Thanks for stopping by, If you have time you can check out my new range of Eggs here www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx
I recently gave two of your Eggs as gifts. They are just as beautiful in person! I was super impressed at how quickly they shipped as well. A great review will be forthcoming.
Everyone of those projects are brilliant, what makes them really stand out is the finishing, on the lathe, polishing and you have the most unusual and interesting work. That was a good video, Thank you 👍
Thanks Alison 😊
Hi Ben! I love watching the pot-cam it’s so interesting & seeing the reaction to different materials! I actually had the Gob Stopper as my screensaver on my phone, I showed loads of people everyone thought it was a rock formation of some kind! (I’ve got them to subscribe to your channel) 🙂 I now have the Rubik’s cube one as my screen saver! Can’t wait till your next video! ♥️
Thanks Pamela, that’s awesome!! 😊
Nice video, Ben! All five are real masterpieces! I want to try this myself but I have a few questions. First, when do you use vacuum and when do you use pressure? Vacuum removes the air bubbles and pressure just compresses them? Why do you seem to prefer pressure? Thanks!
I would be interested to see just what kind of temperatures that resin is getting up to. How about casting a thermometer in resin? Could be fun.
It was really cool how the marshmallows turned out looking like a mushroom cloud. My favourite wasn't on your list, but was the Enterprise in a bottle, with the crack that ended up looking like it was intentional
I think you should try the crayon one with bigger chunks of crayons. Like, dice them :)
These were all amazing! But my fav was number 5, it looked like a nuke went off!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
FIVE STARS,,, thanks for posting :)
Love the pot cam. The sheer amount of heat produced by the exothermic reaction of mass castings is impressive (and a bit scary).
I always lovd PotCam. Do U Still Hav Da Marshmallows And Da Jawbreaker If So Can I get Dem STAY SAFE AND STAY BLESSED YALL 1 Lov
Ben!!!!! #2 is actually my #1, of course! It's my most beloved treasure! ☺️It's still as beautiful today as in that excellent video! You are such an amazing artist! My most favorite artist!
Is there any chance you could try making resin dice? Even if it's just a d20 and d6.
Awesome Video Ben worx hope you Nicole and your son Jake are well
Thanks Richard 😊
I'd be interested in seeing if you could get some cool optical effects by adding small amounts of powdered mica, rutile, or even ordinary glitter flakes to resin, then applying a slight constant twisting force while it sets. For example, if there was a flat plate touching the top surface of resin in a container, and something was gently twisting that relative to the container. The result I'd expect would be that the flat plates of the powdered mica or glitter flakes, or the needles of rutile, would be aligned with the twist direction. After the resin was polished up, there would be internal reflection or refraction of directional light, as one gets with semi-precious stones such as tiger-eye and minerals which show asterism.
I think my fav was the kid in the mine. I don't remember what color glitter you used to make a part look like an ore vein. But it came out gold. Was almost too perfect an accident. Curious as to what made it change. The heat or refraction from being in the resin.
I wonder Ben, does the increase in pressure just reduce the size of the micro-bubbles in the resin? And does this mean when it cures there's a natural pressure throughout when it's out of the pot? How much does having those tiny bubbles in the fluid effect its clarity?
I love this compilation, Ben! Hearing your take on pot cam is always fun and this was also a fun one for me because I got to see some projects I don’t remember seeing the video of before.
How come the plastic containers don't melt if the resin gets so hot? Have you had an epic fail with your containers? What about the toys inside your creations....have they ever melted? My favorite was the leftover resin ribbons.
🤔
Some plastic will. But some plastics can tolerate heat.
The melting point of those containers is way higher than the temps the resin reaches. It won't even melt the little plastic 3oz bathroom cups unless you start with resin that was already heated before it was mixed (don't ask how I know).
I can’t help but think that a man with an amazing brain, fantasy and artistic skills is so sexy! I have never looked at men for their muscles or body or face, because that changes so much over time, but someone that you can bounce ideas off, fantasize with, learn from, have fun with…that’s the things good relationship are made of! Ben, you have a brilliant mind, and I hope you have that special one in your life that appreciates it!
