Making a tiki mug

Sometimes all the inspiration you need is "hmm, I think I'd like to make one of these". That's the story of how this project came to being, and this is the video that shows how we did it. These will look awesome in the tiki bar...now we have to build a tiki bar.

WARNING
while the mugs are coated with food safe epoxy and we think they're safe, we have no way of testing this. For this reason you should consider this project display only if you decide to try your own. Do not consume beverages out of these.
