This video right here just made me a subscriber. It's one thing to always show projects that work, but it takes courage to show those that fail. And even in failure you learn.
hey thanks so much . welcome to the channel
Kitzah same!
Especially* in failure we learn. Agree with the sentiment fully, 'cept I've been a sub for a while. = )
same
Very well said :)
I think you should turn them into a little sign/memorial to put up on your wall to remind you to use mould release!
The Real Mythril 😂🤪
😂😂😂😂612bazillion subscribers with epic fail! 😂😂😂 that's why we love ya man!!
You not being afraid to show us your mistakes is why I like you! Never stop doing that!!
Oh Nick. We've all been there. I really liked the look of them, sorry you had so much trouble. I apprecate showing us the struggles...
Hey thanks for watching Peter . this was a touch project but pleased i showed it . hope you and Mrs Brown are well. take care
I love that torch light coming through the back, it was beautiful. The wires and colours made it look like a galaxy so although it was a failed project it wasn't as bad as you think.
What I love about your videos is that you don't shy away from mistakes and failures, you post them, making your videos legit.
I'm not sure about anyone else but I really like how they turned out if it was me coming up with any ideas for those I would use them as table center piece like the dinning room table or put them on the end tables by the couch. In the end anyone can still have some uses for them no matter if they are failed projects or successful projects.
I really like it when artists & craft makers show their failed projects AND explain WHY they failed. It helps the rest of us artists/crafters to not feel so bad about themselves when we mess up. And by explaining what went wrong &/or what mistakes were made it allows MANY to hopefully learn from one person’s mistake vs all of us having to discover it on our own. But it DOES take a LOT of courage for anyone to put their failures/screw ups on public display! So BRAVO to you for being so courageous & for caring enough to explain the reasons any issues occurred thus helping your viewers avoid ANY mistakes &/or failures you experience❤️ The arts & craft community..as well as the world as a whole.. *need MORE people like YOU!!*💜❤️💜
**FYI…when I say artists who show their “failures” I’m talking about pieces like these where most people would agree that while something totally new & different *might* be salvageable from different parts of the piece(s)…the execution of the original idea was a complete failure with no real way to rework the existing piece(s) to make it work in anyway close to as was originally intended. *NOT* when artists make a piece which works/functions/turns out as originally intended & to most people looks amazing but which the artist claims is a “failure” simply bc they don’t like some minor aspect or it just doesn’t perfectly match the idea they have it their head. **
Just wanted to be clear
I've only been a subscriber for a short while and haven't seen all of your videos. As such, I apologize if you've already tried this or commented on it. Have you ever considered casting something in resin, turning it to finished quality and then casting it again in another shape? Perhaps like an hour glass inside of a sphere or something along those lines. If this hadn't crossed your mind, I hope it sparks some inspiration. Cheers!
I actually love when you explain what went wrong. My daughter in law is learning resin and I send her these so she learns about mixing mistakes,etc. THANK YOU NICK
On the plus side, you have 2 pretty nice looking ornaments or at the least 2 fancy door stops.
Peter O'Connell agreed!
Exotic looking Hodor's...
Mr. Nick, you are adorable. I appreciate this project. You have taught me so much using resin and other mediums. You sir are an inspiration to me and my work. Thank you from the bottom, and top, of my heart. The one lessen I appreciate the most is, don’t give up on any project. Those could be bookends. I know I would set 600 year old wood with resin on my library shelves. That’s a story, and who doesn’t like a story?. Take care and God bless.
Love your work! Also love the spelling mistake in the video. 600 year old bean haha
Maybe that was in reference to the coffee cup....purely coincidence they're both pre-Shakespeare.
You know Nick, this is one of the best videos on youtube, not because the tools you used were fabulous, the finish was something special, or the material different. It the best video because it's what can and does happen. It's great to know that after 50 years of wood working in a variety areas, I am not alone when it comes to failures. Thank you Sir..
I wonder if they could still work as lamps....is it possible to drill a hole all the way down thru it and add a lamp kit to the top...and maybe turn a nice base to set them on...Id love to try it I think they still look great
Yesssss
Good idea.
I agree that you also include failures as well as successes. It helps all of us, it is just too bad it had to cost you so much time and money, but like I said it helps all of us. Thanks Nick, your talent is quite overwhelming, keep it up. We all have failures but that is how we learn and get better.
I must admit this is one of the big reasons I prefer my textile crafts, generally it's easier to fix a wide variety of mistakes with yarn and fabrics. But of course you can make some really amazing things with wood + resin that are completely unique to their medium. I really appreciate your deconstructing and explaining your errors step by step; it's both a brave step on your part as a maker and an excellent teachable moment for us as viewers.
Nick! It's ok! I'm really glad that you put up videos that show the problems. Because when I go to try to do these kinds of things, that's the most VALUABLE thing to me. To learn what mistakes not to make so that my projects come out well. I'm SO grateful to you for that!!!

