Thanks for stopping by, If you have time you can check out my new range of Eggs here www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx

[@frankdoss6313]

A fiber optic egg?

[@juliebaker6969]

At least you cought the missing one BEFORE you poured the resin.

[@MrGerhardGrobler]

Great result. Love it. Stars at night.
As I suspected, You cannot see the optic fibers inside the resin. So next time you use black resin, put the cable tie inside the resin. It will not show in the final product.

[@mikksweeney8804]

Another great video. Just out of curiosity where did you get the stamp made?

[@I.am.Sarah.]

@@mikksweeney8804 He probably made it himself 😃

[@ExtinctionEntity07]

This was really cool my friend! I can only imagine what that looked like in person. I think that if you were to cut the wire and add a dimmer to it, you might be able to make less bright at night :)

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate! Yeah 👍

[@RandomBogey]

I’ve been trying to come up with something to do with fiber optics and resin for awhile now and just the other day was wondering how I could incorporate fiber optics into a resin lightbulb mold I have. Kind of a weird coincidence you publish this video now after I’d just been thinking about it. Not sure how much it would apply to this project, but a good way to bundle fiber optics is to use a tube of black heat shrink. It holds them tightly together, instead of a single point like a zip tie where they fray out in every which way when cut, and it makes the bundle more like a rod and a lot easier to cut a nice flat condensed surface for the light to hit. The astrological signs on the black background is a really cool concept, though. Personally, I think I would’ve used either a color changing LED to make the stars change colors or a flickering tea light candle LED to make the stars twinkle. If you wanted to get really crazy, you could bundle the fibers together by sides, put black heat shrink around each individual bundle, cut them all flat, and use heat shrink to attach a color changing LED to each bundle. The black heat shrink would isolate each LED so that the light doesn’t bleed together, then wire all four LEDs together. They’ll all start the same color, and changing at similar rate, but they’ll fall out of sync with each other pretty quick and all four sides would be a different color. Would love to see another fiber optic resin idea

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate, cool idea 👍

[@LostWhits]

Ancient astronomers had vivid imaginations to see what they saw with a couple dots in the sky.
I saw fibre optics used in a cars roof lining for a starry sky effect. I think your take was a pretty decent effort.

[@susancollicott7473]

Pot cam can never be boring! Pot cam is our favorite part! What an amazing idea for a project!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Susan 😊

[@sheldonramlogan8453]

Love how Ben is a genius but still makes oopsies! Turned out great.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 😊

[@TheConwoman3]

Wow! Never would of thought of making constellations Brillant!
I really love this one.💖💖

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Connie 😊

[@susanheston4483]

The night light is beautiful! Great idea to use your families Zodiac signs. You think up the best projects. Thanks Ben

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Susan 😊

[@aveleziii]

that was incredible. the depth of color in the light, then the brightness in the dark. very cool build

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@scottdunbar4898]

What a beautiful labor of love.
Thanks for the video.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Scott

[@lisamaries5677]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Just wow!!! What a creative idea!! 👌

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Lisa 😊

[@lechatbotte.]

That’s so cool. I’m amazed at your skill. It came out beautifully.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@manamsetty2664]

It's really cool in the dark

[@raywaltersjr.2146]

Well, Ben , once again this is awesome bud. You have a coolest ideas very creative. Good job.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@mjdthemaker7574]

Turned out great!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@stevietimmerman6920]

That is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

[@lynnebabb5349]

Awesome, Ben!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Lynne 😊

[@KalijahAnderson]

I ove how in these videos when it gets to the sanding part, everyone becomes the Flash. :P

[@LinaScott]

Turned out really good.
In the past I had to mushroom the fibre optic ends for better visual, but that was 20+ years ago when LEDs were not as bright as they are now. 😊

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Lina 😊👍

[@robewalk2]

As the project took shape Ben I wasn't sure how it would turn out since I have no experience with optic fibers except for a Christmas tree we had that used optic fibers to light it up. The night light was a great idea and came out smashing. Well done Ben!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Bob 😊

[@dd4850]

Such an amazing use for optical fibres

[@leisongivangomo5656]

Oh WOW! The possibilities are endless! Please do more with fiber optics!!!!!!!!

