Love molding at casting things. So much easier for hands and faces and things. Also I went to school for props in the US and we did some epoxy pour projects for fun. One minute and 5 minute epoxy are great for those types. It is both an upside and a downfall that it hardens so quickly but you may want to give it a try.
Don’t apologize for some ppl not liking it. Just do your style!! You’ll never please 100% of people so you shouldn’t feel bad for that and it’s nothing to apologize for. I love this!! Wish I would’ve seen it back when you did it so I could get it!! Anyway, great job!!!
While I fall in the camp of probably liking it more as a bowl or even a lamp, I didn't subscribe to your channel to watch traditional/repetitive projects. I'm sure I speak for many when I say we appreciate you scratching the itch to do something a bit odd. Keep up the great work!
If he made it a lamp and then he could send a hidden hollow rod up the pennies for more support and the cord too. I think the lamp shade could be another project?
The hand is great! The project is great! Don’t worry about what everyone thinks-you’re creating for you -not to please the whole world. It’s very clever and one of a kind. 👍👍👍
Carving a hand for your very first carving project was really bold. I can’t even draw a hand. So carving seems impossible. Loved the grain in that bowl. Quit spectacular.
What people forget are the bends/creases in our individual fingers. They're not completely straight, that's where people mess up. Honestly once you realize that.. hands are easy :)
As a novice carver (been doing it for 4 years now), watching someone as skilled in woodwork as you struggle was both funny and humbling. Thank you for the acknowledgement that us carvers are a unique but skilled bunch, and I hope my first attempt at resin pouring goes half as well as your carved hand. PS. Hands are one of the hardest things you could attempt! Kudos sir.
The flat side of the bowl works well for it to be back against the wall....one thought, you could of placed one of your monikers within the falling pennies and then placed a penny beneath the pot in its place....... Great video Nick, well done mate. 👍🏼😊
Nick, next time try putting wood shavings and resin inside a rubber or latex glove then mold it to the shape you want.....see if that works making a hand. I happen to love the rustic look of this entire piece. There it is and as the Stones would say, "I LIKE IT".
Great! I can't take the credit. I saw another person do it using little ball bearings to make a set of hand bookends. Those turned out amazingly well and looked like real hands. That guy put a small ball in the hand and shaped it hand around it. One for each piece of wood he attached them to. That's also a very good idea and lets you shape the fingers like they're holding something. Can't wait to see how this turns out Nick. By the way, I'm a little old lady, but I loved the dude comment. Love watching your videos also!
I looked this up so you could watch this guy make his. Hope you enjoy. I was wrong about the ball in the hand...but you might try that with yours. I'm awaiting your project with bated breath!!
200 years from now: "I think the artist was trying to portray the economic struggle of society and how it has an emotional impact on generations" Meanwhile: *I got an idea and that's all that matters*
I love it. Experimenting is what leads to some of the most interesting art, discoveries, and adventures in life. You come up with some very interesting ideas. I enjoy that about your channel.
totally bonkers and I love it. couldn't stop laughing when I noticed five fingers... had to check my own hand to make sure! 😂😂😂😂 loved it. keep calm and stay weird
I like that you tried to make your vision come to life and didn't just make it a bowl! It actually has a unique non perfect look that I enjoyed and like!! Not everything we create will be exactly as envisioned! Love it!
Oh no, not something weird and different! ( < - - sarcasm). Nick you wouldn’t have so many fans if you were normal. And you do unique very, very well. Love it!
I just found your channel yesterday. Love your strangeness and your creations! Makes me want to break free and use my creativity. Who cares what anyone tells you or me about what we should or shouldn't create!!!! That's what art is all about. Once I wrote an essay named "Coloring Outside the Lines". Before adopting our girl, I was attending night school. Took this English class where we had to write essays (but inside I really just wanted to be a mom). I remembered back to my childhood where my dad and sister were always critiquing my artwork. It made me feel shy about being creative. So as I was in this English class I thought this: when we do adopt I will do my best to encourage my child to be free with their artwork and be confident in their talents. Now my daughter is 16 and is drawing on-line for commissions. I'm near retirement and just itching to start a whole new era. Sculpting, sketching, writing, ceramics, anything I want to do. Some of these I've done before, but mostly put on hold while raising my girl. So I said all this to tell you that watching you create is making me want to do it as well. Thanks!
I'm seriously addicted to your videos. I've recently gotten into power carving and doing some pallet projects. Now I'm seriously considering getting a lathe. I've seen some suggestions in comments but I think your projects are perfect every time. Unique, one of a kind and interesting. I would, if I may like to request just the slightest bit more detail on some of the sanding tools and more instructive type of videos but that's just me being selfish and trying to sneak a long distance apprenticeship.
