I love how you take a bad situation and turn it around and make it a positive one. Nick, you're the man. In a world of "it's broken throw it away," you are the exception to the rule. Keep on making this world a better place to live. 👍👍
3:20 If you ever see smoke like that when melting wax, TURN THE TEMPERATURE DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!! That smoke indicates the wax is getting dangerously close to ignition temperature... Any hotter (or a careless flame/spark) and your melting pot could burst into flame...
As someone who spent 15 years working as a candle maker, I have to say it looks like you had your wax INSANELY hot. The smoke/fumes were a bad sign. We used a double boiler system (like bakers use with melting chocolate). The goal should be to melt the wax only to the point of becoming liquid, not to evaporation.
Or a Chess/Checkers set with 2 distinctly coloured flowers in alternating pattern (rose petal then violet petal etc.) in an otherwise clear board... Use smaller flower petals (2 different colours of course) to make the clear checker pieces...
I swear you can turn trash into treasure, steel into gold and water in to wine! Nothing is a lost cause in your talented hands. That came out amazing! I love it! 🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉
You do make life hard for yourself Nick! Rhodedendrons are one of the hardest flowers to dry - so thin, so delicate, you did a good job for the first try. Try again, with one of the easier varieties.
@@kimberlydlapp3441 Very wet and fleshy, especially where the stem meets the flower. A silica gel box will keep the form, but you need to keep moving the gel around every week or so.
I've heard popping it in the microwave for a couple seconds helps but have never tried it on accounts... I dont have a microwave. Tell me how it goes 😃
It still turned out so good! An ocean themed one with shells and such with a driftwood looking base would be FREAKING AWESOME! The shape of the piece at the end even looks like a shell!
You said "and dried lavander" and I looked at my craft room ceiling, where I'm attempting to dry herbs, including lavander for the first time this year. Awesome! I just found you, and would love to see more flowers in resin experiments!
@@MelanaC they don’t mean letting it harden lol. You should just use the double boiler or water bath method, then dip your finger in. If it’s too hot for your finger/wrist, it’s too hot for the roses. 😊
@ Nick Zametti, I just wanted to thank you, your projects and passion have motivated me to pick up wood turning. I'm still a novice and have a lot to learn but the satisfaction you get from turning a grumpy old piece of wood into a beautiful piece of functional art is beyond words. My wife and I thank you!
OMG! The tape. I am a retired teacher and we would have shelter in place drills and one of the things we would have to do is simulate taping around the door in case there was "something" in the air. Every d***n time this would happen to the tape. In a real emergency we would probably all be dead and I would have a torn piece of tape stuck to my finger.
So you were willingly terrorizing the children with government propaganda. Much like is going on now with the fake controlla virus. Hopefully you are keeping your socialist distance.
Don't listen to the trolls, Jane. We did tornado drills in school. When the real thing hit things were a lot more calm and orderly than if we hadn't drilled. Thanks for keeping our kids safe!
@@roar40s Yeah, when Timet had a chlorine spill and there was a green cloud over Henderson, NV about 2 miles from the school I was teaching at, the first thing that came to mind was "this is probably fake news" or when PEPCON blew up in 1988, located in the same area as Timet, I'm sure the teachers were thinking "fake news". (This was before my time, but I'm sure that's what they were thinking.)
I personally would've kept the back matte so that the light has something to shine against and bring a lot more light through the front. However that's just me, still a fantastic job and a pretty clever salvage of a project gone wrong. ^^
I've been binge watching your show. I still have alot to catch up on but so far I haven't seen one video that I have not liked. You never cease to amaze me! You and your work are AWESOME!!
While I'm sad it broke, you turned it around and it's gorgeous!!! I'd buy it!!! Keep doing you for the sake of our sanity during our C-19 times. Thank you so much!!! Ohh and keep waffling on!
