Too bad Redditors all use forums as a replacement for a social life, and therefor always try to lock them down or 'archive' them after a month so nobody can contribute to the pool of knowledge as things develop. The only benefit of that is to drive people to newer threads so those losers who come from Reddit don't all feel so lonely. I'm not making a joke either. It's exactly what happens.
This entire video was an experience from start to finish. It had humor, innovation, inspiration, frustration and tension. And now, I have a sudden urge to try a salt fork.
its so funny, this guy is an actual youtube genius. Like he knows exactly what it takes to make a viral video and you can tell from the compositing, story telling, etc. Like this guy is no novice. Yet he just left us. Its impressive
I think salt chopsticks might be a much better solution since you wouldn't need as much work to make them or to sharpen them since you can just dip it without worrying about the grooves.
I thought the melting idea was cool. But he said melting salt into a mold would require high temperatures. :) But hey, I'm probably hot enough to melt that salt at 800°C, so he could have let me melt the sodium chloride in my hands. Just kidding.
Ohh righ not like people who drone on for like ages to get in a least 30min of free not so fun words on a platform run by robots but anyhow or annyhoo it was quit the intersetsting item
As a stone cutter, I can tell you the issue is that the salt is made of many micro crystals. If you could grow a single salt crystal in some water and get it big enough to be a fork, and use water based cutting tools, you'll shape a new fork easily. Check your area for a local rock and gem or lapidary club.
@@oranjesus49 absolutely. If it's a single large crystal it will be much harder. Of course, it'll dissolve every time you introduce it to water. Search for videos of growing a crystal at home. The principal is the same with salt.
You're right. It's opaque so you can tell it's a bunch of small crystals. If it was one big crystal it'd look smooth and transparent, as long as the outside isn't roughed up
@@oranjesus49 There's a catch here, if you increase the endurance, it means it will provide less salt to the food you are using it for. By making it more durable, you are making it less effective for the purpose you are making it in the first place. Kinda hard to have a balance here, probably the best way would be having a "sharpable" fork, like a pencil, where while it will dissolve, it will also be possible to keep it's format. But also for making it "sharpable" it would have to be at least the same thickness all along. In the end we will have something like a salt skewer.
@@Antykoncepcja997 With enough money put into research and engineering and all that shit, I'm sure it's possible to make one. If not this, then maybe one by crystalizing salt around a steel skeleton of a fork.
I can see the salt fork being a product on the shelves, with the handle not being made of salt but reusable. So when your salt fork disintegrates, you can just replace the top.