I went to school with you and your brother and sister ☺ hope you're well!
Jojo Smith small world! We're all well thanks.
WD 40
Close. He was asked why he failed nearly 2,000 times to make the lightbulb. He said he didn't fail. He found 2,000 ways how to not make a lightbulb. And one way to make it work.
I like this video. Not only it shows how much passionate you are about this thing but at the same time it gives us viewers, or at least me, a chance to learn.
I love them. I would put them in my garden and see how the sun looks in them. :) I like odd things.
Thanks for putting this up, Nick! What you just showed us is called - REALITY. And I loved how you tuned the music to your mood, good choice!
You should do streaks of the fluorescent colors in a full resin guitar body, that would be awesome!
Awesome that you are willing to share good and bad. Shows us that you are a mortal too. Thank you!
Thingsdon'talwaysturnoutthewayyouinitiallyintended...that's a long word :-D
I think that it's important for me to see that even experienced crafters can make "rookie" mistakes. It helps me be less frustrated when my projects don't come out exactly as planned. I don't work with wood or resin (yet) but I love watching your videos and hopefully, once we finish building our house and our shop/crafting rooms I can try it out. Keep waffling on because I love your videos!
Which is older, the beam, or the coffee?
the coffee .. lol

Kevin Massey u
Nick, love your videos! Too many youtube makers try to make us believe they never "nacker" a project when, in reality, we all know those videos just never get posted. Thank you for keeping it real and keep that "funky stuff" that you do coming. Cheers!
Slice it like salami and DICE up the resin and make as many playing dice as possible?
That's a really good idea Ethan! I wonder if he will do that...
Ethan Cox lit idea bro
Ethan Cox use a chisel or a drill and dig out the wire... then add a thicker wire on and something to protect the wire then fill the little hole with resin again. If you don't like the shape then change it.... DON'T GIVE UP JUST YET, it can still be awsome. Upload a video on the fixing up. The main point is the lights and wires are still in there snd CAN work.
I don't think the weight would be distributed properly on a die like that.
They'd just be decorative dice.
600 year old BEAN? lol
Very interesting, I appreciate the fact that you show mistakes and recognize that you learn more from failures than you do from successes!
First of all, even the projects you think are “failures” are cool as heck. Secondly, to steal a line from the movie National Treasure, “You know, Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2,000 times to develop the carbonized cotton-thread filament for the incandescent light bulb. And when asked about it, he said "I didn't fail; I found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb," but he only needed one way to make it work.” The next time you’ll do it differently and maybe it will work. I’ll anxiously await your next post....you are in my top 3 RUclips subscriptions. One day I’m going to come to the U.K. and I hope to have a cup of coffee with you.....
Bill Hiney that was a classy thing to say 👍🏽
Thanks for sharing. I can't tell you how much it helps me when I see that other people - especially people that I admire - make mistakes, too. I've got some pretty serious mental health issues and this kind of thing REALLY helps me. So thanks.
Mistakes or not, they will still make a great looking piece!
I appreciate seeing the fails as well. Helps those of us that want to learn the ups and downs of project ideas.
Thank you very much for sharing both sides
I wonder if the lights simply didn’t work because of reversed polarity... if they are LEDs (likely), it could be worth a try. Because now I really want to see how it WOULD have looked. :-P
BTW, hats off to you for sharing this. Way more educational to see what happens when things don’t go as planned. THANK YOU!7
You cannot have perfect projects every single time, but I commend you for even showing the failures that is a signature of a true artist.
Put a note on top of your resin to use release agent.. Also I think they still look cool. Did you try soldering those wires? And are those LEDs? Those connect only one way...
I WAS GETTING SO EXCITED WHEN ALL FELL, THAT IS THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES SOMETIMES...I LOVE LIGHTS
They would make some awesome lamp bases.
I love that you show the failures as well as the good things because nobody has 100% success rate! Learning so much from you, waffle on!
Really cool looking paperweights! Would it work if you bored a 1 1/2 to 2 inch hole from bottom to 2/3s of the way up and then mount an electric light in it. The problem with the lights you were using i think was that they weren't bright enough, something with higher lumens (hey i am getting techy) may give more of the desired effect you were looking for. Very interesting video.
Steve Sammut. Definitely agree with you.
yes, with as much pigment as he said he used ("too much") more, powerful light is needed to shine through it.
I like them. Lol I was watching this on my TV and came here just so I could comment. The idea is 100% and the technique is 100% because anything you try your hardest at and anything you learn along the way makes the effort perfect.