I love how it turned out! Even though it became a mess, you found a diamond in the rough! What if you did other stuff like that? Maybe do something big, then let it shatter, then pick the bits you like, set them in, and make something else out of them. Overall, it looks like an earthy terrarium!
honestly, i find it so uplifting to see you always find a way to still make something with projects that went awry. makes me always wanna keep going on my own stuff!!
The tape was a foreshadowing of the project. But I love the fact that you never give up and still end up with a high quality (albeit smaller) final result!
I was heartbroken when I saw your piece broke, But I knew you would still turn it into something Awesome. Great End Result, even if it wasn't what you started out wanting to do. 💯❤
Funky! In a totally good way! Thanks for not giving up Nick! As a fellow crafter, I know how much work goes into your work and things don t always go your way, you could have totally gave up but you didn’t! Keep it up!
The waxing of the flowers brought up some old memories from 4th grade. I went to the renisance festival with the rest of my grade and my group decided to do wax hands. I stuck my bare hand in melted wax, then ice water (colder than normal ice water), then I did that ten more times. I never forgot how much that hurt, I want to remind you that this was safe (or so the adults said).
Well that turned into an adventure for you in a hurry. Great job on the flowers, even if they weren't perfect. First time for everything this adventure. Love the finished project , as it became the rainbow after the storm. Have a wonderful weekend.
it's the worst when it comes to packing tape and stuff like Scotch tape (I can't think of what the generic name would be). masking tape isn't quite as bad but still seriously annoying!
Nick, I am sure this has been said before, but when life throws you lemons, you make lemonade and thats what you did...certainly very cool project. Love your work
Great Save. Love it. As for the masking tape, an old body shop trick is to place it on a paper towel, then microwave for about 10 seconds. This helps renew the adhesive and it will unroll easier.
I wouldn't have been able to continue because if I worked that hard on a project with such excitement for the end result, my heart, too, would have shattered along with the resin. I commend your dedication to the project!
Absolutely outstanding way to stay positive Nick! Your bright and creative personality, choice of words, and your positivity are only part of what's kept me subbed to you for so many years! I love your work and your channel! Keep it all up good sir!
8:30 Of COURSE we were thinking that... We've known you were Mad within seconds of first seeing one of your videos... Why do you think we keep coming back?
I think this piece turned out really cool! What I love about you is that you keep going no matter what happens. And I’m sure you’ll find something cool to do with the other pieces as well. Keep doing what your doing
It looks like a great "Happy Holidays" piece, or a "For All Seasons" piece as well. Also, a suggestion, maybe parchment paper for an easier release. But all in all, it looks like a great piece!
U r an absolute nut!! I love it so much!!! And the depths of ir talent shoyld go w/o saying. I mean, just wow. I do suffer with some depression and ur vids make me smile, laugh, and get my creative juices flowin. I appreciate you sir. Thank u for making my days a lil better!! Much love and support. 🖤💚
Have a look at Artsymadwoman channel, she dries a lot of flowers in silicone and then resins them, she shows you how to get them out of the beads carefully too. She uses the largest size silicone cake case to make huge 'bouquet' resin pieces, much easier to get them out of a silicone mould than a dustbin lid
She’s fabulous! I was about to mention her myself. Love that chic’s vids and her personality ✌🏼🙂💖. Her and Nick are my two go-to resin channels. I’ve started working more with resin myself since learning from and watching them!
Blue and green lights make it look like a seascape, the red light makes it look like a hellscape. Love it, even if it wasn't what you intended. All the best things happen by accident!
Aw no how annoying for you! It turned out to be a really interesting piece anyway though, way to turn it around. Also, I think you might not like compliments but I really love how wild your hair is getting. And yes, that stupid tape, every time! Thanks for the video, Nick.
An awesome save done by a true artist. Great idea from the start, just need a sheet of plastic (trash bag/shower liner/painter's drop sheet/etc) to line the aluminum mold, or a plastic mold (trash can lid). Great idea!
