DIY Celestial Jewelry Box Customization

[@StudsonStudio]

I love your moon and moon face! Speaking of moons, when are we getting your moons with faces tier list? I'm curious to know where Mac Tonight and Georges Méliès' moon rank. Aside from the Majora's Mask moon, those are the only two other moons that take up constant real estate in my mind.

[@MechanicalFiend]

This is very dangerous, they're all too great! Georges Méliès' moon is absolutely at the top and nothing will convince me otherwise. Top tier moon material for sure. The MM and Mac Tonight moons are so opposite in every way that it is difficult to pit them against each other. Let's leave it at they are each wonderful, depending on the situation. In addition, I would probably tack on the Moon Pie moon, which also has a special place in my heart despite not eating Moon Pies. Why did you ask me this? I've now written a full paragraph on moons, nobody wanted this!

[@Ru-yi9lt]

@@MechanicalFiend I think you should check out the works of Karel Zeman, they have the same Mélies "esthetic" of the handmade visual effects, I have discovered him by chance after watching a documentary about his works and it was stunning! I think it was called Karel Zeman _ wizard of the big screen.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Super cool stuff, definitely going need to look into him more, but love the visuals I've seen. The old practical effects with the hand painted sets and stuff is just... ugh so beautiful! Thanks so much for the recommendation~

[@rafamiranda3043]

As a watcher of both Chanel’s, I love to see you too trading experiencies!

[@ВалентинаБовина-ц2и]

❤

[@Ru-yi9lt]

Moons and suns with faces are just mesmerizing, I can't resist adding a swirly thin mustache to the moons though 🌚

[@MechanicalFiend]

So glad that someone else shares this fascination haha! A moon with a fancy mustache, very classy~

[@sven3365]

the matching blue sparkly nail polish at the end really brought the whole thing together

[@MechanicalFiend]

Not gonna lie, I am so happy that you noticed that. The pain of trying to paint tiny dots on with my left hand feels worth it now haha thank you for that!

[@khaxjc1]

I don't usually go for celestial themes. Stars and moons arent my thing. So I have no nostalgia or preference swaying me when I saw this is amazing and stunning and so incredibly thoughtful done. It came together so well. Definitely an improvement!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh well that is quite a big compliment, thank you so much! Really glad you could enjoy it regardless of the celestial theme haha, appreciate all of that more than I can say~

[@majamuller8790]

I know you get this kind of comments more often, but I really want to express my admiration for your creations. Your work really inspires me and lots of others as well. Your videos and the work you put into each of them is so motivating, everytime I watch one I just have the urge to create sth as well! Thank you so much!

[@MechanicalFiend]

I can promise you that every single comment someone takes the time to write means so much to me, I cannot even describe it. So so happy you could enjoy the stuff I make and if it can inspire you to create as well, that is more than I could ever hope for. Thank you so much for all the kind words, they too motivate me more than you know~

[@chromatic96]

What a stunning job you did! Congratulations!! I can see you did every single step with such passion. I can relate to you because I'm also obsessed with moons, stars and galaxy themed things etc lol Of course I also like the sun, bright skies and clouds, but nothing can compare to the night side. Maybe because I'm a night person... Oh, well!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha I'm absolutely a night person too, guess that might explain a lot! Thank you so much for all the kind words! Every time I go to get a necklace now, this just makes me so happy- such a welcome change from before. So glad you could enjoy the result~

[@CurtSlaten]

That box was definitely calling out for someone to pay it some attention, well done. Bonus for me, I actually knew the song and got to sing along this time.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Definitely agree, it was on the list for a long time! One day I'll hopefully touch on enough genres that everyone knows at least one song, although maybe with this one I've already met that haha!

[@carlosscampos314]

The serenading seemed the most essential step... loved it

[@MechanicalFiend]

Have to agree with you there- if a project doesn't get a song sung to it, it never turns out well! Hahaha really glad you could enjoy~

[@PoundTheAlrm]

dark blue and gold are a top tier color combo

[@MechanicalFiend]

Might be a little biased here, but definitely agree hahaha

[@mingshey]

I love your work. Gold moon and stars on dark blue sky are always so fascinating but your handicraft makes them perfect.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh you're too kind, thank you! I was originally a bit wary with the blue and gold going with the existing burgundy interior actually, but it all turned out to work surprisingly well together!

