Hi Ben big fan. Can you do a hand carved Pyramid with that huge 20L ressin it would be so awesome. Thank you.

[@mrkawasaki496]

Hi Ben, What wood do you use...???

[@guapo9223]

Did you brush the epoxy on the wood before your pour?

[@philgraves7814]

Are you related to Dataless822? your voices sound somewhat similar

[@demonknight7965]

Those bubbles are epicly placed almost as if they were placed there intentionally. Too freaking awesome

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate, yeah it worked out well 👍

[@tracybowling97]

I thought the same thing!

[@haveric24]

yes those bubbles worked out nicely happy accident

[@LostWhits]

You could now make a silicone mould of the finished egg, using the 10l bucket as a hard case and then you could have a mould to pour future big eggs without all the wastage. They'd just be a bit smaller after the clean up.

[@JimJonesGreatBigTable]

That was really cool. I actually liked the bubbles coming up from the burl. It added some drama to the piece.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Jim, I think so too 😊

[@kesami123]

As narrated by Morgan Freeman: "And Ben was engulfed in the resin shavings he so diligently worked to remove and was never seen again." Great job Ben! I love watching your stuff!

😂 Thanks Jennifer 😊

[@slightcurve98]

I’m so happy right now. Was going to go to bed but then this appeared in my feed. I also think the air bubbles at the end make it look quite cool like water is firing out

[@BensWorx]

Thanks for staying up Jack 😊

[@mrbeard6798]

Same- and I have no regrets >:)>

[@puestoak]

I know where this is going...MEGA DRAGON EGG!!!!! 🤩

[@LunaP1]

The other piece can be made into a shallow plant pot that makes it look like a floating land mass with a bonsai tree at the top.

[@BensWorx]

Nice idea 👍

[@jayathay210]

instead of a shallow pot why not have a deep plant pot slopping down into the wood, could still do the bonsai but there's space for more plants that way

[@Oklahomie95]

@@jayathay210 young plants will die from being in deep pots

[@Kylaiskinda]

I'm not sure how well the golf balls would turn or if resin would even make a practical material for the job, but if you could make that into a bucket that would be such a cool storage container for golf balls

[@BensWorx]

Yeah that would be cool 👍

[@camo_customs_7163]

Golf balls are 90% rubber gun so any heat from turning would be very Messy , cool idea about the bucket tho

[@r0llinguphill483]

The bubbles actually work very nicely. Makes it look like a large aquatic egg

[@lavender86222]

It also looks like a night time aerial winter scene of snow, trees and roads.

[@astrid6496]

Wow... It's gorgeous! The air bubbles definitely added to the piece, it's amazing!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@slicksport2000]

You're right about the bubbles. It added a nice little pop to the piece. 👍

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@slicksport2000]

@@BensWorx you are welcome man. You always create interesting pieces.

[@crelos3549]

I like the bubbles trapped in the end result, they look cool

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

Bubbles make the burl look more like a landscape. Beautiful work.

[@samanthadean1083]

That is a HUGE egg!!! Awesome!!! Edit: Maybe make a giant golf tee out of the golf ball pour, and maybe something decorative with the larger blank? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@LunaP1]

It looked like you were being trapped in a slowly escalating spider web.

[@BensWorx]

It felt like it too 😂

[@megatronyeets]

Lol I thought the same thing

[@emmanuelkoech8564]

the bubbles made it even cooler, I think it looks like the ocean, plus the bugs inside that's even better

[@rmrw]

A casting that size had me stressing out! Well done. Looks great.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@DOSHIELD]

Awesome. Can’t wait to see what you do with the larger piece!

[@terrywinge2378]

The bubbles really help make the piece. With the burl painted like that looks like a snapshot from scuba diving.

[@johnzeller1338]

Awesome. The bubbles give a little something extra to the overall look and I really love the blue color.👍👍

[@chartier67]

The bubbles definitely added to the underwater look and the bugs was a nice touch too lol.

[@danteangotti5786]

I actually like the few bubbles that seem to be arising from the wood of the egg! Well done!

[@osd-syrup]

I feel like the bubbles add to the piece. Gives it an extra dimension.

[@Yo-Da-Action]

I like the air bubbles

[@fredfreer75]

love the egg, it looks like a underwater scene, with the air bubbles and all.

[@praisegod4538]

I agree. The bubbles did add a bit of interest to the piece. Well done! On the big one, maybe carve out the top and make a lighted planter?

