You might have cooler results if you untie the loofahs so that you can twist and wind them into whatever pattern you want. Might be a cool idea to do this for a tumbler or coffee thermos. Love the episode! You always bring a smile to my face seeing you get up to some crazy cool creative ideas in the shop.

@MilkTheBandit 3 месяца назад

That's exactly what I was thinking

@raYne1527 3 месяца назад

Oooo yeahh

@afg122602 3 месяца назад

I came here to say this exactly

@sturyuken8256 3 месяца назад

Me too 😂

@Wyrmgirl75 3 месяца назад

My thought too! Really want to see this!

@composing-chaos 3 месяца назад

Okay, Ben, as an artist, I appreciate your creativity and ingenuity, but… I think that lamp falls under just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Lol! I love the idea of using loofa for the texture and color, it might look cool with the light shining through it, as well. The fluffy stuff on the top is going to be a dust and cobweb magnet!

@kruimell83 2 месяца назад

Haha, I kinda agree, but I think they're a lot of other things possible with loofa's that would look cooler if you ask me.

@controllerpleb6568 2 месяца назад

Unfortunately I have to agree here. It's a great idea in theory. And I think that's where it should stay. As a way to push the boundaries of art, I think it's great. As a way to provide light into a dark room, I think it's somewhat less great.

@souljaboy.6668 2 месяца назад

i mean also just use better materials than buying waste to make more plastic waste, although with the amount of epoxy fumes and lathed plastic strips im not sure this dude cares lol

@Projectmayhem82 2 месяца назад

Also it's flammable there's a reason why lamps use ceramic 🤦

@Garfunkels_Funky_Uncle 3 месяца назад

you should get some bright (maybe florescent) colored loofahs and cast them in black resin, so when you turn it the colors would be streaking throughout.

@glowingember7553 3 месяца назад

I bet this would be amazing if the light was put in the hole you drilled. I'm imagining it radiating from inside the resin and loofahs. Could you try maybe putting a string of lights inside the center to see what happens?

@openorwap5412 2 месяца назад

Same! I was expecting it to light from within to show off the textures.

@f.cscootriders 3 месяца назад

With the amount of close calls this should be your lucky loofa lamp

@BacktheBlue60 3 месяца назад

Its really neat that there weren't a bunch of air bubbles in it. Nice work Ben ❤

@TheConwoman3 3 месяца назад

Looks like cotton candy. Very cute You can buy those loofahs that are braided. ❤❤❤❤

@BensWorx 3 месяца назад

Thanks Connie 😊

@hollypierce3076 3 месяца назад

I think making a soap dish out of loofa would be cool! ☺️🛁🧼

@Aslyuriel Месяц назад

When you drilled the base I immediately thought "oh sick a loofah bong" lol

@korialogo 2 месяца назад

The resulting lamp looks like it's going to Prom with itself. Cool!

@markchester7584 2 месяца назад

The sort of gift that gets ‘put away until you find a suitable spot’.

@gwynnfarrell1856 3 месяца назад

Love it! The swirls are so cool! I hope you do another one, maybe using a bunch of mini loofahs and turning them into a hollow sphere or egg shape to be lit from inside. Then all the swirls would be lit up and seen really well. 😊 Thank you, Ben, hello Nicole!

@lisakaye3935 2 месяца назад

Now just sprinkle some glitter on the loofahs ❤️

@StrandedLifeform 3 месяца назад

So cool! I love the blue loofah, it looks like swirling water.

@lissa2of8 3 месяца назад

turned out very nice!

@SunwingsStudios 3 месяца назад

love it! here in Canada we call those bath puffs loofah is actually the insides of a gourd 😊

@clarewillison9379 3 месяца назад

Ikr?! I want to say, a la Crocodile Dundee, “that’s not a loofah…” (brandishes real long gourd skeleton) “*THIS* is a loofah!” 😅

@openorwap5412 2 месяца назад

I'm from England and I've only known them as shower or bath puffs, too. Loofahs grow on vines/bushes don't they, like a type of squash?

