  • Back again with another terrarium build! In this one I transform a regular hourglass into an awesome terrarium. This is something I've had planned for awhile, but I wasn't sure how to make it work. It ended up being more challenging than expected, but I'm pleased with the final results.

    Been working on a few pretty involved projects and figured now was a good time to make this build happen... or so I thought until this one threw me for a loop. At first I wasn't sure if I could make it happen, but I persevered! Just keeping it real and showing that even I don't have 100% success all the time.

      Thought I'd put this in the comments to help you out in the future.
      Hole bits aren't very good for thin glass, it's better to use diamond burrs. Just trace out the hole you want and follow along it with the burr on low, medium speed. It'll take longer, but it's much easier and has a very high rate of success. Slow and steady is the best practice for thin glass. I've done it countless times and have had very few failures. You should use a continuous flow of water instead of the ring of putty. The putty and water method will let the water to get cloudy and make it hard to see what you're doing but the continuous flow of water will wash everything away and keep your work area visible as well. Either way you still need water as it'll keep the bit from biting too hard and keep it cool throughout the cut.

Unfortunately he passed yesterday morning and I found myself here for your latest video. I just wanted to tell you thank you for making such relaxing videos, it's been a great way to stop thinking, learn something, and just let the body relax for a short while.

    I think it’s possible to put springtails in the hourglass terrarium. They’re hydrophobic and float on water. So if you put some springtails in a glass and pour water on top. Then take some tweezers and a portion of moss. Then use the moss as a life raft for the springtails. Then put said moss / life raft in the terrarium.

    if you wanna make a hole in something round like a lightbulb or that hourglass, a really simple method is to tape some sand paper down and then rub the tip of your bulb on the sandpaper to wear it away at the end, leaving a perfectly round hole (and a sharp edge so be careful)