Too late now but drill bigger hole in the bottom wide enough to hold the whole battery box instead of taking the wires out the side. You could feed the string of LEDs up through from the bottom and temporary seal the battery box inside with modelling clay or disconnect and reconnect later. Another tiny point, if you didn't know, LEDs only light with the battery connected the right way round so when you cut them and reconnect them you need to do it the right way round. If it doesn't work one way, try the other way. Love the idea, could have been great.
One little bump in the road won't change who you are. It makes you better. Keep doing what your doing as when I have nothing to watch I will watch as many of your videos I can and you have some interesting stuff
How about drill some 2 inch holes down one side for tea light candles. Would give them a use for lights
I think you are great! You are humble enough to show us your mistakes and that is why I am a subscriber.
Failed project or not, it was interesting to watch. Could still probably turn the larger piece, and maybe the wires will make that look neat.
Going to go through some of the wood I have see if there's any funky pieces I could send you. Fail or not, be cool to see them turn into something else ^-^
I love your enthusiasm even when the project doesn't work out properly. I really liked the lamp idea and if you manage to do that one day I think it will look weirdly groovy in an awesome way.
being how old it is i would've stabilized it first
nick also i think you should totes do something similar to this but in the shape of crystals i think it would look really cool
Fun project and great to see I'm not the only one that has failed projects. Great Job! Thanks.
I actually really like the front view of the light, you could get some pretty amazing close up pictures of it
xXKASsNiPeSXx me too!
Thanks for sharing the failed projects also. I can't count how many I have had to fail. You are so correct in saying that if you don't try you will never know. If we fail at it we learn from it and keep move forward. Love your projects sir. Keep them coming
If the resin was clearer they could make neat night lights
Nick, I'm so glad you decided to show your failures. It might save others from the headaches in their project.
I wonder if you'll remember the "release agent" next rime?? :D
If so it might have turned out ok"release agent" Why not try to cut ti the wires with some kind of blade "release agent". But hey everyone messes up from time to time and for some reason people"release agent" like to see others messing up . Enjoyed it and waiting for the next one"release agent". LOL This might be that project the makes you remember the "release agent"
:)
That was an awesome video it is not a failure it's just a step in the right direction to success the only way to failure is to stop trying
Difficult piece of wood to work with. I liked the look of the finished product but would have liked to have seen more of the decay wood.
I am very glad you decided to share this video. It shows that you are just like your subscribers..........HUMAN........and humans occasionally screw things up........sometimes really badly. My guess is that there are very few wood workers, crafters and makers out there who would have shown their human side, like you just did. Great video!!!!!!!!
No mistake is a true failure Nick. Waffle on and I look forward to your next funky project. P.S. Did you make sure the polarity was correct on the wires? You may have just gotten them backwards. Good luck.
I love this. I really love this. Fail or not, it was good. Failure is not the end of the world, just the beginning. Will be working with resin in a 2 months. Because of this video, i know failure isnt a bad thing
You can still cut off the top and use the wood for something else
"release agent" lol
Hey Nick, I just love that you are willing to show us a project you struggled on here and there. They're kinda neat in their own way, and I can totally see where you were trying to go. I actually enjoyed this video because I'm just finding out... Resin can be difficult sometimes.
Keep up the awesome!
lol send them to another person as "blanks" 😝
HA HA HA HA HA
Russell Anderson lol kinda reminded me of "the murder bowl" blank, i think its carl jacobson who turned the blank from heath maybe🤔 i forget which turner he got it from, was a cool ass project, but i like when they collab like that
I agree with Justice, i say failing isn't a real thing. The piece may not be finished, but being a creator makes failing kind of impossible if you think about it. I will take them and make some boxes and rings and spinners and things.
Justice That blank was from Peter Brown, resin and metal shavings yeah?
I love watching you create and you make me laugh. You are so talented thanks young man for making a old lady smile 😊
I call for a rematch! you gotta try this again!
does that mean you're going to try it again?
Brilliant!! Teaching and showing failures makes us all a bit more adventurous. Well done!
I thought they looked cool even though they didn't work as lamps😭. maybe doorstops or bookends? whatever. ... still worth watching for your humour alone 😂. keep calm and stay weird 😃👍
They weren’t failures-you just learned new things that don’t work😉! I enjoy your channel because you’re funny, self deprecating and talented-keep up the good work!😊
Appreciate you showing us how to improve the work we do through your mistakes I think it's all about sharing good in bed thank you
Tim Halcomb I don’t mean to pick on your typo, but the “sharing good in bed” made me lose my coffee... 😂😂
Keep calm and waffle on. This was a very entertaining and useful video. I often learn as much from failed projects as from successful projects. Thanks for putting it up.
Actually this project was encouraging. It often seems the pros never have any issues with projects. This makes me feel I'm not the only one who occasionally has a fail. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for showing me that you have failures too. Your work is always beautiful and it’s great to see that everyone has projects that fail!
"No mistakes, just Happy Accidents", Bob Ross.