This video has tempted me for months. I kept telling myself that i'd watch salt fork later. Later has finally arrived. I took the dive and I'm more than impressed.
The storytelling is crafted to perfection. If only this guy had started doing youtube earlier, then I could have a commercial mass-produced salt fork right now
My guy just *appears* out of nowhere with this absolute revolution of a video. I used 8 and a half minutes of my life watching a guy make and eat with a salt fork, and I regret absolutely nothing. Edit: Damn you guys, thanks for the 1.3k likes! :D
My guy just *appears* out of nowhere with this absolute revolution of a video. I used 8 and a half minutes of my life watching a guy make and eat with a salt fork, and I regret absolutely nothing.
I honestly belive that no one has ever had the question “what if forks were wade of salt?” This video is so outta pocket i love it. You answer all the questions we never had.
The craziest part is that this is the type of content you make when you have like 5 million subs not your first video lol. The editing is truly a masterpiece on its own.
This man joined youtube, made a masterpiece of a video, (probaby for some kind of film class or something) and then left, never to be seen again. 10/10 amazing video.
@Shockkings0714 my guy, taking that much salt at once isn't gonna straight up kill you, yea its not good. But it's fine if it's what happened in the video, and just a one time thing. Like bruh mates it's not that deep
The problem with cutting big crystals of sodium chloride is that its structure always forms at right angles. So it cleaves tremendously easy. I’m impressed you managed to get as far as you did with each attempt! You’d make an excellent stone cutter.
@@spaceecks1793 I gotta be missing some joke here right? Cuz there’s no way you’re actually that dense but I also don’t really get the joke besides you pretending to be aggressively wrong. Maybe it’s just not my style of joke even tho being aggressively wrong does sound kinda funny on paper 🤷♂️
As a professional chef, I have never laughed so hard in my life as watching this. This is like food service shower thoughts. Super good, super funny, super entertaining... you earned a Subscriber!
for this to be his only video, I am amazed on how well he delivered this to us. now im going to go make a salt fork my self, and a spoon for soup. Thank you Ben
A fork is a pretty good idea, but I think it would be worth trying just a single skewer. It's far less fun than a fork but I think it would be easier to make and just as useful in most applications
I think you could have gotten a superior (although admittedly less youtubable) solution if you prepared a saturated salt solution and then simply dipped an existing fork into it repeatedly to give it a thick and hard salt layer, kind of like candle dipping.
@@erictheepic5019 I was also considering that, but I believe the result would have next to no structural integrity (because when the water evaporates, it will leave little pockets of air between the salt crystals)
are you a film major? cuz the quality of this video is so good, and love your humor. Also, I feel like this is the most calm and relaxing experimental youtube video I've ever seen lol
the quality of the video is good but i don't see how you came to that conclusion that he might be a film major it's not that good compared to Gawx Art's cinematography.
If you’re looking to make the salt fork 2.0, perhaps consider making a super saturated solution of salt and CAD modeling a fork with thinned out prongs and scooper but an adequate handle. Then, after the super saturated solution of salt water is made, dip the scooper and prongs into the salt water and wait for it to be fully covered in salt crystals. That way, you just need to remake the salt water solution(waste less salt) and your work is reusable.
I am so happy to be able to watch this absolute masterpiece for free. I am a better person after learning the important life lessons Ben has taught us all today.
This video was, dare I say, fantastic? The production quality, the innovation, the way that you asked a question no one has ever asked before and then took us on the journey to make it real from start to finish! And all from this channels very first video! You truly made a wonderful video
You should make a handle out of normal fork material (plastic, metal, wood maybe?) with an apparatus to attach salt fork heads to. Think a toothbrush with swapable heads. That way you can make salt forks without wasting so much salt on the handle, and you can swap them out when they become worn.
@@alecm2774probably because while eating your mouth likely comes a bit in contact with the head of the fork too, and not just the prongs, and that likely gives some extra salty flavor to it
Salt chopsticks would be great, they could pick up fruits, would wear down less as you use them and would last longer than the prongs on the fork. Overall a pretty interesting idea.
@@bojackhorseman4176they were sucking on the fork, there was very little salt being transferred to the food. Chopsticks would transfer the same amount of salt if they didn’t suck on them.
@@bojackhorseman4176 Did we watch the same video? You think the salt fork in the video properly seasoned the food from stabbing it? How did you miss all the fork sucking shots he crammed into this masterpiece? Also, he literally ate a strawberry with the salt fork in this video!
This video was a absolute masterpiece. Thank you for the journey, and the determination you showed along the way. I hope we all can find our own salt forks, whether they last for a week, or for merely moments, the memories we made with it were what truly mattered.
This video brought back so many memories from my childhood! I used to love watching science experiments on TV. I was always so fascinated by the different ways that scientists could manipulate materials. This video was a great reminder of that sense of wonder. I loved seeing Ben Walker's creative approach to the challenge of creating a fork out of salt. He was really thoughtful about the different factors that would need to be considered. I also appreciated his humor and his willingness to share his failures as well as his successes. This was a really fun and informative video. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in science or just a good laugh.😊
Im so confused. I thought this channel had other videos. I never asked for a video on a salt fork but I'm heavily invested in your content. Please make more.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this guy's commitment. Everything he will ever own will rust away just for this 8 minute and 24 seconds worth of entertainment.
Wax casting would be a viable option. You don’t need to use a graphite crucible; steel is fine, and it won’t leave your salt looking black. I haven’t tried casting molten sodium chloride due to the high melting point, but with other salts, the resulting solid is surprisingly durable and hard. You can buy a table-top furnace for less than $1k, or better yet, use a camping stove and propane. Using cast iron cookware, you can get up to temperature and keep in there within an hour.
For salt fork 2.0 you could make a super saturated solution of salt and water, fill up a food safe silicone mold of a fork and then place the solution in a dehydrator (you can also just leave it out in a warm clean dry spot to let the water evaporate it'll just take longer) idk about the structural integrity you'd probably have to tinker around with the solution, dehydration methods, and molds to get the crystals big and strong enough but you have enough salt dust from this experiment to play around with 🤣 also maybe try a netty pot and a steam if you're still having salty coughs
i believe this guy created such the perfect utensil that going back to normal utensils after salt fork caused such a depressive state that he could only made one good video and no more.
The last metaphor of life was just mind-blowingly hilarious and tear-inducing at the same time. Now the big question: WHY aren't there any more YT videos, Ben? I am ready to be an avid subscriber.
This has to be the best video I have seen this year. The quality, the creativity, the production, everything is just.... wow. This video had something about its quality that I haven't noticed in any video for a LONG time!
Here’s an idea that could allow you to stretch the life of the salt fork: make a handle that isn’t salt but can connect to replaceable salt prongs that you could sort of mass produce. Less work, less chance of failure, and longer lasting.

