Hundreds of Shoe Laces set in Epoxy Resin - Turned on a Lathe - Success or Fail ? 🙄

[@nickzammeti]

Thanks for watching folks, It means a lot. Please don't forget to click your notification bell in the top right hand corner of your KZbin channel to be notified of all my up and coming new videos. I have some really crazy ones in the pipe. Also if you can share this video that really does help me and the channel. Much Love all xx

[@Flutterbybish]

Love the waffle always Nick! This project was so much fun to watch! 👋🤗

[@TheoTHERON_SA]

@Nick - if you soak the laces in slow curing resin under vacuum for a while, won't it get rid of most of the air bubbles issues you are having? I understand that it is much messier to then continue with the project like you do. Just thought it might help with the air problems in the pressure pot?

[@brandyhewitt9567]

You should try to make a shoe lace plate

[@juliebaker6969]

I was looking at the bottom of the bowl and I got a flash of an idea. It kinda reminded me of a bowling ball. It would be kinda cool to have you actually MAKE a resin bowling ball. Maybe even a clear one with a skull in it like in Mystery Men. I just read this comment to my husband and he went it one better. An LED light inside that makes the eyes glow red whenever the ball moves. It could even be the kind that motion CHARGES the battery, kinda like a self winding watch. That way it could be permanently encased in resin, but never run out of power.

[@Beabe880]

@@juliebaker6969 I absolutely love this idea lol! I feel like this would ve more like an idea that I would have! Awesome idea mama!

[@ltd4all]

What if, instead of "another bowl" (you seem to be getting bored of making everything into a bowl), you made a lampshade out of the bowl shape....I think the light projecting through some of your projects would highlight the trapped articles included in the resin nicely.

[@ashezheartless9099]

Oh, what an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing it!

I just posted this as well. That's all I kept seeing the whole time.

Half the reason to watch creators on KZbin is to get to know them as people. We enjoy the waffle because we like you! That’s part of the experience! Keep on waffling, Good Sir!

For me, the talking and music parts really make your videos stand out and really fun, and this may be my favorite bowl that you have made. Also, does anyone else watch these videos on 1.5x or 2x? Nick, if you see this comment, you should totally watch one of your videos back at the faster speeds. They are really fun that way :)

[@relaxationmedication3222]

I always stay until the end Nick. You talking is the best part.

[@lisawood-bradley8250]

Agreed!

It doesnt matter who it is i always skip their little promo ads.. idc how much time people put into those ads but i just dont watch it.. already bad enough i gotta deal with youtube ads every 3 min dont need a 2min ad from the creator.. skip skip skip till its done!!

We do like the waffle.. during the making of the bowl then some of us drop off when we see the finished project, 😆. The no waffle at all speed run videos are not as fun. We luv ya Nick, keep inspiring.

I’ve been a follower since the very beginning. I never had a lathe but always enjoyed your videos. Now We actually have a barn and a lathe and I feel like everything I do is because I learnt from you! We so appreciate your work. We still enjoy watching and the waffling. I 100 understand the frustrations of youtube. I work as a manager of a British KZbinr and I see the analytics daily. My 11yr old daughter has tried her own channel called Build it Brya. (Learning mechanics and wood work) we put so much work in and it doesn’t get seen! But please keep doing what you do. We really appreciate it and we are still watching! :)

[@FantasyKitty]

Hi Nick from the Netherlands! Just a heads up, I'm one of those people who have tons of accounts and don’t always get to watch everythings but that's because there's those you just want to check in on now and then and others you will not watch áll of at the time but will álways get back to. You're one of those! I may not watch a little while, busy or following some things closely like Friesian horses where you follow daily life..but I néver forget you because I love what you do/make. Sadly I can't afford to buy any of your things but I love watching you make them. I make jewelry myself and craft with seaglass shells and driftwood. Anyway..you are never forgotten!

[@NinjoJas0]

Out of all these "other" channels, yours is always fun and experimental. You take chances. Sometimes they don't work but you are a pioneer in your field. You inspire me to try new things and just have fun in the shop. Never stop, love your work.

[@bishoukun]

I can only imagine if this was such a lovely funk pieces, what would it be like if all the laces were tightly packed in braids and other designs? Goodness, definitely needed your humor this morning, too! Waffle on, mate. Waffle on.

Honestly I think it looks really good! Just needs stand with a light maybe. Either way you always make the coolest projects, cheers for the share! And being a really small channel myself, I understand it seeming a long way off, but you've got this! You do amazing work constantly, just ride it out.

[@carolpyne6965]

Something I think would be cool would be to put wood on the top and bottom of the shoelace form. So the top rim would be the nice wood grain and also the bottom base. It would compliment the busyness of the shoelace feature bring class to it. Just a thought.

[@spicydragon3881]

This turned out BRILLIANT ! One of my favorites of late. This was a great success, but even when you run into problems you still make the best of it. You are truly amazing and always fun to watch.

Hey Nick! Those shoe laces would be epic, if they followed a color scheme! You can change color by soaking them in alcohol ink cups, then letting them dry before adding them to the resin! This was really inspiring! Thanks for your hard work!

[@paytondoughty2271]

I try to watch your videos as soon as they come out but sometimes I have to watch the next day because of Uni classes but I always try to share your projects with my dad (he loves resin projects and messes around with it quite a bit). I love this bowl! It's so cool looking and colorful.

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

If you want to do blanks to reduce resin waste, which I would recommend. In this case, try using another, smaller bowl. If it floats, weight it a bit. If it sinks to the bottom, just remove some weight. You'll save time turning it, and save money not using as much resin.

[@meribor]

And save more money by not needing to have waste blanks of various sizes

[@jonny555ive]

Doesn't he get his epoxy for free ? Doesn't entropy sponsor his channel ? I mean, I get not wasting stuff if you don't have to, but it really wouldn't cost him anything really to fill it all with epoxy. Right ? Or am I confused about entropy sponsoring him ?

[@meribor]

It's a lot less effort, too

[@cherylrosenberger7745]

This turned out awesome!!! I'm still fairly new at turning and your creativity has me thinking of soooo many ideas...thank for doing all these projects and I love that you show the "sometimes fail" because you make the best out of those and I think that's awesome. please keep the videos coming and please keep the humor...it's wonderful and makes me smile and giggle everytime!!
