Deff look killer with a light under it ❤

[@jambalie]

Made my first purchase this afternoon! 😊

[@christinereinhart2111]

I have awesome things

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou! I really appreciate your support :)

[@Smalltownnews]

​@@KarMicFox11 wait!!!! He wasn't wearing his mask in this video. He usually wears one I must have over looked it. I can't believe that, he always preaches about safety and wearing proper protection

[@vmaxwell0798]

I'm sending this video to my daughter. She had a stroke 5 years ago and began doing epoxy art. She has a bench grinder and this may give her some ideas. She also prepares and sells craft acorns. She makes bracelets with just one hand. She is so amazing, my beautiful and gifted daughter.

[@cathylindeboo.9598]

What a sweet comment!! I had a stroke a couple of years ago also, although Im not an artist!!

[@lisaalexander1824]

How lovely for her....can't stop creative ppl....mine would turn to muddy brown lol😅

[@jeandunn1594]

​@@cathylindeboo.9598oh I believe there is an artist hiding in each of us. You just need to find yours, it could be cooking or teaching, or singing, or reading, art comes in so many forms. Maybe yours is sitting quietly with an old person in a nursing home, just holding their hand. You are a beautiful artist....💜😘🥰

[@Deborah-ut3ud]

🐝This turned out to be so gorgeous. So interesting to see the process from design conception to beautiful, unique piece of art. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@ingridr8917]

Nice but too much work and mess for me

[@HWA520a]

My little girl watches a lot of silly stuff on you tube, so I've been flooding it with the good stuff like this video so she can see all the beautiful things people are doing!

[@DizzKola3]

Great idea!! ❤

[@kheventplanner]

Hey I should send it to my granddaughter! Great idea thanks!

[@trumpthis2]

Art and science is always an idea to capture their little brains. Also free like taking my boys to the airport to watch the planes

[@mistybollinger3312]

Wonderful idea 😊😊

[@were2baby134]

How it's made is still a great TV program for kids and adults alike. My kids still sit and watch it with their dear old parents

[@deloradeabel8487]

Who would have ever imagined using a wasp nest to turn into such a beautiful work of art?You have a very creative gift,an unlimited imagination!

[@deeray5756]

Ive definitely thought about it, that's why I'm watching this

[@cwavt8849]

Always willing to help an artist out with a comment. It isn’t the kind od thing that I usually like, but it is pretty and I never appreciated how much effort went into making them. Thank you

[@emmmeocacatoo6749]

Just beautiful, just think of those hard-working wasps that made that nest and never knew it was going to be art.

[@BR-dc3jn]

Maybe they did 🤔

[@brittneystardust1311]

I just wanna say that I REALLY appreciate you sharing that it didn’t go to plan and a “failure turned into a happy little accident” or whatever you said that was really cute and profound. I often get sooo discouraged when my plans fall apart, and just give up. And nobody online shares the mishaps. It’s all about “aesthetic” and “brand deals” and monetization, but your video was informative, inspiring, SO FUN TO WATCH, and so authentic. You can see the joy you have in creating and it is contagious, my friend. Thank you 💕

[@allmyedgesaresharp]

Me too! Sometimes I just want to toss those accidents but something that blows me away is sometimes they are the first to sell, 😂😂 one lady told me perfect is boring, so I guess you just never know❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤ it's frustrating when you can see it in your head but not make it lo look that way, just remember that ugly to you can be beautiful to someone else and just keep going for it!

[@CactusGal]

We had a painter, in the States, named Bob Ross. He used to say that there are no mistakes in artwork, just happy little accidents! Very calming to watch him, if you get a chance to watch.

[@brittneystardust1311]

@ oh I LOOOOVE Bob Ross!!!!! Duh! Of COURSE!!! He was the original for the “happy little accidents”. That’s what I need to do. Watch more Bob Ross. Thank you for the sweet reminder and taking time out of your day to share it with me. Sending you all the love in the cosmos. 💕💕

[@debbiemorey6044]

As a beekeeper I can tell you that beekeepers would go crazy over this. Just find a local beekeeper and get some burr comb to make them with.

[@Doxymeister]

That's an awesome idea!

[@sarahfortune1170]

Wowser, how beautiful is that!!! ❤❤❤

[@fisheswit10rodz]

So pretty

[@arktisticallycreative4932]

It's a great way to recycle dead wasp nests, though.

[@louisebernard5780]

Great idea, now I am thinking where to put my hands on them 😆 Never would have thought of that and it turned out beautiful!