I worked in a shoe store years ago. Silica bead packs were sent by the bucketloads in shipments and we would be hoovering them forever. But I finally got them to save the packets for me for my rose bushes. Worked a treat!
That is very cool how the different color lights brings out different qualities in the plants...Great Save...i think the half circle really looks good.!!!
8:30 - I think judging by the face you made after hitting yourself in the head with a metal pan that maybe it hurt a little more than you expected... 😂😂
What a bummer that the roundel broke! But the end result is a beautiful save. One of the many things I love about your channel is that you're not afraid to show us the mistakes and failures as well as the successes.
I love how it turned out - it's especially beautiful with the blue light! If you had cut the bottom on a bit of an angle, it would have looked like a fan!
Great recovery Nick. I know you were bummed when the whole piece shattered. You are a clever fella. Keep being funky and creative! I got the dandelion pot this week. I love it. Great work my friend.
Nick, if you want your masking tape to last, store it in a zip-lock bag to retain its moisture. That type of tape dries out in ambient air and tears easily. Give it a try! Love your content!
Hi Nick , a tip I pick up from Kim Tippin (woodturning) is to use granules from cat litter to dry out flowers, Its works realy well when left for about four / five days. Like the turning projects. Regards Tony
I'm watching this after seeing it break in the beginning. I still keep saying, don't break. DON'T BREAK! Man that sucks. It was beautiful. You are very creative.
Nice save. May I suggest adding a reflective strip in front of the LEDs between the stand and the piece. It would direct more light up into the epoxy as well as onto any wall the may be behind it, and prevent the light from shining directly into a viewer’s eyes.
So sorry it smashed on you, Nick. I think what you did was a brilliant save though. Will you try again? If so, put the flowers toward the back of it and build it up backwards so the ripples are in the front...and sometimes, less is more. You can highlight the flowers up front and put the darker background on them only in reverse of how you did it, maybe spacing the behind with layers of the resin?? Yes, silica beads/powder is amazing stuff. It's what's in the packets of vitamins to keep them dry. I highly recommend you try that again, and I hope you have more flowers available to work with as you do so. Thank you for sharing your experiments, your adventures with us. I don't have the tools or means to try these, but it sure is fun to watch! Blessings!
So sad it shattered! It was beautiful before and you saved it beautifully after the accident. Looks lovely as it is now. Be safe and keep up the good work.
Probably one of my most favorite projects yet! Great job nick, you continue to give me inspiration. It’s been a rough time in my life right now. Your videos always give me the inspiration to keep going. If something doesn’t happen according to plan, you can fix it in a funky and colorful way. Digging the laugh by the way. Would be cool to see it more often.
Bravo Nick ! Avec vous tout est possible, belle imagination ! Le résultat est toujours super ! (avec ce qui reste, il serait peut-être possible de faire des petits cubes, des billes etc... pour la déco )
No my favorite, but not bad though. I give you a lot of credit for salvaging it. It was beautiful in the tin mold. Good job getting something out of it. I really do enjoy seeing how you fix things when something goes wrong. I can always learn something from that. Cheers Nick.
Although you gave us a warning at the beginning, my heart still shattered at the sight of the shattered pieces... I’m glad that you managed to salvage half of it and make another pretty lighting ornament
"I dipped the leaves in wax. They ended up looking a little waxed." This is why we love you, Nick :)
I love how you take a bad situation and turn it around and make it a positive one. Nick, you're the man. In a world of "it's broken throw it away," you are the exception to the rule. Keep on making this world a better place to live. 👍👍
3:20 If you ever see smoke like that when melting wax, TURN THE TEMPERATURE DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!!
That smoke indicates the wax is getting dangerously close to ignition temperature...
Any hotter (or a careless flame/spark) and your melting pot could burst into flame...
As someone who spent 15 years working as a candle maker, I have to say it looks like you had your wax INSANELY hot. The smoke/fumes were a bad sign. We used a double boiler system (like bakers use with melting chocolate). The goal should be to melt the wax only to the point of becoming liquid, not to evaporation.
