Glad to see you're back! Don't worry about your videos being "perfect" we' come here to watch you work just as you are. We're not looking for perfection, we just like to see what you're working on.
In a perfect world we could have TTT every Tuesday, but that implies a filming crew or you becoming more an steamer and less a ceramist. Keep the good work and make this videos whenever you can. They are awesome and we'll be here ready for them ❤
Thank you so much! Time management has been rough these past few months with the Zombie Mugs taking over everything, but we see the light at the end of the Zombie tunnel 😄
Always exciting when a new TTT comes out!! Also, I can confirm that I would happily watch a video of you just doing regular slip casting and talking about what you’re doing, even if it seems very routine to you since you do it day in and day out. You could even do a livestream-chill slipcasting to study to.
Fantastic! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a new video from you! I definitely hope for much more regular content from you going forward! Thanks so much! Lisa
Ha! It’s funny - I’ve been hesitant to shoot the glazing process because we’ve done it so many times I’m afraid it’s boring - but then I realize it’s only ME that’s done it hundreds of times and might think it’s boring 😂
Got to say I’ve missed these technical Tuesdays. These are very good ideas I’m definitely going to implement them into my spray booth. Thanks from Birkenhead U.K.
I so much enjoy each and every one of your videos. I can't exactly put my finger on why they are some of my absolute favorites but I think it's a combination of a few things. Your attention to detail and care in your process which translates to your work, and the feeling that you're a person who puts a lot of energy out for the benefit of others. It's a good reminder / inspiration for me that in my own (much more modest) home studio I should perhaps spend a bit of time thinking about how I can make it better. Maybe get rid of some of the bins of unused tools that are collecting dust first, then I can start tackling making some cute signs :).
For the bit try an o flute bit with 1 cutting edge - designed for cutting plastic. Helps the material separate nicely without melting back into position.
seconding this, you want either an o-flute, straight flute plunge bit, or a compression bit, alternatively do a clean up pass with a down cut bit, since you're using an up cut bit, all the chips are traveling upward, leaving a fuzzier edge at the top. Or use any angle of V bit to chamfer your edges. It all really comes down to finish desired and aesthetics, no real one answer.
Another amazing TTT Henrik! I’m excited to hear your going to dig into electric Kilns on another episode. Would love to hear and see how you maintain them, check all the associated electrical measurements to confirm setups and how and when to change your elements, relays, thermocouple etc. I need to do an overhaul this summer and could use some further insight. Thanks for all you do to keep us educated and inspired 😀💯🙌
Someday I’ll do the final step of lining the inside of the storage crate with the original box art! For now it is an excellent little coffee table in my office 😄
Things appreciated/observed/reminded of/potential cash makin' idea- 1. "ha-ha! ha-HAAA!!" 2. Somebody is still a nail-biter. (😝) 3. "Done is best." 4. TTT T-$hirts for $ale. 5. Even BETTER- officially liscensed VanTiki t-shirts. "Hey, brah, sistah, you no can get a mug? Don't be high maka maka, and talk stink. Be akamai wit' a Vantiki t-shirt! Dey da kine!"
Love the project! I am only wondering - what are the reasons that you'll never go to 4th or maybe even 5th coat in the process? 🙄 What experience is speaking against having a little room to expand from time to time?
Good question! I try to get a glaze looking good somewhere in the range of one to 3 coats - I’ll do tests of each new glaze in the studio to see how it will look. 2-3 coats seems to get the commercial glazes I use to match the manufacturer’s test sample tiles. For me pushing past 3 coats gets pricey as 1) it uses a lot of glaze, and 2) it means even more of my time in the booth. That being said, I am now regretting not adding a “4” to the sign 😄

Thank you so much! Someday it would be great to have a crew to film and edit - but I’m not quite there yet 😄
I'm always in awe of your organization, time management and meticulousness. Love the videos!

I hope to be making episodes more often! The Zombies are taking up so much studio time - but the end is in sight!
Thank you for posting! I'm sorry that I don't visit more often but these videos bring me back to the tour you gave me a few years ago! Cheers!
Luke!! Thanks for watching! I hope you and the family can visit again one day soon!
Loved this little adventure, but lets be honest, we ALL want to see what is going on with those super cool zombie mugs!

@@vantikistudio You, my friend, could never be boring.

I missed them too! Happy to have found time to film them again. Thanks for watching!
I can't tell you how happy I was to hear that music!
Thank you!! 🤙

Thank you! This made my day! You’ve inspired me to make studio time for shooting the next episode
Good afternoon , I sure enjoy your energy that you're putting into your videos , you have very brilliant ideas, and I'm sure happy to be here.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for finding time for us.. we miss you
Thanks! I hope I can get another episode out sometime soon(ish) 😅
Oh how we have missed Tiki Technical Tuesday! Thank you!!
Thank YOU! Hope to have a new episode sooner rather than later !
Good stuff! Glad to see you utilize Origin for this project :)
Thank you!! I love the tool!!
Oh fun! I love projects like this. Cool upgrade that’s functional and spiffy! Totally worth the wait! Welcome back!
Thank you so much!

Thank you !! I’ll definitely order one for the next plastic cuts!

Those are PERFECT subjects to cover in the next episode! Thank you for the suggestions!
I have always wanted to use this tool .. thank you for showing us more behind your magic
It is a wild tool to use - I don’t take it out of the box often, but when I do it’s always an adventure!
LOVE THIS BOOTH! But had to make my own and it’s great! Love the pop rivet demo. Totally forgot about them!!
Kudos on making your own!
Very nice contraption 😉
Thank you!
Great video..
busy is good
video come when they do, not early.. not late.. but when they were meant to drop
Ha! Just like a wizard!
Was just thinking about how I missed this series.
I missed it too! Hope to get the next episode up soon
"chopping up block" 😄
😂 - I never know what I’m gonna say during voiceover recording
Welcome back!
Thanks! It was so good to find some time to make an episode!
I really hope you can find the time to complete the Fireball Island game sometime! I’d love to see the completed game board.
Someday I’ll do the final step of lining the inside of the storage crate with the original box art! For now it is an excellent little coffee table in my office 😄

Welcome back!!
Thank you!
I wonder if a slider indicator, rather than a clip would work...and not move too much if you bump it? Might be worth a v.2 video! 🙂 Love this!
Good idea!
Looks like the zombie jugs came there to stay 😆
They have taken over!
If you use a straight flute end mill the surface will be clean.
Thanks - I’ll check that out!

@@vantikistudio that's more than reasonable 😄 I am sure in case of this dire 4th layer emergency a blue tape with the number 4 will be just right 😉
wonder if a torch would have cleaned up some of that fuzz.
ooo - I gotta test that!
Got any tips for wargamer hobbiests that want to cast duplicates of the units they absolutely-certifiably purchased?
