The Project That Shouldn't Have Been

This is the project I was working on the might I had my accident. My buddy dumped he wrong resin in it, but I decided I wanted to finish it. I think I knocked it out of the park.

As Bob Ross said there are only Happy Accidents. This is beautiful Ken.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Lol. He did at that. I believe in calling them opportunity makers.

[@jencstephens5452]

It's good to see you back in the shop, making art, once again. 😊

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you! 😊I'm hoping to find more time to do some videos after the New Years.

[@funo6581]

That turned out just beautiful Ken. I’m glad you were able to finish that project in particular. You’re back in the shop and better than ever. I’m still working on my recovery, I’ll get there. Great job!😊

[@MoonpieCreations]

Glad to hear you are recovering. You will be in my thoughts today.

[@normataylor3124]

I think it turned out great.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you

[@kennyhagan5781]

That thing is so far beyond what most people are doing on KZbin, and you have doubts? Dude, you have to have faith. I always tell people that they should believe in something, even if it's only in yourself. Thanks for the video, it was worth every minute.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Wow, Kenny. Thank you so much for the very kind words.

[@TotalBoat]

So glad you didn't scrap it! Turned out amazing!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

[@michaelross8794]

You know, that's a great project if for no other reason than...HISTORY!!!!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Michael

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

From scrap to someone's treasure. Very nice results.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks James

[@lindabrown2211]

Nice. Dont be to hard on yourself, the vase is awesome. I think wood and resin go great together no matter what shape or color. Thanks for sharing.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Me too. Thanks v

[@1954JDR]

Beautiful vase. Love the colors.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks so much 😊

[@glo8357]

Great piece, simple silhouette and good color choice especially the added black resin inside.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Glenda

[@jackthompson5092]

After all of the accidents, it still turned out beautiful.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Jack

[@staceyritchie7100]

I like it! It's pretty! Nice job!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you! 😊

[@raydriver7300]

It ‘turned’ out lovely as always. I love your work and presentation style. Good stuff, Ken and, as ever, thank you for sharing 🌞

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank Ray. I appreciate your continued support.

[@melitimm8781]

Came out great! I'm a big fan of recycling bits and pieces. I kept all of the screws from various electronics I tore apart and put them in a resin skull. It looked super cool.

[@MoonpieCreations]

That sounds like it would look cool.

[@qapla]

Nice job, Ken. I remember the accident. I can see why you just left it there. If that resin had just set up in the cup, you would probably have just tossed it out and done something else with the wood. This way, you have some accomplishment to move forward from what could have been an end to your woodworking. This vase looks great and, if you didn't explain why it was made the way it is - no one would even know because it can stand on its own. However, the fact that you took the adversity and turned it into something this good looking - I would not make a lid ... I would use it the way it is and proudly display it - never sell it or give it away. Looking forward to your next project.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much for that awesome support!!!

[@christinabishop2533]

As long as you are happy with how it came out, that is all that matters. Glad you are doing better from your injury, can't have a fellow airman grounded due to an accident. Keep up the great work and press on my friend.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Christina.

[@chicocash9668]

love it and my wife loves the way it shines

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much.

[@NehpetsNosliw]

Wow, that did come out really well! Amazing!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you! 😊

[@beverlym5465]

It’s really beautiful.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Beverly

[@steveschulkin8335]

Ken, all I can say to this piece you did is simply 👏. The colors are perfect with the different colors of the burl you used. It enhanced the beauty of burl itself. I give it 👍👍. Stay cool.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much Steve.

[@danielmukamal652]

Hi, sir. I just wanted to say again how much I enjoy your channel. You are a very talented artist/wood turner. I love your creativity and energy you bring to your projects. Thank you again for all the enjoyment you bring.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Daniel. Sorry it took so long to answer your comment

[@gaynlkohler4098]

I love the burl pieces in resin ❣️❣️❣️ So happy you got to finish this beautiful vase and looking forward to more!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Gaynl.

[@mysticwolf2842]

Out of a mistake came a beautiful looking vase. It would look great with some long stem roses for your wife, it would also look great with a lid on it. Mistakes happen the only thing you can do is work with it and you did more than a great job on it. Like the way you removed it from the plastic jug it was in.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Mystic Wolf. I appreciate that.

[@texanasimmons1761]

Its a nice vase for it to have the bad memory it carries. I think the coloring worked out well.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yes! Thank you!

[@Ofthe7thSon]

You should be proud of it - looks cool as. Perseverance pays off….

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Andy

[@jackstrange186]

This is beautiful.

Nice looking vase. Loving the camo look between the woods and resin. I think it is perfect whether you can see thru it or not

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks 👍

[@kenbeynon7706]

As always, love the work you do, even on your "mistakes". Great job yet again Ken, and I actually really love how the purple turned out

[@MoonpieCreations]

It looks amazing! Love the finished results.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I think it's Amazing 🔥 You can never go wrong with Purple & Scrap Wood 🔥 I like projects with scrap wood the best, all different shapes and sizes are very cool.

Thanks Connie

Haha, I still remember ours cutting himself on the table saw. He turned it off and calmly walked out.

Thank you.

[@saboomitz]

The vase looks great. The purple at the bottom and the black at the top along with the different shades of wood colors make for a very interesting vase. You will always have the before and after videos of your hand to remind you of that day. Take care of yourself and God bless.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Michele.

Looks great. Well done

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you very much!

