What Happens When You Cast and Turn Metal Pot Scrubbers?

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you to everyone who has supported and checked on me over the last three months. This bowl has been sold. But if you’re interested in other products head over to my shop or check out my pencil bowl I just recently put up. www.etsy.com/shop/MoonpieCreation

[@susandavenport1051]

I just purchased this bowl. It's gorgeous! My daddy (80 yrs old) just did a number on his fingers with his planer. He lost 2 to the middle knuckle and the tips on the pinkie and pointer. It's been about a month. He's doing pretty good. I'm glad you're better and starting to make videos again. I really enjoy them. I try to remember to turn on the captions. Love your comments there. I'm looking forward to receiving my bowl! 🥰

[@terristroh3965]

@@susandavenport1051 congratulations on getting the bowl. I’m a tad jealous.I hope your daddy heals well.

[@susandavenport1051]

I just received my bowl! I am in love. 🥰 It's absolutely amazing!

[@MoonpieCreations]

@@susandavenport1051 So happy you like it.

[@TemperedStorm]

Welcome back, and you're worth waiting for every two weeks. I'm just glad you're better.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Yeah, that could have been a really bad situation.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you b

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

You know, one would think that you'd have learned your lesson when you turned a bowl full of pennies. But if you learned your lesson, you wouldn't be The Moon Doggie. Glad you're back, Ken. KZbin's a better place with you here. (Pro Tip: If y'all aren't watching Ken's videos with the Closed Captions turned on, you're only getting half of the fun.)

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha, you know the pennies only made me want to turn more metal.

[@frankierzucekjr]

This is very cool. I'd even like to see these scrubbers in a lighter color resin too. It looks very cool. I was also getting ready to ask about your hand. I'm glad you're doing much better buddy. I'm also glad it's healed up well. Your true fans ain't going anywhere buddy. Take your time, do whatever makes you happy because that's what really matters anyway buddy. God bless

[@f2pgamingcastleclashmore119]

ya same, i feel like itll look better. the dark pigment in the resin takes away most of the copper color

[@MoonpieCreations]

I guess I’ll have to do it again with clear resin.

[@jurriaanvanderlinden3605]

Mr. Ken, great to see you back and with almost all move ability in the hand. Big shout out to you sir! Loved this project even more, maybe because it's been so long. Who knows. I think it's a very right decision to cut back on making vids on weekly base. Family is so much important-er than likes. Although, I wish I could use my like button multiple times per video😁 Stay healthy sir💜

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you for understanding and the amazing support.

[@PltOffPPrune]

Great to see a new turning video from you, and the 'Two a month' routine sounds much more sustainable. Looking forward to seeing what's next!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks 👍

[@NunnSkull]

I am glad you are back and that you have chosen a less stressful lifestyle. Happiness is all that matters.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yes! Thank you!

[@freethebirds3578]

Praise God that you are healing, body and spirit. Glad you're back and enjoying your work and life.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

[@1954JDR]

It's good to see you back. That is an amazing bowl. My niece is a KZbinr and I will not put myself under that stress. I've had enough working as a Washington bureaucrat for 35 years. So, you take care of yourself.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks James.

[@NorseButterfly]

The shiny brass color of the scrubbers popping through the black and smoky colors of the resin, reminds me of a galaxy. Very nice!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks

[@jody2873]

Yes- DON'T get under pressure to do videos, etc! Nothing can take the fun out of what you love to do more then doing art under pressure! They look great!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yes! Thank you!

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Looks like a crazy amount of work but looks really cool Ken. I think on balance I prefer the copper leaf version, but perhaps that down to being able to see more of the metal pattern in the resin. Nonetheless, some creative work!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Now Ray, you of all creators can not talk about crazy amount of work. lol Every project you do my jaw drops. Thank you my friend for commenting.

[@denisemiller2650]

I never thought something that I scrub with could look so amazing! Beautiful job.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you! 😊

[@spudhead169]

So good to see you back and in better spirits. Thank you for sharing the process of creation of beauty with us again.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you very much.

[@cheriethompson7725]

Pretty cool bowl. I do resin in my garage. But not like yours. Glad to see you have chosen your family and are better. Have a great day.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks 👍

[@christeymg]

So glad to see you back at it. I understand about the need to free up time and take pressure off yourself. 2 videos a month is better than no more Moonpie at all. Stay cool.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Gibson

[@ConorMakes]

Ken, you popped smoke. smoke has cleared and your now back in the mix, such good good news. Without a doubt family is the very most important thing ever. Stay frosty brother

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Conor. I appreciate that.