[@Kristin-e3w]

Just watched with my 5 yr old granddaughter. She loved it.... she welds with her mom and now wants a lathe! Keep up the videos please!

[@pioneercynthia1]

If your granddaughter is already welding at 5, you and your wife are some fantastic grandparents!

[@JamesCoody-l7u]

Ive seen. So many people doing videos with resign, but it takes a true gift for someone to take a piece of nature and create something that will last forever. And SIR may I add you’ve gone above and beyond and have made a piece of beauty. ❤carrie

[@oddaudiocrafting]

It is incredible how well the colors swirled without getting muddy or combining too much as I've often seen them do in others' projects. You seemed to have the magic touch in this project and it turned out amazing!

[@benjalucian1515]

He didn't agitate the colored resins and was very careful to just let them lie, otherwise, yeah the resins would have mixed and become muddy.

[@blazer5154]

If you try another one like this, you might want to start with a clear bottom layer and then pipette in the galleries. This one turned out really cool too!

[@akhagee4707]

That's what Inwas thinking, clear bottom layer to close the bottoms of the cells. Then pipe in colors.

[@BlueGrandma64]

Sir, you are truly amazing ❤ I love how you can take something that most people would see no value in and turn it into something so beautiful 😊

[@DawnOldham]

This is my first time seeing your channel, so the algorithm sent me to you! 😊 Your work is BEAUTIFUL!

[@athena00125]

My 2 year old daughter loves to watch your videos every Saturday while she eats breakfast! She is always talking about "making something" in her sweet little baby words. 😂 Thanks for the joy you bring our house every Saturday! It's a great way to start the day! ❤

[@mookinbabysealfurmittens]

[I'm just a stranger, but] that is so cute!

[@ooshta]

Great job. Yet another reason to bring back the shop classes in high school ❤.

[@shannabauer]

I couldn't agree more!

[@Corkies-1985]

Also I love the fact how the colours mixed at the bottom

[@BensWorx]

Yeah it looked really cool 😊

[@sandysanders4199]

I like making pendants out of the smaller ones. I use liquid latex on the back which seals the holes. You can paint over the latex. Then I put a small amount of clear resin inside to seal off the inside chambers from each other before filling each cavity with the colors I want them to be. Yours turned out beautiful!

[@cindyahrentzen7542]

That is really amazing and beautiful!!! A real work of art!

[@ameliasachs6704]

Like it, that you call your (under) pressure pot „Freddie“ 😎

[@normastone1044]

I can just imagine Freddie chuckling over this.

[@LOD-dt8to]

I like there's a picture of Freddie on it. ❤

[@mysticsoulshine632]

I love how the happy little accidents end up looking like you meant to do it all along. Keep up the good work.

[@sonnyjs15]

Bob Ross 😢

[@ecdeluca]

My 12-yr old & 10 yr old daughters were really inspired by this video to start working with resin and creating some of their own one of a kind art pieces! We were both very impressed with your equipment, especially your helmet! We'll probably start with something closer to your turtle silicone mold tutorial. Thanks for the super fun and addictive viewing!

[@amandachilds5290]

Wow that is not what I expected! I'd love to see it in a monochromatic, ombre color scheme of blues, corals or greens! That could be beautiful too and might be good for beachy decorated home or even stand in for coral or underwater looking items that won't make anyone think of wasps! Very cool

[@MermaidMoney]

I was thinking it looked really cool but also it still gave me the creeps LOL

[@EvaFG1962]

Beautiful

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

We all know that Ben is secretly the Flash. His stiring and sanding speeds are superhuman!!!! 😂

[@kimberlybeebe790]

That was a really great idea. And you're right, the back was REALLY cool!

[@Neodymium5312]

Glad you see you back and in good spirits. Keep the projects coming this was super cool

[@moragsu]

Absolutely beautiful! You are very talented!

[@k9insomniac783]

As long as Ive been watching your videos, I’ve always admired your ability and vision with turning epoxy. I’m a wood turner as well and I get sad when I use epoxy. I never quite get the results I’m looking for. So, in short, I’ll live vicariously through you. Lol

[@SubarcticFox]

Amazing work...never dreamed someone could make art like this out of an old nest!

[@angelakimbrell1214]

This is my first time of seeing anyone do anything with a wasp nest and it is so beautiful. Fantastic work thank you for sharing.

[@NiaLaLa_V]

I use them in my open moss gardens. I like to have them hanging over the moss. Cannot be done in a closed terrarium, for anyone reading who wants to do it too.