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Patrick, great idea

[@lynniev]

As a newer member to your channel, I'm enjoying going back to watch your older videos. I don't know how I found you but I really love your stuff! This egg looked like it was otherworldly! The bubbles were excellent features.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Lynnie, I appreciate your support 😊

[@naptimecreations]

I don't mind the bubbles, it turned out epic. Super awesome 😁😁😁

[@mizzshortie907]

I honestly have no idea how I found this channel as I have never really even heard of resin casting ... but I am sure glad I did this is a beautiful art form and you are incredibly talented

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Natasha 😊

[@GenXSimmer70]

i actually like the bubbles, they make it look like a planet breathing and add a little magic to the pieces

[@sabernyari8574]

The bubbles made the piece more interesting to look at.

[@kopp2663]

The bubbles looks like snow. It's beautiful

[@littlewolfofsnow5309]

The bubbles look really cool. It looks kinda like looking at an egg plucked directly from the bottom of a lake or stream.

[@kimwallace1170]

It looks like bubbles that are coming up from the sea floor!! Love it

[@pmt6967]

Love the clarity of your new resin. The bubbles were, as Bob Ross would say, “Happy little accidents” Beautiful piece. Golf balls....lamp shade? The big 20 kg ... cut into smaller sections and make table lamps with LED light strips! Look forward to seeing your videos every week. And your commentary is the best!

[@DanielSMatthews]

Yes in that piece the bubbles probably improve it, a "happy little accident" as a wise man once said.

[@BensWorx]

Definitely 👍

[@meemogan]

Wow, that is spectacular. The result is so much better than I could have imagined.

[@descent815]

It looks like your looking into space. The bubbles are stars. Great job!!

[@Bbugert1]

I like the air trapped in it. It reminds me of the water globe.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Brian

[@unablenarwal8863]

Me going about my day Ben: would you like an egg in these trying times?

[@ladydeanna3355]

i have to admit, that I like the bubbles and cracks way more than the clear casted ones

[@TheDellaniOakes]

that is gorgeous!! I love the bubbles it gives it an undersea feel.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@Riyame]

I actually really liked the bubbles at the end, made it look really cool.

[@outlawfarms3864]

I think it looks great with the bubbles as it makes it look like a underwater scene

[@kaatchef4598]

The air bubbles make it look like an under water world in an egg. Well done :D.

[@din3ysaur]

Looks like some blue volcanic dimension. The air bubbles are kind of like small eruptions happening in the dimension.

[@neonxeno2]

[@din3ysaur]

@@neonxeno2 Exactly

[@alexpettigrew583]

Those trapped bubbles are awesome. Really make the piece.

[@mdc7878]

Before you said it; I thought it, the egg, looked good *with* the bubbles in it. This is, probably, your best egg yet.

[@rajupadhyay2930]

The water bubble was looking like Micky. And yes underwater feel too. I would suggest a sphere from ball cast. And do something handcrafted in that other resin cast. This was awesome 👏🏻 loved it.

[@lorrieruff4402]

I think the big egg turned out nice, it was beautiful. I really like the effects the bubbles added to the piece. I think it would of turn out nice as a sphere too. LOL always bugs, darn little things. What ever you decide to do with that massive one, just don't drop it. It could crush a toe, or break a foot. What ever you decide I am sure it will be beautiful in the end. Till your next one Ben!!

[@pippin2898]

That egg turned out nice. I liked the bubbles too.

[@RagingGamingBear]

You should do the same but make sure there are the bubbles and decorate the top of the wood to make it look like coral or the ocean. Might look neat

[@markduggan3451]

With the bubbles and the bugs it really does look like an underwater piece.

[@karljolley8346]

the bubbles trapped are awesome, do that on purpose. really did add to the piece.

[@patshipp9195]

Absolutely beautiful especially with the bubbles, they add to the piece instead of detracting from the look. I love it.

[@kimberlyrodrigues2998]

I love it with the bubbles. They look so good

[@laurelshortridge8441]

The bubbles are epic. I really like the dragon eggs

[@EveBrandy]

I winced when I saw you standing so close the vacuum pot! "Step back, it could blow" ran thru my mind. Sorry for the reminder but......whew!

