The Jack-O-Lantern 🎃(This Project Haunts My Dreams)

From the first time I dreamed about a pumpkin, I knew I was going to have to make a resin and wood hybrid one. This creations has all the qualities of a high-priced, tiffany brand creation -every project I make is a performance, every turn is complete with ups and downs and every time I finish I still feel I could do more. So come along to the thrill of a lifetime and see the making of the resin and wood hybrid Jack-O-Lantern.

Watch this video with captions turned on. You won't be disappointed.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha, you are the first to notice that. Well done.

[@CaptainRudy4021]

@@MoonpieCreations thank you

[@PlenusPotent]

Thank you for the recommendation

[@LostWhits]

I didn't realise that was a thing. This is the first of his videos I've seen, and I always have captions on.

[@CaptainRudy4021]

@@LostWhits i didn't realize it was a thing either. I usually don't watch KZbin videos with captions but I turn them on for my wife (she's hard of hearing) whenever we watch KZbin together on our TV. I just happened to have left the captions on when I clicked on this video.

[@NoTimeForThatNow]

Man, I salute you for sticking it out and making a beautiful project out of such difficulties!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you. I was pretty happy with the outcome.

[@dilynnvee374]

That is so adorable! Thanks for sticking with it until it was finished. Love your stuff

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@IratePuffin]

I really wish I had a grandfather like this to teach me all he knows!

[@MoonpieCreations]

My oldest granddaughter loves to turn pens. Not sure she will get more into turning, but she love laser work now.

[@disgruntledgrunt4259]

Another great looking project! I hear you on the resin strands. Whenever I'm using resin in a project I have to turn off my dust collector so as not to contaminate my wood chips as well they tend to get stuck and clog the intake. Easier to just sweep them afterwards.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Those resin shavings get everywhere. lol So hard to clean up.

[@crosscutturning8802]

Sir you knocked this month out of the park. I love the creativeness that goes into your projects. Your projects are by far my most favorite to watch. Looking forward to next week.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks a bunch!

[@Subguy686]

I am not a woodworker and have no idea how much work goes into a project like this but I can honestly say it turned out really well. Great job and thank you for sharing.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Awesome, thank you!

[@mandycorbett9634]

Thank you so much for showing all of the mistakes and problems. I have been feeling really discouraged because a few of my current projects just keep going wrong. It helps to remember that bumps in the road are normal for other people too.

[@MoonpieCreations]

You got this! I always found it suspicious that no one showed issues, but I did. That's when I decided to show my issues to help people know it happens. Thanks for commenting.

[@cherylcleveland3529]

The resin came out beautifully. Love this project!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much!

[@RyanNiemer]

I love it! Those colors are great and the finished product is amazing. I'm actually glad you mentioned what you used as the filler piece in the core. I've been wanting to try making something WAY simpler than this, but wasn't sure how to make the "core" of the piece, since it's just going to get hollowed out anyway, and for sure didn't want to waste that much resin.

[@MoonpieCreations]

You are so welcome! I usually use pine, but since the cost of 2x4s was so high I didn't have any on hand. lol

[@RyanNiemer]

@@MoonpieCreations thanks again! Subscribed!

[@amrogers4]

Love, LoVe, LOVE! I grew up in a body shop where things were mostly built, reconstructed, or put back together. I'd thoroughly enjoy a day in your shop, DEconstructing stuff in order to find the finished piece!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much.

[@amrogers4]

@@MoonpieCreations No, thank you! :)

[@tammycosby4495]

Haha, that would have been horrible. lol

[@PohlBarnProductions]

Fathom Eh gonna have to get me some of that for these deeper pours I do, great looking bowl Ken, thumbs up as always !

I can, with professional results, make anything that can fit under my sewing machine needle but I bow down to the true craftspeople of the world. You almost make it look easy.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Wendy. I would say the sewing machine is an incredible skill and a true craft.

[@glo8357]

I must say that this piece is adorable. Great job and execution 👏🏽

WOW, I can't believe 5 screws broke. Turned out great though.

I reuse all my screws. I should have waxed them. So I take responsibility for them breaking.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Killer opening! Best looking punkin' off a lathe this afternoon. No wonder he's staying at home, a really nice piece. ✌ 😃

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks James. Unfortunately I will not be able to do the intros anymore. My channel has gone flat and views are down about 80% of what they were in January. Been that way since April. Just can't afford to do them anymore. It's said, but it is what it is.

[@mr4bagger680]

@@MoonpieCreations you won't be doing any more videos? I just found your channel today. I loved the videos I have watched today. I do have a question though. Before you added the resin did you have to dry out the wood to zero moisture or stabilize it with cactus juice and a vacuum pump

[@MoonpieCreations]

@@mr4bagger680 I will still be making videos. I have doing a unique intro for every video. TotalBoat is more forgiving that Alumilite. This wood had about a 6% moisture. I never use cactus juice for my bowls. except for coffee beans

I love the reality of this video - imperfections not edited out! For that, I am a subscriber! I also love the Jack-o-lantern container! I made a wooden bowl for my mom of laminated walnut and mahogany, on the wood turning lathe in shop class when I was 12 years old. 50 years later and it’s still holding up like new! (So is mom at 91!) ✌🏼

[@MoonpieCreations]

My first lidded box was made from laminated pine in Shop class 30 years ago. My dad kept it until he passed two years ago. Now I have it. I'm sure your mom treasures it.

[@mariellecano6832]

I love your design concept. I never would have thought of that. Awesome job!