[@VictoryDunn-gq4ey]

What a beautifully creative way to preserve the intricate nest of a wasp. Well done you!

[@anastasiarose9003]

My father was one of the first generation artists to use epoxy doing things like this way back in the seventies. So watching you make art with this and using all this new technology is super cool. Thank you for doing your videos your art is quite beautiful and I really enjoyed it. I hope you have success on your Etsy shop and your video viewership goes up.

[@ThatArrow]

I’m definitely feeling some new energy with this one and it turned out great. I hope everyone is doing great, thanks for sharing

[@pamelatome5857]

Fascinating!! Mesmerizing colors!!!! I even like the funny clicks and clacks of your fancy machines!

[@patriciayard107]

Absolutely amazing! As a fellow artist, I’ve noticed that folks are losing their appreciation for fellow artists talents. I’ve learned the value of someone else’s gift as they “Put themselves out there”. Even though I paint ornaments, I spend time watching someone share their gifts, and process with the world. See, as a person, it’s important to encourage other artists in what they do. Speak out, give compliments that let them know how much you enjoyed seeing their gift. Bottom line here, if you expect blessings, you should be able to bless others It’s easier to be kind and show your support, you never know if that person was thinking about giving up. On life…….. I so enjoyed this video tonight! Looking forward to more of them in the future.! Thank You!!❤

[@StrandedLifeform]

Oh wow! No matter which direction you look at the piece, it's absolutely stunning! Great work, Ben. ❤

[@miss__anthropy]

I started watching your videos a few years ago, and they were great for me because I could watch them and turn my brain off and just enjoy watching you work on the lathe or sanding or mixing five minute epoxy or whatever. I sort of fell out of it a while ago, but when I heard about what happened with your daughter I wanted to reengage with the channel to support you. And let me tell you, man: this channel is still really, REALLY fantastic at shutting my brain off and just letting me stare at stuff. As someone who normal describes their brain as being like a pinball machine (thoughts bouncing off each other and lighting things up and bouncing off the walls ALL THE TIME), finding Brain Off stuff is really rare. Thank you for allowing me to just watch the pretty colors and relax. Seriously, it's such a gift.

[@andreafuller6207]

I have actually been thinking of turning the old wasps nest above my garage into something with resin. This video has been very inspiring, thanks!!

[@joshfixler]

My 7-year-old daughter and I love your videos. This one was a return to form. Thanks for showing her how to turn a mistake into something beautiful!

[@ibbaboo]

Absolutely breathtaking. I love watching your videos. Who knew an old bees nest could turn into art.

[@monamelendez1953]

I admire the art of making something so beautiful out of things "we" toss away... What an amazing craft ! LOVE IT!!

[@___ben___]

1000% this video deserves engagement!

[@bonnied72]

I love how the wasp's nest seems to have its own movement inside, as the piece turns at the end. Really beautiful!

[@smzdreamz5500]

I love your work and your presentations. I'm glad to be able to watch you on my phone app when I can't be on my computer or via the TV. Thank you for making your videos available to us.

[@my2cents581]

What a creative way to preserve a beautiful piece of nature!

[@jenniferthomas8557]

Best use for a wasp's nest ever! 🤩

[@gapeachnw4786]

Beautiful!! This video put all kinds of things I’ve seen in my 60 yrs into another perspective. I had not thought through all it took to make some of the amazing nature crafts I’ve seen over the yrs. I love natural things being used to create art & useful things. Thank you for the details. Your videos are well done. ♥️

[@olgs37]

Today is my daughter's birthday (she turned 17! Yikes!) and we're kinda sad because this year, I'm fully disabled and incapable of doing anything with the kids. I declined (in health) about three years ago, and then became fully disabled to the point of being bedbound due to the severe pain I'm in. The only entertainment I get is what comes to me in my bed. That is to say, thank you for your videos because if it wasn't for videos like this, I think I'd have gone mental from zero stimulation. And btw, that Rubiks ball looks so damn interesting! My son (whose birthday was six days ago, and he turned 16!) absolutely loves things like that (he's autistic; puzzles are his thing, lol). It's really fascinating the kinds of incredible and unique things that people's minds come up with! I hope your engagement goes up and continues to go up. You make such beautiful things.

[@ritawhite5536]

Blessings to you I'm in the same situation ❤️ you got this!

