Woodturning Pasta into a Lamp - Will it Work ?

[@BensWorx]

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

[@juliebaker6969]

It should work FINE, pasta only gets soft because of the WATER it absorbs, I DOUBT it will absorb the resin which has much larger molecules than water does. And without the WATER , the MOST excess heat will do is BURN the pasta and make it turn brown or black.....but I doubt it will get HOT enough to do THAT even. Edit at the end: Looks good, but I would have added a LOT more pasta flowers. I'd have put them wall to wall so they were touching each other. Just MY opinion.🤷

[@BubaLabinski223]

Hell I don’t know Ben you’re the professional

[@dionahammond7338]

Please make a bunch of marble size resin balls of different colors, feel a cup with them cover with base color resin like black or white maybe some glow in dark? Turn it into a light bulb (or discoball) shape lamp? That way the light will charge the "glow power" so that even once the light is turned off the lamp will still glow for a while! Please test some of these ideas

[@vinceiacovello6964]

What do you do when the light bulb reaches end of life. It is not replaceable.

[@bmurch1700]

I can’t find the pasta at coles

[@StrandedLifeform]

Ben, you're probably the only person in the world to look at a bag of pasta and say "I can make a lamp out of that." Turned out beautiful. 💖

[@maniacalmike5786]

Definitely one of my favorites. Love how the yellow ones makes me think of lemon slices.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mike, yeah it’s giving a citrus feel

[@disturbedpyro4511]

WOW! They look like little gears! Doing the same technique but with metallic colors would make for a really cool steampunk look!😁

[@ultrawow65]

Amazing! it now opens the door to experiment more with different shaped pastas!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@mightymax421]

I love that it looks like lemons. Cool summertime lamp vibes

[@johannaverplank4858]

That turned out beautifully! You always have such interesting projects on your channel. Thank you!!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Johanna

[@rewnee4106]

Ben is probably the only few youtubers i wode watch for days and not get tired. I showed some things that you made to my dad and he liked them. Keep doing what you do.♡❤

[@1954JDR]

Ben, it is absolutely beautiful. These lamps should be best sellers.

[@wannabeanimator1997]

This is one of the most creative things you've ever done!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@freethebirds3578]

I'm surprised your channel isn't named Ben's Worx of Art, because you are truly dedicated to your art. Another beautiful creation!

[@dragonrage3398]

I love your “outside the box” projects. So unique. Great job.

[@thrilleex]

Yes, but can you Chocolathe?

[@Tazerboy_10]

🤔 - What?

[@shortvidz9576]

Bro we all know how that would turn out

[@thrilleex]

@@shortvidz9576 like my sex life, I don't care about results, I just want to see it happening.

[@Windex451]

I'm not sure what this means but the few ideas I've come up with as possible meanings could be cool.

[@veneraberens2547]

🤣😂😆💯WHAT KIND WE TALKING ABOUT AND DOES IT HAVE NUTS🤣😂😆💯🤙🏻

[@samanthadean1083]

Looks a treat, Ben!!! The pasta almost looks like you’ve outlined in gold paint!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

I am going to predict that nothing will happen to the pasta except possibly get scorched. It's not the heat that softens it, it's the water and resin has no water. Let's see what happens! Edit: Yep. Just as I thought. Absolutely gorgeous effect.

[@lissanne9769]

Oh, Ben this pasta lamp is gorgeous. I love the transparency in the colored pasta with the light on. Thanks for showing your process.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@lissanne9769]

@@BensWorx Your very welcome, Ben.

[@mrfeesh331]

always a delight when I see your videos pop up in my recommended

[@dustimus8177]

The way the resin looks in the pasta it gives me real citrus vibes, making one look like a bunch of orange or lemons slices with some kind of tropical blue or something could really give a beach drink vibe.

[@alexhill2029]

Love this lamp! Super cool! If you ever decided to go back and do another one, I think you should do multiple random different colors in the wheels, and have a lot of them side by side. I think if you do that it will have a cool art-deco beehive look! Love your content, and I cant wait for the next video 😁

[@kimwallace1170]

Bringing back memories of making pasta art in prep with glue and gold spray paint! 😂 You have taken it to a new level! 🍝

[@mel.e2675]

The lamp is neat! I like seeing the ridges of the macaroni when the light is on. Great idea 💡 and great result!! ❤️

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mel, yeah the ridges look cool 😊

[@Keshlynne]

My boys and I love watching these experimental projects you do! You keep their attention, and you keep me entertained! Thank you for just being you!