Thankyou! I certainly do
Hi Ben, I love your channel!
Thankyou 😊
Always love seeing the top projects - great potcam top 5!
Thanks Linda 😊
Love me some great Potcam footage! Good memories of great projects. 💖💖💖💖
Thanks Connie 😊
Per usual, this is an awesome video! I love your content and always watch your videos right when they come out. Keep up the amazing content Ben!
Thanks George 😊
You're welcome!
There is going to be some disappointed people searching pot and cam. Lmao.
😂
The movement of the resin while curing got me curious. 🧐 What about doing a layered pour. With each layer only being maybe 2cm, and you drop 3 or 4 drops of colour in each layer and let the natural motion of each hardening resin layer swirl the colour itself?
Yeah that would be cool
My lovely wife got me one of your dragon eggs for Christmas last year because of how much I watch this channel. It's beautiful. I love how it plays with light. It's my favorite thing on my favorite things shelf. 😁
Thankyou! I really appreciate your support 😊
Was this recorded on a GoPro? And did the pressure damage the camera at all?
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and this summary was especially good. Thanks, Ben!
Hope you're feeling better Ben!!!!
Thanks Maurice, I’m nearly fully recovered 😊
Those were all great! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mel 😊
It is all wonderful work, Ben. I wait for each video each week and enjoy your work very much. #2 is my favorite though. Beautiful.
Great walk down potcam memory lane!
Thanks Margaret 😊
Awesome content as usual! Question. Are the POTCAM graphics built into the camera, or do you add those in post?
That was cool when it comes to the marshmallows turning into a mushroom cloud ☁️. Be back to comment on the rest. FROM: Mary Kimble
So which would work best for resin casting, a pressure pot or a vacuum chamber? Or does the resin have to have oxygen to cure? I've never done casting before and I'm curious. And, if you coated the tie fighter in resin first and allowed it to air cure would it still warp from the heat of casting it? Sorry about all the questions. Thanks!
Hey Ben, are you familiar with the toys called "Mini Brands"? I have a whole heap of them and was thinking about casting them in resin and trying to make something out of it, but I'm worried I would ruin them. I was wondering if you'd be able to do a similar project at some point in the future? Anyways, keep up with the great content :)
I liked the Marshmallow one! It turned into a volcano! My brain immediately wondered if you did that one again? If you used a stick with a thin disk about the diameter of the marshmallow to act like a "catch" or maybe even a couple to sort of create a "billowing" effect. Maybe colored resin discs to create the illusion of fire or black smoke...
My brain sees that (if it worked) as an awesome egg, or perhaps even light! Maybe glue some glass fibers up the center post to each disk to light them up...
I love all these projects, especially #2. I couldn't tell what it was you made from it, but I loved the shape.
Really enjoy your art work, you are one of the few that I hit the notification bell to be notified when you post a new video. I’d really like to see your version of the arkenstone from the Hobbit sometime
Quite appropriate the marshmallows look like a nuclear explosion when you consider they are made from death, corn syrup and sugar
I 100% remember the first potcam it was so awesome to see what happens!! I was bummed the "wings" melted a bit but I still feel it was a 100% success, so amazing!
Cool!!, i always had asked me what happened inside 😁, thanks for showing it 👍🏽😊
I've seen Potcam many, many times, Ben, and it's always interesting to see what happens especially due to the temperature and/or pressure inside.
Bill
It was cool seeing some highlights from older videos. I think that first potcam was one of the first times you used that sphere tool after you messed your wrist up making too many spheres freehand wasn't it?
One of the best potcam videos I have seen. What do you use for the camera in there? I would have expected a gopro or similar, but did not expect them to handle 3-4 atmospheres repeatedly.
At 2:11 the marshmallows looked like a mushroom cloud. Amazing
Well that was wonderfully relaxing, thanks Ben.
I love pot cam! My fav ever was the giant gob stopper! That was not only cool to watch it looked amazing at the end. I expected it to melt but the burn made it look like marshmallow!