[@WishyWashyMaybe]

Hi, sorry, it sucks to be have chronic pain. Please check out "The Switch" @ Empowered Therapies. Maybe it will help. 😊

[@RhondaMasters]

That is a Happy Accident. Its absolutely STUNNING!!

[@truss5234]

Wow!!!!!! I couldn't turn away for a second watching this!!! How beautiful the results!!!!! I look forward to seeing more 😊 This deserves ALL the likes. God bless you & your channel!

[@kimlindsey5178]

I have never seen your channel before, but oh my gosh! You make some extraordinary pieces. I need to binge your channel right now! Thank you!!

[@CynthiaRaines-p4e]

I'm speechless. I've saved these and didn't know what to do with them. You made it look totally incredible. Thank you so much 😊

[@flurrythesabor9163]

The final product looks absolutely stunning!

[@Hythyr]

I watched the vlog, and I know what you wanted, but honestly, plan b is beautiful! The back is a work of art - Van Gogh vibes for sure! Great project, Ben!

[@stevenperry3515]

You are so talented, Ben. I love the way you present the videos too, particularly the sped up bits. Something very therapeutic about listening to the sounds of superfast mixing, sanding, etc.. - Sue.

[@aportgirl]

All I can say if you made a piece of art that can be enjoyed everyday.

[@prestonclark6472]

That might be the most interesting epoxy and lathe turning project I've even seen! SO beautiful and the back is gorgeous!!! Great job.

[@stevebennett3495]

Ben your cretivity and artist visions are mind blowing and a joy to behold! Thanks mate-for making the world a more beautiful place!

[@leospitz6541]

Hey Ben, this looks awesome! But I have a suggestion if you have a chance to do it again I have a suggestion. After you clean out the galleries cast the nest in just enough clear resin to seal the bottom. After it is cured fill up the galleries with colored clear resin, and when it is cured encase it in clear resin. Turn it so the top is a dome and put a light under it. I think it would look amazing. Oh another thing you and your much prettier half might try is hydrodipping some of your frogs in wild mixes of colors

[@benjalucian1515]

Agree. That would allow people without heavy duty equipment to do something similar.

[@ChaosCrowKae]

It turned out so colorful! I love the bright colors, and the natural elements from the nest.

[@Brenda-i2k]

Now i like how you didnt take your time about showing us alot of people take there sweet time to where you get bored and change the channel . Thanks 😊

[@Brenda-i2k]

I bet that would be pretty under a light , very pretty😊😊

[@valerieserenacarlson7086]

That is the most amazing thing I've seen done with a wasp nest. You are a true artisan.

[@poppysiddal5860]

Gorgeous work. Beautiful Etsy store as well, friend. I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel. You’re a keeper.

[@feelingsandstuff-kp4vu]

I am a first time watcher and I was amazed!!! How you can think of this and then DO it! Simply beautiful!!

[@amadeojuarez8371]

Just commenting hoping your engagement numbers go back up. Always enjoy your projects and your energy. 👍🏼

[@outtadarkness1970]

You had me hooked when you said you were using a wasps' nest! You did not disappoint! Thank you for sharing. ❤️🌻

[@miriamluskberry]

Wow! I watch a lot of resin art and I've never seen anything like this! I've got a list of things to look up, like "pressure pot" for starters! Simply amazing, you have taken resin art to a whole new level.

[@jennclepper1215]

Absolutely amazing! The "happy accidents" are always the best.

[@chessicahullum2896]

This turned out deserve standing applause❤❤❤

[@christycannon237]

Hello from Tennessee USA I never thought I'd say that a wasp or bees nest is beautiful, but im hear saying that it is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are just WOW, I love watching how the simplest of things turn to such beauty with resin . I hope all the best for your channel and can't wait to see more of your work❤

[@debrajol3585]

Yah usually when we say ‘resins gonna resin’ it’s not so good. This one the resin was gonna resin in a most spectacular way! Fantastic work.

[@RingoXIX]

That "failure" definitely turned out better than the original probably would've. Beautiful!

[@jessicaolea941]

I’m a Family Consumer Science teacher in the USA. Your things are so super cool. I think kids would love them.

[@charlie8124]

Prayers for you and your family. KZbin isn’t the same without y’all.

[@brittanylamb375]

What happened

[@M1N1Girl007]

Yeah what's going on?😢​@@brittanylamb375

[@Finny_finn_finn]

Yah...what happened?

[@robinb.stewart1912]

Ugh I hate when I'm left wanting to know what happened?!?!?!

