Can’t explain why but I enjoyed that more 2nd time around. Thinking of you all. Much love ❤️
They’re amazing feats of engineering. Ground wasp nests are huge mostly under the ground. I love this Ben.
Yeah and pretty agressive🫣 Mostly they stay arround the nest in 5m radius… when disturbed. I hate Them all!!
But have to give Them credit for taking all that soil out, when making Ground nests!!
Wasps are actually important, and Can Take thousands of 🦟🪰Out every day !
I really like the classics too. The music you choose makes me extremely happy too. Please take your time coming back full circle. Your followers aren't going anywhere, including me. Sending my love from North Carolina USA.
Appreciate the rewatch, hope you all are doing well. We're still praying for your family. Take care of yourselves, love.
Great project! Awesome to see this again!
Thanks Mate
That’s beautiful! 😍 ❤ nicely done!
That looks amazing! But knowing what's sealed up in that resin gives me the heebum jeebums! lol
I did not expect that much beauty from a nasty looking wasp nest. 👍👍👍👍
This was fun to watch, so many cool details in the making of the wasp nest light! Thank you, Ben and Nicole ❤
Kinda shocked that you don’t have on a tyvek suit when turning. Def helping you plumbing out a bunch or even to keep your washing machine and clothes to last longer. Love the old content as much as the new. Hope all is well.
Thinking of you both and sending love, strength & huge hugs ❤
Wow, that looked like it took so much time just to get it ready for resin. You & your family are in my thoughts & prayers. God bless, take care & have a lovely day❣️🙏💗
After 4 years it still looks great.
If I recall correctly, you used the wasp that was left behind in the nest and put him in a shift knob.
Awesome!
Wooo first coment!!!
IDEA!! Glue some nest bits around an led! (kind of like a disco ball) The whole thing could look like the top view of this one!
Absolutely gorgeous. You have a serious talent, Ben. As much as I really don't like wasps, their nests are really quite beautiful and amazingly constructed. All the best to you, Ben, and your family. Stay well and safe.
It was fun to see that again. It looks so cool lit up in the dark! The top view is really incredible! Still looks great four years later!
Just as mesmerizing as when I watched the original upload 4 years ago. Appreciate the walk down memory lane. Hope you and the family are taking some time and are healing.
I’m a newer subscriber so I haven’t seen much of the years ago content. Amazing work and it held up wonderfully. I’m praying for your family every day. Family first and your community will take care of you
This looks amazing even 4 years later. All the best for you and your family ❤
It came out really cool!! Thanks for the look back Guys xx
Thanks Wendy 😊
Honestly loving revisiting these oldies!
I love this one but I had forgotten about it. Thank you for reminding me.
I've been watching your old content the last few days so I've seen this one a bunch now 😅 but it's good, I don't tire of it. Happy to keep watching while you guys catch your breath. It was good to see you looking happier in the latest vlog.
Can’t believe it’s been 4 years already! Love this blast from the past Ben. Great job.
Watching the woodworking part is at least as fascinating as the resin part. Beautiful work!
Wow that was so cool!
I loved the pot cam, and seeing you make the battery cover. Those are things I don’t always see from other wood turning channels.
@15:39 if you look real close, just below center left you’ll see the figure of a man. Awesome ❣️
Who wants to see a figure of a man!!! I’d much rather see a figure of a woman
Glad to see how well it's held up all this time
Thanks for always being a creative inspiration! You're one of the big reasons I got into resin art!
Still as good as the first time! I how you guys are holding up well. From one family to another, we will continue to support anyway we can. All the best!
Wow! Amazing! You're very gifted.
Oh wow, I haven't seen any of your videos from this far back. It's beautiful. And I'm so glad you started talking and letting your personality show through. 😊
BTW, when I was in 1st or 2nd grade (a looong time ago) I found a wasp nest like this except it was at least double the size. I took it to school for show and tell. 😅
I love the reruns. You did such a nice job shaping the finished piece. The base is perfect for it!! An oldie but a goodie. 😊
That’s a beautiful work of art!
Museum exhibit worthy 😊
This one remains my all-time favorite project.
really needed a video from you today!! thoughts racing and i cant sleep 😅
wishing you and your family all the best from sweden ❤
Hope all is well. Sending prayers and love.
Wow! Beautiful! Thx for sharing!
It still looks really good after 4 years!
Still looks fantastic 4 years on mate. Quality craftmanship right there :)
My first time Ben. Outstanding. Thanks for the opportunity.
First time seeing this for me. It is a unique piece. I don't think I've ever seen another like it.👏😉
Absolutely stunning
Stunning! I may have missed this one the first time. Love it. Take care n keep smiling
Amazing what you can create with a lathe, some resin and a great idea
A look back is good, I did miss this one and wow it is amazing, probably cause it has a hint of pink...my fav. Take care
Still amazing after 4 years! Awesome!
Thanks Linda 😊
I’d love to show this to a huge wasp nest I’ve been doing battle with. And laugh at them 😂
That is BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤
That’s very cool not seen anything like that before.
Cool. I had one as big as a bushel basket!