They really don't make Tie fighters like they used to, that one warped. 😆👍
I've always wondered why people who work in resin don't put a sort of resin cap on the top of what will be the blank. I feel like it would be a good way to keep everything from getting out, just in case.
Hey ben your channel is really interesting I was wondering... Have you ever considered trying to create a recurve bow out of resin? or Any bow for that matter?
I'm still curious about how you set up the pot cam? What are you using for a camera? How does it hold up to the pressure? I assume it records to an SD card and you pull the footage from there. But could you please walk us through th whole set up?
with the tie fighter, i remember the episode where the acryl rod explode
i wonder, when you put several rods side by side and let it cure, what effect that could be
i imagine some sort of lightning strokes
or maybe something total unexpected :D
That marshmellow one looks like a mushroom cloud from an atom bomb! Anybody got the episode for that one? Would have looked great if he turned it on the lathe and polished it.
All of those are really cool! It's really interesting watch what happens as each cures. I think my favorite is the crayon light. I really love that one!
I watched this while my current project is in the pot and will link to it in my video!
FYI: Pot in Hebrew is Vagina? It gives the potcam a whole new meaning…
What video has the original iridescent blue and purple resin? The colors in the scrap project are gorgeous!
I would have loved to see the Star Trek Enterprise again, getting hit by the warp rift in Resin
Awesome video really enjoyed watching so many of the pot cam videos
Great Pot cam footage and it got me thinking can your form a whirlpool in resins and keep it till it hardens like by spinning the resin in a mould really fast and the other idea was could you freeze resin whilst it's liquid and then would it set.
This was fun and brought back some great memories. Thanks Ben! 💕
Thanks Tami 😊
Does all the resin get warm? Love what your doing Ben! 😁🐾🤓
Brilliant video mate the piece’s are fabulous
The Marshmallows almost looks like Nuclear Mushroom Cloud .
Don't most people use a vacuum rather than high pressure? Why have you chosen to use high pressure vs low?
10:09 looks like it’s flying in spaces and the stars are moving. Cool!
Where can we buy these that you make they are beautiful Ben 😍 🤩 👌 ❤️ xx
Hey mate, for your vacuum pot, I see your link for the pot, but what pump do you use?
loved seeing these again, the crayons made me think you could do fruity cereal in resin as an experiment
I was hoping for more of the color to come out of the jaw breaker but wow it melting like that I had not expected.
4:29 do that again but this time either mix it in its own central column that you remove before pressure potting, or put it all in before pouring the resin and just leave it how it end up with no stiring.
The marshmallow one looked like a nuclear explosion. 🤣
Pretty cool ben! thank you for sharing!
What would happen if you went the other way? Let it cure under a vacuum instead.
I love the second one, that color combo is one of my favorites and it was so sparkly!
I've been wondering about this!
I remember all of these.... and enjoyed the re-watch!
loved it , i just started woodturning you gave me ideas my head is spinning
This was brilliant and really interesting- thanks Ben ❣
I like the ones like this
Thankyou 😊
I always new nuclear bombs were made from marshmallow.
Always fun to watch. Love it ❤️
That was a great review of pot-cam videos and they were all so cool to watch like that.
What is the tall thing in the pot of the right with blue in the middle of it???
Wow! Your such an amazing artist!!!
Does the vacuum chamber do the same thing?
I am really think of this nw and try to check in youtube
Hey Ben
Great choices to showcase.
Take care🙂
Thoroughly enjoyed as always, your creativity knows no bounds, I just wish I was so talented- well done 👍🏼🦆💕
Thanks Pam 😊
Loved seeing these projects again 😍
That is some of my top favorite moments from your videos
Why do some people use vacuum chambers?
I did enjoy this episode, thank you. 😊
You've done coffee beans. Do a mug of Milo
This was a cool episode. It was like walking down memory lane. I completely forgot about the marshmallow one I got to relive the moment all over again.
Thanks Aaron 😊
I see we are scraping the bottom of the pot. :))
O.O looks like a mushroom cloud! Omg!
These are so fascinating to watch. The marshmallow did exactly what I expected but the others were all amazing surprises.
Thanks Mate
