When I was in HS a long time ago, and I was in wood shop, I always was interested in the lave, but we were never taught about what you guys are doing. I wish my eyes we're open to this back than! Great job
Back in 1986 in high school shop class is where I got my start. My dad still has the first thing I turned, a large pine lidded box. I filled the screw holes with wood filler and stained it a dark brown....it's horrible, but dad thinks it's the best piece I have ever made. That sucks you didn't get that experience. We were only allowed to take shop once. I wish I could have continued back then. Thanks for sharing. Ken
I didnt think I would like the black, BUT that is sharp, I have to try that one also. People keep telling me you cant get a finish like that without wet sanding mess, well thank you, you just proved it can be done!! Keep up the good work!!
Wet sanding is for the birds. That Acks abrasive paste took all the small scratches out. I put some on and ran it slow for a bit then revved it up to high speed to buff it all off. Boom, no more small scratches. Thanks for that. Ken
Sorry about your recent failed projects, but you definitely got a win today. Fine work indeed. Just for fun, if you get bored and have nothing better to do, maybe make a fails playlist. Ha ha! For real though, seeing mistakes and knowing the pitfalls other lathe-folk might encounter is useful to those of us who wanna try this at home. I'll sit through the whole list and I think others might enjoy it too. Cheers! And thanks for another great vid.
Outstanding bowl. I have some spalted dogwood that I made a Dragon egg, but the rest is cracked like yours. The black epoxy is an excellent choice for cracked wood.
Brent, I had never turned dogwood before the Frozen Water Bowl I did. But wow this stuff cuts like a dream. But it continues to move even after it's dry. Those cracks are perfect for resin fills. Ken
Thank you. I've heard it does. Still haven't seen anyone dry full blanks with one though. Normally they turn the bowl green then dehydrate. Have you seen someone do a full blank? I'd love to know how it works on them.
So glad I found your YT channel. I love what you do! This bowl is..is... perfect. The wood, the acrylic color, the designs that became visible from the tooling. I don't know how much you charged for this bowl, but I bet it wasn't enough. Oh and from watching others I thought that Ack's was the best shine, but the OB shine juice just really makes it all pop!
Thanks Charlene, so the next bowl I worked on didn't go well. lol True story, but I think I can save that one. To tell the truth I like the problem solving I have to do to try and save these bowls. Ken
Ken, that bowl turned out sweet. I really like the figure in the wood with the contrast of the black resin. Definitely not a fail this time. Keep up the good work. Dave
Hello. Which of the Total Boat resins do you prefer for your larger castings? I have seen you use the High Performance 2:1, and the Traditional 5:1. Also would your opinion change for clear and/or lightly tinted castings? Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Marc, I prefer the 2:1 but if you are talking large pours I'm going to have to suggest Total Thickset. It is a 3:1 mix. This mix is used for jewelry and is fantastic for clear and lightly tinted castings. But it does take three days to cure as it is very watery after mixing. The 5:1 was cheaper, and drys crystal clear. It is harder than most but I believe it is made for bar tops and such. Are you using a pressure pot? If not, I do not think I would attempt large pours, do 1/4"pours instead. I hope this helps and I am here if you have any questions. Don't forget I have a code for Totalboat.com MPC20 will get you 20% off. Ken
Very nicely done! Love the black. And the dogwood is beautiful too! The only dogwood I have ever Turned ended up as a huge fail so I haven’t gone back to it since. But I like your method! Thanks for sharing!
I have projects on my shelf I started 6 years ago. I sometimes grab one and finish it. Sometimes it takes that long to get inspiration for what you should do. Ken
Moonpie Creations I haven’t been at it that long... about a year! So I haven’t began saving those fails. I just got mad at it and tossed it🤣. Seeing so many work arounds since kinda has me kicking my self 🤦♂️. Oh well there will be another!
@@KennettBTurnedI've done that a time or two. This is how I deal with failed projects. It's a stress reliever also. ua-cam.com/video/QQ7TqekpHEU/v-deo.html Ken
I make all my bowls as art pieces. I do not suggest putting any food stuff in them. But, you could put fruits or other like stuff in them. I would not put any liquids or anything you would have to clean off as you would ruin the finish, Ken
Hi .. I'm a journalist and free photography. I also deal with bird photography and wildlife photography. I enjoy watching your videos. I think you're a little crazy doing your job with pleasure. You share beautiful projects. I congratulate you. I noticed something watching this video. When using the pressure boiler, you did not pinch the cover. Was he doing the pressure boiler, or was it a little game? If the press boiler does not work, there is a jam and you can eliminate the air bubbles. May you come easy. I am waiting for your new videos. With pleasure to watch.
Do you have issues with your wood cracking/splitting with any of your bowls? If so, is there any way to prevent it? I turned my first piece last week (posted to your Facebook page, not sure if you remember? It was a spalted maple candle holder) that developed big cracks (whole wall)
Shoaib, I know I answered this on Facebook, but I think others may benefit from it too. I turn wood wet and turn it down to about 10% of the width of the bowl. That means it the bowl it 10" in diameter I will leave it 1" thick. Normally no less than 1: thick on any bowl. This helps allow for warping. Then store them in their own shavings in a paper bag (yes eco warriors I reuse these bags). I then leave them to dry for 4-6 months until I final turn them. Another thing I do it rough turn them the same way then coat them with Anchor Seal (Any latex paint will work) then let them sit for 6 months. Epoxy bowls require your wood to be completely dry. I recently turn a bowl I thought was dry, here's the video. ua-cam.com/video/7njbpITnpjs/v-deo.html I hope this helps. Ken
Andrea, 98% of my bowls are commissions. This was for a customer. Head over to my Website store. I have more posted there. If you are interested in a commission email me at moonpiecreations2014@gmail.com. I can explain pricing to you there.
Moonpie, would you mind doing a video on sanding sealer, wax , and polish? I feel like I am using everything all wrong lol. ( new turner here 6 months in) no one ever covers the detail finishing and I know you hate sanding but would be nice to see and hear your thoughts aka live commentary.
I'll tell you what. I have a bowl that's been on my shelf for about six month. It's Chinese Talo. It need sanding and finish. I will try and do a video on the finish this weekend or next. It's a lot easier than it looks. Ken
This is a beautiful bowl. I didn't know there was a black mica powder, that wouldn't turn it grey. It looks good. It's crazy how resin turning puts white strings of resin everywhere... anyway, good video 👍
The shell is beautiful. Black Onyx just looks great. Only one thing bothers me a bit. Whenever you are in time-lapse mode, it has that annoying sound. Maybe you can just mute there? Thank you very much.
Sorry, that's my AC running. It gets about 100 in my shop in the heat of the day. I'll see what I can do, but I'll be move to my new shop in about 5 months. Ken
Beauty! I see turners often complete the finish of the exterior of the bowl only to have to redo it once the interior is finished due to blending the lip. Why waste the time and materials? If you want the bottom finished then do so and leave the rest of the exterior to finish with the interior. Just a thought.
I am with you on this one. But I have just begun doing the bottom and leaving the sides. I think this will help as I always have to redo the sides. lol Ken
Sorry to ask a question I'm sure you get a lot from across the pond but can you please recommend an alternative to shellac in O.B.s, as I cannot get it in the uk. Thank you for the continued inspiration.
OB Shine Juice was originally formulated by Capt Eddie Castalin (he has his own channel) and is a 1:1:1 mixture of Shellac : Boiled Linseed Oil : Denatured Alcohol.
@@mmgross144 Actually Cap'n Eddiie stated in his video that he got the recipe from Ob Lacasta. 1:1:1 mix ia also 1/3 equal parts. Here is the video. ua-cam.com/video/taJbBmcaAZQ/v-deo.html
Turnt out awesome! Love the contrast! I had similar issues with my laguna live center, damn thing was making noise and was getting too hot to touch if it's been turning for a while. I think one of the bearings in my is shot, considering replacing with another brand. Great vids by the way!
@@MoonpieCreations I'm looking at the one way. I figure they definitely make quality stuff and shouldn't have any problems with it for the life of the lathe. Plus it has extra features like two sizes of cones which could come in handy.
Yay! Another win. I like it. I haven't used the Black Diamond yet. I have used the Jacquard. What's your opinion on the two? Anything worth noting such as this one is better for this type of project, etc. Maybe a difference in the range of colors.
I got a sample pack of the Black Diamond with about 10 colors and I noticed that all the colors were more of pastel colors. I may need to look into it, but the Jacquard colors seem to be more vivid and bright. But I need to use some of the other colors before I make a real determination. Ken
@@MoonpieCreations LOL, I went ahead and ordered a 10 pack of the Black Diamond yesterday. So, guess I can check it out myself. I used the Jacquard Pearl Ex Turquoise on a bowl I'm doing now and it is striking.
So I went out and used a few more of the colros I got. I'm not a fan. But a friend of mine suggested Mad Micas. He said there colors pop, Gonna give them a try. but to tell the truth I am a big fan of Jacquard. We will see. Ken
Oh you caught me. I took my breathing mask off for the video. The face mask it just a shield. I know the resin is dangerous and I shouldn't have do it, but I usually wear the breathing mask. Ken

