I Cast and Turn Nails - What Could Go Wrong? 🤔

[@jeremyjohnson6094]

Amazing looking bowl but I just couldn't help thinking, "how can I make turning more dangerous? I know, add shrapnel!" Love the video.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahahha, yes!!!!

[@lesliehackney7519]

One reason I love your channel is that you are not afraid to try different things. I thought nails might be a bit much but the bowl turned out great!! Don't change, keep doing your thing, I bet there are more of us who like it than those who don't.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Ha, my curiosity will get me one day. But at least it will be caught on camera. :)

[@markwhite6018]

Looks very cool. I was waiting for a nailed it joke.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahahaha I will leave it up to the watchers.

[@JiggsysShed]

Thank you for doing it so I don't have to Ken 😜. The nails look great in the dark resin. Love watching your videos where you experiment with different materials.

[@Azurko]

This is by far the dumbest thing I've ever seen someone attempt. I LOVE IT! It came out beautiful and scary all at the same time.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Bahahaha. I love this comment!!!!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Looks really cool, Ken!

[@PohlBarnProductions]

LOL you get those bla bla bla comments also ? lol bowl looks great and yes you can turn them as you just did ! thumbs up as always

[@MoonpieCreations]

Those comments are so tiresome. Lol. This is a KZbin channel not an airport. I don’t know why they feel the need to announce their departure.

[@bsharp55]

"Can you cast and turn nails?" is a question philosophers have been pondering for 1000s of years. I myself based my undergrad philosophy thesis on that very question. My conclusion was, no, I cannot cast and turn nails. My shop is still full of boxes so I have no room. You on the other hand have shown you can.

[@scotttague2729]

That's very cool bowl love clear on the top . Great job keep up the good work. Ken👍👍👍👍👍

[@samwyz69]

You can say that you really nailed it this time!! Well, it worked, and you did it. You can keep your nails in it. It looks nice 👍!

[@heatherreynolds8137]

And for my next trick...I turn light ammo left over from WWII into a cutting board with resin. Lol Nice bowl, Ken! I like the contrast of the nails against the black and how you can see them through the clear resin. ✌👏👍😎

[@purplebunny7728]

This turned out far better than I first thought it would. The inside of the bowl was amazing and then you showed the outside. Amazing and interesting. Although the preferred tool with nails would be a hammer. This was an unexpected success. Thank you for sharing.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much 😀

[@PBRJOHN684]

That is one Nail Biting Bowl! 👍👍🤣⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@MoonpieCreations]

Indeed it is! 😂😂😂😂😂😜😂😜

Thank you Ken for showing us now to do and they turn out great. Thank you for posting videos like this. I for one appreciate you. Have a great weekend bro.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Patrick.

[@dawnmason9558]

Love the pattern of the nails in the black resin not so much in the clear much less contrast.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Me too but I thought I would show off the nails in the upper half.

[@5809AUJG]

This bowl is gorgeous! A very unusual idea....but you made it work. Marvelous!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jward2389]

Looks awesome. Im glad it was left thick so we can see more deminsion in the nails. Suggestion. Maybe try turning BBs in resin. Or something cool with bb's

[@jencstephens5452]

One of the things I love about you is your creativity and willingness to just go for it. And on another note...... If the safety police would take a vacation they would see how natural selection would solve many of the countries problems. 😉

[@laurieschroeder6041]

When you released the piece from the container, it was an "OMG, THAT looks cool!" and you hadn't even turned it yet LOL Totally Amazing

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Laurie. I appreciate that

[@apismellifera1000]

Now that really really neat! Just another reason I like resin is because you incorporate other media into the resin other than wood

[@billc.6381]

Normally I watch and think “that’s so cool! I’m going to try that someday.” This time from the very beginning I was just like “nope, he’s crazy! Looks awesome, but nope.”

[@diannaboyce7667]

It’s very cool! They have bits for turning metal. Maybe one of those would work better for getting a thinner product.

[@KismetSarken]

Fantastic opening. BRB, gotta watch the rest of the video now. Okay, I'm back. That one serious awesome bowl. Love the 2 tone resin, but the nails are what make it. Would have never though of that. Very dark, industrial, cool idea. Maybe that's how I see it, it's just my style. Great video man.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahaha yes!!!!

[@miladyblue5077]

Not surprised that the nails were fighting back - my Dad was a machinist, and sometimes, he would come home, looking like he had gotten into a fight with a cactus. The metal chips were absolutely insane to deal with, come laundry time. Rough on the washer and dryer, for sure. For all that, though, that is a COOL looking bowl. Make some molds, so you can cast those nails in resin. Just use silver or pearlescent dye powder as a cheat!

[@acraftsmansimagination56]

0:59 ooohhhh ahhh 💦 Hahaha, nice one ken. You nailed it 👊

[@MoonpieCreations]

Well played.

[@TotalBoat]

Danggg! "Nailed it" haha. It ended up looking really cool!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahahahahahhaa well played.

[@WowplayerMe]

[@ITpanda]

Cast and turn Chains. Would like to see larger chain links at the bottom working up to smaller chains as it goes up, hopefully tiny chains along the rim of the bowl. This is the first project I would want to work towards if I could afford a lathe.

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

Once upon a time, one man dared to prove his bravery…and he did…and we were amazed…and some people left stupid comments…but overall it was a decent video………………….I mean, maybe not his best….but it was still pretty good…and we liked it….and we all laughed…and reminisced on the great times…. 😂😂😂 Great video Ken! Two thumbs up!!! 👍🏻

[@MoonpieCreations]

Kids, this video is no laughing matter. Only you can prevent stupidity. 😂😂 Thank you.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Well you nailed it looks awesome Ken

[@julieprior3126]

Great result! But what a labour of love (or intense curiosity!)...not surprised you had to make it over several sessions. I kept thinking of an ad I saw in some catalogue a while back for a transparent toilet seat made of ?resin with razor blades embedded in it!!! Don't know if any sold but I guess most people would think twice before sitting on it! Stay safe!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahaha I have seen those toilet seats. I'm not sure I would remember they couldn't hurt me every time I sat down.

Ron Humphrey did this same thing last year only his resin was light blue. Both are beautiful bowls.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I saw him do that one. Ever since I thought about doing a full nail bowl. Then I had a bunch of subscribers ask for it.

[@KewneRain]

You should have cleaned the nails with acetone (or another degreaser first) Aluminium nails, absolutely. stainless nails, depends, they're sometimes hilariously soft, with carbide but you're gonna burn inserts. steel nails, with carbide but you're gonna burn inserts fast.

[@MoonpieCreations]

They were cleaned with an acid solution.

[@SteveC38]

Nice Job Ken👍

[@tompuskar4426]

I've never turned nails but have done a number of bowls and bottle stoppers with aluminum shavings from a metal lathe cast in resin. I found that you can reduce the number of little specs hitting your arm if you spray the turning surface with water every so often. Also keeps the tip of the tool cooler. Kinda neat project but I think I'll stick with shavings!

[@pamelalee1508]

Ok...thumbs up... I just had to watch to see how long you got nailed before putting protective gear on...glutton for punishment..never did..however as you said you took breaks from the turning... Next time use plastic nails...do they make them ?..idk...make your own..lots..lol...then the bowl can be much thinner and still look cool... Rock on moonpie...👍😉...🌿🌿🌿

Hahaha, I wish they were plastic.

Rod Humphries did something similar about 8 months ago but he might've used copper nails. I like the black resin with the silver color of the nails