[@ArrestAthens]

I just found your channel and all I can say is that I love how you go about editing your videos and your ideas are all just so unique. IM IN LOVE

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh that's way too kind, thank you so much! Really glad you could enjoy everything, appreciate it so much more than I can say~

[@cassettetape7643]

For someone who claims not to be an expert, your attention to detail is truly astounding! Color me impressed🌜⭐💖.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Attention to detail definitely does not equal expert, believe me hahaha. That's so so very kind of you to say though, really glad you could enjoy it~

[@cassettetape7643]

@@MechanicalFiend Well, expert or not, you do great work! So thanks for sharing it with us🤩💕

[@cressharper1691]

Love the blue shading, its nice to play with different painting toys anyway. Well done.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Definitely, the airbrush was way too much fun- not too often that you get to learn a new tool! Glad you could enjoy, thank you so much~

[@karin8378]

This gave me a thousand ideas for star/moon themed things it looks amazing! ✨🌙🌟

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh yes, the celestial theme is very dangerous, just want to paint moons on everything haha! So glad you could enjoy~

[@Norfolk250]

4:47 I keep all of my support/backboards... the complete-random appearance of paint that ends up on it makes for some of the more interesting pieces I have. Nnnnnnnahhhhht that my own works are chopped celery, mind, but... ya, the backboards are prehhhhhtty golly-dern cool. Too.

[@MechanicalFiend]

For sure, some of the masking pieces just turn out so pretty haha! Wish some of the pieces turned out as nice as them!

[@veebeelights]

I love that u did the gradient it looks so much nicer than a flat color would!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes, definitely think so too! In retrospect, I think the gradient could have probably been taken even further with a greater spectrum of blue shades, but hey. Thank you so much for the kind words~

[@HoneebunnySapphire]

This is really pretty, and makes me want to customize my own jewelry box that's been collecting dust for ages. I'm normally one of those people that hates when someone paints over wood, but I really think this is a vast improvement!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oooo totally, if you want to do it, hope you give it a try! Love taking stuff you have that you might not like that much and giving it a revamp! You know I actually am super cautious about painting over wood too, but I really disliked the original so much that I figured it would be better to just make it something that I liked lol. Glad you thought it turned out alright, appreciate the kind words so much~

[@isabelflora]

IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR CHANNEL AHH !!!!!!! talented and underrated

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh well I'm so glad you could enjoy everything, appreciate it so much! Thank you~

[@aylaktavsan]

Your channel is amazing for binge watching/listening while I am crafting something myself. Especially in the BTS videos (I dont even like them), seeing you dance is so nice! I am so, SO shy that I cannot even think of myself dancing, like I immediately cringe out inside. Seeing you dance and listening to you sing, helps me gather some self confidence in a way. You deserve so many more followers! You are so talented, quirky (but in a sweet way) and funny. Hope I did not weird you out. After seeing view counts being low-ish, I just wanted to let you know that a random person on this planet really appreciates your work!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Not gonna lie, this made me literally grasp at my heart it was so nice and meant so much to me haha. If it can make you feel any tiny bit of self confidence, that is truly the best thing I could possibly hope for! It's actually really crazy to hear that because I cannot tell you just how painfully shy and anxious I am lol. If another human was in the same room, I would absolutely not be doing any of that! There's seriously so much I could say, but don't think I'd ever be able to express how much it means to hear that, so hopefully it's ok if I just say thank you so so much~

[@aylaktavsan]

@@MechanicalFiend oh my God, thank you so much for answering. I am so glad that I didnt make uncomfortable in some way because after writing the comment I got so anxious about it, lol. Just be as the amazing person you are, keep up your gorgeous work and continue inspiring people! I wish you all the best!