[@gemini1005]

This is pretty amazing.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@gemini1005]

@@BensWorx no problem man :-)

[@RebekkaRN1962]

Wow! Such a beautiful 😍 project!

[@Andoryuuu]

I'd love to see you make a Borg Cube from Star Trek in this style, probably wouldn't be too easy and would take a lot more fibre optics than this one, but I think it would look amazing.

[@Armouredkitty89]

This. Please this

[@darknesssword2358]

Wow, super amazing job. Love it.👏👏👏👏👏❤️💯👏👏👏

[@Brimannn1]

This would look cool on a giant sphere!

[@mickalixe]

J'adore l'idée, bravo

[@staceysarian7444]

Wow that looks great

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Stacey 😊

[@krosmanfamily]

Amazing Ben!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@Ella4001]

Just a Thought!!! WHAT IF you made it a SPHERE!!!!! With a LED base for a sphere! It will give it a 3D effect! Or do a globe like when youo see a satalite photo at night and see the continent lights!!! PLEASE TRY THE CHALLENGE. PS Love your work and channel

[@SunInOz_Menagerie]

While I don’t really go for the star sign… what a great project! Also really enjoyed the old music back in your video. It’s like coming home. Thanks Ben.

[@shevapendragon3281]

That is so beautiful.

Thankyou! Both Nicole and I 😊

[@paulsheffield4729]

That was totally GENIUS my Friend. I think it's Safe to say after watching so many of your masterpieces that you are highly intelligent and extremely creative.

Thanks Mate

[@amandaabdi4474]

Amazing video, Ben!

[@alisonmary1443]

So different, fabby idea. I really like how the purple mica swirled around the fibers. I couldn't see if the weird cool face stayed. I absolutely love fiber optic, good one 👍⭐

[@margeryk000]

That looks really nice.

[@mattperry4138]

So cool! Liked the new song at the end too.

[@nhayler76]

Brilliant idea Ben 👍🏻

[@piggiesparadise1991]

Ben, your a very talented man xx

[@newbiegamelover4767]

I actually didn't see that fiber that avoided the zip tie! XD
Also, I've always loved optic fibers! I've got three Christmas trees with them, and even a flower display that contains them, too!

[@DrFeelGoood]

you are definitely one of the most creative creators in the resin department. Amazing job, so beautiful. I haven't dabbled in resin much, but I think this might be a contender for a first project... sadly I do not have the tools for woodworking so ill have to improvise the base.

[@cherryshrimp2359]

Really really beautiful. 💜

[@gianluigimarino8264]

It's a great job Ben. 🤩

[@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589]

MATE, you glued the fibre optics OVER THE BLACK DOTS, clever!

[@skylastudioz]

Amazing, absolutely gorgeous.
Love the music at the end, I recognize it from your videos before and it fits this project beautifully.

I’ve really wanted to try making a night light by casting EL wire (a bit like fibre obtics but the entire thing glows). Might have to try it now after seeing this!

[@pmedic523]

Holy. Freaking. Crap. That was INCREDIBLE!!! I'm not big into astrology but that would be really cool to make for someone with regular constellations like Orion, The big dipper, little dipper, etc. This is something I really want to try now...

You did ask politely to subscribe, so that's what I'm doing right now and happily so!

I'll bet you could make a planetarium with that idea to light up a ceiling in a bedroom, or living room even!

Me too! 😊

[@claireking9246]

This is brilliant 👏

[@hikariizuki1693]

I think if you make the cube with mostly see through color like purple or blue, then add black to that it could look better even when the LED is off. And when it is on, you can see the line of light forming going from the base towards the constellation.
With this you can maybe form the lines so it looks like tree or something else

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

Best work so far

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@rustywrx]

That came out awesome! Nice work :D
If you put a zippie tie around the cable inside the base, it'll prevent it from pulling out and messing up the led :)

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 👍
