      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.

      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.