[@MechanicalFiend]

No no, not at all, I am sorry I couldn't respond quicker in that case! Everything you have said has only been so nice and lovely, thank you! It's honestly way more than I actually am, but I appreciate it so so much. Wish you all the best as well, may all the coming days be kind to you~

[@euansmith3699]

That's super. The matching nail art was a cool touch.

[@MechanicalFiend]

So glad you could enjoy it! Honestly really appreciate that you liked the nail art because I absolutely waste way too much time thinking about those tiny details lol.

[@jayeagle2435]

That moon is gorgeous ♡♡♡♡

[@MechanicalFiend]

That seriously makes me so happy to hear considering my questionable sculpting skills lol. Super glad you liked it, thank you so much~

[@boo_oops9860]

what a beautiful project. it's so nice to be able to customize our own things. putting your own mark on something makes it feel so much more yours. a lot of people feel displaced or homesick in their own homes and I think it's because so many of things we buy and decorate our spaces with are impersonal and mass produced. Thank you showing us such a lovely personalization

[@MechanicalFiend]

Absolutely a huge proponent of how much our living environment affects us. I've personally moved a lot and realized how important it is to make a space yours, so absolutely agree with you there. Unfortunately, I do think there are also so many limitations with time and balancing other responsibilities that it becomes difficult to do that sometimes. But hopefully it can be achieved, even in little ways. Glad you could enjoy, appreciate all your words so much!

[@Nosculptor]

I watched 3 of your videos in a row. Doesn't matter what you are making, the HOW is so entertaining. :)

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh well that is so so kind of you to say, it always makes me the happiest to hear that people can enjoy the stuff I make regardless of what it is. Thank you so much for all the nice words, super glad you could enjoy everything~

[@fluffykitty8842]

This adorable box and your adorable face with your adorable personality is in this video, and yet the cutest thing is the fact that your parents support your passion❤️❤️

[@MechanicalFiend]

I don't know about all that other stuff, but absolutely agree that that is really one of the only reasons I am able to do any of this. Don't think I can ever fully say just how grateful I am to have that. Thank you so much for all the kind words, it is so appreciated~

[@TheBeeLadyApiary9992]

Amazing transformation! I have the same type of jewelry box, except that mine goes down longer and is a stand-up one. Might take a try at it!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oooo so fun! There's so many cool options for jewelry box customizations and honestly they're pretty quick projects! Hope you give it a try if you want to, I'd love to see it when you're done if you do~

[@ShisaAi]

If it looks like something Howl would have in his room, it’s perfection

[@lyladepaula3291]

The great grains cereal box did not escape me. You have excellent taste

[@MechanicalFiend]

At least 80% of the cereal we eat is that raisin and date one haha, there's a reason it's called great grains. Glad to hear you are also a cereal enthusiast

[@mangoman8263]

This video speaks to me on a transcendent level. The end result is so pretty💖👄💖

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh that is so kind, really glad it resonated with you haha! Super happy you could enjoy and thank you so much for the kind words~

[@figrollin]

The gradient choice gives the piece a really cool weathered vibe. Not sure if you intended it (probably did!) but the lighter areas match up with bits that would be more worn - like the centre of the top, the area around the drawer handles etc. Very cool!

[@MechanicalFiend]

You know I did not consciously think about that, but was trying to make it look weathered. Now that you say that, a lot of things make sense haha! Thank you for pointing that out!

[@boohasnobum]

IVE LITERALLY BEEN BINGING ALL YOUR VIDEOS, AND OH MY GOD BLESS YOU-

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh well that's so kind of you, super glad you could enjoy the stuff I make! Thank you so much for the nice words~

[@the_darkborne5440]

That was so freaking cool looking at the end!!! I Challenge you todo another one to twin it but, you need to add some purple and the moon on top needs to face towards the other one so you can set them across from each other. I think that would be cool and yes the video will be similar. But, I would love to see it.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Glad to hear it's maybe an improvement! The challenge and the idea is cool but unfortunately I do not have another jewelry box laying around nor do I need two hahaha. Sorry to disappoint!