Wasp nests like that aren't just a paper LIKE material, they're ACTUALLY made of paper. The wasps chew wood pulp into a paste and apply it in layers to their nests. Wood pulp broken or cut (chewed) into short fibers mixed with water laid in a thin layer is how WE make paper, well one kind of paper anyway..
I hadn’t seen this vid before. It’s an absolutely stunning piece. Your work is amazing 💚
I wasn't around for this one the first time. Beautiful. A animal's habitat that I extremely dislike can turn into something beautiful. Awesome work! 😊💜. I'm still praying that things continue to improve for all of you. Much love to you all. 💜💜💜💜
Thanks Mel 😊
Hi Mel, I received your card today, Thankyou for being an amazing person! Your kind words means a lot to our family and we can’t thank you enough!!! Take Care Ben
You're so welcome. 💜💜💜💜@@BensWorx
Nature and Ben, what a combo!
So much ASMR, it was wonderful!!
Pretty cool, Ben! Thanks for re-sharing! Also for how it looks now! (Mike N HOC)
How lovely.
!!!!!! oh this is a TREAT to see, i love wasps so much!!
fun fact: unless you or someone else peeled a bunch of grey papery material (envelope) off the side of the nest (unlikely, given how it's shaped), this is very probably the old nest of some european paper wasps! most likely a colony that overwintered one or two years, given by how many nest cells there are; european paper wasps tend to have under a hundred wasps in a nest, and this is enough cells for probably closer to 300!!
That's a great video. Hope you're all doing better.
Great to see a video up today. Keep the vlogs and videos coming we love to see them ❤
Hi Ben, it held up well. Bee's are amazing, the way they build. I wonder if the bee would work in the resin. Hope you are all well and happy. Have a great weekend. 💌🙏☘💗
Beautiful ❤
You couldn’t pay me to get within a soccer pitch of that thing. I’m extremely phobic of anything with a stinger, especially wasps and hornets. I’m not allergic that I know of, but I can happily give them a wide berth. The burl is pretty, and I like the choice of color for the resin.
So pretty!
As always another amazing piece. Great job. 👍😎
I’m glad to see potcam. I’ve missed it.
Thanks!
Thankyou Gaile, we really appreciate your support and generosity 💙😊
I love it! I hadn't seen this one before.
What an amazing job you did !
i will take the cut pieces of that wasp nest if you don't mind. i could use those for my own projects
Looks bloody unreal mate, great job! Keep em coming.
lost for words........😍
That is wicked cool!
So very cool! Love that.
Stunning
i would not have the courage to touch a bee nest, even worse a wasp one XD the result tho is impressive, and i love how is still fine even after 4 years. i still love how it looks
This was awesome to watch. You a fantastic job ❤. It looks so cool finished. Thanks for reposting this for you new subscribers ❤
VERY beautiful work!!! =)
That was amazing,
so awesome!
know i know how the one i found would have looked. like i imagined, amazing!
Great to see an upload from you guys! Was a great rewatch and I really hope you all are doing really well! I’ll be honest which I never really do here, my lifes been really complicated with relationships, work, and overall figuring out who I am, and this video really just hit the spot and I started crying like crazy 😂 Thank you cause I really needed that
With the shape of the nest, my first thought was it was going to be a bowl
Loved this one 😊
Very very cool Ben 🎉🎉❤
Looks great ❤
Ooooo. I liked this one b4! Nice to see again, even tho i hate bees! 😊
Very cool 😊
como todos tus trabajos , una maravilla, gracias por compartirlos
Woah so cool
I miss your ASMR style videos. Throw one in every once and a while.
Amazing 👍🏻👍🏽👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wasp nests are made from a combination of materials, primarily:
1. _Plant fibers_: Wasps collect and chew on plant fibers, such as wood, bark, and stems, to create a pulp.
2. _Saliva_: Wasps mix their saliva with the plant fibers to create a sticky substance.
3. _Water_: Wasps add water to the mixture to create a workable paste.
4. _Soil and minerals_: Some wasp species may also add soil, minerals, or other materials to the nest for strength and stability.
The wasps then shape this mixture into the desired form, using their mandibles and legs to construct the nest. The nest is typically paper-like in texture and can be:
- _Umbrella-shaped_ (e.g., paper wasps)
- _Ball-shaped_ (e.g., yellowjackets)
- _Cylinder-shaped_ (e.g., mud daubers)
The nest material is incredibly durable and can withstand various environmental conditions. Wasps may also reuse and repair existing nests, adding new material as needed.
Some interesting facts:
- Wasp nests can be incredibly strong, with some species creating nests that can hold up to 100 times their own body weight!
- The unique mixture of plant fibers and saliva makes wasp nests resistant to decay and insect attacks.
- Wasps are skilled engineers, with some species creating complex nests featuring separate compartments for eggs, larvae, and food storage!
If wasps had a lathe and resin they would take over the world!
Good cool stuff man.
As you go through the old projects, is there anything you would change, improve, or add onto them.
I love how 11:08 sounds like a wasp 🤣
There is one thing that you should have done....the wasp that you found in the nest should have been used. You should have suspended it a half inch or so above the nest as if it were going to enter the nest.....suspended animation.
A thought for the next time.
Also, underneath, you should have carved a small concave area for a finger to release the battery hatch easier.
Overall, very cool!!!
