Your Talent is fascinating. Too many processes involved for me to get a grasp on. #1 artist #2 input of the design #3 engineering of the design #4 precise measurements in space/computerland #5 actually getting everything to work correctly and mesh together. Amazing

thank you so much! It is A LOT to tackle, and the computer design stage is very exhausting for me. So many little bits to keep track of, and always trying to make sure I'm designing it as efficiently as possible while still being visually interesting.

Swap-O-Bob is adorable! LOVE this project :)

Thank you so much! I do love the little fellow!

So glad I watched this at lunch today because as soon as it was over I "ran" to your store and bought mine. Can't wait for more expressions!

You sir, are a creative inspiration. Unfortunately for me, I just discovered you and your amazing talents. I would have loved to have your tiki drink dioramas. Any chance you'd make a second run of them? In any case, I enjoy watching your videos and the amazing job you're doing on Fireball Island.

What a great design. I'm waiting for you to go to the lazer for your sculpt armatures. Someday, if you're of the mind, share some of the process that guides how you select your projects. I have to believe a lot of thought goes into each one from idea/first sketch and on. You make beautiful stuff. Mahalo

Oh, we use the laser for sculpting armatures all the time! It’s the main reason we bought it. If you look at past episodes I most recently did the Hidden Harbor Suffering Banana mug armature and the Lil’ Ammy armatures with the laser. In fact, we just cut a new mug armature today 💥

@@vantikistudio OK. I just thought it was interesting you chose wire and foil for part of the claw. Always interesting, and very fun, to watch the scuplt process...SO MUCH SMOOTHING. By the way. I love my Volcanic Vapor mug. Cheers and Mahalo.

Will he stay available for a while like the previous flatpack?

Yes! The goal it to keep him available as long as we can. We may temporarily remove Swap-O-Bob from the store if/when we run out of material while we wait for more to arrive

Hey - cool stuff! Why did you replace the Glowforge? Is the new laser more appropriate for production runs?

Good question! I go into detail about the new laser, and why we upgraded from the Glowforge in this episode: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2qIs7OBdLfRYbw.html
