    Ken this is great. The comments at the end, sell yourself short and the tool marks, those of us who are starting (even though I been tuning for 6 years) still face that. I am also glad you followed up to those statements giving a better understanding. Glad to see you in the shop again and looking forward to more great works of art.

    Ken, the wood will always win. When that came off of the lathe the first time I was as stunned as you were! When it came of the second time, I was ducking and swearing right along with you...and I'm not even a turner! Thank you for another fine video, that vase is stunning.

    Love the closing stuff about perfecting your craft and pricing appropriately. People in all sorts of disciplines need to hear that. A lot. I think we all tend to sell ourselves short either because we're a little insecure or because we're trying to be nice. Getting what you're worth isn't greedy or mean, it's fair.

    • @MoonpieCreations
      @MoonpieCreations  28 днів тому +2

      Absolutely. I was in a store the other day and came across some beautiful cutting boards that were priced at $20-$40. I thought about buying them all and selling them for more than twice that. lol Then on the other side of the store was a display of some turned bowls that were prices pretty high as they basic looking and were very unfinished. There were tool marks and tear out everywhere on them. To tell the truth it made me a little angry, I wanted to call the guy and yell at him. Then I thought hey if someone like that then who and am I? Still like to call the guy. lol

    @ericcartrette6118 28 днів тому

    16:38 It is the same with forging and knife making. Some of my favorite projects were what I initially thought were 'mess-ups.' Sometimes the steel decides what direction it wants to go, and sometimes, it's best to follow it there. Sometimes, I straight up mess up and send it in the wrong direction (it happens). But I think every artistic medium has its times when it tells the artist what to do with it.

    "It was at this moment that he knew...he F*Xd up." I love it! And that "mold" may be the best use ever of anything produced by Busch (gawd I drank a lot of that back in college). That being said, it is actually a good idea for a mold. Although, recently I found white "resin tape" (about 10 bucks for over 200 feet) actually works very, very well on it's own...although I do hit the pressure areas with duct tape...AND NO!!!! NOT A SECOND LEAP OFF THE LATHE!!!! That's why I always start with a 1" forstner and work my way up. A little slower but I've never had an issue.

    Hey, Ken - disappointed about the whole battle with the Moon Pie manufacturers that caused you to change your channel name. It's unfortunate that they had to come after someone doing something so radically different than baking snack cakes!
    For my part, minor critique. I see a lot of blue pigments used when a woodturner uses resin in their project - glad this was purple instead, however I believe that it would be great to see more deep greens, rich shades of red, black, or even something like a copper pigment used in a project occasionally. Hope to maybe see something like that some time. Keep up the good work!

    You’re not crazy to think the object/material sometimes dictates what it wants you to make. It applies to a lot of other art forms as well. Needlefelting, embroidery, spinning yarn, quilting, painting, drawing, and a lot of other craftworks. I don’t know how many times I wanted this project made a certain way, but had to abandon it and let the piece dictate what looked best.
    Also, I had a guy friend who lost a ring finger to a band saw. Please be more careful.

      @MoonpieCreations  28 днів тому +1

      Fair enough. But other than using a piece of wood with the crack in it the rest were catches because I am a more aggressive turner. It's why I use a face shield. I do not take safety short cuts. I could have used a smaller forstner bit, but hey I was way on the other side of the lathe when it came off. But I don't want you to think I am dismissing your concerns. I appreciate it.
