Great video. I'm considering buying the mini phantom or just a mold and making my own insulation base. Thanks for making the video! Good framing and such. My camera work certainly could be better but while riding a motorcycle... haha
John Hawkins I store like shapes in gallon ziplock bags. They keep the flavors of other things in the freezer at bay, and reduce evaporation over the long term.
i'm wondering if you have any advice for dealing with the harvesting process. the ice is brilliant, but the problem i'm having is removing the mold despite waiting upwards of ten to fifteen minutes.
Manny Antunes I have much the same issue. I generally pull one side up as far as it easily goes, then the other. Then I let things sit for a minute or so (usually I take this time to set up the mold for the next job), and this lets things loosen further. In a perfect world, if you remove the mold before the lower reservoir completely freezes solid, it is much easier to remove the whole thing.
@@DAWinship thank you! i noticed that it seemed easier to remove when i was impatient the first time around and took the ice out before the 30 hours. never made the connection that not letting it go over 30 would make it significantly harder to pull out.

Beautiful, just ordered me one!
Just made a batch with my new phantom and it really works well. Best clear ice I have ever made or seen.

Can you approximate what temperature "warm" water is? Last time I tried I got it too hot because I had significant evaporation. My freezer is ~7-10°F
Do you have a method for storing ice in a freezer prior to using it? I would like to stockpile a bunch for parties etc.

Thanks for the video. Where did you find the brushed stainless steel for your backsplash and counter?
The bar top and backsplash were made for us by Central Ohio sculptor, Mac Worthington.
Douglas Winship Thank You. I love it !

Douglas Winship Now that you’ve working with Wintersmiths and other clear ice sphere makers for a while, what do you think is the best one?
How did they come up with the name Wintersmith...I'm only curious since that's my maiden name lol.... kinda cool
Nice shirt
Which one?