[@janbounds911]

YT needs to change their algo. This is a lovely piece. As an artist, I know how things ebb and flow. Their algos don't. As a musician, you can go up and down many times throughout the course of your career, until you hit. This is why YT isn't good for artists in that sense. Don't stop. Don't be discouraged bc robots are saying you aren't hitting their mark. Just do you.❤❤❤😊

[@spaced1298]

I just saw your video for the first time today and now I’m “binging” on them! You are such an artist, seeing naturally beautiful items…which you then further enhance and also preserve for many many years, bringing lasting pleasure and joy to their owner. I can’t do what you do, sadly, but I sure love watching you do it! ❤

[@gaile2845]

I was worried for a minute, but you pulled it off. Amazing.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@randomusername266]

11:53 no way he said that😭😭

[@letsdothismomthing9195]

I hope ppl appreciate all the work that goes into making these by hand when they buy them. ❤ This piece is beautiful!!

[@TheParkAttendant]

If the law would allow it, I have the interior of a hornets nest I would send to you. It has three tiers and looks absolutely alien.

[@VictoriaMiske]

If there's no hornets in it it should be safe to send

[@SuperBrowndog1]

This is exactly why I love resin art, everything looks so beautiful and unique. I love it. 💕

[@KaylaPeacock-d1l]

I've just started doing resin and I absolutely love it. But I must say you take it to a whole new level. I was just blown away by the creativity. And all the tools and gadgets are pretty sweet. Thank you for sharing your art my man. It's truly amazing.

[@texximac5292]

Working with resin is so versatile !!! Never know what you can come up with next !!! Love your ideas and this looks amazing !!! I'm an artist and often paint bees and honeycomb !!!!! Love your work .... ! Love from Oz ⭐

[@cheyennehdakota854]

HOLY MOLY, THAT PIECE IS LIKE A PORTAL TO ANOTHER WORLD! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I have many of these on my property that you could use.

[@RuthHeller-i3h]

Ben your wasp design is amazing. It's beautiful what you can do with nature's creation. Thank You for sharing your creation.

[@katd1845]

Wow I loved this!! I've been laying here in bed for over a week with a terrible episode of bronchitis, slowly on the mend. This really put a smile on my face.

[@CissyBrazil]

Just gorgeous! I came across this channel in my feed. I use resin art for rocks after I paint them and they come out great. I’ve been doing that for over a year now. So when I saw that you used an old wasp nest, I was so excited to watch this then I realized that this type of thing is not teaching me anything because there’s so much machinery that is used and products that I’m not familiar with, that I was disappointed, but I’ll tell you. This is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you so much!

[@chadross2217]

This is one of the greatest pieces I've ever seen. So cool with the wasp nest. You seemed so at peace creating your work

[@KittyKat1]

Mother Nature will be so proud! Beautiful!

[@ConnyNordlicht]

What a great idea! I had a wasp nest till just a week ago. Never would have thought to do so. Wonderful, it's wonderful, just as wonderful as you are. Thanks for let us watch it.😊

[@SamManor-r5i]

STUNNING STUNNING PIECE! So thankful found you. I have total access to all the machines & tools where I live in a snowbird resort. I am an artist and now have found something new to become serious about. I thank you immensely!!

[@ASnavely]

This is the first time a bee nest didn't send shivers down my spine. I'm allergic to bees but this was beautiful and I would be happy to have it in my home.

[@maxinemine1933]

I just love watching you take something and turn it into something beautiful. You are so talented.

[@nancymanuel8536]

I have always loved bees nests how intricate they are how detailed and efficient they are, sir you have found your hobby beautiful

[@wandaturcotte9119]

Absolutely beautiful!!! SO creative🎉😊

[@susannagarlitz792]

KZbin just recommended this video to me and I'm happy that I watched it. The wasp nest artwork turned out fantastic looking!

[@WendyDahling3]

This is so beautiful. I wish I knew a friend who had the equipment to make such wonderful things. It really is a work of art. Plus I’m obsessed with the curly resin bits that shoot off.

[@McJulieO]

I’m so impressed at your skill! You make this complicated project look so EASY!

[@MyTRiUMh]

God has blessed you with an incredible talent. That was one of the prettiest. Most creative works of art I've seen in quite a long time, being made with liquid polymers and colors like that,Too Beautiful...A True Work Of Art..😊.

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

You make some truly amazing projects. I am amazed by the tools you have...You are SO talented.

[@NintendoJames_new]

Really loved how the “mistake” of usage pipettes turned into such a nice swirly colour! ❤