[@amycagle6618]

Boy Ken, you really made something out of that! I LOVE it! It would have made a terrific urn for my Niece's ashes, just needs a lid. Anyway, it isn't on your online site, either it sold or you changed your mind? Regardless, that was a lovely way to move forward from the accident. Always glad to see you posting!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hey Amy, sorry to hear about your niece. It's hard when a family member passes. I lost my niece in 2018. Sorry the vase isn't up yet. I am having trouble naming it and I got really busy last night with a membership meeting at our local art gallery.

[@joallawestervelt6918]

Turned out really nice for an oops. 💕😊

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

[@TheKjoy85]

It is beautiful. I would love to see you do something similar but in a blue or green instead.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Ohhhh that would be pretty.

[@MarklTucson]

Cool project Ken. It really looks good. Your experience with the resin finish is a reason I have shied away from trying to do resin finishes. The auto-closed captioning is pretty funny when you are using tools. Although I kind of agree that at times the tools do sound like music. 😀

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha, I was unable to edit the cc's for some reason. I've never had a perfect finish with resin. But it is what it is.

[@terristroh3965]

I like it a lot!

In the end I did too.

Turned out fantabulistic. Despite the personal disfiguration event. Adapt and overcome brother!👍🤝

Absolutely. Thanks.

Nice recovery! 😉

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks! 😁

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

Fantastic work, Ken! I think it turned out excellent! Great save!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks a bunch!

[@Azurko]

I've got that same compressor and yeah, it's horrible to use while inside the shop. What's shocking is if I have the garage door open and step outside it's not so bad, but step back in and you can't talk to anyone (which I usually find as a plus).

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha. I guess I can’t complain to much. I found this at the dump and cleaned it up and it worked. This was years ago when I was just starting out. Now that big boy in the video is even quieter. 😂

[@maddieadams75]

Beautiful piece of art, nice colors and design. ❤ being this is part of your injury, it should be a satisfying accomplishment🙏♥️

[@MoonpieCreations]

It really was. Thanks for the continued support

[@CFGossettAbbasHealingArts]

Awesome Sauce!! You did good on the recovery of this piece. The colors are good and the wood looks good to. Great job as always. Keep up the amazing work.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

[@WoodturningWithJohnMarro]

Nice piece!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks John.

[@billmarlow3305]

you should try one of the rubber brushes for bbq sauce give you a smoother surface

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks for the tip Bill. Appreciate it.

[@chrisgiftshop3127]

Nice save. Love a save video. Btw there is no such thing as scrap wood just wood that hasn't been used yet lol

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha, true. I will admit that I burn or give away most of my cut offs.

[@margaretzuelke9761]

It's so beautiful 😍

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

I seen the thumbnail and had to watch this video. I do game calls like this. I actually put a couple blanks into the pressure pot last night.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Nice, I have a buddy who does duck calls.

[@kristibunny1620]

Hi hi, from your notes and things on thing it seems we process things in a sort of similar way. With that similarity in mine some crap happened in my past that lead to PTSD. It’s since been treated by a variety of means. The last and single most effective was EMDR. I’m not assuming this is an issue for you but if it is I highly recommend trying it. Hang in there, great to see you back in the shop! 🖤

[@kristibunny1620]

And the sooner the better! I resisted at first cause I’m tough and I really didn’t need to be that was just me being stupid. Please don’t be stupid like me that’s why I’m mentioning (or to anyone that reads really)

[@kristibunny1620]

Also holy crap that turned out great! 🖤

[@kristibunny1620]

😂 million comments this time sorry but normally me with light behind resin and thank you for trying the light! I also love black and yeah can’t do light with black. Maybe black shards in lightly tinted colors would look cool though. Another take on stained glass.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hey Kristi, I appreciate the info. I have PTSD from issues in the military. I found after years of issues and incidents that no person is an island and reach out for help before I did something drastic didn’t show weakness. I’ve been getting help for a few years now. It’s an ongoing process and They are trying many programs. EMDR was one they tried a while back.

[@williamellis8993]

For a save of a mistake, it turned out great. It was great for any project anyway. Not much in the CC this one. Bill

[@MoonpieCreations]

There is an issue with the cc's today. They won't let me edit them.

[@onhandart]

I think it looks great. Personally, I like to be able to see the "artist's hand" in a piece, so the imperfections add to the story and are kind of snapshot of the work in progress.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Another stunner. How do you deal with the epoxy dust? Are you wearing an Airstream Helmet or just a respirator?

Hey John. I wear a Zmask with carbon filter. I just sweep it up.

[@StormHerald3D]

It's a great save really liked the video, just wondering the powder said fluorescent purple was that just the name of the color or does it glow under black light?

[@MoonpieCreations]

It does glow under black light. Thanks for the reminder.

So true. Thanks.

[@seaboe1muffinchucker]

would a foam brush leave fewer lines in the resin topcoat?

[@jamesstuart4217]

Beautiful project, but my only question is that if this was for money how could you possibly make any profit, I turn for enjoyment myself so I hardly ever sell anything, but if I wanted to how would you go about doing that on something like this.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Really depends on who you sell too. I sell most of my items to people in NY, Virginia, Oregon. and a few other places. Locally, I sell maybe one or two pieces a year as this price point for my pieces is high than the market will bare. I can discuss my pricing via email if you would like. [e-mail]

[@tuguybear930]

I think the colour is crimson.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Could be. I have never been good at the names of colors. lol

[@claudemireault5699]

Can you please tell me .What did you use for a finish ? Thanks.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I used TotalBoat 2:1 resin for the finish.

[@tommywalker77]

Don’t get cut up this time looks good to me

Hopefully never again.
