🌌Galaxy Spoon Carving | Wood, Resin & Glitter!

[@Xaqaria]

This thing is amazing and we absolutely love it. Only half of that is because of the item. The other half is because it's you. You bring us joy with every video and it was compounded this month with how the effort on display was for us. While she commented on the purple sparkles at the beginning, it took my wife until the Seahawks comment to make the connection and she forced me to pause. We're looking for a good place to display it when it's not in use. Thank you so much!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I'm so glad that it arrived safety! Thank you guys for letting me make this for you!

[@scootersfrog]

@@peterbrownwastaken seems like it needs a cool lit display ! now great work

[@TJtheBee]

Came down here to find your comment - gotta say, love the concept behind the talking stick and wish it had been implemented in my family. Y'all are doing something right.

[@Chahaohsha1013]

I don't know about this family in particular but I know the idea of "the talking stick" is seen in just about every Native American Tribal Law. From Cheftain meetings to family discussions it's been used in every debate/discussion to show respect to all involved.​@@TJtheBee

[@dinkelbroetchenlover]

I LOVE seeing you upload! I used to be a girl from Germany watching you create all kinds of stuff and now I am a young woman from Germany watching you create all kinds of stuff. Time flies and you're one of the content creators that has never failed to make my days better. Thank you!

Peter: I have never had glitter in the shop before; this is a first for me. Me: Well, now you're gonna have glitter in the shop forever

[@SeithonJetter]

Peter before : We've never had glitter in the shop before. Peter after : HOW DO WE STILL HAVE GLITTER IN THE SHOP!?

[@stsfuzzybear4613]

And forever after will have glitter in the shop! 🤪

[@t1dotaku]

Seeing you mess up and make mistakes is so helpful. It's a good reminder for myself that it's part of the process and isn't the end of the world if a project goes wrong. I know it's the reason why I didn't quit the first time I had a project overheat.

[@burnthewitch_]

This channel is so wholesome. You're honestly a great internet dad for all the kids who don't have a real one around. The talking stick idea is so cool; what a fantastic family culture they have!

[@fthurman]

Ah, I loved seeing this! I carve spoons, lovespoons particularly, and I also happen to enjoy the look of the 'lost wood' wood/resin pieces - perhaps I'll give that a try as well. FWIW, when I first learned to carve spoons, I asked, rather petulantly I'll admit, my mentor why we carved the whole thing, rather than using a bandsaw and bandsander to knock it down at least SOME. And he said that while we were learning, he wanted us to practice the technique with handtools to build that muscle memory up, but that he felt that once we had that skill in our hat, it was just as valid to use any and every tool at our disposal -- so I'd share his sentiment and say that your spoon carving method is perfectly fine! Lovely job, Peter!

[@manasplained]

Please reach out to Hedron Rockworks to see if you could get any of his gemstone grinding dust for a dye trying episode

[@lemondropcentral14]

Ooh, it would be super cool to make a secret wood D20 in his style! I dont know if it would be possible though.

[@theSheighani42]

I second this! That would be an epic collaboration!

[@vicroc4]

​@@lemondropcentral14 Wood and resin would probably be easier for him to cut and polish than some of the materials he usually works with.

[@JetteIsHollow]

Wow, this is awesome! I first watched your videos when i was about 12, (pretty constantly) 'm 21 next month. I'm reallyyy happy to see you are still making videos and not only that but it doesn't feel like i come back to an entirely changed person/channel. Still OG and cozy like i remember.

[@brandondunphy5486]

We really need a shirt that has your micro mesh talking points. I'd buy that instantly

[@FishersShop]

That turned out awesome. I enjoyed seeing the failed spoon and the bad pour. I had no idea the resin would get that hot. That was nuts. Great job!

[@RedGryz]

Peter, if you ever have to handle curing overheated resin again, may I suggest getting some heat resistant gloves to have under your usual gloves? I used to handle rotisserie work some years back and we had what were basically just some cheap, thick, plain cotton gardening gloves. It wasn’t perfect protection, but it made a huge difference and allowed me to handle the skewers just moments after cooking had finished.

[@EricMPeek]

Watching a new Peter Brown video always makes me feel like a kid again. Top tier as always Mr. Brown 🫡

[@RealAndySkibba]

3:50 Now you'll always have glitter in the shop.

[@skepticbat]

Love when you upload, Peter! My husband and I always yell " New Peter Brown!!" when we see a fresh upload. You inspire both of us to keep being creative 🤟🏻

[@Zoso14892]

Ah, that was a lovely message from you at the end, sir. Really touching input from you ❤

[@Tuakie]

I love your videos but I haven't watched in awhile because of the BetterHelp sponsorships. Keep up the fun videos and all your playful creativity ❤ Your content has meant a lot to me over the years. Hopefully one day I'll feel differently about BetterHelp. (And hopefully this doesn't feel passive-agressive or anything, I just figure that if I've been too uncomfortable to watch, then maybe others have too so I thought it might be helpful to know).

