Amazing job again Ben Looks like the real thing glad to see you made it into a shift knob though looks Awesome 😎
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
Yeah. Impressive work. The same. Could not find on Etsy. Does not compute. Lol
Sorry mate it’s already sold
@@jeffcook8501 óooí
"Hey guys, Korg here, we're gonna make an eight ball out of resin, wanna come?"
8 ball in the corner pocket lol when I first glanced at this I thought you were making a magic 8 ball I’m delusional lol. As always Ben a great pour
Thanks Mate
Me too
Now I want to see someone build a magic 8 ball.
I read “make an 8 ball” as magic 8 ball” too. 😂😂😂
I thought the same thing lol
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.
Thankyou 😊
That’s flawless, the sheen from the lighting didn’t even wobble, what a work loved watching the precision 👍
Thanks Alison 😊
You inserting the 8 piece into the hole is literally the most satisfying thing ever
The process you used to create the "8" was ingenious. Came out great!
That was pure genius how you made the 8! Great job!
The creation of the insert blew me away! Fantastic.
Thankyou
Gorgeous work, Ben! It was such a painstaking process, but you absolutely nailed it and should be proud.
I always love seeing how you work out how to do things! It turned out so good!
Wow. I'm impressed 👍👍
Thanks Mate
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
ah when my 2 favorite creators collide
Amazing work Ben! I wasn’t expecting you to pour the 8 like that. I was thinking you’d paint it but you went above and beyond for sure!
Thanks Kara 😊
Phenomenal! 😲 The planning, process and execution was PERFECT! 🤩 You're a legend Ben.
Thanks Julie-Ann 😊
One of my favorite ASMR sounds is you mixing resin at high speed I could listen to it all day
This was a great project. People who create things are awesome. Great work
I never would have thought of using/creating a rounding gig like you have. Brilliant work!
Always amazed at your polishing just beautiful not as easy as people think
All things considered, you did a great job with the eight! Would be cool to see how making a full set of these would react on a pool table though, I'm curious to see how they would work compared to the real thing
Thankyou 👍
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.
I think this is a cool project idea
I don't think they'd roll very well with the flat spot.
@@TKing2724 you can turn it round with out the flat spot it was one of the first things i done when i got my lathe
Wow, Ben! The 8 by itself made my jaw drop. The final shift knob made me shake my head in amazement! You are so precise and get such a shine on your products. Really well done!
Thankyou 😊
This is gonna make a nice shift knob! I'm guessing that is why you drilled a hole all the way through, I haven't watched the whole video yet!
I was thrilled to see that you just posted this! Thought it was a video done awhile back deep in the archives. What an amazing piece of work. I love the approach, thus method certainly makes this ball extremely durable. Extremely satisfying. I really appreciate how you let the viewers get a moment to try to guess the next step or try to solve the possible problems. So cool, you made your own 8 ball. 🎱
Thanks Nick 😊
That is the coolest shift knob ever made!! Hand crafted by the one and only!! How cool!
The final product is absolutely amazing!
As soon as you said you were drilling all the way through, I knew this was going to be a gear shift knob!!! Totally retro!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
This is actually a really cool idea. Taking an existing object and figuring out how to remake it always proves more difficult than you first think, but you learn so much along the way. Awesome job!
Thankyou
Beauty! Fantastic work! Great test of skill and the finished product is spot on!
This project really resineighted with me. Great job Ben.
Wow that is awesome! What a great pour. You are extremely talented! Thanks Ben
Thanks Linda 😊
I am impressed! That was a very complex undertaking, and it turned out perfect.
Thanks Lynn
I wish that I had the talent and the PATIENCE, that Ben has. Great work!!!
This is the most work around way of making an 8 ball shifter and I love it! 👍🏻
The centering technique was bloody brilliant!! Well done, as always!
Thanks Karan 😊
They both turned out amazing… I must admit I think the clear one has my vote. Thank You for doing all the things on this channel I love watching them
Wow! you put a serious shine on that ball! very nice project, that 8 is perfect.
Thankyou
So satisfying when you nudged the waste block ever so slightly as you were gluing it to the black resin! 🙏😁😘
At first, I thought the hole was for an LED... but I love what you did! Nice gear shift, with a nicely centered 8. As a few others have commented, I wonder how these would act as 'real' pool balls...you could make some really cool ones!
that was also my first thought. Could be an awesome looking Nightlight with the glowing white circle and the black eight in it.
That’s a great idea!
Thankyou 😊
I think they'd be too soft and end up denting on some of the harder impacts
Wow! I'm very impressed by your talent. I don't think I could ever have gotten that 8 centered like that. Great job!!
Thankyou
WOW! you are so talented, Ben! I can't get enough of your videos 😍
Great job Ben. Love the way you explain your thought process. 👍👍
Thankyou
The eight is impressive! What a smart way to go about it. With drills ! So smart!!