I came here to say all of that. Except the part about having been a candle maker for 15 years.
Yeah. The smoke had me worried too.
Yeah, I was waiting for it to ignite
Can soy wax be used or only paraffin?
i saw the smoke... but my brain didnt turn on... na
This made me think that you could make a wall clock with the flowers set in resin and maybe use the flower heads as the numbers.
What a brilliant idea, mate!
Oh noo my heart 😩😩 but it still turned out great! You should use a heat gun for removing larger things that get stuck.
yaass This needs to be a thing :)
Holly Targaryen - I’d buy one for sure. Hope he makes it happen.
Or a Chess/Checkers set with 2 distinctly coloured flowers in alternating pattern (rose petal then violet petal etc.) in an otherwise clear board...
Use smaller flower petals (2 different colours of course) to make the clear checker pieces...
I swear you can turn trash into treasure, steel into gold and water in to wine! Nothing is a lost cause in your talented hands. That came out amazing! I love it! 🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉

You do make life hard for yourself Nick! Rhodedendrons are one of the hardest flowers to dry - so thin, so delicate, you did a good job for the first try. Try again, with one of the easier varieties.
Have you ever done calla lilies? Do they work well?

Floral arrangements gone wrong.
I think he just might be really good at that.
Hell yes
I’m so glad that you listened about the silica gel! You can try spraying with a clear coat after drying to further preserve the color.
Yes, can confirm: there is always that ONE ROLL of tape that does that, every time.
I've heard popping it in the microwave for a couple seconds helps but have never tried it on accounts... I dont have a microwave.
Tell me how it goes 😃
I live in the Mojave desert, and tape does that as a result of the high temperatures. We usually get 120°F.
It still turned out so good! An ocean themed one with shells and such with a driftwood looking base would be FREAKING AWESOME! The shape of the piece at the end even looks like a shell!
"ill have to read the distructions" is what he said. lol
I thought I heard him say that!
I guess it's..'foreshadowing'?
I started calling manuals and such “destructions” years ago as kind of a joke. Glad I’m not the only one. 😉
I always call them destructions, have since I was a teenager
Nick... you had me cracking me up. Consider the project "a lucky break"! It was MEANT to be a beautiful floral fan! LOVE IT!!!
Really appreciate your content. Having one of those nights where I just need to get my mind off of everything. This was much needed.
You and me both bud
Same here
His channel is one of the best for that🙂
Hope you’re feeling more uplifted now sweetie. 💕
You said "and dried lavander" and I looked at my craft room ceiling, where I'm attempting to dry herbs, including lavander for the first time this year. Awesome! I just found you, and would love to see more flowers in resin experiments!
Nick, you fried the flowers in the wax. You've got to let it cool a bit first.
Lmaooo😂😂😂😂😂
Cool wax won’t take the flowers tho... I’ve tried this. But yes hot wax cooked the petals

I love watching your work. All of your funkiness and silliness just helps me feel better when I’m having a bad day.
Now take the parts and turn them on the Lethe into Christmas tree ornaments.
That's a great idea but they're probably in the trash (bin) by now, or not.
I would agree but spring flowers on ornaments would be kind of wierd....maybe easter? Or something summery
@@hetherpickwell5174 true or maybe some coasters or pendants

honestly, i find it so uplifting to see you always find a way to still make something with projects that went awry. makes me always wanna keep going on my own stuff!!
Nice safe. I knew you could use it. My wife heard your voice and said “what is he making now? I love Nick”
There's always some pain in your voice when something breaks or doesn't work as you wish.
But you always work it out like a Phoenix.
Love your work.
You should add some type of opening in the front of the wood so you can use it on a table to hold things. That would be awesome!
Like a lil drawer right? Thats what I was thinking as well!!
Showed my kids and they loved it! My 11 year old loves the light idea and wants this project! I am glad you finished it despite the accident. Nice!!
