Incredibly rewarding bringing a functioning project to completion. I don't think I've done one project without some minor mistake along the way. It only adds to your wheelhouse of knowledge. I love your videos!

@@vantikistudio My guess is that you did just a little pre-measuring😉

I've been there with the tight fit.. Make sure to cut "male" parts first and always dry-fit them to the "female" parts before you remove them from the table. If too tight just adjust (typically increase) your offsets before thinking your done with the Origin.. dry-fit again until perfection.

I actually laughed out loud in my office when the "Ominous Foreshadowing" chyron popped up! Having miscalculated on more than one wood working project, I had a decent idea of what was to come! 😂 Another fantastic project video and a beautifully designed piece that will no doubt last you a lifetime!! Given its proximity to splashing liquids will you be coating it with polyurethane sealer or shellac?

@vantikistudio

2 жыл бұрын

I was both dismayed and happy to have caught so many mistakes on video 😂. I debated sealing the wood - but then I ran out of time 😅 Perhaps next weekend?

Nice work but you need to come back to Hawaii to remind yourself what “old and corroded” really means. The original motor mount looked pretty good to me.

@vantikistudio

2 жыл бұрын

Ha! You never saw the motor mount - the bracket you see me bolting on was mostly ok, but the actual powder coated mount had to be pryed off with a crowbar and totally disintegrated into a pile of rust flakes 😂

Question on what you use for your type on the bottoms of your cups ? How all that is set up would be a great video too, thanks

@@vantikistudio That's funny. I sometimes feel the lure of a shaper origin. But then again it's a bit expensive for what I'll be using it for. Also, never underestimate the more classical techniques compared to CNC. CNC is a lot of setup and preparation, hardly worth the effort if you make but one piece. The shaper origin is probaly somewhere in between, being able to do the setup intuitively and on the fly.

So I have recently taken on the honor of spearheading a new tiki bar concept in Clearwater Beach, FL, and during my research of tiki mugs it spoke to my artistic side and I fell in LOVE and then I found your page! But I have one question that I haven't seen you touch on. Your "Van Tiki" stamp found on the bottom of your mugs! Is this something detailed each mug? Or do you have a "stamp" that you press? Thank you for the amazing insight so far!