@Wolfe_Metals_Stacking 2 месяца назад

They are synthetic loofahs, which is why they are called loofahs.

@leecoffill8425 2 месяца назад

As a Canadian... what? I have literally never even once heard of those being called "Bath Puffs" XD

@SunwingsStudios 2 месяца назад

I work at london drugs they come in large displayers in a bunch of different colours literally labeled Bath Puffs @@leecoffill8425

@kellsxdnogaming4645 2 месяца назад

did anyone else see Ben in the mirror while wet sanding? LOL 🤫🤣 love this project Ben!!! Keep up the good work! ❤

@markbass7145 3 месяца назад

I hope you asked Nicole first...

@jamiemccorkindale1476 2 месяца назад

That's pretty cool!

@BensWorx 2 месяца назад

Thanks Mate!

@karacoop 2 месяца назад

It’s always fun to see you create something new, Ben! I have to admit as the lamp was turning the shape of it gave me lady in a fancy dress vibes so I thought it’d be hilarious if you drew a face on the shade. It’s a very pretty project for sure!

@leannemitchem8865 2 месяца назад

Very very cool! Thank you for sharing ❤

@QueenQuill 3 месяца назад

What a fun project! It would be cool to use the loofahs and make a little pot with a lid to hold toiletries like cotton balls and cotton swabs. I think it would look really cool in a bathroom! You could also cut the loofah plastic open (it's usually tied with string in the middle) which opens it up into basically a long ribbon of the loofah material. You could then twist or braid multiple colors together! The possibilities are endless!

@bookworms77 3 месяца назад

Peter Brown made a similar project 2 years ago where he cut the string off and turned a couple into a bowl. His wife even suggested putting bath bombs inside for a bath side accessory. If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend.

@garzilla7123 3 месяца назад

I was worried that the exposed luffa was really going to cause problems, but I the end it came out great as always. Great Job 👍👍👍

@TheFlaimingCow 2 месяца назад

Still my favorite wholesome RU-vidr out there. Sometimes I just put your videos on when I cant sleep and watch them till I pass out.

@BensWorx 2 месяца назад

Thankyou 😊

@BuddahsCat 2 месяца назад

Hiya Ben and Nicole! I very rarely comment but I just had to say I absolutely love this. I can definitely see an iteration of this being sold at Target. Just add a crystal shade instead and a disco/ color changing light and it's perfect for a bathroom/vanity table/powder room. Hope you guys consider making something like this again; refining the process. Let an influencer get hold of it and call it good. I most certainly would buy one!

@BensWorx 2 месяца назад

Thankyou! Yeah for sure 😊

@der_kluger_gunther8391 3 месяца назад

i was thinking it would be a vase! i didn't expected to be such a cool lamp, it's amazing. and i bet Nicole have to buy new loofahs as well XD

@talllanky1 3 месяца назад

I knew what it was going to be as soon as I saw the shape you made.

@brendadishaw9273 2 месяца назад

I like that. Very impressive. Never would have thought about using them that way.

@ditkirbo 2 месяца назад

Blue looks the best!

@melissamcdaniel3542 3 месяца назад

Awesome project

@lindahobbs5545 3 месяца назад

That turned out really cool!

@BensWorx 3 месяца назад

Thanks Linda 😊

@Matwew21 2 месяца назад

I just realized, your voice and speech mannerisms remind me of my favorite apex RU-vidr, The Gaming merchant, the accent is not the same but the rest is similar. Love your videos :)

@wendyhubble1383 2 месяца назад

I love the idea of this. I think you should do it again with only two loofah colors, black and white maybe, and encase the loofahs completely in resin and make the top flat

@MikeNHOC 3 месяца назад

Pretty cool, Ben!

@Worthi_Creations 3 месяца назад

Cool idea! ❤

@jaspergoesrawrr 3 месяца назад

Dang this turned out cool!

@kandipiatkowski8589 3 месяца назад

Interesting lamp idea. Another idea I thought of is cutting the top off and make it into a lidded pot.

