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.
WOW, Ben that was a lot of fun. The way you explained each step of the process was cool. Watching you create is always amazing. The "8" ball you made is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for a very enjoyable video.
Cool Ben looks amazing . You’ve done a great job. . You should do a Billiard Set . Then make a triangle place them inside and encapsulate it in a clear resin block .
Wow, Ben! The 8 by itself made my jaw drop. The final shift knob made me shake my head in amazement! You are so precise and get such a shine on your products. Really well done!
This is actually a really cool idea. Taking an existing object and figuring out how to remake it always proves more difficult than you first think, but you learn so much along the way. Awesome job!
😱 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!
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 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.
As soon as I saw the ball removed I knew it was a shifter knob. Looks great. I need to figure out the insert for my shifter as I need to replace mine. Looks great my friend.
All things considered, you did a great job with the eight! Would be cool to see how making a full set of these would react on a pool table though, I'm curious to see how they would work compared to the real thing
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.
That was an awesome job mate, I love it. I actually have an 8 ball on my gear stick, had it for about 40 years. I drilled & tapped it to fit. Cheers from Oz. 😊👍🏼
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!

Amazing job again Ben Looks like the real thing glad to see you made it into a shift knob though looks Awesome 😎

Yeah. Impressive work. The same. Could not find on Etsy. Does not compute. Lol
Sorry mate it’s already sold

Thankyou 😊
You inserting the 8 piece into the hole is literally the most satisfying thing ever
That’s flawless, the sheen from the lighting didn’t even wobble, what a work loved watching the precision 👍
Thanks Alison 😊
The process you used to create the "8" was ingenious. Came out great!
The creation of the insert blew me away! Fantastic.
Thankyou
8 ball in the corner pocket lol when I first glanced at this I thought you were making a magic 8 ball I’m delusional lol. As always Ben a great pour
Thanks Mate
Me too
Now I want to see someone build a magic 8 ball.
I read “make an 8 ball” as magic 8 ball” too. 😂😂😂
I thought the same thing lol
The centering technique was bloody brilliant!! Well done, as always!
Thanks Karan 😊
"Hey guys, Korg here, we're gonna make an eight ball out of resin, wanna come?"
I can't tell you how many times I say "AMAZING" when I watch your videos !!!!!
Thanks Kathy 😊
Wow. I'm impressed 👍👍
Thanks Mate
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
ah when my 2 favorite creators collide
Phenomenal! 😲 The planning, process and execution was PERFECT! 🤩 You're a legend Ben.
Thanks Julie-Ann 😊
Wow! you put a serious shine on that ball! very nice project, that 8 is perfect.
Thankyou
That is the coolest shift knob ever made!! Hand crafted by the one and only!! How cool!
So satisfying when you nudged the waste block ever so slightly as you were gluing it to the black resin! 🙏😁😘
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!
Thanks Kara 😊
One of my favorite ASMR sounds is you mixing resin at high speed I could listen to it all day
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!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
They both turned out amazing… I must admit I think the clear one has my vote. Thank You for doing all the things on this channel I love watching them
man i just love your voice, it just gives off a wholesome vibe my G
That was pure genius how you made the 8! Great job!
WOW, Ben that was a lot of fun. The way you explained each step of the process was cool. Watching you create is always amazing. The "8" ball you made is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for a very enjoyable video.
Thankyou
@@BensWorx
You're very welcome, Ben
You really got behind the 8-ball on this one, and sunk it. Looks great!
Thankyou 😊
I am impressed! That was a very complex undertaking, and it turned out perfect.
Thanks Lynn
Wow! I'm very impressed by your talent. I don't think I could ever have gotten that 8 centered like that. Great job!!
Thankyou
Nice! I can't believe that shine! I really like it. The magic 8 ball
Thanks Connie 😊
Ben, you are behind the 8 Ball! Nice project!
Thankyou
Wow that is awesome! What a great pour. You are extremely talented! Thanks Ben
Thanks Linda 😊
the pure aussie efficiency of mixing the 5 min epoxy on the service you want to stick *chefs kiss*
Looks pretty bad ass. Very realistic. Nice job 👍 Ben!!!
Thankyou Monica 😊
I got excited seeing that sphere jig. Then when that drill went in stationary that was probably the most satisfying thing ever
Gorgeous work, Ben! It was such a painstaking process, but you absolutely nailed it and should be proud.
The final product is absolutely amazing!
This was a great project. People who create things are awesome. Great work
The eight is impressive! What a smart way to go about it. With drills ! So smart!!
Great job mate.That number 8 is really acurate and centered.
Wow, so shiny!! I love the problem solving aspect of this video, thank you!
Thankyou
I wish that I had the talent and the PATIENCE, that Ben has. Great work!!!
Cool Ben looks amazing .
You’ve done a great job. .
You should do a Billiard Set . Then make a triangle place them inside and encapsulate it in a clear resin block .
Thanks Angela 👍
Always impressed by how steady your hands are.....I can’t even cut a piece of paper straight! Lol
Great job Ben!
Thanks Jason 😊
This project really resineighted with me. Great job Ben.
"...pretty good job..." dude, it looks amazing! Once again, nice work man!
This is the most work around way of making an 8 ball shifter and I love it! 👍🏻
I always love seeing how you work out how to do things! It turned out so good!
Wow, Ben! The 8 by itself made my jaw drop. The final shift knob made me shake my head in amazement! You are so precise and get such a shine on your products. Really well done!
Thankyou 😊
I watched the whole thing and I have to say that you did an amazing job!
Thankyou
What a stunning 8 ball! 🎱 It's absolutely perfect and turned out wonderfully. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all! 🙂
This is actually a really cool idea. Taking an existing object and figuring out how to remake it always proves more difficult than you first think, but you learn so much along the way. Awesome job!
Thankyou
WOW Ben, you never cease to amaze me friend, you're the "Leonardo Da Vinci" of the resin world! thank you!!
Thankyou 😊
Always amazing watching you create things
Thanks Steven
Great job Ben. Love the way you explain your thought process. 👍👍
Thankyou
Oh you genius I love you. This is so clever and creative and well executed, thank you for sharing this brilliant build.
Thankyou
Excellent work my friend and you definitely got the 8 centered.
Thankyou
Man, that black is just perfect on there. Outside of the threads and the 8, couldn't even tell it was moving.
Thankyou
he has the most calming voice and I appreciate it at 3 am

