Wow! I really like the blue! You are correct about the “S’s” and adding character! I think you should put a year on your stamp! That way when people find your pieces at antique shops or even in their family members’ house in 50 years, they’ll know which year to look at to find the video!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Rachel, good idea 👍

[@nicholas87541]

This was a neat project to watch you make! I agree that leaving the word Souls as is looks good and adds character. Also like the blue for the letters!

[@listentotheanimalscreamsha1511]

It's beautiful and the glitter and gloss makes it stand out. Lovely

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou :)

[@lilmissd4ffy]

The blue glitter was a nice touch! Looks like blue opal or mother of pearl, and it complements the color of the wood very well. Excellent job!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou :)

[@ellishansen8115]

Nice job and the clear coats brought out the lettering. I love the products from solar color dust and glitter hippo. You can't go wrong with them!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Ellis

[@thomasdepoorter1240]

Great video, especially love how you demonstrate how to carve writing without a CNC machine

[@susanjoynersnodgrass9766]

Beautifully made sign Ben!! Love the color glitter you chose!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Susan

Very nice!! I like the blue in contrast to the wood.

It looks great!
Had a old gumtree cut down today and now I know what to do with the pieces

[@fullsavage2743]

That came out great!

Thankyou

[@Pollenoverponds]

I love the blue glitter. It’s always weird to see you work with a wood that’s not burl!

[@markwhite6018]

Great piece after the 3 layers of resin you can't hardly tell what happened

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mark 👍

[@dhd8850]

Absolutely love this, gonna have to try and do a house number sign 🤞 Really cool Ben

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great ideal of a sign

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@ericromano4028]

Covering it in that resin almost makes it look like the wood is deep under a thick window, really nice effect.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Eric

[@DeadriseWoodCrafts]

Came out great

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@dhd8850]

This is fantastic 👌🎉❤

[@tompuskar4426]

I like the blue glitter--really looks nice. I think I'd skip the planer step for another reason. The epoxy resin probably wreck havoc on the cutters.

[@BensWorx]

👍

[@crankbuddy]

Nice work Ben, a CNC would be great for this job.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@KP-nx8lo]

This be a great sign for a shoe store! Lol 😂 what’s the best way to dispose of unused resin and hardener? It’s gotten really yellow and froze then thawed cuz we had a frozen pipe and it was next to it?

[@BensWorx]

Lol that would be cool! I would mix it together and once hard dispose of it with your waste or maybe use it as a weight in your shop

[@TheSassy]

Nice one Ben! 👌Love the Ss they do add character 👍 I like the blue but would like to see it in a red also 🙂

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Sas 👍

[@biltre21]

I have already some epoxy in stock, does the filler resin needs to be something special or can be normal transparent epoxy? Do you think a lacker spray finishing would work?

[@lisapeterson8268]

May I ask what you used for a router? I liked the size.

[@_pb2]

I aspire to route so precisely. Perhaps when I have more than a dremel attachment to work with.

[@TheDwilliams1000]

You didn't use hardener? I've never used resin before and would like to try it on my laser engravings. How long did it take to dry?

[@paulstrange6654]

Nice, what type of wood did you use

[@asosashadow]

With more detailed letters its a good idea to trace them with a blade so the paper doesn't peel away your design.

[@7litres]

Nice!

[@mariestecklow3651]

Ben, have you used Mica Powder for adding color to your resin? Plus where do you purchase your material; resin, colors, epoxy?

[@cosplaymemories1487]

What is the machine called? The one that you used to cut the letters?

[@Plokman040]

Hey Ben, I hope you're well. Any advice for learning how to taper a piece on the lathe? My Wands till now have been hand carved, but the Sith inspired one I am doing will be my first turn of a Wand Blade on a lathe and I want to get it right.

[@BensWorx]

I’m good thanks, I would recommend using a skew chisel, I’m currently working on a wand and will have a video out soon

[@peakabooicu2171]

I am researching to do exactly these types of things/signs in resin and I love the glitter it was perfect choice. The souls word being kinda see through is meant to be when you think about how souls are interpreted in real life😉👌🏼. How much resin do you think you used on this sign in total?..

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate, about 100ml

[@DenAndMug]

We tried using a router once, LOT of mess and no where near as easy as it looks. Nice one! :)

[@BensWorx]

Thanks guys

[@sjck2]

I liked that project - especially your color mix of resin, looks amazing. :) In my opinion would it be great, if you could make your voice louder / music more quiet. Greetings

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@menotu8833]

Awesome as always Mate. Quick one today (that's what she said) 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Ellen, yes it was 👍

[@ellishansen8115]

Hey Ben, how is your pressure pot you made out of PVC holding up? Do you still use it?

[@BensWorx]

Yeah I don’t use it often but it still works great

[@ellishansen8115]

@@BensWorx awesome, I think I'm going to make one. I've got a 5 gallon pressure pot, but it takes so long to fill it with air, not to mention the noise. It's a lot for a small batch of resin. You're the best, thanks for all your videos!!

[@Favila2]

Can I ask what’s router bit you used

[@BensWorx]

3mm straight flute

[@_pb2]

Man you could do beginner's resin workshops, where you supply the materials and do a small project.

[@BensWorx]

If I had more time I would definitely love to teach people

[@_pb2]

@@BensWorx if you ever do, even as a one-off, give me plenty of warning!

[@Foogayzee]

Random question but is that piano song from the original Sims?

[@williamellis8993]

Beautiful sign, Ben. The art resin sort of made the problems with the "souls" disappear. Is this your new shop sign?

[@BensWorx]

Thanks William, nah it was a house warming gift

[@thomasdepoorter1240]

One small question, can I use art Resin for casting?

[@BensWorx]

It is slightly thicker than ArtCast so I’m not sure, it’s best to run a test first

[@thomasdepoorter1240]

@@BensWorx cool, thanks

[@cherishireland9194]

I like it all except the spacing on the words. If you had me do it I would put them a a more even distance to one another, because as a graphic designer the spacing on things matters for ledgability and looks. otherwise I liked the idea a lot. Type is hard I'm sure. I would have loved a varied colour or duotone glitter in there too!

[@marklengal9990]

Hope your doing ok with the wild fires Ben.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mark, we’re doing good, we have just had a few days rain which has helped a lot

[@sapphodesigns2377]

Cause its end grain try running through a drum sander instead

[@BensWorx]

Yeah I need to buy one of those

[@markduggan3451]

If you'd thickened it first it would have been better, still good sign though.