Hey nick, You could make a slot inside the coins connecting to an hollow inside. Than you could put a drawer inside the weird flat side so you whould have a fancy moneybox to put your pennys in instead of a simple glas.
I thought something similar, hollowing that beautiful block out to make a money box, either with a slot in the side, or on top between pennies. It would make a gorgeous charity collection box to have on the table at events. Didn't think of it until you were too far into the project to have put the block back on the lathe, though. Might try something similar, I keep finding bags of pennies all over the place, and it would be much more fun making something like that than trying to get a shop to take that much change.
I'm almost 9 minutes into the video but I just have to say, the grain and finish on this wood is gorgeous! And the bark showing through gives it a rustic antique feel. Like something you'd see in a western mountain lodge.
I would just like to say i enjoy your channel very much, not just for your projects, they are very beautiful and unique, but mostly you make me laugh. I can be having a bad day and watch your channel and it cheers me right up. Hello, from OHIO, USA
Not gonna lie was really relieved when you noticed the extra finger...I had kept repeating to the screen, "But it's got 6 digits! Why 6 digits!!??" I LOVE it! It is Brilliant!
I absolutely love this. My older brother who passed away a few years ago loved to collect pennies. So to me this is a beautiful reminder of my late brother. I love the funky stuff too.
Nick I love how your brain works, outside the norm! That hand is hilarious, it looks like Thing's hand from the FANTASTIC 4 movies, but I love it! Great job as usual! Cheers Sean
Hello Nick, I am from the "Land of Enchantment" - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. This piece will fit perfectly here in my area of the world. AWESOME piece.
Chubbs would be happy to wear that wooden hand my friend 😁 your skills are amazing bro and love your videos. Amazing teeth for an Englishman 😬❤ oh and you got yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the excellent work
I started watching your channel in February 2021 and find it fascinating! I love the wood turning and watching a slab of wood turn into something gorgeous. The Hand of Many Pennies is a cool project and yes, maybe a bit weird, but that's a good thing! By the way I am female and I live in Minnesota, USA. Keep up the good work!
Nick !..you mad man... I'm from the future and part of you 583,000 subscribers..and just to let you know..your flux capacitor works !..lol... So tickled to see you've incorporated the cottage crafters ' floating tea-cup !...yep...We have used various floating containers pouring into many other various containers and I will now make something similar to your "Hand of Many Pennies" for this upcoming St Patrick's Day ..😊... So waffle on Nick..we all love you and your crazy enthusiasm...oh..we also loved your modeling of your belt buckle..👍😉...🌿🌿🌿
I like it, you can't always make a bowl or vase. I love the darker areas too & I'm glad you left it too. The flat edge is a good idea like someone before me said to set it against the wall or even mount it on the wall, like a Waterfall (pennyfall) feature! Not to mention, it's TOTALLY YOU! Great job!
I know this is now an older er... "build" (?)... but I've been enjoying everything you make and I love it. As an artist who hasn't done ANYTHING in the last few years your videos do inspire me... despite having no real ability to act on that desire. Love all the Artistic pieces ou make.
That’s an awesome piece. I know I’m behind in commenting but I’m catching up on your are. Never apologise for anything you do. Art is in the eye of the beholder. What you do is art in the best way.
I've been watching your channel lately, getting ideas. My wife has been encouraging me to get back into wood working also. I'm off to find my first lathe...
truly1676 He has a 3d printer. He just wanted to make this by hand. Also, not everyone is interested in 3d printing, either. That's why it's so fantastic that TH-cam has such a variety of content creators! There's something for everyone. 😁
truly1676 I saw him answer someone two questions below your comment who asked why he didn't use his 3d printer, and he replied that he wanted to do it by hand. Regardless of whether he has a printer or not, he didn't want to 3d print it. *Shrug*
Deborah Langley Honestly, I didn't know if he owns a 3d printer or not. I was just repeating what he said to another commenter. 😁 But thanks for letting us know!
