That's so cool. My address here in south Carolina is #8. Now that I've seen this. I learned some techniques. I might scale it up and make some plaques to hang for the mail carrier. I'll need some resin though. All I have is a couple of gallons of flex coat for repairing fishing rods. Great video Ben

i love how precise all your steps are, and how well you problem solve as you go. reminds me a lot of the amazing work Ray Whitby does on his channel. y’all are both resin masters that i believe could make almost anything out of resin. also the 8 with the pencil lines through it on the white square (at 8:00) instantly reminded me of the countdown numbers they put at the start of old timey movies.

@veridico84 Жыл бұрын

That would be very interesting. The sizing is extremely important. The white ball is slightly smaller than the other balls, so it follows a different path when sunk. If the sizes are off, it won't work on a table.

The last 8 ball like this I saw was My Mechanics making one out of brass and aluminum with a mill and everything at his disposal. You have done an EXCELLENT job doing it by hand. If you haven't watched Ray Whitby doing a similar thing making the resin Red Bull can I highly reccomend it. Again, hats off to you for nailing it like that by hand. Always good to see a new video come up.
