Was This The Sprinkle Project You Asked For?!

After making the sprinkle-handled ice scoop, many of you said you wanted WHOLE SPRINKLES. So I added the leftovers to a mold, then the whole thing had to sit for 8 weeks till I got my cast off!
Let me know if this was worth the wait!

Keeping the whole sprinkles visible is just so much more satisfying.

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

I feel like they're more readable as sprinkles.

[@Aleph-Noll]

yeah i was not a fan of the cut into sprinkles looked weird

[@jessevennard2640]

I haven’t watched yet but I hope he dissolves them out. I don’t want a thick clear layer either. So excite

[@lewiekong]

There's something both comforting and unnerving about such a sweet but potentially dangerous item, kinda like the gummy bear axe.

[@RealAndySkibba]

This is exactly the amount of sprinkles needed.

[@Tazerboy_10]

Yup

[@mrnlce7939]

Mabey you could make a mould out of some finished scales that way it would be quicker for the next knife video. Also you would be able to keep the aesthetic you were going for (no more white sprinkles) Just an idea I had while watching. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@SHKEKEKE]

I was thinking this

[@call-me-pigeon]

I am so glad you kept the sprinkles whole for this one!! I love how colorful it is!

[@neildoesstuff]

You are not allowed to injure yourself, it is unacceptable as we all need more Peter Brown. Also I am glad you are feeling better and thank you for taking the time to create content for us.

[@shortsupply4760]

looks incredible! I think if you wanted to work with sprinkles again, I would love to see what happened if the sprinkles that were exposed got completely dissolved and then the voids filled back up with either clear resin to see whats underneath or colourful resin. Love your videos, thanks for the uploads

[@OGBunney]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@dawsie]

Great idea🤗

[@Arlecchino_Gatto]

Your videos are always so relaxing to watch. I love how varied your projects are.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thank you. That's nice to hear.

[@caliguladeux]

@@peterbrownwastaken You could maybe make a hollow handle in (just) resin with a cnc machine or a 3D printer or a mold. then polish it or paint it with resin then fill it with resin+sprinkels. That way all the sprinkles would remain whole on all sides.

[@No_Way_NO_WAY]

The 3D effect of the sprinkles looks amazing. If you make a mold in the shape of the handle scales you should be able to keep intact sprincles on all sides except the inner one (which is not visible) Paired with a bronze finger guard, this probably would look amazing.

[@alex.berkowitz]

Next time you're working with a material that you want to avoid sanding, it might help to pour a 1-2mm layer of clear into the mold first, then the media. That way you'll have an extra buffer of clear resin on the outside that will be harder to accidentally sand through.

[@WellWoopdidoo]

The sprinkle resin was just so satisfyingly viscous.

[@ThisIsNotMyYouTubeHandle]

an easier trick than hot gluing wood to the top: use masking tape and superglue. one strip of masking tape on the object adhesive side down, same on another object, put them together with superglue between them. holds strong for shearing forces (like sanding) and comes off easy with little to no clean up

[@rdstngry]

I've seen John Saunders use that trick on his CNC mills, under some pretty impressive loads, Over on his channel NYC CNC. Done it myself duplicating plywood parts with a router and a trim bit.

[@pyromen321]

I’d definitely put too much on and end up with super glue bleeding between my pieces

[@PraxZimmerman]

Consider, sanding and forming the handles of a knife until it's nice and comfortable, then making a mold of them and casting a new set that are the perfect shape without having all the sanding damage to the materials inside.

[@Lunch_box]

Make a silicone mold for the scales so next time it's easier, also I would suggest making this in 3 pours a thin clear layer you can sand down and polish, the sprinkle layer in the middle and a layer on the outside to flatten and polish so the sprinkles don't get sanded down

[@suep9445]

Yes, including the sides!

[@JTMusicbox]

I love that you left in the part where the one side went flying! It added just the right amount of tension which made the final result that much more satisfying when it all worked out.

[@oldschoolnewschool6270]

Knives are useful tools when needed, always useful when handle materials are unique. They make for good conversation pieces while being useful.

[@joshbenoit2859]

I think a next fun project would be DIY wood dyes. I have quite a few suggestions to make for that one too.

[@TheSkullcleaver]

The perfect knife for a pastry chef.

[@mdnbrgh7998]

Been watching you since I was 15, I’m 23 now and your content still is so entertaining.

[@TotalBoat]

This one turned out awesome! Sprinkles for days!

[@lizzynarnia9520]

It may not be the sprinkle project we asked for, but it is absolutely the sprinkle project we needed!!

[@nicholasmccoy1336]

Grips scales for a bright stainless 1911 pistol would be somethin! Glamorous.

[@carolcrump32]

You have the most unique knife set in world!

[@AnonOmis1000]

I'm glad you thought about the pins. I was fretting over how you could shorten the pins without ruining the finish you wanted.