Me and my 6yr old daughter were watching your video and when you said you don't really like it she loudly says "but I love it! All the pennies are awesome😍"
Nick, I love it! I think it is wonderful that you go out of your way to make different, funky, weird things. Also, I know it's nearly a year and a half since you released this video, but you released it on my wedding anniversary, so, that's a plus. Also, for your first time carving something, it's perfect. I also am very impressed by people who carve things. Keep up the good work. EDIT: I didn't notice the extra finger until you pointed it out.
even tho the hand isnt perfect, and it was your first time, i actually really like it. i love it honestly, its not perfect and thats what makes it so unique. i actually even really loved the extra finger at the beginning. at first i was like, uh nick, why havent you noticed that yet? but the more i thought about it the more i liked the idea of it being messed up making it so unique. i love how this project turned out, really
Dude - I LOVE YOU! Love everything you make. You are a genius. My favorite is the feather bowl, oh, oh, oh, and the one with tinsel in it!! My Daddy had a Masters in Ind. Arts, was a Jr. High shop teacher, and raised me to LOVE wood and to never be afraid to make anything you can imagine! xo
Watching this verse your newer videos you've gotten way better over the years this is still beyond what I could do as a person that doesn't even own a lathe yet lol
I told myself I wasn't going to watch anymore of your videos for a while, since I've been binge watching them for the past week, so I came on TH-cam determined to watch something else and realized I couldn't do it. Your videos are addicting and im an addict.
On the non metric side of the big blue marble, we also have bottles, jars, bowls, and even the drink holders in our cars loaded with coins. I am glad that you always seem to have the ability to spare yourself no mercy from the humility of showing your mistakes, most other TH-camrs won't do that. After-all, if you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh at anyone else. Keep the great videos rolling.
You’re a riot, man! An animated looking organic piece of art. The 5 finger discount! 😂 Love your creativity and the fact your not afraid to push your creativity in all sorts of directions. Great channel!
Mold your hand in plaster and then use resin and wood shavings for the hand next time! Use a metal rod to support the pennies also.
Robin Duckett 🤗😜👍🏽
Great idea! I was thinking to use a manikin hand and spray paint it copper.
That's a great idea
Love molding at casting things. So much easier for hands and faces and things. Also I went to school for props in the US and we did some epoxy pour projects for fun. One minute and 5 minute epoxy are great for those types. It is both an upside and a downfall that it hardens so quickly but you may want to give it a try.
Doesn't plaster take a while to set?
Don’t apologize for some ppl not liking it. Just do your style!! You’ll never please 100% of people so you shouldn’t feel bad for that and it’s nothing to apologize for. I love this!! Wish I would’ve seen it back when you did it so I could get it!! Anyway, great job!!!
While I fall in the camp of probably liking it more as a bowl or even a lamp, I didn't subscribe to your channel to watch traditional/repetitive projects. I'm sure I speak for many when I say we appreciate you scratching the itch to do something a bit odd. Keep up the great work!
Agreed!
Yes! He's fascinating to watch.
If he made it a lamp and then he could send a hidden hollow rod up the pennies for more support and the cord too. I think the lamp shade could be another project?
Let's go back to weird camp NZ
Nick, this piece is as quirky as you are!! We love you exactly as you are!!! ❤️🤟🏻
Please please PLEASE turn a bowl of resin and playing cards!
Ok
The hand is great! The project is great! Don’t worry about what everyone thinks-you’re creating for you -not to please the whole world. It’s very clever and one of a kind. 👍👍👍
Carving a hand for your very first carving project was really bold. I can’t even draw a hand. So carving seems impossible. Loved the grain in that bowl. Quit spectacular.
ManCraftingTM hey thanks chad mate means a lot . Can’t wait to catch up again soon 🤗😜👍🏽
I feel hands are hard to do all around!
What people forget are the bends/creases in our individual fingers. They're not completely straight, that's where people mess up. Honestly once you realize that.. hands are easy :)
The six fingered hand reminded me of the movie The Princess Bride.
Carving a hand is easy, you just start with a block of wood and cut away everything that doesn't look like a hand :)
As a novice carver (been doing it for 4 years now), watching someone as skilled in woodwork as you struggle was both funny and humbling. Thank you for the acknowledgement that us carvers are a unique but skilled bunch, and I hope my first attempt at resin pouring goes half as well as your carved hand. PS.

Marc’s Fx OMG THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A GREAT IDEA!
Then placed the hand to be looking like it was coming out of the wall!
Nick, next time try putting wood shavings and resin inside a rubber or latex glove then mold it to the shape you want.....see if that works making a hand. I happen to love the rustic look of this entire piece. There it is and as the Stones would say, "I LIKE IT".

SixRavenEight /SMBW hey thanks 🤗🤗
You're welcome! You keep bringing the fun videos and interesting work and art , so thank you.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I really like that you allowed the wood to dictate the direction you took this piece. It's lovely.
lol great project Nick really enjoyed. had a massive laugh at 5 fingers. :-)
Highlandboxes haha lol me too 🤗😂😂
You're easily entertained aren't you.
