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

I have the same bandaids

Truly the best unhinged make 😍😆

This is so amazing 💜

Your face is magnificent.

I kept meaning to get myself a gold thimble, to commemorate 50 years of sewing, but I didn’t, and now it’s been 65 years….maybe I should give this a go! I took an elective class in college, when they still had the Program in Artisanry, which included silver casting, so this brought me back!

This was so cool! Need to find a makers’ space like that in my area!

can’t believe I only just found your channel!!! been looking for a queer sewing channel like yours for ages!!!

Hi! This is amazing content. I am looking for part 2, is it here and I am not seeing it

you seem so much more comfortable now!! i loved seeing this project :)

Yay! What a fun project!!

this was so much fun, so glad you are back, I missed your videos. Also love kitty cat so cute.

Hello! Nice to see you and the cats again! Your fabric is beautiful! I must admit I was skeptical about the plans, but the binding really brought it all together. The blotchiness can happen when it's not stirred enough, which makes the heat hit some parts of the fabric more than others, but it can also happen when you put dry material into the pot. In dye class in college we always soaked things in water first (sometimes overnight for wools) because then the dye will soak into the fibres much more quickly. If it all goes in as a big dry wad then there will be air pockets where the dye liquid takes a while to soak in, and the parts that hit the dye first will have a head start so they'll turn out darker. This one still looks pretty even to me though!

Love all this! I just got a small table/lap loom and am very excited about weaving. This is great inspiration for how to use what I make 🤔

I LOVE how enthusiastic you are about the loom! 💜 This project has excellent cozy chaos vibes.

Hello! You have been missed and so glad to see you back! Beautiful weaving. You are a natural and have a great eye. Thanks for another interesting video.

Oh wow, thats quite the new hobby! 💜

こんにちは。素晴らしいです。あなたのビデオはとても素敵です😍

Woot! That fabric is soo awesome! Very fun cozy vest! Glad to see you! ❤ And the Big Boi is epic! I recently had my iron go out, but it was just a bad bit of the wire at a connection point. My dad is electrically savvy and clipped & redid the wire connection for me! We were also ready for it to be a thermal fuse after that was something he had to replace in their rice cooker. Hope yours can be revived too!

I’ve always wanted to check out that maker space! Happy to have randomly stumbled on your videos. Looking forward to your future makes!!