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Love the extra little bit of depth that last coat of resin gave! And being able to see the whole sprinkles really makes a difference!

[@datalisk]

congrats on the recovery

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thanks! Feels good to have it off!

[@safire994]

I keep seeing the scrap pieces polished into gem shapes & made into jewelry or beads for the sheath

[@Starrynightdiner]

A cake knife would actually have been cool. Then you’d have a birthday party serving set ❤🎉

[@TaintedCamper]

these scales look amazing

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thanks!

[@f.k.burnham8491]

Peter- I have a challenge that I think will display (and maybe) tax your resin and wood working skills. I would love to see you build a marble race using various wood scraps in or out of resin, and various "Rube Goldberg" contraptions on it. It could be made in several interlocking sections and maybe 2-3 feet tall in places. Are you up to it? I think this could end up being an award winning project, ala Makers Central.

[@CubWiFI]

I love the sprinkles! Though I think this would be really cool with one of those bright blue blades from the Dessert Warrior series

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Those sound cool Do you have a link?

[@Guru_1092]

​@@peterbrownwastaken Pretty sure most links get blocked in KZbin comments for spam reasons. They might have sent a response and it got deleted.

[@renataravensong]

Now you have a sprinkle birthday set. Cake plate, knife to cut the cake, scoop for the ice cream. :D

[@cwarts5461]

Hi Peter, I do a lot of artwork and things with resin. For the high spots/occasional spikes, take a paper towel roll sans paper towels and rub it on the high spots. It’s surprising how well it works without scuffing or damaging the finish of the resin 😊

[@GodSponge]

It definitely looks much better with the whole sprinkles. So glad you decided to do it that way. Looks cool!

[@hecatesaga]

In all of my years of watching these videos, I've never wanted a piece as desperately as I want this knife. I've never seen something this accurately embody my personality.

[@milliondotz]

I love the intro for these videos. Theyre very 2000's pbs early morning Saturday Sunday educational intros lol. I know how specific that is but its what it reminds me of

[@maddieadams75]

More sprinkles are always best. Throw moderation out the garage door. ❤

[@sayonara1733]

I work in kitchens and I'd be thrilled to have a knife with these scales! Awesome work

[@UncySpam]

Went back and watched the sprinkle cake plate video after watching this. It's amazing to see how far your video making skills have come in that time.

[@jencstephens5452]

Love the end result with this project. And also wanted to thank you for taking the time to list where we can get each piece needed to recreate the project in our own shops. The work you put into these videos is what makes them so enjoyable to watch, thank you 😊

[@baseddino]

You have become the resin master. Arigato sensei 🙏

[@whocares6698]

You're the bestest friend ever thank you for your videos

[@salt-emoji]

Also that snake shed knife handle is so kickass

[@henricusaquae867]

Haven’t watched your videos in a long time and just decided to try this one since it popped up. Always a joy watching what you do and your energy. Glad your arm is healed, thank you for making my day a little better

[@calebshort2169]

I really like this look a lot more which is saying something because I loved the ice cream scoop handle

[@DrKebaby]

Hey Peter, a neat little trick I learned from John Malecki when taping two things together to make an identical cut is to use like blue tape on both sides, add glue on one side, activator on the other and them press them together. Has a nice hold, but is easier to remove once you're done.

[@courtneyd4527]

Welcome back to the world of power tools! Great looking knife, I love seeing your plan evolve as you go haha

[@Panffles]

Peter, I saw someone had a board with long handles that fit in their pressure pot to make it easier to get resin projects in and out, I think this would be helpful in the future for you!

[@AndromedaD]

Evan and Katelyn have something like that with a little bubble level

[@Panffles]

@@AndromedaD I wonder if that's who I saw with it, I saw it briefly in a tiktok

[@linalinux]

Get it!! Hunt it down with your sprinkle knife!

[@salemstrange2091]

Wow Peter had such a lovely tan!

[@milliams]

With that rasp bit on your drill press, you'll find it easier (and safer) if the work piece sits flat on the drill table by lowering the bit (or raising the table). It will stay perpendicular to the bit and give you more control.

[@cheffrin3751]

Very cool project! Glad to have you back in business!

[@IcedVen]

if you had layers of resin to work with around the sprinkles, i think you'd get that clean sprinkle look when you take it to the power tools! great video as usual!

[@mikefuellbrandt]

Next suggestion? What happens to Maldon's flaky salt cast in resin? Does it dissolve or does it stay as flake crystals?

[@OrigamiMiku]

I'm glad to hear you are doing better

[@PandaLovesEveryone]

Sir you are aging like fine wine. Have been watching you for many years and it keeps getting better. Content is still amazing too!

[@JakeThompson]

Am I going to fight this fly with a sprinkle handled knife? 😂😂😂 Good Stuff!!