@davidskelton7960 25 дней назад

It looks cool

@roseosullivanIreland 3 месяца назад

Hi Ben 👋, the lamp is so pretty and completely cool. Have a great weekend.

@derrickstewart8127 2 месяца назад

If you cut rope on each loofah, you can get each one unscrunched, then scrunch them all back together as one. I think it would lead to something more interesting.

@boardmandave 2 месяца назад

Your voice an explanation is very soothing and your work is awesome thank you

@Pollenoverponds 3 месяца назад

This turned out really cool! If you cut them I wonder what you could do with the mesh? Maybe layer it with that iridescent stuff roll it in a big tube and make a lampshade?

@xEternalSaltx 3 месяца назад

awesome video ben love it

@resina_tabasco 3 месяца назад

Great idea, o like they result

@jimromansr9971 2 месяца назад

Pretty cool idea Ben. I kind of thought in the beginning it might’ve been a water fountain of some type using the loofah and such. Always entertaining though.

@laurazakrzewski 3 месяца назад

Neat idea!! Could make a Lava lamp shaped one too.

@emperortivurnis9161 3 месяца назад

Love the vlog channel cause its just Ben and Nicole havin a blast. The lamp came out pretty neat! I wonder what untying the loofas might get for results if ever tackled again

@Certawin 3 месяца назад

Lol, yeah see Ben getting a list. 4 loofah. When he goes to the shop.

@kristiericson1365 3 месяца назад

Cool!😎

@THEAPRILFOOL-1983 3 месяца назад

Great work

@aprilfurcean8302 3 месяца назад

This one turned out cute! Pun intended 😊

@glennprovenzano1837 3 месяца назад

A cool lamp

@LilyChilman777 3 месяца назад

I love that the pink has the blue and green beside it, because my mom's favorite color is pink and my two favorite colors are green and blue. And then one of my best friends (who is more of a sister then a friend really), her favorite color is black, so double perfect that the green and blue are next to it :D

@herodoesstuff 2 месяца назад

at first i thought u added the holes for the water, and not like, wires LOL very interesting project for sure 👀

@elizabethryan3594 3 месяца назад

I thought you were going to put a light inside the loofas. I think that would have looked really cool. 😅 Anyway it still looks pretty cool. I love watching your videos. Missed Nicole this time. ❤❤

@thelamandapanda 3 месяца назад

I have a suggestion! If you untie the loofahs you get long ribbons of the nets, I would do this and mix the different colors all around the resin!

@Tim-57 3 месяца назад

Hey Ben Fun project. I also see a nice vase for a bathroom counter. Take care 😊

@ConnieConnie824 3 месяца назад

Awesome

@ellishansen8115 2 месяца назад

Love the loofah lamp! I'm surprised you didn't make a loofah shade. I bet you could!

@BensWorx 2 месяца назад

Thanks Ellis 😊

@OldsouLim73 3 месяца назад

I want a loofa lamp!😂

@lightmagick 3 месяца назад

I'd like to see another of these, with more loofahs of different colors, untied and twisted around in interesting patterns, cast into a solid blank with no poofs coming out, then bore out the center and make a bright multi led strip lamp with it.

@1954JDR 3 месяца назад

What a marvelous idea! That lamp is beautiful. Great job, Ben.👍👍

@WX4CB 3 месяца назад

speaking of loofahs... i think getting a few pumice stones that have a ton of air holes in would be a good one.. especially with multi coloured resins :D

@Sinyk2u 3 месяца назад

It would be cool to see it done with deconstructed loofah. Get a bit more of a variegated look maybe.

@welshpiper62 3 месяца назад

Man thats one crazy idea but it came out great 👍

@ssue4q 2 месяца назад

Well that came out really cool looking!! Thanks for sharing. PS what scares me is that we've all been using plastic on our skin since loofahs came out women longer than men

@jessicafutrell3204 2 месяца назад

Plastic loofahs are bunched up tulle. You can buy tulle in rolls or by the yard. Then you can have more control over the shapes and easily mix together colors of the netted fabric.

