    • That's so cool. My address here in south Carolina is #8. Now that I've seen this. I learned some techniques. I might scale it up and make some plaques to hang for the mail carrier. I'll need some resin though. All I have is a couple of gallons of flex coat for repairing fishing rods. Great video Ben

  • i love how precise all your steps are, and how well you problem solve as you go. reminds me a lot of the amazing work Ray Whitby does on his channel. y’all are both resin masters that i believe could make almost anything out of resin. also the 8 with the pencil lines through it on the white square (at 8:00) instantly reminded me of the countdown numbers they put at the start of old timey movies.

    • That would be very interesting. The sizing is extremely important. The white ball is slightly smaller than the other balls, so it follows a different path when sunk. If the sizes are off, it won't work on a table.
