      I got two cool ideas:
      Fine like a corkscrew mould and make a resin cast in it. Then you brush on a thin layer of resin in one color, after it cure you do another layer with a different color and so on until you have a thick piece you can turn on the late. It should reveal a multicolor corkscrew shape right? Perfect for a corkscrew handle?
      Also, there are these magnetic stir bars used in chemistry. What would happen if you used one of that and just leave it on spinning as the resin cures? 😂 would it create like a goopy tornado?

    Make the handle out of the match sticks. Glue them together and shape them into a C shaped handle for it, something too add a interesting twist on it? Maybe do a wood burn on the match sticks before placing them in the handle, get a nice black and red combo. Just a thought.
    Wow! over 150 likes?! Thank you so much for all the positive comments! Im kind of shocked everyone likes this so much, glad i made the comment XD. Hope Ben gives it a shot and if he does, cant wait to see how it turns out. He does beautiful work, so i expect it will look amazing :).

    Resin a bunch of match sticks together, band saw them into a 'C' shape but make the match sticks stop half way up that way it blends into where the red heads stop on the mug (half match sticks and half clear resin handle)... will make an awesome effect, round off the edges, this will give the handle the same bubble texture you get on the bottom of the mug, and will give a really nice touch on it.

    Three-step suggestion for the match sticks:
    1. Construct a tiny log cabin and paint it
    2. Glue onto a "hilly" brown or black block of resin (dirt) with a thin layer of green on top (meadow)
    3. Fill with clear resin and make a model house egg

    For the handle, you could use the flexible neck from a BBQ lighter. If your wanted to go all out, you could try layering clear and colored resin to make a flame to attach to the end. Then shape the neck+flame into a handle and cover with clear resin before attaching.

    At first when he said he thought the best way to cut all the match heads off was to use a guillotine, I admittedly scoffed to myself. Surely a set of garden snippers would be easier. But the more I thought about it, I realized the guillotine is GENIUS. With 5,000 matches to cut, your hands would have cramped for sure using a hand tool. Great thinking ahead, Ben!

    If you were wanting some type of 'light show', then use "strike anywhere matches".

    You should install a viewing window on the pot and place the camera on the outside of it. Doesn't have to be a large window, just big enough for the lens of the camera to view in. Use a small piece of Lexan and seal that on the inside of the pot. It would be much cheaper than having to replace the cameras every few months lol.

  • @Pollenoverponds

  • @BillDerr
    @BillDerr Год назад

    I think you need to create a conventional handle with the lighter, so leave it open between the lighter and the mug so you can hold it AND leave the top of the lighter open so you can still use the lighter! That would be AWESOME!

    Hey Ben, very cool piece!!!!! I think it needs a handle and the lighter is fabulous idea. It needs to be in the shape of a handle though. Not just flush to the side of the mug. I saw someone else say to make the C shape of the handle out of match sticks and put that on the side. That is an excellent idea as well. You could mix orange on the bottom streaking upward like fire! Very cool!! I really like the new coating instead of polishing...very shiny! You should make another one of these and incorporate orange streaking up from the match sticks. That would look cool!! And what ever you decide on the handle I am sure will be the best decision! Thanks for another great video. Mary-Helen

    If you put notches on part of the rim and in a circle on the base you could make a detachable handle that locks in place. The handle would be a rimmed circular base with arm that juts vertically with little “claws” that would fit withing the notches. Put claws in place and slide base into place and it would “lock” reverse to “unlock”

  • @DeafMaker
    @DeafMaker Год назад +1

    Left over matches, char about a third of them so you get black and white contrast.
    Handle or no handle, definitely with handle but had some spacers so you can get your fingers through. Both colours look good but I think brown or red would look best.
    Finally why didn't you use food safe on the outside cos the rim on the outside is more likely to be in your mouth making contact when drinking.

As for handle or no handle on the mug, maybe use some of the matchsticks since a handle will help to keep you from burning you hand if the coffee is to hot.

    I have a couple ideas. First, matchstick coaster. Second, make the cup again but light the exposed matchheads before sealing it.

    Maybe a handle out of the sticks from the matches. Because i dont like the lighter particularly honestly.

    Hi Ben, cool mug. The lighter takes from the matches. What if you made a handle from the matches which would keep in sink with the mug. Could even make a matches handle from all the little ones. Sorry getting carried away. Have a great weekend.

    Loved the mug without the handle. Great work.