WOW, Ben that was a lot of fun. The way you explained each step of the process was cool. Watching you create is always amazing. The "8" ball you made is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for a very enjoyable video.
Thankyou
@@BensWorx You're very welcome, Ben
That shine is insane!
As always, you never fail to impress me! Amazing job on the 8, that must've taken ages to get just right. Keep up the great work!
Thankyou
I got excited seeing that sphere jig. Then when that drill went in stationary that was probably the most satisfying thing ever
Wow, so shiny!! I love the problem solving aspect of this video, thank you!
Thankyou
Niiiiice I dig it! I wondered how you'd accomplish the 8, but that was a genius way to get it in there. Well done.
😱 you were nearly through with the ball when I thought to myself he can make that a gear shift knob. And in just a few minutes later you told us that's exactly what you were doing with it. Great minds think alike! Love your videos! Love your talent!
You are a VERY clever man. I love the things that you make. 😊
Definitely one of my favorites you've done!
Genius way of tackling that #8. Nice one mate.
Looks awesome. If I hadn’t just watched you make it, I’d think it was a real one. Very good work
The tech for forming the "8" 👌👏 well done!
I really like how you went through every step with us and the 8 ball was brilliant great turn
Thankyou
Looks amazing. The spherical projects are my favorites. Now make the whole set! 😅
I watched the whole thing and I have to say that you did an amazing job!
Thankyou
What a stunning 8 ball! 🎱 It's absolutely perfect and turned out wonderfully. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all! 🙂
Always amazing watching you create things
Thanks Steven
Fantastic work as always, Ben!!
Thankyou
Nicely done!
Man, I really enjoy watching you make rad things!
Always impressed by how steady your hands are.....I can’t even cut a piece of paper straight! Lol Great job Ben!
Thanks Jason 😊
Nice work! Congratulations!
Wow, that turned out really well!
That's really neat and clean .
Great work Ben. I never would have guessed it would turn out to be a shift knob.
This was so satisfying, good work as always
man i just love your voice, it just gives off a wholesome vibe my G
Cool Ben looks amazing . You’ve done a great job. . You should do a Billiard Set . Then make a triangle place them inside and encapsulate it in a clear resin block .
Thanks Angela 👍
Absolutely stunning!
Thanks Mate 😊
You did a great job making the 8!
You are brilliant, Auch a pretty result
That was an awesome job mate, I love it. I actually have an 8 ball on my gear stick, had it for about 40 years. I drilled & tapped it to fit. Cheers from Oz. 😊👍🏼
It looks amazing!
"...pretty good job..." dude, it looks amazing! Once again, nice work man!
Neat to see the sphere jig, I wondered about how you'd get a perfectly round shape on the lathe.
the pure aussie efficiency of mixing the 5 min epoxy on the service you want to stick *chefs kiss*
Very clever , I like the result and the solutions to your challenges , well done 👍
Thankyou
I can't tell you how many times I say "AMAZING" when I watch your videos !!!!!
Thanks Kathy 😊
he has the most calming voice and I appreciate it at 3 am
The first thing I thought when I saw the drill bit being the way it was I was like this is gonna be a big mess up. But you did a fantastic job been. It looks fantastic centered as if it was done by a machine. Excellent job!
Another fantastic project. Well done 👍
Thankyou 😊
Love the way you made the 8!
That's freaking beautiful and I know nothing about resin or manual transmissions. Great job 👍🏼👌
I really like how that was done, great job. I was wondering where you got the insert piece. Thanks
That is absolutely perfect!
Thankyou
Looks pretty bad ass. Very realistic. Nice job 👍 Ben!!!
Thankyou Monica 😊
Hello from Canada. A fantastic job as usual! I really enjoy your videos, especially the spheres and the eggs!
Thanks Pauline 😊
Beautiful work my friend!!
This was actually really cool. The ol 8 ball shifter will never completely go out of style.
Wow that's so cool! Never would have thought to drill holes to make an 8 that's awesome! So glad I found your channel i really enjoy watching you create incredible things!
Thankyou
It's perfect! Excellent job!
Thankyou
I drilled out an 8 ball for my 84 Toyota Tercel in high school. It looked awesome but was miserably cold in the winter!
Wow that turned out great, good job.
Awesome work, Ben! Almost makes me wish I still had one of my old standard shift vehicles!
Thanks Mate
Oh you genius I love you. This is so clever and creative and well executed, thank you for sharing this brilliant build.
Thankyou
I just love your work....stunning!! 😊
Thanks Traci
INSANE! It came out looking better than an actual pool ball. 🤯
Thankyou
As always, amazing! I would LOVE to see a magic 8 ball, like the ones you ask questions and shake it and look at the answer 😂😂 thatd be awesome
Hi Ben! That was amazing how you did the number 8! I think in fact it’s one of my favourite round projects! I really want a sphere Jig! 😂 Thank you! 🏴
Thanks Pamela 😊