Genius way of tackling that #8. Nice one mate.
That looks like a real 8 Ball can't tell that it is made out of rosin great job keep it up
Thanks David
As soon as I saw the ball removed I knew it was a shifter knob. Looks great. I need to figure out the insert for my shifter as I need to replace mine. Looks great my friend.
Thankyou
The tech for forming the "8" 👌👏 well done!
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.
Looks awesome. If I hadn’t just watched you make it, I’d think it was a real one. Very good work
WOW!!!! 😃 What a BEAUTIFUL 8 Ball, Ben!! 😃 🎱 Great job!! 😃
Thankyou
@@BensWorx You're very welcome, Ben!! 😃
I never would have thought of using/creating a rounding gig like you have. Brilliant work!
That's freaking beautiful and I know nothing about resin or manual transmissions. Great job 👍🏼👌
WOW! you are so talented, Ben! I can't get enough of your videos 😍
Well my 2 year old loved it. She spent the whole time saying "wooow" and pointing at things excitedly
Aww 😊
As always, you never fail to impress me! Amazing job on the 8, that must've taken ages to get just right. Keep up the great work!
Thankyou
I really like how you went through every step with us and the 8 ball was brilliant great turn
Thankyou
Loved the way you made the "8"!
Thankyou
Hello from Canada. A fantastic job as usual! I really enjoy your videos, especially the spheres and the eggs!
Thanks Pauline 😊
Fantastic craftsmanship !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou
Awesome 8 ball! I really enjoyed the video this week.
Thanks Mel 😊
Very clever , I like the result and the solutions to your challenges , well done 👍
Thankyou
Fascinating stuff. Great craftsmanship.
Always amazed at your polishing just beautiful not as easy as people think
Looks great, Ben. I love the way you made the "8" in the white resin.
Bill
Thanks Mate
Fantastic work as always, Ben!!

I think this is a cool project idea
@@mayshack you can turn it round with out the flat spot it was one of the first things i done when i got my lathe
I feel like they would wreck the pool table rofl
Aren't you a smartie pants!! I love it, and how genius was that!!!! That 8 ball really is impressive! Thanks for making my friday evening Ben!!
Thanks Ellis 😊
That was an awesome job mate, I love it. I actually have an 8 ball on my gear stick, had it for about 40 years. I drilled & tapped it to fit.
Cheers from Oz. 😊👍🏼
That shine is insane!
Wow, that turned out really well!
Man, I really enjoy watching you make rad things!
Beautiful finish, Ben. Very nice.
Thanks Brad
Looks amazing. The spherical projects are my favorites. Now make the whole set! 😅
That turned out just awesome!
Thankyou
Great work Ben. I never would have guessed it would turn out to be a shift knob.
Love the way you made the 8!
Amazing craftsmanship mate, well done, very impressive
Thankyou
Looks like it's already sold. Great job Ben!
Thanks Mike
That's really neat and clean .
INSANE! It came out looking better than an actual pool ball. 🤯
Thankyou
Another fantastic project. Well done 👍
Thankyou 😊
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!
that was also my first thought. Could be an awesome looking Nightlight with the glowing white circle and the black eight in it.
That’s a great idea!
Thankyou 😊
I think they'd be too soft and end up denting on some of the harder impacts
Awesome work, Ben! Almost makes me wish I still had one of my old standard shift vehicles!
Thanks Mate
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!
