Turning 1000's of STAPLES into an OPTICAL Illusion - Resin Art

[@BensWorx]

Thanks for stopping by, If you have time you can check out my new range of Eggs here www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx

[@ashlynndemorrow1037]

That's a masterpiece (!) and you're giving it away...what a kind heart you have, Ben. God bless in Jesus's name

[@danagibbs3265]

I just purchased one of the pendants, I can't wait to see it in person. Happy to support the channel

[@juliebaker6969]

What happened was that the heat from the resin burned the shellac that holds the staples together.

[@jenniehughes6927]

Just wow! You are so creative, Ben.

[@samseptember6404]

Ben, really not sure if you will read this but here goes…. Wondered if you have seen the legendary movie Kingpin? If you have, I definitely feel like you have the skills and tools to make Ernie McCracken’s (played by Bill Murray) bowling ball. The clear ball with the rose inside it. It’s such an iconic thing!…I think if you’ve seen the movie you’ll know exactly what I mean. Anyway, it’s just an idea, all the best and keep up the good work!

[@sadslug]

You're kind of like the Bob Ross of resin projects- cheery, wholesome, and calming. Love this piece, and I always appreciate the creativity and your acceptance of 'happy little accidents'. Wishing you the best!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou, you too

[@timhvac6869]

I agree he is the Bob Ross of resin.

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

I wasn't expecting that reaction on the pot cam! I'm completely stunned how it turned tho, and in the end they looks like curved lines. 10/10 as always❤

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@nickgonezapolis]

I absolutely love this channel! You always sound so happy and chipper. It really is a nice, relaxing, and interesting break from everything else. Thanks for the quality content!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@clarewillison9379]

Love it, it’s like an M C Escher engraving come to life. Getting the coppery tones made it better imo.

[@konoikurozora5851]

I was absolutely certain the staples would change in some way during the curing process, but I'll admit I didn't expect that sort of result. It's probably one of my favorite pieces you did, to be honest!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@1986krazy]

The change in colour during potcam was really cool to watch. It is almost as if the heat tempered the staples, or something. Another great piece, Ben!

[@markzebell1549]

That looks way better than I thought it would. Great work

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@jeannajohnson-ml1jr]

Ben you always come up with creative ideas. And turn them to wonderful arts.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@nairocamilo]

Quite literally, on the lathe!

[@dhd8850]

Holy Guacamole Ben, how brilliant, so clever and really nice to look at ⚡⚡⚡

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@MichaelRodman]

I had not seen the cubes before and that alone was worth the watch. I love your willingness to try new things and how amazing they turn out.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@antonenberg]

Looks like the 4 dimension ”library” from the movie Interstellar🤩

[@jasmineontiveros8453]

This came out so cool! It reminds me of the tesseract in interstellar! My favorite movie :) great illusion and great video as always!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@MissMTurner]

Definitely reminded me of that too!

[@mikesmith5937]

There's something so endearingly comforting about your videos. Thanks

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mike

[@mikecrawford9946]

The color change really helped create a beautiful ball

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Dude honestly, the burnt/burnished look makes it even better looking! Almost like it’s weathered metal trapped in a shiny sphere. I loved it’s end result 🤘

[@socksgoofybackup]

i love him i love him so much his silly little accent his happy tone he makes me feel happy like when i hear him i see the color yellow he is such a pure soul i love him so much never let anything happen to him pls pls i love him

[@angelalewis3645]

Ben, the dramatic music during the pot can sequence was brilliant! You’re so cool!

[@ilonamollema6467]

Wow, Ben!! This looks amazing!❤ I really love your craftsmanship. You are able to make from almost nothing an amazing piece of art!

[@1954JDR]

The patina on the stapples looks awesome. Great job!👏👏👏

[@CherrycatMatsuri]

Another amazing project, Ben! Reminds me of a dystopian building or something. Really interesting to see how the staples reacted. Keep going, Ben! I love your videos!

[@jannaj2719]

Wow! I have to sayyyyyyy that thing is gorgeous! I’m so glad it turned out that way!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@TheScubaboy56]

Nice one Ben. I agree, i think it looks much better with discoloured staples.

[@N0tFound4o4]

its amazing! it looks like the centre of the blackhole from Interstellar! Like the 4d tesseract they designed it to be! it's like you have it in the palm of your hand.

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

Almost shot coffee out of my nose at how happily you said, "Now let's check out my ball!"

[@Razgar_Voxel]

that staple ball is probably one of the most beautiful resin arts you have made, and it is now one of my favorite projects you have done!

[@donnamealy4877]

Love this! The way the staples each took their own colors really adds a meditative feel to it. Nicely done. 🦋

[@greamepenney5947]

There is no wrong in art. Amazing job Ben.

[@aicirtkciub9167]

I really like the random colours the staples turned ❤

[@fredclements6843]

I wish I had the Rubiks cube that’s been my favorite thing you made👍

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Fred, I have been making some for my store

[@fredclements6843]

@@BensWorx cool I’ll check it out brother thanks

[@StrandedLifeform]

Very cool project. I personally instantly liked how the staples turned a different color from the heat/chemical reaction of the resin. The end result was beyond expectations. Keep coming up with great ideas & experimenting. 💕

[@DEVILLXX74]

Everyone needs to realize we can never make things perfect because there's no such thing as perfection 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Nefertiti0403]

Ok. Did someone mention it Not being perfect? Or are making a statement. Trying to be critical without saying it.