Beautiful Nick! The flowers in resin would make a beautiful table top.
The tape was a foreshadowing of the project.
But I love the fact that you never give up and still end up with a high quality (albeit smaller) final result!
This is giving me flashbacks to Bobby Duke’s bucket of pencils 😱😭
🤣👍🏽
And wasn’t that some collective trauma.. 😭🥺
I absolutely adore your sense of humor, your accent, silliness and projects. Keep up the great work!

Oh the fun of ripping tape. But never where you want it to.
it's the worst when it comes to packing tape and stuff like Scotch tape (I can't think of what the generic name would be). masking tape isn't quite as bad but still seriously annoying!
Amen ... xx
It's so awesome how you keep your lemonade from lemons attitude.
All these people commenting “great video, loved it” before even watching the whole video, just to be among the first comments lol
I have watched videos at twice the speed on occasion when I was hard pressed for time. (But let's be honest, no one did that here! 😊)
We don't have to watch the entire video to know it's going to be a Great (or at least a Weird) Video...
Nick made it, that's all we need to know...
Nick, I am sure this has been said before, but when life throws you lemons, you make lemonade and thats what you did...certainly very cool project. Love your work
10:13 - "man, this is KILLING ME, knowing what ends up happening."
Great Save. Love it. As for the masking tape, an old body shop trick is to place it on a paper towel, then microwave for about 10 seconds. This helps renew the adhesive and it will unroll easier.

You too! Blessings on thee!
I'm so glad you decided to cut the piece down and make a light out of it. It's so pretty!
Take an old fork (ask your wife first for one) and bend the tines to make a scoop to remove items from the silica beads.
This is actually a really good idea. Gonna try it. Thanks!
An awesome save done by a true artist. Great idea from the start, just need a sheet of plastic (trash bag/shower liner/painter's drop sheet/etc) to line the aluminum mold, or a plastic mold (trash can lid). Great idea!
That would look so cool inside or behind a fish tank :)
Sarah Lynn Sovilla now you’re giving me ideas.
I worked in a shoe store years ago. Silica bead packs were sent by the bucketloads in shipments and we would be hoovering them forever. But I finally got them to save the packets for me for my rose bushes. Worked a treat!
Speaking from experience: use only silicone molds with resin.
That is very cool how the different color lights brings out different qualities in the plants...Great Save...i think the half circle really looks good.!!!
here in germany we have an idiom: "er macht aus Scheiße Rosinen". It means even of a mistake he can make such a beautiful peace of art !
Noch nie gehört, ich kenne nur den Spruch „aus schei**e gold machen“

Absolutely stunning, the lightning colours makes it a different visual through every colour change, bloody brill

Probably one of my most favorite projects yet! Great job nick, you continue to give me inspiration. It’s been a rough time in my life right now. Your videos always give me the inspiration to keep going. If something doesn’t happen according to plan, you can fix it in a funky and colorful way. Digging the laugh by the way. Would be cool to see it more often.
U have a way of always turning nothing, into something. I love ur creative ways!!
How to turn a failure into something awesome 101. Nick, your work speaks for itself, excellent work.
Bravo Nick !
Avec vous tout est possible, belle imagination !
Le résultat est toujours super !
(avec ce qui reste, il serait peut-être possible de faire des petits cubes, des billes etc... pour la déco )
No my favorite, but not bad though. I give you a lot of credit for salvaging it. It was beautiful in the tin mold. Good job getting something out of it. I really do enjoy seeing how you fix things when something goes wrong. I can always learn something from that. Cheers Nick.
You make me just happy with your presentation! You are plain funny! And then you’re talented!!!
Awesome, goes to show you are an artist as you salvaged a disaster and made it even better
Although you gave us a warning at the beginning, my heart still shattered at the sight of the shattered pieces... I’m glad that you managed to salvage half of it and make another pretty lighting ornament