[@acmulhern]

Remember the days when KZbin diy videos showed you how to make a pompom or cut your jeans into shorts? And now there's this kind of content: masterpieces that most of us will probably not dare attempt to reproduce. You are very talented and also entertaining to watch. I have just discovered you and am now a subscriber 😊

[@MechanicalFiend]

I mean listen those pompom tutorials were the foundation for people learning more and building skills- idk where I would be without them! So incredibly kind of you to say, tbh I'm still learning so much haha, but really glad you could enjoy! Honestly, partly think that big projects people do are helpful for learning pieces that you can apply to your own projects rather than recreating the whole thing. And inspiration of course! Anyway, thank you for all the kind words, appreciate it all so much~

You need to learn the joy of a surface prep spray primer like Kilz & skip the sanding. Sooooooooooo much easier. Unless I am using a wood stain, Kilz is my go to for ALL furniture rehabs. Second choice, chalk paint. Sticks to anything.

[@MechanicalFiend]

I shall keep it in mind for any future projects! Just doing a one-off project like this once in a while it's honestly sometimes easier to just sand it because I already have sand paper laying around haha. Appreciate you trying to save me the pain though, thank you~

Love the moon sculpting on this - the craters work so well. Also the subtle constellations on the drawer sides are such a nice touch. How do you manage to get your stars so even? Is it patience? I assume it's patience - every time I've tried to do that splatter type mark making it's always a state XD

[@MechanicalFiend]

Thank you (once again!), this is one of the few I feel the sculpting wasn't a total mess haha! The splatter painting wasn't really too difficult with this, I think it definitely depends on your brush size and what you're working on. Since I was using a pretty small paintbrush, it allows you to control the splatter a lot easier!

[@dedeturner9643]

Beautiful job!!!!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Thank you so much, super happy you liked it!

[@katiestarlight1213]

Wait wait blue and gold? my starlight heart- 😭 it's beautiful!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh yes, such a lovely color combo- glad to find another enthusiast haha! Thank you so much~

[@CrixJoki]

You made it HELLA better! and yeah, I would keep all my healing potions for my D&D in a box like this LOL ooohhhhh and all my dices :D (total nerd)

[@MechanicalFiend]

Truly the highest compliment, it would be an honor to be D&D storage! Glad you could enjoy it, thank you for all the super nice words~

[@madokanever6386]

Idk once I count you I loved you vids YOUR so underrated

This is beautiful, I love the moon with the face so much, I would totally wear it hahahaha Can't wait to see your next project, this is sooo cool! Keep creating, you're awesome!! Edit: If I was a magician, I would definitely keep my magic stuff in here!

[@MechanicalFiend]

You know I actually did contemplate making a moon necklace as well, hopefully one day haha! Thank you so much for all the kind words, I'm really glad you could enjoy everything~ And very glad to hear someone would want to use it as a magic box, that's all I could ever hope for!

[@lonely_snail]

3:00 ~I'M BLUE, DA BA DEE DA BA DAA 5:52 omg, I'm currently trying decorating my room in a celestial theme, and have had to make a bunch of crescent moons and they are so hard😭😭 but yours turned out so good!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ok, but moons are deceptively difficult to even draw- painting the gold ones onto the box was even hard! I really feel for you for having to make a bunch of them, why are the prettiest things the most difficult to capture haha?

[@lonely_snail]

@@MechanicalFiend haha, right? I struggled just with a pencil and having many iterations to erase/correct it. You had one shot to paint it and just nailed it, like a pro!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Definitely wouldn't say I nailed it, the ones on the drawers definitely didn't turn out exactly how I wanted hahaha. But hey, I guess maybe that's a good encouragement to try and let some of the perfectionism go!

