". My favorite of the two was the first one, very unique and beautuful!

[@meghaffer]

I love how the first one looks almost like stone. The shine on the second one is very satisfying.

[@Kirakitty155]

Friendly suggestion, it would be interesting to see how the larger bowl would look like with a light coating of resin on top of all the surfaces. Otherwise both looked very cool!

[@nickzammeti]

Good idea x

[@sabbatia2759]

I’d like to see that also. The first one was deep enough that it had a heat reaction. I’ve seen that before.

[@jaraddawson3258]

I was thinking for the first one it would of probably worked out better if it was put into a vacuum chamber would of gotten out all of those empty "pockets" in the Jean layers

[@HandyHelons]

@@jaraddawson3258it’s a shame when your pockets are empty 😂

[@dawnhill1950]

I like both of them. The smaller one is classy and polished, the larger one a bit more 'rustic'. Both have their charm. And I really like watching your videos to see what comes next. I appreciate that we see your 'mistakes' or failures and then we see you turn it around into something pretty.

[@kbutler317]

I really adore you, Nick! Love your dad jokes and your creativity and your waffling! I’m actually so grateful for Dragon lady if they said something that inspired you. We never realize how powerful our words can be! Love both bowls and look forward to the next one!

[@unarri]

Welcome back! Loved both of them, funky and elegant. Really fun to see them both. I love that you don't just throw out things that don't work out how you thought they would. Instead you work with it and end up making amazing things. The new project sounds awesome, can't wait to see that! I hope you're doing well, and continue to do so. Thank you for sharing the funky fun art you create. It's appreciated.

[@sticustom]

The only time I’ve seen denim and resin together was to make micarta. Usually it’s placed in a mould and downwards pressure applied to squeeze the resin into all the air pockets. It was interesting to see it without pressure applied.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Yeah, makes great knife scales.

[@sticustom]

@@thomasarussellsr yes they do

[@jess65963]

I liked them both. The first one will make an excellent flower pot. The second one is lovely for putting anything in.!!

[@bishoukun]

That little adventure getting the extra jeans was SO GOOD I'm dying of laughter! My dude, you bring this kind of amazing humor and comedy with both being self-aware of the very silly things and being still completely committed to them, and nobody else does it like this. You're awesome and super encouraging to watch. "This professional artist on YT embraces his ADHD and creativity and all the 'weird' and quirky and silly things that make him happy just being himself no holds barred and maybe more people will start learning to just shamelessly be ourselves and we can destroy social rules that don't make sense and are total crap anyway. Maybe there's a future where we can all be our wholesome eccentric fun selves without fear."

[@katshomekorner9194]

It's good to see that you've got your groove back, Nick. 😁 The smaller bowl looks like many of your other bowls - very good. The larger bowl makes me think of a mortar, though I wouldn't use it as such. Looks interesting, but with a lot of small holes. It needs to be coated in resin so that it fills up those holes, and so you can give it the brilliant shine that you are know for. I look forward to more stuff from you. And Nick? Your true fans have stuck with you. 🙂

[@GodessOfMischief]

I REALLY loved that first one!!! The design was beyond Rad! But tbh, asking if ppl like the first or the second wasn't fair! You ABSOLUTELY gave more love to the second one! But the first "mistake" piece was the best. PERIOD.

[@dianaburch69]

I love the second version, it’s amazing what a difference the pressure pot made!

[@-Its420Somewhere]

I just had to say it. The way you are looking in that photo woman I'm at lost for words. The words pretty, gorgeous, glamorous and beautiful don't even cut it close. 😆 😉 😍

[@sheltonceleste]

You should have washed and dried them a few times to prevent the color from bleeding. Just a thought maybe if you do this again you can lay each piece out flat and make a pattern and make a resin jean table.

[@meaganroberts8948]

Watching from Australia 🇦🇺 early Saturday morning. I love the first bowl. The effect of the 'reaction' and layers looks amazing. You always create great projects and experiments. Bring on 2022.

[@kzookid2051]

Really interesting to see the differences in the two pours. I'm glad you've gotten past the funk you were in the end of last year. A lot of channels had drops in their viewership and likes numbers due to the changes YT made to the algorithms. You've always put your all into your videos, and we all appreciate it. As much as I'm looking forward to everything you have planned, don't forget that something simply beautiful or cool is great as well. It's all shagadelic.

I hope 2022 brings back the old Nick with the benefit of the learned experience, since then.

I freaking love these so much! You could make a whole kitchen set and I bet it would sell in a heartbeat. These rock!!!

[@JoeRadose]

Maybe a waste block putting compression on the denim, plus the pressure pot, would have helped the larger blank. Also, I would try having something like a seam, or a rolled section here and there to create ripples on the layers above. With some compression it should still have good adhesion between layers, and create some additional patterns.

[@sixxygrrl]

Nick, you're a Jeanius. Please don't ever stop waffling or delivering the Dad jokes. I absolutely enjoy your channel. You're so creative. You're also totally relatable, humble, and funny.

Nick, the projects i like most are the ones that don't go to according plan because you always find a way to do something creative with it which ends up in something awesome and one of a kind. Please keep your spirits up and when something doesn't turn out the way you hoped, maybe put it aside and when creativity hits take it up again and do something with it because that can end up in something even better than what you might have planned.