[@michellelynch5033]

You're so right it did turn out like it was underwater the bubbles were awesome I love it

[@alcorthewise3512]

Honestly I'd say with the look of the piece, the air bubbles fit quite nicely in it, like blue lava underwater

[@honeydavid6185]

Absolutely beautiful piece. And I like the bubbles in it it adds character. Yeah I would like to see you handcarved something out of that piece. I’d hate to see that beautiful Burl go to waste

[@EveBrandy]

Stunning. I like the bubbles and bugs too.

[@jbooks7055]

The air bubbles are really nice they just add to the piece

[@RandidlySquared]

With the texture of the Burl and the deep blue color, I pictured a Santa's Village in the North Pole. Have some swirly rainbow on top for the Northern Lights & I think that could be an amazing diorama.

[@Gimplife1971]

That looks amazing. I love the bubbles they add a feeling of exploding air pockets off the bottom of the ocean floor.

[@bigtoe2820]

Great experiment video. Everything turned out well. The bubbles added a little flare. I would love seeing your hand carving skills on the big piece

[@Variella]

Oh LORD that's a chunky amount of resin. I love how adventurous you are with trying new things! Really appreciate the great showing of the creative process!

[@mizzshortie907]

Would be awesome if you found an giant dead spider and encased it in an egg! I would definitely buy it

[@iamnoone.]

The air bubbles makes it very cool

[@kariserbousek1796]

Love the bubbles in it. Gives it an understatement feel.

[@michellecroft415]

My son has just received my 50 th birthday present, its stunning i love it. Thank you x

[@TheBlackdragon1972]

The great dinosaur egg I've ever seen so beautiful🐢

[@OpalholicsAnonymous]

It would also make a crazy log stump if you carved it with bark texture

[@bethaselner71]

This is cool. I also was thinking it looked underwater like. Cant wait for the bigger one

[@KiyoshoA]

Would you ever make a compilation video of you polishing resin? I find it very relaxing and satisfying to watch! c:

[@Dreadtheday]

The bugs and bubbles are wonderful

[@stever746]

beautiful egg you did a fantastic pour and turning

[@Cuddleshock]

Ooh, I've been excited for this! It's almost half past one in the morning, but this is worth staying up for. 😄

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou, I appreciate your support 😊

[@lakeshorewoodturner5136]

That is awesome. Definitely a big egg. Great job Ben.

[@rb3046]

The colors you used and the air bubbles locations make it look like the ocean floor and underwater air vents on the sea bed. Absolutely incredible!

[@tmwoodworking]

As always, great work! I kind of like the bubbles that formed inside!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate me too 😊

[@lol4fun]

I think the bubbles add to it, almost like stars in the sky

[@jWardp]

I need to go to sleep, but I can't stop watching your videos

[@hotandzee]

Wicked stuff Mate. Being able to pour that deep is certainly going to be a game changer.

[@Gonzo-tx1lq]

That is a beautiful piece of art. Love it

[@ConnieConnie824]

I Loved the bubbles in it. What a Great end result 👏🏻

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Connie 😊

[@NICKin3D]

What a wonderful piece.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@msudawgma]

I BELIEVE It will stay on and also, the bubbles look like stars in a galaxy far, far away!

[@andresmarrero8666]

With how well this one came out you should probably make more dragon eggs and experiment with each one to determine the best ways to finalize the process and manipulate the bubbles to a degree.

[@delvinhill5827]

Looks like the sea floor with the bubbles and the bug making it look like it should be there... great job

[@PBRJOHN684]

Makes me think of an under water alien world especially with the air bubbles and those bugs trapped inside. it Turned out Great mate. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@BensWorx]

Thanks John 😊

[@1986krazy]

With those bubbles, it definitely looks like an ocean floor that is venting. Epic piece, Ben!

[@heathermacmillan962]

Awesome colours...the bugs were a bonus 😁

[@subascosauce8288]

Now that’s a Corker! Brilliant stuff.👍

[@OpalholicsAnonymous]

You should make the big one into a base for a coffee table or carve a bowl chape from the top and use it as a stand for that monster you made in this video. Like a resin pedestal.

[@BensWorx]

Great idea 👍

[@shawnbyers9862]

The bubbles looked as if they were supposed to be there, nice work. I would very much enjoy seeing what you could carve the big piece into.

[@msudawgma]

I see now what Tania meant about the spider web.; you should repurpose the strings at Halloween.

[@destinythompson4248]

It's so satisfying watching you carve that!