[@BPVapes]

Another comment but as far as getting the pins sanded, i believe it's Kyle Royer i learned this from but put painters tape on the scales and pop the pins through. Then you can sand them most of the way down with a sacrificial reference surface and finish them off with files and some care. I've used it on my own knife scales and it works surprisingly well as long as you pay attention which you seem to. Cheers and good luck in the future

[@ivokolarik8290]

Glad you are all better

[@KittKattRED]

Awesome job! They also make icing sprinkles that are solid color all the way through!

[@silverfairy614]

I was wondering why there was such a long gap between videos... glad to hear you're healing up well from the broken wrist!

[@Nightowlnursery]

It’s perfect ! Can’t get too many sprinkles !

[@smaddiem9492]

I'm furious at youtube for unsubbing me from you. Love your content.

[@FuckingPurple]

it looks like a prop from deadpool or something similar - a deadly weapon with cute sprinkle design. amazing!

[@ChaseHukill]

Please do another Choose Your Own Adventure Livestream!! Last one was so much fun!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I ordered another book. Should be here soon.

[@pyro-millie5533]

Yo this looks so cool!!! Well done preserving the whole sprinkleeesss

[@Tazerboy_10]

Nicely done, Peter!

[@JordanWoodwerx]

That’s so cool Peter! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bingusdingus8239]

Woah crazy new thumbnail design! Cool stuff!

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Never enough sprinkles 😅 glad you are out of the cast 😁

[@mel7953]

favorite knife so far!

[@digitaIgorilla]

I like it 👍 keeping the 'whole sprinkle' side is harder work but so rewarding 🥰

[@RobinsBuysandDIYs]

Hi Peter!!!!!

[@omegateamsports5291]

What a sweet knife handle…ba dum psst….thank you I’ll be here all week, don’t forget to tip the wait staff

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Those sprinkles are perfect!! 🌈👍 I liked that you coated it in resin! 🤗

[@jbaby362]

Oh the safety sanding pads are clever!

[@THEAPRILFOOL-1983]

Really love these videos keep making them plz . And I'm glad your arm is doing better

[@faithlmao5082]

So happy everytime you upload 😊

[@withered_dragon_head]

I would love to see what the surface finish would be on the sprinkle resin if you dissolved the partial sprinkles left over from cutting/sanding with water and then filled with a thin overcoat to clear up the depressions.

[@fckarasiak]

Another sweet project! Great job!

[@s13Marino]

It might be interesting to sand through and not seal a sprinkle project, put it in water to dissolve the sprinkles, and be left with an interesting texture. Always like to see the creative ways you do resin projects.

[@ElectrifiedArts]

Peter, there is a high-pitched whine in your shop audio around 16 kilohertz. Younger viewers like me can still hear in that range while you may not be able to detect it when editing. I would assume you can run a filter fairly easily. Good luck, great video, keep it up

[@oneshotme]

Nice dust collector you had there (your shirt) LOL I think those scales would have looked better on a kitchen knife but that's just me. Cool little side project with your leftovers Peter!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@minecafe]

"No fingers today, just sprinkles. *sad* ...Just Sprinkles..." XD I love it!

[@ChiseledDiamond]

Honestly i would love to see some peojects made out of any scraps and offcuts of materials put into resins

[@susan_halla]

Such a happy way to shiv someone! 😂

[@domramsey]

That's awesome, I need one! I'm sure it will be useful in my chocolate making... somehow.

[@AtomBomb420]

When the one half shot across the room, I about crapped myself, I thought you were going to sand a finger off! Good that you didn't, wouldn't want another injury after your wrist, be safe!

[@quentinlynch]

That handle looks amazing! 👍🏻

[@comradegarrett1202]

Next time you need to sand something like this, I would take a router to a good size piece of scrap wood and cut in a slot the same size as the thing you're sanding plus some thumb holes and then hot glue it into the slot.. Make it the same depth as your final target and just sand until it's flush. This is what we used to do in the metal shop when using the belt sander to finish stainless parts.

[@rebeccamyott7041]

Love the knife. And the channel.!!

[@L0STinNARNIA]

legend goes that the fly is still buzzing around the workshop to this day

[@BillHartCooks.]

"You wanna piece of me Fly!" LOL

[@glass4600]

You should add a thin layer of resin after the handle blank has set. You’ve done it before but I think here it would have gone miles on saving the sprinkles open faced on the handle. It still looks awesome regardless. Kinda reminds me of the same patterns you might find in the early 2000s skating rinks

[@SuperMarksman2010]

I had to show up to support the thumbnail effort 👍

[@isaacgraff8288]

This is awesome.

[@timhvac6869]

Looks awesome

[@woodengamer]

Sweet knife!

[@archer9338]

Thanks man!

[@garthor]

Just a suggestion... you probably already thought of this, but if you wrap the whole thing in blue or white painters tape, before drawing your lines and taking the scales to the drill press and/or bandsaw... it should (a) make your lines way more visible, and (b) protect the surface from scratches in the process.