[@reginaditt128]

Galactic sky and mountains ! So cool, love this.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Regina

[@PohlBarnProductions]

Nice looking bowl Ken, and to think you've been giving me crap for the last 6 months or so about not doing videos, NOW YOU UNDERSTAND !!! lol Glad to see ya back Brother ! Thumbs up as always,

[@MoonpieCreations]

Sorry! But your videos are what I watch on Friday mornings, Saturday Mornings and Sunday I finish it up and post a comment. 😂😂

[@turdferguson5300]

Smart man. When all this is gone family is still goina be there. The kids are goina be the ones picking your rest home You you can either get sponge baths from Bubba or Barbie, it all depends on how you treat the kids. Something to think about ! 😁

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha, I like spending time with the grandkids more than the kids. lol That may become an issue 😂

[@kalynrobison6192]

So glad that you're recovering so well. Beautiful bowl, I love the smokiness swirls contrasting with the copper scrubbers.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you very much!

[@5809AUJG]

Gorgeous work....as always! Pleased to see how well you're recovering from your injury. And slowing down a bit on volume is sensible and fitting. Your art will only get even better. Take your time, and don't overload yourself any longer.....you have excellent sense of your priorities. Continue to heal, enjoy less stress, take care of your family....and keep on creating the great beauty you bring us. You're an American master artist. Your work will benefit from what you're now doing. All the best to you, with my respect and admiration!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Wow I can believe I missed this incredible comment. Thank you so much.

[@michaelross8794]

I LOVE THE CLOSED CAPTIONS!!!! I almost always keep them on an nobody (NOBODY!) hides all kinds of bonus info in them. And, we got 12 pews (2 groups of 6)!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Michael. I appreciate your noticing them.

[@KismetSarken]

First....that was a dirty trick! 2nd , those pot scrubbers & the smoke effect in the resin make it look like embers from a fire. Gorgeous work Sir!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahaha, yes it was. Thank you.

[@jumpyspiderlady8454]

I'm so happy for you man. Glad you're able to change things to put your wellbeing and your family's first

[@kelvincolemanAnimal]

Hello Ken I am so happy you are able to turn again and your hand is getting stronger. I agree with you your family should always come first you do come across much happier it’s good to see you having a laugh my friend. Love the bowl I would never of dreamt they would turn out so awesome. Ps loved the T shirt a bit plain though lol 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣♥️

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

Can't blame you at all for choosing to take care of yourself. I think I'm about ready to decide the same thing with work, so I know how you feel.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Sometimes you just have to step back. I’m looking at a promotion in July and I will have to make some really hard decisions in regards to my channel. Not sure yet.

[@samtaylor6237]

I like that bowl you did its cool and glade your back from your injury. GOD bless you and your family.

Thank you Sam. I appreciate it.

[@margaretzuelke9761]

Beautiful bowl! I'm glad you're healing and helping the healing process by exercising your hand. Keep it up! And enjoy your family and take care of yourself! I could do with a few less videos because I've subscribed to SO many KZbinrs. I'm 12 days behind!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahaha, yes you are. Thanks for watching Margaret.

[@grambear8]

So glad you are doing better.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks

[@knotgreatwoodworks]

Thank you for sharing your feelings about your recovery and your KZbin tribulations. Allow me to encourage you to find that balance between your family and your woodworking. Monetizing woodworking can kill the joy of it. I know that happened to me. Woodworking for me is that non-employment activity that grounds my sanity and allows me to be a better person to those around me. I hope you find that balance. I will continue to be a subscriber as I enjoy your work and your videos. You still inspire me.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I totally agree. I was so burnt out before my accident. I couldn't find inspiration and really didn't want to turn. I am hoping that cutting back will help get the creative juices flowing again. A few $$ a month aren't worth that kind of stress for sure.

[@scottfultz5594]

Welcome back Sir! Good to see that the hand is all healed up.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you kindly

[@alisonh890]

Warning! The pouring music is back yaaaaaass 😂. Loved the bowl, lovely rich colours. Very pleased you are recovered and back turning again. Every cloud has a silver lining - I bet your family loved having time with you too! X

[@wilburhornshnoggle2619]

I've had issues with OB Shine and Frenchy's. It seems to bubble up after a few weeks. This has happened 2 times so far. Not sure why, maybe I'm using old Shellac or something. I've been using a coat of resin lately and so far haven't had any problems other than an occasional Fisheye/dirt speck.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hmmm that’s strange. I’ve had issues that I get a waxy film over the piece. I think it’s bad shellac.

[@CFGossettAbbasHealingArts]

Awesome sauce! You did good as usual. Love the warm colors and the shiny specks. Keep up the great work. I'm glad you had some time off from KZbin to regroup and relax. You deserve the R&R.

Beautiful piece!!! Glad to see you back at it after the incident with your paw. Family always needs to come first. You make the videos on your schedule and we'll watch 'em. I'm still trying to to get my wood shed cleaned up from the accumulation of crap that just got thrown in after my table saw trouble. On another note it would be interesting to see this done with a more translucent resin color.
