Oh yay! Heather I’m so glad you saw this. Ken looked high and low for your communications. Had your info on the blank forever but it must have come off in our move! I’m so glad you saw and commented. I was afraid it was going to drive him crazy (crazier). 😂

Instead of the shop towel, put a big rubber band around your chuck jaws. It will hold the piece more secure to the chuck without marring the finish.

@@RayWhitbyCreations I certainly wouldn't argue with that. Ken and Doug inspired me to try my hand at turning.

[@trurex007lee7]

Great idea for that wood. You more than just salvaged it but enhanced it. Your moment of lapse was a reminder to all of us to slow down and pay attention since it may not just happen to the “other guy”, no one is immune.

Gonna file that worm screw technique under “Do as I say, not as I do!” Holy crap dude! 😳 And what’s a millimeter? Around here we use Freedom Units! 😂🤣😂 Great job on Poo’s Honey Pot, looks good! 😎 I’m building a bass guitar out of Purpleheart and Wenge, those two woods are so insanely hard! Dulled every tool I used, every tool I didn’t use and every other tool in a 10 mile radius! 😫

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahahahaa, it wasn't turning as fast as it looked. 😂 I like it....Freedom Units!!!!

[@idrwoodturning2074]

that is really nice ,great idea

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you! 😊 But I have to give credit for the idea to Ahron. His link is in the description.

[@jacostyger7222]

My OCD was jumping up and down over the thickness of the wood and resin lines..especially the 1 resin line in the bowl. Your bowl turned out very nice, I do think the lid rounds it off perfectly.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahaha 😂. My OCD is tripping on it too but I couldn’t get the lines to be symmetrical at all. I’m looking forward to mailing it out LOL.

[@tohrmentrixabyss1713]

I came to the comments section to see if anyone had posted my very same thoughts. My brain short circuited when the lines didn't match up and the outer Wood patches were different thicknesses

[@strawberrybird]

Having seen it in person, I can tell you that the asymmetry isn't intrusive. It actually makes the bowl look less 'sterile' than it might if all the lines were exactly the same width.

[@hahahaha-cy9ik]

Dude alot of your stuff comes out amazing 👏 gives me so many ideas I can on hope to accomplish 🙌

[@MoonpieCreations]

Glad to hear it!

[@hamjudo]

The striped material looked very cool. So cool, that I would have used a saw to cut off the corners, so those scraps could be used in another project.

[@MoonpieCreations]

The shavings were recycled into another bowl.

[@melitimm8781]

I'm curious why sometimes you use acks polish restore and sometimes the ob juice? Also this is a sweet piece!

[@MoonpieCreations]

It depends on the look I am going for. If I want a super shiny look I will use OB shine juice. The wood will determine that also Purple Heart is very oily.

[@melitimm8781]

Ah cool. Thank you for explaining that!

[@donaldscott7279]

Bleeping nice man

[@MoonpieCreations]

😂😂😂😂

[@WarHoss]

Question, I've seen you use many different materials but what about some like pieces of a brick? Will it just just break up on impact?

[@MoonpieCreations]

I've seen bricks be turned. It can only be done with a grinder. The brick is too hard for my tools.

[@markhall1510]

Great choice on materials!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks!

[@douglassiemens4245]

I really like your woodturnings...very inspiring. The optical illusion bowl is no exception. You can really improve the quality of your overall videos by equalizing your audio. The music was a lot louder than your voice, so I had to turn down the music the increase the voice work. Also, when I was producing videos, I would often experience electrical interference, that you had with the loud hum. Usually it was caused by a camera or microphone that was plugged into an electrical outlet on the same circuit as a florescent light. By going to battery power, that hum was eliminated. I don't know you are experiencing the same problem. If not, well, it still needs to be eliminated. Again, I really like to watch you work. It is incredible to see.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks for the info Douglas. I have been experiencing some issues with my camera. The volume on it keep turning way down. I'm not sure how to get the hum out......it's my equipment running in the background. The camera is on a battery also. hmmmm. I'll see what I can do.

[@squeakymoma]

The pouring music always tickles me... Love it.

[@MoonpieCreations]

It's always my favorite part.

[@jeffroitero4266]

Dunno how I missed this one. This has gotta be my second favorite thing I've ever seen you make. After the honey pot, but I'm biased for that one. The purple elegance was another one I was really crazy about. The sorta abstract thing that's going on just does it for me, I guess. Maybe I'm just a huge fan of purple heart and I don't know it.

[@pamelawalsh8153]
