This Peacock Bowl was Amazing Until it Wasn't

- In this video, I attempted to create a beautiful resin bowl that resembled the colors of a peacock. I used a dozen different colors. Unfortunately, the bowl flew off the lathe twice and damaged the camera. Despite the mishaps, I decided to share the footage with you all. Watch me struggle to create a stunning bowl and learn from my mistakes. Who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to create your own resin masterpiece! 🎨🌈
Please note that this video is not intended to be a tutorial, but rather a documentation of my creative failure. Enjoy! 😊

It’s a beautiful bowl! It won’t stay on the shelf for long. You’ll figure it out & turn it into a masterpiece.
I'm sure that a solution will present itself for this bowl!! the colors are amazing!!!
Make a couple forms and fill in the chip outs with resin and go from there. glue a block on the top and make a deeper mortice. It will still be unique. JMO! I like beer!!
Whatever you do with it, I know its going to be amazing
Hey buddy. It's not a failure. It is the way the piece is requesting a design change. Never shelf of shame only a work in progress shelf. Dam sure you will come up with an idea for its completion. Colours are amazing. Thanks for sharing Ken. Cheers
Bruce
Great point! I appreciate it.
It's gorgeous! I think a smaller version of a pedestal bowl would be lovely. If you make one, I will buy it!
Yes, put it in the shelf for a bit and go back to it with fresh eyes and enthusiasm. It’s got loads of potential, those colours are very exciting. 😅
All I could think of is peacock feathers, very nice finish it please 😊
I love the shape of that bowl. I know it isn't what you want it to be right now, but I bet in good time it'll become something super cool!
Keep going Ken
Definitely save it. Too pretty to shoot!
What a bummer 😢. It was looking so good. I’m sure you will revisit it one day. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Beautiful color!
Man, the intro alone deserves a like. Well done!
I think the bowl can be salvaged. It's really pretty and hope it doesn't stay on the shelf of shame for too long.
What a bummer. I'm sure you'll eventually find a way to fix it. The resin and wood were looking beautiful together. Glad to see you back posting!
Love the colors. I am sure you will think of something.
I hope so!
Commenting before video even starts. The title 😂 is me on every project.
The resin looks like what abalone she’ll want to grow up to be 😊
Really hope you continue with the project, maybe fill the upper damage with something with a stark difference (like a Pearl off white with a couple of the colors mixed in) and the bottom with some of the colors originally used in the project.
it reminds me of the Copper oxide Azurite and Malachite Great job there Ken Shame the bowl wasn't playing ball 👍
Hi Ken. This is one of the best things about this community - the willingness of everyone to admit when mistakes happen and, generally to explain how to fix them. You’ll figure it out. And I love to see ribbons of resin flying out over - someone else. Keep the faith and stay strong 🌞
Hey there, put more resin back on and just turn it into a lamp so it also turns too so children have pretty peacock lamps. You can always try again. 😊
Hi I think you should try to save your Peacock bowl by using the Japanese’s Kintsugi method, should turn out great
I l9ve when you shoot stuff 😂 but this one is to nice to destroy 💜 gotta try fixing it 🥰
Those colors are absolutely stunning together, Ken! What would the possibility be of taking off the foot and recasting the whole thing in clear resin. Then hollowing it out to look like, or make a fish bowl? I haven't seen anything like that done before, but it could look cool if it's feasible.
I think you should make it just a bit smaller because it is beautiful.
That looks absolutely fantastic, Great Job Ken !!!!! I am sorry it flew off the lathe, but in my experience that tends to happen every and then.
I don think it will be on the shelf for very long. Its a good looking bowl. Can't wait for wait u come up with! (Although I'm a little disappointed it won't shot. 😂). Thx and take care
every time the footage went back to real speed when you were turning i was expecting something bad to happen! i guess ive been conditioned by previous videos where things went flying 😂
Maybe you could pour some clear epoxy in the bucket again and re lathe it again.
I have an idea for that thing lol. Anyway looks good. Hopefully it finishes nicely when it is complete.
One too many beers!🍻 🍻🍻🍻 🤣😁🤣
too many beers LOL that never happens :)
Turn it on edge, put it back in the bucket, pour some contrasting colours and spin it again
Pretty good idea there. Thanks
Is it wrong that before you said it, the first thing that popped into my head is that you could shoot it? 🤣 It really was looking good. I'm sure that when you get back to it, you will be able to turn it into a beautiful bowl.
That's really too bad and I was really starting to like it. 😁 Definitely worth saving, the colors are really good and the walnut looks good with those colors. Really like the shape you were going for as well. Maybe just making it smaller would be all that is needed. The real question is whether it will stay on while you are doing that. Punky wood can be so fickle.
I totally agree! Thanks
Hey there, Moonpie! You gotta keep tailstock support on a blank, even when hollowing the inside of the bowl. Are your chuck jaws dovetail? They need to be, especially when expanding into a recess, and you need to take great care in shaping the recess. So how do you maintain tailstock support when hollowing the bowl? Think about it. You can figure it out.
I don't mean this to be a criticism. I've gone chasing after many a bowl. Tailstock support is key. I'd rather be in hell with a broke back than to turn epoxy resin, but people are different. My latest project, not of my choosing, was adding sprinkles to a wooden donut, so to each his own. I enjoyed the video even though it didn't have a happy ending. Thanks for posting. --Old guy
My first thought was 12 gauge but you didn't want to do that. Check out David Adamsen to see how he gets those out of a bucket.