@@TheresaPowers hi, my friend tell me that I'm easily entertained, I answer with "I know, I'm so blessed must be a bummer to be bored all the time"

M Brgs cant you bring your pennies to a Bank and get paper for it in america? I do that once a year
That's a really nice piece let's everyone give this man to hand, Lol Awesome Job!
miss these videos where you do stuff weve never seen before
You did a great job on that piece of work Nick Zammeti. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. In all honesty I love all your work.
Nick brilliant, you could have concealed a rod inside the pennies from the hand to the bowl to give it strength. Keep waffling on we love it.
I'm almost 9 minutes into the video but I just have to say, the grain and finish on this wood is gorgeous! And the bark showing through gives it a rustic antique feel. Like something you'd see in a western mountain lodge.
reminds me of the colored pencil cup pour. Great Job Nick!
thanks mate
I would just like to say i enjoy your channel very much, not just for your projects, they are very beautiful and unique, but mostly you make me laugh. I can be having a bad day and watch your channel and it cheers me right up. Hello, from OHIO, USA
Love watching you work but sad I can't find any of these kool items on ya website.
I love the hand. it's sorta country folk art and/or abstract. I adore the finish product and hope you do more, using funky things.
Got to HAND it to you Nick not a bad job.
dermot forte 😂😂😂
👏👏
Well I do believe it turned out great. Crafting is a relief from stress to me. Love it. Pennies from Heaven.
"You've got six fingers on your left hand, someone was looking for you"
You killed my father, prepare to die!
I'm SO happy someone got the reference. XD
Man, I hope it's not that kid who's father I killed.......
Excellent reference!!
Nick probably has one of the coolest (and seemingly most naturally suited) intro and outro music tracks of any TH-camr I follow.
Different for sure Nick, I actually like it! :)
Cheers
Mike
Mike Waldt haha thanks mike 😜🤗👍🏽👍🏽
Not gonna lie was really relieved when you noticed the extra finger...I had kept repeating to the screen, "But it's got 6 digits! Why 6 digits!!??" I LOVE it! It is Brilliant!
Very cool mate. Cheers, Jim
Jimson's Stuff thanks buddy
Your penny pot is fantastic and this was super fum to watch, thanks Nick!!!!
Very interesting Nick it turned out great, I personally dont have patience for carving so great job for first time my friend,
best wishes,

I absolutely love this. My older brother who passed away a few years ago loved to collect pennies. So to me this is a beautiful reminder of my late brother. I love the funky stuff too.
🤣 5 fingers... Good stuff! Nice project dude!! 🤘👍

There it is! Its different that's why I love it!! 😂 ☝️✋
Make it Soph hey thanks so much Soph 🤗😜👌🏼 x
The wackyness of it makes it fabulously amazing and worth a special place to display,

I really love this piece. Very funky and artistic. Not just wood work. Awesome !!!
Would make a great bank / money associated award Nick. Love the hand it resembles a Gorilla hand to me. Polydactily is interesting lol
Nick !..you mad man...
I'm from the future and part of you 583,000 subscribers..and just to let you know..your flux capacitor works !..lol...
So tickled to see you've incorporated the cottage crafters ' floating tea-cup !...yep...We have used various floating containers pouring into many other various containers and I will now make something similar to your "Hand of Many Pennies" for this upcoming St Patrick's Day ..😊...
So waffle on Nick..we all love you and your crazy enthusiasm...oh..we also loved your modeling of your belt buckle..👍😉...🌿🌿🌿
I actually kinda like the hand. Not even kidding :p
Cristofer Urlaub lol cheers dude 🤗😜👍🏽
I think this piece shows your personality more than the others I've seen. I love it!
And I'm strange too.. So I like unique pieces.
SOMEONE CALL BOBBY DUKE! We have a novice Carver on our... hand(s)😉😂
I like it, you can't always make a bowl or vase. I love the darker areas too & I'm glad you left it too. The flat edge is a good idea like someone before me said to set it against the wall or even mount it on the wall, like a Waterfall (pennyfall) feature!
Not to mention, it's TOTALLY YOU! Great job!
Really cool idea, it looks great buddy!!
I know this is now an older er... "build" (?)... but I've been enjoying everything you make and I love it. As an artist who hasn't done ANYTHING in the last few years your videos do inspire me... despite having no real ability to act on that desire.
Love all the Artistic pieces ou make.
Well done Nick. I like it. Shows your skills and your ability to be an artist in concept as well.
Missing58 thanks dude 🤗
super unique project and quite beautiful. even if it doesn't look exactly like a hand, it's spectacular!
Always makes me nervous when he does a high speed time lapse on the band saw.
That’s an awesome piece. I know I’m behind in commenting but I’m catching up on your are. Never apologise for anything you do. Art is in the eye of the beholder. What you do is art in the best way.