@jasoncarpenter4116 3 месяца назад

That looks so amazing, I wonder how it would look if you removed the string, unwrapped them and cut them into strips. I think that it would be almost like a tie dyed piece mixed together.

@mialagunas8499 2 месяца назад

I understand why you stopped pot cam but I miss pot cam lol. Cool piece thanks Ben!

@BensWorx 2 месяца назад

It will be back 😊

@mialagunas8499 2 месяца назад

Well I'm excited! Thanks!

@qwertyness3565 2 месяца назад

Best way is to untie them and mix and match colours maybe a egg or bowl made from it.

@ultrawoody1968 3 месяца назад

Another fantastic project.......every one is a great hit....brilliant ❤

@senslayer5052 3 месяца назад

It looks like it would be a nice gift for a young girls bedroom.

@suesmith9202 3 месяца назад

That's beautiful. Well done you.

@user-rv3ij9vm5f 2 месяца назад

What a beautiful lamp that turned out awesome❤

@teriwood9657 3 месяца назад

Cute lamp for a bathroom. Would like u to make one where the loofah inside is lit up.

@802diamondpaintingpensbyli8 2 месяца назад

We have people make blanks to make writing pens & diamond painting pens with Loofahs!!

@sbxdotcom 2 месяца назад

My heart stopped a bunch of times with this one lol

@rashira9610 3 месяца назад

Ben, watching your channel has reminded me of a good trick: Scoring. Now I learned this 22 years ago in elementary school art class when we were making clay pottery, but well, I don;t make pottery as an adult so I kind of forgot. But through watching your channel, and watching you score the blanks to glue on your waste blocks, I remembered this trick and recently used it do epoxy on the nosepad to my glasses. Previous attempts to epoxy it on have failed, I don;t think the epoxy was really holding on to the nose pad, but I think with the scoring, and epoxy getting into the little cuts, it may just hold up now. Thanks for the inadvertent help!

@graygrand 2 месяца назад

That’s crazy.

@mistwolf 2 месяца назад

For a second I really thought you were making a bong >

@carolcrump32 3 месяца назад

I like this, but I think it would look even better with the light inside, shining throught the loofahs. This looks great though!

@lyndaowen2154 2 месяца назад

cute but definitely different

@Demonskunk 2 месяца назад

I think you'd get some good results if you completely submerge the loofah and then turn a vase or bowl out of it. The patterns of the loofah in the resin, especially if you put a light behind it, would look amazing I think.

@julietteneylon4243 3 месяца назад

This would have made an awsome bumch of flowers in a vase or ice cream cone. Love it well done

@afg122602 3 месяца назад

You totally need to make a shade for that lamp. Either loofa or some other shower related item.

@RushDF 3 месяца назад

Hello Ben, I enjoy your content and thanks for uploading. I think it would be very interesting to see various materials being chiseled in slow motion. Perhaps you and the SlowMoGuys should consider a collaboration.

@LatinaGem856 2 месяца назад

I'm guessing either a lamp or vase. 😊

@alisonmary1443 3 месяца назад

I like the base, no keen on it's hair do though 😂 Lit from below might cast some great wall shadows. Glad the base didn't come away while turning 😰 Thank you great stuff 👍Hope your both settling back in.

@andymanaus1077 3 месяца назад

Hi Ben. I'd love to see you do an egg with dice and casino chips.

@ikepigott 2 месяца назад

I’m thinking that you could take that central post (that the wire is running through) and wind an LED ribbon around it. Power that up as well, and you have a wicked internal glow.

@shirleyannconfer9651 3 месяца назад

This is an interesting project. I was thinking about the similarity to trimming hair just before you mentioned it. I wonder what it would look like with a light shining through the netting.

@beaniiman 2 месяца назад

I like it, may have been able to save some lufa by running something for the bit to follow ahead of time, then tape of course. Not sure but came out pretty good for a first try and love the way it looks in the resin.