[@JO-sc7qi]

Yeah I am

[@michaelripley4528]

Frankly i made some perfect items for my self, and had some jobs where things had to be perfect to Worx out🤷🏼‍♂️😁 Working with perfection make things perfect… If you are a perfectionist💯 Ben make Many perfect items like eggs and the rubix cube IS perfect😂 I hope my gramma and spelling are perfect😅

[@deeannhansen1469]

To be human is to admit you are not perfect!!! But you create such beautiful work!!

[@kingpoop2471]

Says you! I am the definition of perfection!

[@druss1942]

The final effect was brilliant

[@samanthadean1083]

This would also make an awesome gear shift knob!!! Awesome job, Ben!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@alanduong8694]

This is exactly the video I needed after a long day’s work but start to the weekend. Cheers Ben!

[@BensWorx]

No worries mate 😊

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

This is so beautiful! The office person in me loves it!

[@justindavis1546]

Amazing the forces that happen when the resin cures.

[@lynniev]

The way the light bounces off the staples is neat!

[@julietteneylon4243]

This turned ou so much better than i thought it would. Great job Ben.

[@Baxteen1]

I just want to say I appreciate the small ending evolutions like the reverse of the glue pour and the slow mo on the lathe work. Love the work and I enjoy seeing the growth in other areas

[@DOSHIELD]

That turned out amazing! I love color that the staples turned after the resin cured. Keep up the great work!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@schrodingerthecat]

Love your creativity with such mundane objects like staples. I once filled an entire sheet of paper with staples when I was a kid at work with my mom. That's about the extent of my staple creativity.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@anthonylovesey1137]

The rusty/copper look of the staples is amazing.

[@taurbaby]

Gorgeous...these optical illusions are fun to watch...!!

[@CJAYTODD]

Love the music. It gives off John Butler Trio vibes, One of my favorite bands! ✌️😎👍

[@yesterdaydream]

The cube looks so fun to make. What an interesting twist and awesome result!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@dywood]

crazy, the idea never dies

[@meg2831]

It was pretty neat watching it discolor. It looks pretty cool.

[@joshcarver5231]

Wow that turned out way better than expected! Crazy illusion

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Josh 😊

[@lorispotts4371]

You are again proving yourself the Bob Ross of epoxy; happy little accidents turned into a beautiful work of art.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@paulsheffield4729]

That is really Cool. It looks like a Modern Work of Art in the Museum

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@NixTheMouse]

This looks absolutely incredible!!!

[@empmachine]

You gotta make more of these and put them up for sale in the store;; it looks super cool! I bet you could even use other rectangular c-channels (maybe made from bent metal mesh perhaps??) and make a whole array of this cubist effect.. (is it cubist?? maybe I'm trying to be more fancy than I"m built-for).

[@rag_man673]

Suggestion for next time. A light coat of resin over the cube (staples) to help stop them from breaking, and possibly from discolouring. The lighter bronze colour on pot-cam was a little nicer but I think silver would standout more. What if painted the staples before construction with bright colours like the Rubik cube? I absolutely love this channel and watching your experiments. The music, presentation is outstanding. Keep up the great work Ben.

[@itsdweezy]

wow that turned out to be really cool, the cube in the sphere is very nice.

[@Ragadollite]

Oh man this is definitely my new favourite of all your projects !! So cool

[@cherryshrimp2359]

Bloody brilliant. Who would have thought that something epic would come from a few staples.💜

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@cherryshrimp2359]

@@BensWorx Yw.💜

[@victoriaeads6126]

Love it! The staples probably darkened because there is a thin layer of plastic that keeps them together, and it probably burned due to the resin heat.

[@JakHart]

Wow. Ok, so my cousin shared the post of the staple cube, tagging me, and by George, this was my near exact idea. I say near, because my concept was to build the cube, set it some resin, and cut a cube around it, but so that when the resin cube is on a flat surface, the staple cube would be positioned so that opposing corners would be top to bottom. Excellent work good sir!

[@abramklassen3869]

Yeah it came out pretty well

[@JJoker687]

What a gorgeous piece! I agree the "flaws" are what really elevate it! Looks almost post-apocalyptic yet still so clean at the same time. My favorite piece was your rubik's cube ball but this just surpassed it! Beautiful!!

[@RosieWilson-cc5jl]

That finished piece looked amazing

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

I like the old look to it. Its trippy and fun to look at.

[@patriciahunt9818]

It looks amazing. I love watching your projects they're so cool

[@karacoop]

Another fun build! I loved the staple cube build, it was fun to see it come together 😊

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Kara

Thankyou

[@jocelyn248]

The heat reaction from the staples reminds me of the Chem lab I did about a week ago! We turned pennies silver and then put a couple of them in a flame to turn them a beautiful gold colour!!! Best lb ever!

[@roelienliebenberg2516]

Wow that looks amazing. I love the colour it turned out.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@nairocamilo]

Wow, that end result is very pretty Reminds me of an hypercube!

i love it! with discolored staples on inside it kind of looks like infinite stair cases

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@victoriaeads6126]

Have you ever seen the channeling 'lead' used for large stained glass pieces? They come in brass and zinc as well as lead, but some of them have cross sections like a U shape or a tiny I beam (i, not L) shape. You could make some cool 3D geometric shapes with small lengths of those, then make a sphere....

[@peterwilkins]

this is my favorite project you’ve done aside from the rubik’s ball. it’s awesome. congrats on great work

[@timvanboening9432]

That came out really cool looking. The optical illusion is real sweet!

[@jennypaxson3030]

That came out beautiful!

[@garzilla7123]

That did come out quite beautiful, my friend, and I have never seen the cube built out of staples like that before either that in it's self was awesome too.