Congratulations Ken. That wasn't just a win - that was a WIN! Beautiful bowl with fantastic grain in the wood. The black resin was a great idea.

Hey MC, the black CA you used to fill the gaps really added to the finis of the bowl. You are an amazing artist, keep on turning.
Thanks Jim. I really appreciate the kind comments.
DAAMMNNNN!! BEAUTIFUL SUCCESS! Its a beautiful bowl. I LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much!
Issues and mistakes make the bowls even more special, you did a great job, I learned just watching and hope to make one just as good.

The black onix looks fabulous
Thank you Donna.

I got a sample pack of the Black Diamond with about 10 colors and I noticed that all the colors were more of pastel colors. I may need to look into it, but the Jacquard colors seem to be more vivid and bright. But I need to use some of the other colors before I make a real determination.

@@MoonpieCreations LOL, I went ahead and ordered a 10 pack of the Black Diamond yesterday. So, guess I can check it out myself. I used the Jacquard Pearl Ex Turquoise on a bowl I'm doing now and it is striking.
So I went out and used a few more of the colros I got. I'm not a fan. But a friend of mine suggested Mad Micas. He said there colors pop, Gonna give them a try. but to tell the truth I am a big fan of Jacquard. We will see.

14:15 Is that helmet supplying you filtered outside air to breath? Asking because I notice a cloud of acrylic dust rising from the lathe.
Oh you caught me. I took my breathing mask off for the video. The face mask it just a shield. I know the resin is dangerous and I shouldn't have do it, but I usually wear the breathing mask.
