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.

ah when my 2 favorite creators collide
This is gonna make a nice shift knob! I'm guessing that is why you drilled a hole all the way through, I haven't watched the whole video yet!
That was pure genius how you made the 8! Great job!
I never would have thought of using/creating a rounding gig like you have. Brilliant work!
Gorgeous work, Ben! It was such a painstaking process, but you absolutely nailed it and should be proud.
Amazing work Ben! I wasn’t expecting you to pour the 8 like that. I was thinking you’d paint it but you went above and beyond for sure!

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.

Ever thought about putting a twinkie in resin?? To test the theory that twinkies have enough preservatives for them to last forever lol
As soon as you said you were drilling all the way through, I knew this was going to be a gear shift knob!!! Totally retro!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
That is the coolest shift knob ever made!! Hand crafted by the one and only!! How cool!
Always amazed at your polishing just beautiful not as easy as people think

Beauty! Fantastic work! Great test of skill and the finished product is spot on!
At first, I thought the hole was for an LED... but I love what you did! Nice gear shift, with a nicely centered 8. As a few others have commented, I wonder how these would act as 'real' pool balls...you could make some really cool ones!

So satisfying when you nudged the waste block ever so slightly as you were gluing it to the black resin! 🙏😁😘
One of my favorite ASMR sounds is you mixing resin at high speed I could listen to it all day
I wish that I had the talent and the PATIENCE, that Ben has. Great work!!!
WOW! you are so talented, Ben! I can't get enough of your videos 😍
I was thrilled to see that you just posted this! Thought it was a video done awhile back deep in the archives. What an amazing piece of work. I love the approach, thus method certainly makes this ball extremely durable. Extremely satisfying. I really appreciate how you let the viewers get a moment to try to guess the next step or try to solve the possible problems. So cool, you made your own 8 ball. 🎱

The eight is impressive! What a smart way to go about it. With drills ! So smart!!
Great work Ben. I never would have guessed it would turn out to be a shift knob.
I got excited seeing that sphere jig. Then when that drill went in stationary that was probably the most satisfying thing ever
😱 you were nearly through with the ball when I thought to myself he can make that a gear shift knob. And in just a few minutes later you told us that's exactly what you were doing with it. Great minds think alike! Love your videos! Love your talent!
Wow! you put a serious shine on that ball! very nice project, that 8 is perfect.

Genius way of tackling that #8. Nice one mate.
Niiiiice I dig it! I wondered how you'd accomplish the 8, but that was a genius way to get it in there. Well done.
The first thing I thought when I saw the drill bit being the way it was I was like this is gonna be a big mess up. But you did a fantastic job been. It looks fantastic centered as if it was done by a machine. Excellent job!

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.