Thanks for sharing even though it didn't turn out as planned. I've been watching your channel for 5 months now, thanks for all the inspiration. You, Heath Knuckles, Carl Jacobson & Zac Higgins have been my shop class teachers. Because of you guys my friends say, "You made this?" And after my "yeah" they say, "YOU made this???" So thanks for making me a better artist/woodworker! But my wife says you are the reason we have 10 colored pencil wine stoppers! ; )
This is why I love your vids Nick because you admit your mistakes so we can all learn from them great vid it’s a shame they didn’t work but we live and learn xx
It takes a humble man to admit and then show/discuss his mistakes. I will learn from your mistakes and mine too.
I think showing your mistakes and success is just as important as the ones you love. I saw you have some little watchers from the note you read the other day. It shows that even master woodworkers ideas sometimes don’t always come to be what they thought they would and with the influx of subs it’s perfect to see.
I like that you post your failures. We all have them as hobbyists so it's life and nice that you share those too.
What you consider a fail is a learning tool for others, especially those on a budget that cant afford to lose a large quantity of resin. Making it a successful and useful project.
Hey NZ....I appreciate you more because....it doesn't always have to turn out funky and perfect ALL the time...that's what makes you REAL!!...
I’m one of those new subs and I honestly love the fact you’re posting your fail! Everyone is human, and on social media where everyone seems so perfect, it’s a nice reminder that we are all just stumbling through, trying to get better!
I love everything you do, even with a failed project you are so entertaining, if anyone unsubscribes it would be their loss! 💕
Even if you consider it a failure it’s still nice seeing the work you put into it and your videos are enjoyable weather or not I like how the project turns out because you just make it feel really fun.
Thank you for showing us this Nick! Life isn’t always success and how we want it to be nor is making things! Thank you for staying so positive and not letting it stop you!
I see how you wanted it to be and it would have been super wicked! No worries though! WAFFLE ON!!!!
I’ve been on a Nick Zammeti binge since I found this channel less than a week ago. I love your work!
thank you x
Thank You for showing us a failed project, and your correct it will help us along with yourself... it was a good idea and I'm sorry it didn't work. Good lesson for all ! 😊
First, thank you for sharing your fails! It makes those of us who are creating art of every variety feel like that box/closet we ALL have is much more than normal and is not a sign that we should stop now, just back away! LOL
I work with a lot of resin and what I do requires a lot of colors. To get a slightly blended look I let the resin for each color set up about 1/2 way. To get sections of color Iet each color set up completely. If you pour them all at the same time you are going to get, well, what you did.
I have been a subscriber for a long time and although I do not have a lathe or do woodworking, you do give me a lot of inspiration and encouragement. This fail only makes me like you all the more!
It's nice to see that not everything always goes as planned! Problems happen! Thank you! We all fail sometimes!
I love the idea of these lamps! I like how they look like cut and polished minerals. 😉 I hope there’s enough wood left to try again! 💖 Thanks for sharing your process, Nick!
Love, love, love using the mini lights on these. Genius! 🎺🇺🇸
I'm glad you showed this. This way others can learn from it too.
I love that you're willing to show your fails, it was still great fun to watch and shows that it's all a learning curve ;-)
You always make me smile, regardless of success or failure.
I think it's very important to show your failures, it shows learning and all that. I'm sure the next go around is gonna be more successful, it's gonna make those wins so much sweeter! This was still a fun video to watch!
Drilling a hole from the bottom, run string lights up, cut the bottom wire and feed it outside the mold, pour resin, shape like a vase but with a rounded top filled with the string lights, reconnect the wire on the bottom, add a base and switch... Win. You were totally on the right track idea wise.
I still love them as ornamental art, as they’re pretty and there’s a pair~! 💖
Nick it's great that you showed us a failed project. Everyone needs to see things happen, and you need to make the best of whatever happens to a project.
There is no such thing as failure, only opportunity for learning, and then success from that. I see an opportunity to make a lot of blanks for turning rings, spehere, and pendants. :D
I appreciate you showing us that things sometimes don't work out. Thank you so much.
Thanks Tiffany
One of the recent subscribers you mentioned, and I'm not going anywhere. I absolutely enjoy this channel fails or successes.
This is not just a woodturning channel to me.
This is Nick! doing some projects, woodturning and waffeling included. 👌😎
And with trying out to make something...out of something and being in uncharted waters, always a failure comes along.
Sometimes the failure isn't that bad or maybe genius. And sometimes the failure is just nothing.
I like to sew and I like to tinker, often it's a mixture of both. I can spend hours on a project and finally ...toss it.
Showing this side of your work on projects makes me loving this channel even more. I would subscribe immediately, but I have allready. 😉😂🤣😎
thanks dude
You're welcome! Greetings from Berlin from Julia 😉🤣