Make a video let us know.
A fork is a pretty good idea, but I think it would be worth trying just a single skewer. It's far less fun than a fork but I think it would be easier to make and just as useful in most applications
Or the two prong thingy. Almost as easy and almost a fork.
@@ydderynnada two-tined fork?
Omg wait hear me out: a kebab with a salt skewer

Dad:How’s the job search going son?
Me:
I think you could have gotten a superior (although admittedly less youtubable) solution if you prepared a saturated salt solution and then simply dipped an existing fork into it repeatedly to give it a thick and hard salt layer, kind of like candle dipping.
I was thinking similarly, but with a fork-shaped mold.
@@erictheepic5019 I was also considering that, but I believe the result would have next to no structural integrity (because when the water evaporates, it will leave little pockets of air between the salt crystals)
That would be pretty cool too, now I wanna see someone do that.

If you’re looking to make the salt fork 2.0, perhaps consider making a super saturated solution of salt and CAD modeling a fork with thinned out prongs and scooper but an adequate handle. Then, after the super saturated solution of salt water is made, dip the scooper and prongs into the salt water and wait for it to be fully covered in salt crystals. That way, you just need to remake the salt water solution(waste less salt) and your work is reusable.
Now imagine frozen watermelon but in utensil form
Perhaps
Exactly my thought.
That would corrode the machine
@@firstvideos9774 Using those would be one of the experiences of all time