[@frankierzucekjr]

This is sooo cool man. You can spray paint them first too. Or spray paint the yellow, or gold, or green, etc. But they would look really cool as citric fruit slices too. This came out awesome. They're so many things you can do with this.

[@mzbeth8238]

That is really cool, it’s somehow futuristic and retro at the same time.

[@iamonlyme9514]

I really like how the green and white turned out and enjoyed seeing the sides of the pasta looking like cogs, just gives it more dimension 😁

[@DirewolfNymaera]

My husband got me one of your eggs for my birthday. It's beautiful. Thank you Ben!

[@MorriAelthyn]

Okay, this turned out AMAZING! The pasta wheels look almost like brass gears. A little different color scheme with the resin and it would be the perfect steampunk lamp 😍😍😍

[@pamib29]

Wow! You’re soo talented Ben! Every week something different that nobody else has tried! 🎉The pasta looks like metal cogs! I think I’ll go & binge watch some more even though it’s past my bedtime 🥱 ❤

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Pamela 😊

[@konoikurozora5851]

Oh this one is even prettier than the previous one! I didn't expect that

This is as cute as can be!!! Good job!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@tracybowling1156]

That Nicole! Always being a BFF! It's nice to be married to your best friend, huh? 🥰 This was an excellent idea. I love how the pasta looks golden. It doesn't even really look like pasta. To me it looks almost like metal. I'm so sorry it took so long to watch this episode. We had a big hurricane. Despite that, not too much damage. But we have no power until further notice. 😢 Having your videos makes me happy during these times, Ben. I do hope you realize that! You, Nicole, and your family, are so great! Say hi to them for me. ☺️

[@masonl87]

That turned out to be DELIGHTFUL!

[@rustysmommy50]

You are definitely the king of cool ideas!!

[@TheDellaniOakes]

Wow, super fun! If I didn't know it was pasta, I wouldn't know it was pasta. Very cool.

[@cherryshrimp2359]

You are totally correct it is amazing. Looks like the colours are outlined with gold.💜

[@DancingHorseFarm1]

You have such patience to fill all those wheels with different colors. Beautiful!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@susanheston4483]

Oh wow! That's looks great, they look like little hard candies. It beautiful lit up.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Susan 😊

[@captaindeadpool6379]

Absolutely Amazing mate. Love the colours especially the yellow and green ones, they look like Lemon and Lime Slices. Keep up the good work buddy. 👍👍

[@SAOS451316]

Pasta you buy in a store is hard because it's dehydrated to stay fresh a lot longer. Resin is indeed not water and too viscous to get in between the pasta molecules. Also if you heat pasta with no water it will burn but you can soften pasta with water without extra heat. It's a pretty little lamp!

[@lechatbotte.]

Wow stellar job. Absolutely beautiful Ben.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@christieintexas]

It *turned* out beautifully. Great job Forgot to add, it has a beautiful floral stained glass feel. 🌼

[@jajahgadis]

Great job mate, would love to see a lamp completely covered with pasta flowers.

[@hillarysharbaugh8426]

Another BEAUTIFUL lamp, Ben!! 😃 Great job as usual!! 😃

It's amazing how much the pasta resembles brass in the finished piece.

Thankyou

[@kimkimba1131]

That turned out cute! Well done

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Kim

[@nataliecarrington2550]

My prediction: The dry resin inside the pasta will help the pasta keep its shape; as the resin cures around the pasta it'll dry out again and have a little bit more translucency to it which will help add to the "stained glass" effect :)

[@aprilrichards762]

Exactly. If you didn't know it made with pasta wheels, you'd think it was plastic or metal wheels used.

[@debrajol3585]

Sooo groovylicious!! They look like hippie flowers to me😻. AMAZING! I thought they would hang on bc of the 2 part epoxy ..but I did kinda wonder! These wagon wheels could be spray painted before adding resin colors for many different variations. Like black wheels with white petals and any other imaginable colors. This is a great idea!!! I can see many resin artists headed to buy them 👌💯💯. Thank you for sharing this!

[@SamTheBattleshipp]

That is so cool! The pasta gives me a cowboy style wagon wheel feeling; like a bunch of old wagon wheels floating in a lake. I love it! Very creative use of common ingredients to make an extraordinary and uncommon lamp. Great work! Thank you for sharing it with us! Now to apologize because it would be im-pasta-ble for me not to leave a comment with out a cheesy pun.

[@kimsmart4633]

If you male another one, I'd suggest staying with light colors for the flowers & maybe adding a touch of metallic to them. I also think it would look great to add multicolored glitter to the resin for the light. I think that would look super.