[@lizcademy4809]

I watch, and make liberal use of the fast forward button.

[@chrismanuel9768]

Yeah, BetterHelp are... awful people for what they do, taking advantage of those that need help. But I'm pretty sure he's under contract. I just skip the ads. He gets paid, I get to watch the video

[@vaelophisnyx9873]

nah this is a vaild reason to not watch; BetterHelp replaced a bunch of specialists with chat bots, and then leaked tons of private data and got sued for it

[@rusted_ursa]

@@vaelophisnyx9873 Oh, man, it just keeps getting worse, doesn't it.

[@uberkatja]

I agree, I'm bummed to see any creator supporting BetterHelp, but I'm also happy for Peter to be getting sponsors, because he deserves it! And if it has been helpful for his mental health, then I am thankful for that too (it can't all be horror stories over there, though I've certainly heard my share). I just fast forward, and try to warn people about it whenever they ask.

[@Miyori999]

Oh man, prepare to have glitter in your shop for the next decade. I wore a purple glittery dress to my homecoming dance, went in my friend's minivan, and 9 years later when they sold the van, there was still purple glitter in there! Nevertheless, the spoon came out great and I really dig how some of the glitter settled onto the wood, that was the first thing I noticed.

[@Faselbob]

Clearly it worked but I'm wondering, does that mold release spray onto the wood not weaken the connection between wood and resin (2:17)

[@peterbrownwastaken]

That was a mistake. Since that casting failed I in a way got lucky. I think I was just nervous at that point. :)

[@SheikTV1]

@@peterbrownwastakena happy accident indeed

[@chicgeekery]

It's BEAUTIFUL! I love how you show us the 'oops' moments. How you'll try new projects. It's always great to see a new video from you pop up! Question-the chunks of the overheated resin? Do they ever solidify enough to be used, or do they have to be tossed?

[@troche1087]

Woah it’s been a minute since the last time I saw your videos. It’s been least 7 years! So glad yours still doing wood crafts.

He knows He's under contract and can't get out. There's really no point with so many people blasting him on ever video 😢

[@user-hf3ym7lh4d]

@@BlackDawnYaoiLover I complemented him and plainly stated simple facts with no emotional twist beyond it making me sad. Because those facts are important for vulnerable people. I didn't say anything offensive or accusatory about anyone besides BH. All these extreme reactions about "blasting" and "shaming" really say a lot about the emotional state of the people writing them. Perhaps those people need some BetterHelp. Or perhaps they already got it, which would explain some things.

[@BlackDawnYaoiLover]

@@user-hf3ym7lh4d I didn't say you were blasting or shaking, but most of his comment section has just devolved into people upset he's locked into a contract he can't pay to get out of 🤷‍♀️

[@user-hf3ym7lh4d]

@@BlackDawnYaoiLover Fair enough. I guess I just feel a lot more sorry for BH's victims, which is where the money going to this channel came from. I absolutely do not support anybody tearing down Peter. But I am going to continue to respectfully make sure that when I see that predatory company advertised, people have a chance to be warned. They've been in the news for being scummy for *6 years* now. I hope he makes wiser choices and does even the most cursory background check before the next sponsor he signs with. 774k subscribers are counting on him to do better. Regardless of what other people are saying or doing, that is what I am going to continue to do. Because I miss enjoying his videos. He's a good guy. But the sponsor is really gross and if I were advertising them I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror.

Great video! I've akways loved the wood anf resin mix

hey peter long time viewer and i couldn't help but notice your sponsor better help sounds like its had some issues in the past and as some one who also goes to therapy i just wanted to make you aware of that

Neat. Particularly where the resin and glitter settled toards the edge of the wood.

[@EtakehOh]

So glitter and pigment. Have you see Solar Color Dust? SO many things. Glow, UV reactive, temperature reactive, color shift...It's good stuff.

[@MrSaranm]

Does mold release make the connection between resin and wood worse, or does the porous nature of the wood make that a non-issue?

It is a fun censorship choice! But in case you don’t know (and I don’t mean for this to sound rude, just genuinely trying to be helpful) biscuits and gravy are a thing here, it’s just that our biscuits are more of a roll type thing not a “cookie”. But biscuits and gravy (which is usually a white sausage gravy) is genuinely delicious!

@peterbrownwastaken. please walk us through cutting micarta/guicarta with the diode laser. Id love to see a silicone mold making video. ❤

[@clarky23]

Peter, just an FYI. The plastic is corrugated plastic and yes, is used for yard signs as well as other standing advertisements. The brand name is Coraplast, but that name has turned into a proprietary eponym at least in the printing industry. I only know this because printing and marketing was my career for 30 years before I became disabled.

Good call, not going for the Seahawks colors. They are dark navy blue and neon lime green. There aren't many color combinations that clash more than that.
