@@peterbrownwastakenthank you for this lovely UA-cam video Christmas present! Here's my thought: maybe really do the base out of resin with glas in it, and instead of clear resin use silver or some kind of light color that will let the glass shine and not cover it up.

“It is possible to take something that is broken and in pieces and return it to something that has value” I came for the wacky build, stayed for the uplifting message
While I don't know if you're going to read this, I wanted to say thank you for this project. This year has been hard on everyone, myself included, and the idea that something broken can come together to form a whole piece is uplifting. While I know I'm not alone in this sentiment, I've lost an important family member this year, and my Mom and I have bonded through watching your videos to help work through the loss. Somehow, you inspired her, a 52 year old Stroke Survivor with use of only one of her arms, and not even the one she used to write with, to start painting again. Thank you, Peter. You've been a bright star in a sea of darkness. Happy Holidays, and cannot wait for the next video.
It's so cool when this kind of thing happens. There's so many ways that we humans harm each other. It's so nice to see times like this where we inspire each other.
"It is actually more whole than it was ... It is also speaking to me of tragedy because it is possible to take something broken and in pieces and return it to something that has value." My life has been kind of in shambles this holiday season, and honestly I think you just gave me a little bit of hope with this lamp shade. Thank you so much.
When you build the lamp, make the base in two halves connected with a line of the resin/broken glass mixture. Then maybe put color changing LED in the base as an added wow factor.
I typically hate vids where the makers narrate, as they tend to be over enthusiastic and annoying (IMO). You're the first who actually entertains me, as well as I learn.
Purdy cool! Great job for your first time making/using sock and mother molds, especially considering the tediousness of the casting process. Love seeing people challenge themselves and trying new things.
Many, many years ago, the John Hancock Building in Boston used to lose windows regularly (they'd just fall out) and I worked in an art gallery that featured sculptures by an artist who used the broken glass to make his art.
As you were trying to figure out how to join the halves, I was going "tape tape tape tape tape" and then you did tape and I was like "YESSSSSS!" This is a fantastic piece, so beautiful and crystalline.
This reminds me of the japanese thing of repairing a broken thing with gold, so that it's flaw becomes a beautiful thing about it. If only a guy had bags of glass, resin, dyes, and some metallic or flake...
This is probably the only guy around who could be mailed stuff like broken glass or pencil shavings or chunks of uprooted treestump and see them as fuel for creative projects rather than bizarre pranks or potential threats.
I really love that! My life shattered when I was 17. I felt like I was in a thousand pieces and slowly put myself back together. Like fixing shattered people, fixing that took a lot of work but it is worth it.
13:54 I have been in recovery from mental illness for several years now, and have a tendency to view myself as a "faulty product", so this little speech really moved me. Thanks Peter.
Beautiful ending. Thanks for sharing Peter! I'm not a maker as I lack the skill but I love watching your channel and it's been a distraction for me when I was in my time of greatest need. I've watched all of your videos, some of them several times, and I appreciate your craft. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
@@thesledgehammerblog This sounds like a Flexseal commercial. "Look at that damage! But with TotalBoat resin, just brush on and sand smooth and the boat is as good as new!"
Nicely done Peter! I am not going to pretend I am an expert but maybe a slow curing basecoat of epoxy brushed onto the mold before sticking the glass down would help. By partially acting like a glue to hold the pieces and providing a more even layer? Anyways awesome job as usual!
Every time I see a new Peter Brown video, my first thought is, "what whacky idea is he going to do this time?" Whatever it turns out to be, the results are always awesome and the video never fails to entertain.
Beautiful 😍 This would be pretty as a hanging lamp. I love how you pointed out this is an example of taking something broken & turning it into something beautiful. Inspirational message of hope. Thank you 😊
Peter, thanks so much for what you do! It’s nice to have something wholesome and creative to watch while I’m stuck in the house. The lampshade looks great.
I've had a lamp for over 20 years, and for most of that time, I've wanted a broken glass globe for it. I've looked and looked for one, yet before today, I've never seen such a thing. Now that I know they are possible, I wished that I were crafty enough to build one.
Look for a UA-cam video or Google instructions. Then just try. The worse that can happen is you might glue yourself to something. I haven't glued anything to myself yet. The cat definitely but not myself. Painted her too.
Love the idea that things can be broken and then made more beautiful through repair. Reminds me of the Japanese Kintsugi practice, I know I'd love to see you try that with resin instead of gold for a more economical fix 😂
I was absolutely waiting for a "walking on broken glass" riff, especially given that today (Christmas) is Annie Lennox's birthday. I love your creative brain.
Having worked in a studio that made slumped glass decorated with frit, I really wanted to dump the pieces onto the mold and just flatten them out, then turn with tweezers. I love a tedious project for this time of year, honestly!
Nice piece... i like it. In order to fuse the two halves. Could you have put both pieces halfway into the mold? So the sides line up, get supported by the mould. And then piece it together...?
The silicone molding material looks very much similar in colour and consistency to the artificial water product I tend to use for ship models sometimes - I just call that "blue Nutella".

Damn! That is amazing, I love it! Thinking of all the possibilities with the resin, like a shimmer pigment or a glow in the dark pigment!! it would take a hell of a lot of patience, I am in awe
This project speaks well of your tenacity. The taking on of a making of something never done before like this by you. You taught ME something in doing this. That shade came out wonderful and the interior of the material with light behind it - - just wow.
Very fun build! I wonder if you had put the resin down first and then put the glass on if that might have solved the “avalanche problem? Any way, very nice work.
Make it a leg lamp, but dont make it a sexy lady's leg. suggestions include: your own leg, sasquatch leg, zombie/skeleton/anatomical leg, or maybe a fried chicken leg!
Is it just me, or did Peter sound a little emotional at the end there? I mean, I definitely felt a little emotional when he talked about returning value to broken things.
This was brilliant, it was also very relaxing watching you fit the tiny pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle. Merry xmas and all the best for the new year
"I can't drop this but it is not fragile in my hands" *proceeds to gently shake the lampshade on five-ish fingers for the rest of the video causing me mild panic* love the shade though, well done
This is awesome. James and I were talking about some sort of a lamp when we were packaging up the glass. Can’t wait to see it lit up. Awesome job!
Thank you! I really appreciate you both thinking of me. I’m open to more idea. Got plenty left :)
Make the lamp out of it as well

My question is, if you drop and shatter is it really broke since it was broke and shattered to begin with?

I was thinking next time he should just used the wood form covered in double sided tape and stick the glass to that and epoxy it later.

This is probably the closest you’ve ever been to using that TotalBoat resin for its original purpose.

But other than the lack of a boat, the application was pretty much as intended.