[@cookiepie22]

Amazing 👏🏻😍 I believe that this is magic which not everyone can do including me lol

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha it might look like a magicians box, but believe me, there's not magic involved here. It's simpler than it looks! Except maybe the sculpting, sculpting is the bane of my existence. Really glad you could enjoy~

[@cookiepie22]

[@rafamiranda3043]

I would LOVE to see how you edit your video. I’m a huge fan of your work! Hugs from Brazil 💕✨🦁

[@MechanicalFiend]

Essentially, I sit in the editing cave and watch it over and over until I can make it hopefully somewhat entertaining hahaha. So happy you enjoyed it, thank you so much for all the kind words~

[@jacoballison316]

Holy moly, It's been like 10 days and you went up 1k subs! Congrats!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Wow really? I saw it was going up alarmingly fast, but I didn't know that happened in 10 days. Wild, can't believe that many people are interested! Appreciate it so much more than I can say, thank you~

[@silbug]

Me (out loud & by myself): Wow! That’s baddass!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha I am honored for this to have garnered such a reaction, thank you! Glad you could enjoy~

[@mareaforsthoefel9078]

This is stunning! And I am a space nerd so this was right up my alley! What do you use for the gold paint? I’m redoing my first jewelry box and want to paint the knobs and handles a brighter gold when they aren’t removable to spray paint

[@boostrange7055]

👏 beautiful. You’re so talented. What are some craft / art supplies you’ve always wanted to play around with but never had the chance?

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh that's so kind, thank you! Really glad you liked it! Hmmm there are a lot of things, I'm really down to try any kind of craft. Would really like to work with resin one day, also generally learn more about electrical wiring to incorporate more lights in projects (does that count as a craft?). Mold-making, wood carving, vacuum forming, tbh the list is pretty endless haha!

[@boostrange7055]

@@MechanicalFiend I would love to send you a mystery craft supplies box! If that’s something you’d be interested in?

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh my goodness that is way too nice, I appreciate you offering so much! Tbh I would feel really guilty accepting anything from someone without being able to give them something in return. I genuinely can't tell you just how much it means that you would offer to do that though, thank you so so much~

[@boostrange7055]

@@MechanicalFiend I understand I’d just love to see what you’d come up with! I love crafting, but I have so many supplies I just don’t think I’ll ever get around to using. I really want to ‘share the stash’ and see what other creative minds and hands will create.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh well I'm really sorry, that's too kind and so so much appreciated. Seriously, I don't even know how to say just how grateful I am that you would offer to do that!

[@feliciar1]

Love the transformation. I think it looks better than the original. Just love your videos and just binge watched your videos. I love your cat shirt in this video. Where did you get it?

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh so happy to hear you thought so, thank you so much! And appreciate all the nice words so much oh my goodness, you're far too kind! Super happy you could enjoy~ Truthfully I got that shirt so long ago I don't 100% remember, but I believe it was some Halloween clearance at Target quite a few years ago haha!

Excelente trabajo y bien pulido. Quedó muy hermoso. Mil felicidades. Gracias Dios Yahweh que te dió el talento de arte y artesanía. Por cierto, me sorprendí mucho, muchísimo de que, físicamente, tú eres casi muy parecida a mi amiga sorda bogotana. Me pareció increíble que mi amiga y tú se parecen casi gemelas. Ella también se llama Stefanny, además es artista profesional. ¡Qué coincidencia tan increíble😯! Muchos saludos y abrazos desde Colombia. Dios Yahweh te bendiga Gran Shalom ☺️🙏🏻✝️✡️🇮🇱🌼🌻

[@MechanicalFiend]

Eso es demasiado amable, ¡muchas gracias! ¡Realmente me alegro de que pudieras disfrutar de todo! Qué graciosa coincidencia que tu amigo se parezca jaja. Lo siento mucho por mi mal español, espero que esto tenga sentido~ Thank you so much!

[@chicpucca]

@@MechanicalFiend Woooww, tú sabes hablar en español😍🎉🎉🎉🎉. ¡Qué fantástico y maravilloso! Me alegro mucho por incluir el idioma en español, porque todos somos uno. Algún día te mandaré el vídeo con mi amiga sorda, para sorprender a tí 😀. Yo también soy sorda de nacimiento y fotógrafa, gracias Dios Yahweh. Un gran abrazo de silencio y bondad 😊🙅🏻‍♀️🌟⚡✨🌠 Dios Yahweh te bendiga Shalom ☺️🙏🏻✝️✡️🇮🇱🌻🌼💐