This video was, dare I say, fantastic? The production quality, the innovation, the way that you asked a question no one has ever asked before and then took us on the journey to make it real from start to finish! And all from this channels very first video! You truly made a wonderful video
Glad you liked my video, it took a very long time to edit.
It was absolute
@@Official_RobuxAre you truly the one who made the video?
You should make a handle out of normal fork material (plastic, metal, wood maybe?) with an apparatus to attach salt fork heads to. Think a toothbrush with swapable heads. That way you can make salt forks without wasting so much salt on the handle, and you can swap them out when they become worn.
Lmao i was just thinking the same thing
Better idea, salt toothbrush
Is it a salt fork at that point or a hybrid abomination???
Why not make only the prongs replaceable, less salt used, and the leftover pieces can easily be used in a grinder
@@alecm2774probably because while eating your mouth likely comes a bit in contact with the head of the fork too, and not just the prongs, and that likely gives some extra salty flavor to it
there's something poetic about a utensil that you not only use, but that gets used too. A fork that offers its very existence to enhance your meal
Salt chopsticks would be great, they could pick up fruits, would wear down less as you use them and would last longer than the prongs on the fork. Overall a pretty interesting idea.
But the purpose of the salt cutlery is to salt the food as you're eating it, live on stream. Why would you salt fruit?
@@bojackhorseman4176they were sucking on the fork, there was very little salt being transferred to the food. Chopsticks would transfer the same amount of salt if they didn’t suck on them.
@@bojackhorseman4176 salting fruit is pretty common in Vietnam. It makes the sweetness more pronounced.
@@bojackhorseman4176 Did we watch the same video? You think the salt fork in the video properly seasoned the food from stabbing it? How did you miss all the fork sucking shots he crammed into this masterpiece? Also, he literally ate a strawberry with the salt fork in this video!
@@bojackhorseman4176Salt and fruit is a extremely popular combo throughout the world

This video brought back so many memories from my childhood! I used to love watching science experiments on TV. I was always so fascinated by the different ways that scientists could manipulate materials. This video was a great reminder of that sense of wonder. I loved seeing Ben Walker's creative approach to the challenge of creating a fork out of salt. He was really thoughtful about the different factors that would need to be considered. I also appreciated his humor and his willingness to share his failures as well as his successes. This was a really fun and informative video. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in science or just a good laugh.😊

@@Games-yq9sc Yeah!
Im so confused. I thought this channel had other videos. I never asked for a video on a salt fork but I'm heavily invested in your content. Please make more.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this guy's commitment. Everything he will ever own will rust away just for this 8 minute and 24 seconds worth of entertainment.
Wax casting would be a viable option. You don’t need to use a graphite crucible; steel is fine, and it won’t leave your salt looking black. I haven’t tried casting molten sodium chloride due to the high melting point, but with other salts, the resulting solid is surprisingly durable and hard. You can buy a table-top furnace for less than $1k, or better yet, use a camping stove and propane. Using cast iron cookware, you can get up to temperature and keep in there within an hour.
For salt fork 2.0 you could make a super saturated solution of salt and water, fill up a food safe silicone mold of a fork and then place the solution in a dehydrator (you can also just leave it out in a warm clean dry spot to let the water evaporate it'll just take longer) idk about the structural integrity you'd probably have to tinker around with the solution, dehydration methods, and molds to get the crystals big and strong enough but you have enough salt dust from this experiment to play around with 🤣 also maybe try a netty pot and a steam if you're still having salty coughs
Yeah, this is essentially the suggestion I would have.
One giant fork shaped salt crystal
was about to comment that, you could also just grow a thin layer of salt onto a metal fork
@@podwodnobrody yeah, but then it wouldn't be a salt fork. it'd be a metal fork covered in salt. the people would know.
does salt shrink in a mold?

i believe this guy created such the perfect utensil that going back to normal utensils after salt fork caused such a depressive state that he could only made one good video and no more.
The last metaphor of life was just mind-blowingly hilarious and tear-inducing at the same time. Now the big question: WHY aren't there any more YT videos, Ben? I am ready to be an avid subscriber.
Yo what this dude is gold! How is this the only video he's made!? - Salt fork guy be like " ight mission accomplished, ima head out..."
This has to be the best video I have seen this year. The quality, the creativity, the production, everything is just.... wow. This video had something about its quality that I haven't noticed in any video for a LONG time!
Here’s an idea that could allow you to stretch the life of the salt fork: make a handle that isn’t salt but can connect to replaceable salt prongs that you could sort of mass produce. Less work, less chance of failure, and longer lasting.
He could also just coat the end of a regular fork in a layer of salt that could be replaced.
Dipping a cold fork in molten salt. Wait at what temp does salt melt?