You nutter! Loved it! 👍🍺
lol. cheers dude
I love the "Hand of Many Pennies"
I also love your funkyness and art styles. Do what you like and are inspired by I'll always like it.
I like it - it reminds me of all the halfpenny projects we made back in 1984, when they went out of circulation.
I've been watching your channel lately, getting ideas. My wife has been encouraging me to get back into wood working also. I'm off to find my first lathe...
Why didnt you make the hand with your 3Dprinter?
Ship Creek I wanted to make it with my hands . Just makes it more difficult . Lol 🤗😜👍🏽
Amazing. I love that you show the whole process. The funky stuff is great!
You should get a 3-d printer. Not everyone carves.
Then you're on the wrong channel. His (and plenty of other channels) are all about carving stuff out on a lathe (most of the time).
truly1676 He has a 3d printer. He just wanted to make this by hand. Also, not everyone is interested in 3d printing, either. That's why it's so fantastic that TH-cam has such a variety of content creators! There's something for everyone. 😁
Laynie Fingers I don’t think he has one. He only borrowed one and is planning on getting one.
truly1676 I saw him answer someone two questions below your comment who asked why he didn't use his 3d printer, and he replied that he wanted to do it by hand. Regardless of whether he has a printer or not, he didn't want to 3d print it. *Shrug*
Deborah Langley Honestly, I didn't know if he owns a 3d printer or not. I was just repeating what he said to another commenter. 😁 But thanks for letting us know!
Legend has it that after binge watching Nick Zammeti for exactly two hours and thirty-seven minutes, one becomes a journeyman wood turner vicariously.
Well that made a change!? lol
McAVIT Yourway lol haha hope your well dude 🤗😜👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Me and my 6yr old daughter were watching your video and when you said you don't really like it she loudly says "but I love it! All the pennies are awesome😍"
I've seen the different types that people have made, but yours is unique and quite good for a first time project. Good job brother!
I absolutely love it, it would look grand on my mantle. Keep on keeping on.
Nick, I love it! I think it is wonderful that you go out of your way to make different, funky, weird things. Also, I know it's nearly a year and a half since you released this video, but you released it on my wedding anniversary, so, that's a plus. Also, for your first time carving something, it's perfect.

EDIT: I didn't notice the extra finger until you pointed it out.
I just figured it was Marie Antoinettes hand.....
even tho the hand isnt perfect, and it was your first time, i actually really like it. i love it honestly, its not perfect and thats what makes it so unique. i actually even really loved the extra finger at the beginning. at first i was like, uh nick, why havent you noticed that yet? but the more i thought about it the more i liked the idea of it being messed up making it so unique. i love how this project turned out, really
Dude - I LOVE YOU! Love everything you make. You are a genius. My favorite is the feather bowl, oh, oh, oh, and the one with tinsel in it!! My Daddy had a Masters in Ind. Arts, was a Jr. High shop teacher, and raised me to LOVE wood and to never be afraid to make anything you can imagine! xo
Your videos are my newest obsession! They are so entertaining. Great job
I was like no, no,no...hollow out the bowl and then after you mentioned your idea for the money I was definitely intrigued. Great work!
Penny's from heaven.. very you ..as always nick love you projects warts and all. Keep up the great work.
I love it. Nice combo of rustic and abstract art.
Door stop a very nice one
Nothing wrong with trying new ideas. Trying new ideas leads to better ideas in the future.
Whoop there it is and I love it. You do wild and crazy things. The wood is beautiful, and it made a great penny pot.
Hands are very expressive and difficult to portray in art, so you did well on your first try 👍
It actually looks exotic
there is a lot of weird and wonderful things in the world of art. i like it . well done
DONT WORRY Nick I really love it tyvm for sharing.
Watching this verse your newer videos you've gotten way better over the years this is still beyond what I could do as a person that doesn't even own a lathe yet lol

After-all, if you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh at anyone else. Keep the great videos rolling.
You’re a riot, man! An animated looking organic piece of art. The 5 finger discount! 😂 Love your creativity and the fact your not afraid to push your creativity in all sorts of directions. Great channel!
That is very cool. I really like it. The hand as you said isn't the best. Awesome idea to use the pennies to hold the hand in the air.
Dude!!! Don't apologize.... no one says you have to please EVERYONE!!! I love it!!!
I’m always thrilled to see what comes up next. I’m a big fan. Thanks
In 250 years, someone will be showing this on Antiques Roadshow from the planet Mars, and this will be heralded as a brilliant piece of folk art. :-)
I love to see artsy pieces from people who don't really think of themselves as artists