LIKE👍👍🏼👍🏾 👍🏿 👍🏾👍🏼👍👍
Yup, just finish it. Basically another D.C.O. (Design Change Opportunity).
Pretty colors on that one. You need to finish it. Never quite…you are too good to quite.
You say that it's kind of punky. Have you thought about stabilizing it? I mean, I don't think that the cactus juice would hurt the other resin, nor the cooking temps for stabilizing resin. Maybe you could salvage the original design.
Have tried to use Stabilizing resin after casting before. The 200 degrees it takes to harden the resin causes the already cast resin to crack. But it's an idea to save the wood and may be worth it.
It is still beautiful. Just make it smaller.
Did you see that it was punky and you decided to seal it to save on resin? I was discussing the decision with my wife as it was happening. I guessed that it was to save on the costs of the resin since none of the resin choices are cheap. But wondered if that resin that it would soak up, would be better used to make the wood more solid or fill in any thin cracks.
Yes, I started think I should have mixed a 50/50 resin/acetone and soaked the wood instead. Could have hardened the wood.
I've never heard of anything like that. Or is that a Total Boat thing?@@MoonpieCreations
@@danstark3341 No it is just a way to thin out resin and let it soak into wood. The Acetone will gas of and the resin will harden.
Cactus juice first? Then it's stabilized, but not color changed.
As for this bowl? Maybe hand finish it instead of lathe. Not necessarily BY hand, but hand held tools, even if powered ones. As long as you leave no hard edges at the top.
recast the base!
In the end it will turn out cool, keep going!!
Why don't you sand and recast the bottom? Make it look like another layer. If you make it big enough, that could be the new top. As for the top, I would take it down below the damage. Your videos have come a long way since the early days. Enjoying them all
A little trim here and there and it will bee amazing, Ken!
Oh chit happens
Too bad Ken.
I saw you fixing much larger mistakes than these... This is not even a funnel yet :) And since it is already colourful, you don't have to mix the exact colour again for patching that chip on the top, almost anything is good.
Don’t shoot it…… well not yet anyway. When you take yourself out of “pause” mode and get back on it I’m sure it’s going to be an awesome looking piece. Sure a little smaller all around but So What. Like Mike Tyson likes to say “we all have a plan…… until you get punched in the face.” So back in the saddle and get’r done! 😊
Bummer, Ken... try, try again.
Absolutely!

Shame to shoot it! Patch the bottom with resin, either peacock or contrasting, your choice, obviously. But give yourself a break from it; surprising how a bit of time (and sleep!) can change our enthusiasm for a project. 😊
Exactly why I instituted the Shelf of Shame.....Boy I miss that Shelf of Funyons from a few videos back.
Bottom part was really too wide.
finish it. chips can be removed
haha, those were chunks!
It's too pretty for the Shelf of shame. Cut the base back it's too big anyhow, and use Gorilla tape (or similar) around the top so you can make a small pour to fix the top. You'll figure something out..
Come on master wood turner. I know that you can fix this piece. Too pretty not to.
