this is SO FLIPPIN COOL

I'm excited to be rewatching this while counting down the days to my spay!! I'm in the middle of making one of these for myself (slightly different pattern) with vintage wool and rayon sarees (because that's absolutely the best way to get that kind of yardage in beautiful prints/brocades). I hope you've been doing well while you're away from YT.

you're the coolest ❤🌱

This is pretty much the coolest thing I've ever seen 😮

TBF, I literally clicked because I'm queer and I make stuff, lol. That was really good though, I wish they had things like that at the little makerspace we have here! Well done on getting there and making your spare fingertip :p

I love it

I enjoyed watching this so much, and it made me happy. And a beautiful thimble resulted from a talented teacher.

The discussion of mixing the investment as "just vibes" made me laugh. I took a jewelry class years ago, and the professor did, in fact, mix the investment by feel. "Like a cake batter" was the description we were given on the proper consistency. It's also worth noting, we did NOT wait for the flask to cool before dropping it in water. You have to have a heatproof container (we used a metal trash can) but it did make the investment break up really quickly and fall off fairly easily. This is such a fun project, btw! I love the result. I love lost wax casting. I wish I had the time to do it again. Maybe once I'm done with my thesis...

When part of the process is “do it by vibes” I know I’ve found my people 😂 loved watching this!

That's so cool!!! It looks fabulous!! It's a good thing I don't have access to metalworking tools because I really do not need new projects, but oh.. the possibilities... Do you never use the back of the finger to push the needle? I find that the divots on top of where my fingernail is are the ones I use most often.

Sometimes RUclips recommends someone new and it's just the actual bee's actual knees 🤩 thanks for this awesome project! Subscribe ✅

Very cool!

This is magical and a bit creepy and oh so awesome!

I remember doing some enamel work when I was 11 or 12 and I still have the things I made. I have not done anything like it since and after watching your video I'm wondering why I haven't and is there a maker space near me that has the tools and equipment for me to do this again. Not that I need another hobby - I have plenty and a few are ones I'm still not skilled at. I am definitely along for adventures in other crafts. it's good to see other things I could try.

How much for custom orders? A few hundred? 😅😆 Looks really cool 😊

would you be so kind as to unmake it?

This is so cool, great job

you're so underrated what?? I'm so glad youtube recommended me this

Super cool!!! I would love a thimble just like that❤… not enough to do that much work though😂. I rescue vintage sewing machines and accessories from estate sales so have several dozen thimbles in a wide variety of sizes … some do fit me but when I hand sew, I actually hold my needle with the thimble finger and the next finger just isn’t very dexterous ☹️. Someday maybe I will find one that works well for me. A dog ate my favorite leather thimble and I haven’t found another that I like even though I have bought at least 6 different ones. In the meantime, I find keeping a thimble for my clumsy 3rd finger nearby for the really tough spots and a bandaid or two on my thimble finger works fairly well.

The inconvenience of flesh ,man if I had a nickel 😅

why be normal when u can make it weird and vaguely unsettling??? great sentiment and i HEARTILY agree. good work on this video and on the project itself!!! 10/10!!!

I think the best thing you could do to improve your video quality would be to improve the sound! I found your voiceover to be scratchy, unfortunately, so I hope it gets better! Great job!

This was great! I love the thimble! I have a couple of (hopefully) constructive comments, which I hope you don't mind... 1: Promises me that if you ever paint your fingernails you'll also paint the nail on the thimble and take some shots with it... 2: I found the music a little... aaah... annoying... It seriously sounded like I was back in the '90's playing Zelda (I'm old).. :) If you keep the music, it could be softer. Otherwise, try without it and see whether you like the video that way... 3: The rim around the base of the thimble, if you do re-make it, I'd make the edge where the rim connects to the thimble a lot sharper, otherwise you're risking the needle 'jumping' over the rim and still stabbing you, which isn't fun. 4: Leather thimbles are awesome too. They also breathe better if you're using it for a long time, you don't end up with a raisin finger. I've also thought about making a leather-backed-silver-fronted thimble, but TBH I don't really use one much as I've developed really great callouses where the thimble would otherwise be protecting :) 5: If you make another one, and you like the 'painted nail' idea, look into 'oxidised silver', which would look epic having the nail blackened with a really shiny thimble. :) 6: Your comment at the end "If you stayed to the end you don't get a prize". Don't sell yourself short! The 'Prize' was getting to know, step-by-step, how to make a silver thimble! :D I've subbed and look forward to seeing what else you make.

Nice job. I was thinking the divits wouldn't translate deep enough. Burring them made more sense. Have have a feeling you might make another one that's even fancier. Cause finger armor is cool.

It’s amazing!!!!

Like other commenters, i like leather thimbles as well. I have one with a magnet to help catch or hold needles (very handy when using 2 needles), one with a metal *plate* with rings so the needle won't slide everywhere and go though heavy materials, and a few with *flaps* so i can use it to grab needles rather than pliers. I would love to make a silver one though, what an amazing idea!

so cool!!

This was absolutely awesome! I’ve seen lost wax casting a couple of times on Time Team. What a cool skill to experiment with! How awesome for you that you have access to the tools and equipment for the is experiment. Out of curiosity, would you still recommend making the divots in the thimble in the wax even though you had to drill them out later? I'd imagine they were a useful placement guide. The end product is lovely. How cool to have made that!

Your channel name immediately compelled me to subscribe!

Thank you for this video!!!

oh! the quality if video and editing made me think this channel was bigger! really hope this video journey goes well cause it's definitely got the potential to have more of a following. as someone deeply invested into a lot of the maker side of youtube, it seems like this channel could fit right into the niches.

I “destroyed” a metal thimble and Frankenstein it with leather to custom it to my finger. I was proud of it until this video. Now I dream of melted silver and furnace

I'm also Team Leather Thimble. There's several ways to make them, and,the keather could be stained, dyed, even "painted" to match any skin tone. As for what you made, it's fantastic! I would want one, too😀👍 and, I thought Art was about manefesting a Vision, and the freedom to be creative & spend time, effort, and focus on making what one wants. To have fun. For the satisfaction, to make a point, to share a vision to experiment, and so on...

why arent you taking covid precautions?

Omg this neeeeds to go viral this is so cool

So cool!! 💜

....... Okay, i just found you, and now I'm subscribed, binging everything, and liking along the way! This is so cool, I've been wanting to cast things for ages. I wish i could afford our local maker space fees. I think I'm going to have to just shut up and DO it.

Super cool vid. Thimbles never fit me either. Now I need to find a friend with a centrifuge.

this was so absolutely cool to watch!! i adore that you chose to make it look like your actual finger, that's genius!! making weird stuff and being ridiculous is such a great sentiment to have, go forth and be your best most wonderful bizarre self!

Ngl, using a toilet paper roll to hold all the various "goo" when making your finger cast is low key genious

This was incredible!!! It's beautiful and cursed, my favourite combo! Thank you for sharing xxx

i bet the plaster finger would have held up if it had some internal structuring

I prefer leather thimbles so I can feel the needle but like would want this just to display lol

That’s so cool I love it so much!

so glad you're back! I doubt I'll ever attempt this but you're precious and I loved watching your process 🥰

Lost wax casting is so cool! I never would have thought of making a custom thimble, super cool.

That IS magically ridiculous and useful! 🤩💜

Why be normal indeed!

Wow, freaking awesome. I have the same issue with metal thimbles and switched to leather thimbles early in my sewing. But wow, that would be awesome to have a custom silver one! Well done!

the encouragement step is very important :D
