Flickering Fire Bulb for the WIN! Absolutely LOVE this build! Thanks for the more in depth explanation of how the Shaper works. I finally get it and must have one of my own! The Chyrons of Impending Doom™ are hilarious and completely relatable. Thank you for sharing the screw ups with us. It really helps people to see even the pros get it wrong sometimes. Speaking of which, I thought you were leading up to the ultimate irony of wearing a "Smokey the Bear" tshirt during the rewiring the bulb segment. My father would often talk about performing a "smoke test" to make sure any home electrical project was wired properly. Thankfully, your wiring passed with flying colors (as if it wouldn't given how careful you are!). More lamps!
Thanks Mark! The shaper is indeed a crazy fun (and sometimes frustrating) tool to use. As brilliant as it would have been, my Smokey shirt was unintentional (and thankfully I didn't burn down the studio) :D
Your words of wisdom echo in my brain as I embark on projects. Done is Best! You and Mrs. Van Tiki are always a bright light of inspiration in my studio. Thank you for sharing your art and process with us.
i think a slightly contrasting wood inlay would have been a good coverup for the dominoes shoeing on the mess up. or a resin infill. great lamp none the less.
Thank you very much for another great video. Like the flickering bulb better. Thank you for sharing even your mistakes. Hope to see both of you at tiki oasis.
The timing of this is uncanny,,, I'm also suffering from trying to make a perfect "widget" and hearing you talk about it has made me realize I just need to make the darn thing. Thank you for all these great inspirational videos!
Good call! The white bulb I put in is actually a Phillips Hue bulb - but I was worried that was a bit too complicated to set up for the gallery show so I sent the flicker bulb to San Diego.
@@vantikistudio thanks for the reply! The Philips hue bulbs can be setup and connected to via Bluetooth and can have all the features including effects with just the app and no bridge. Not sure if you thought they needed a bridge to connect to. Not sponsored.
Love it! I recently found your videos and I’m really enjoying them! I’m wondering if you could cut a piece of veneer the same shape as the lower eye area. That way you can make a second lamp with the front piece with the domino holes that snuck through. A contrasting veneer might even give it a sense of depth as if you meant to do it that way all along 😉
Thanks! The white bulb I had in the video was actually a programmable Hue bulb - but I didn’t want to try to get it working at the show in San Diego so I opted for the flicker bulb 😅
Your explanation of how the "domino tape" works is the best I have ever heard. It finally makes sense to me! The lamp looks terrific, and I love the flickering bulb. Good luck at the show.
Dear Mr. Van Tiki, just a helpful hint ok? Your work bench has Dog Holes, and I understand you don't want to damage your work bench so... I think you would benefit from getting a sheet of one inch thick good quality plywood, and boring half inch holes in a pegboard pattern (using a drill bit smaller than a half inch), staggered, to use some Dogs (pegs) and Wedges. For the Dogs, half inch dowel with a small hole drilled across the center of the diameter about 3/4 inch from the end, then saw a straight line kerf from the end to the drill hole. The drilled hole will prevent the cut from progressing the hole and cut will act so the half inch dowel will compress into the slightly smaller than the half inch hole. You can bang them in and pop them out using a smaller dowel and hammer. Once you have both your Domino Board in place and your project board, hammer in a few dowels, then install some wooden wedges to tighten everything together. Using a few dowels attached to the board and chamfered could key the board to the worktop. This would allow you to push everything tightly together and secure it in place, and allow you to chew up the sacrificial board. You don't even have to put a full pattern onto the working board at first, just drill the holes where you need them. Its an idea, I've seen others do it. Its easy to put together and use.
Thank you!! I am trying to maintain composure - I’m thrilled that you checked out the video! I love my Shaper - thank you for all the fantastic updates - auto pass is THE BEST!
Love that flickering light bulb!!! So amazing! Also, I have that tool and it did the same thing to me when I was doing some lighting wiring work. sigh.
omg. hahaha thats crazy. I came up with the EXACT same lamp bulb interlocking mechanism fir my own tiki lamp earlier this year.. (not trying to steak your thunder) Although, I use two tabs..
Nice video. I've seen that golfers tape on amazon that you used. But I never tried it. Now I'm not sure I will give it a try. Anyways I've messed up cuts because of tape/material slippage. I've started using wood screws outside of the cutting area(s) along with tape and have never had a slippage problem again. It messes up your spoil board on work station. But they're inexpensive and easy to replace. Great lamp. Great job. Good luck.
Thank you! Ug - the dreaded material slipping! You may not have seen it, as it happed very quickly in the time lapse, but I shot a couple of brads into the board with the domino tape on it to really lock it down
Make a tester out of MDF or something a little less expensive next time and then you can make the mistakes with the domino or suss out other issues. However, the lamp looks great. Well done!!! Regarding finishes, I use a beeswax/linseed oil mixture that doesn't stink too bad and leaves a really nice finish. You can probably order it online from Lee Valley Tools if you're interested. Flickering flame lightbulb has a nice ambiance.
Good call on making a MDF tester - I always feel like I don’t have time to do testers, then end up spending time fixing mistakes 😄 I’ll check out that beeswax finish! Have you ever used Rubio monocoat? That is another one I want to try.
@@vantikistudio I've not used monocoat. But a lot of woodworkers and makers on TH-cam use it. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in terms of protection. Blacktail Studios uses some sort of UV based finish. The beeswax/linseed is durable enough that I coated my kitchen drawers with it, but not so toxic that you are required to mask up to use it. That's what I like about it. Before deciding to pursue art as a career I worked as a cabinet maker and for a piano refinisher. I used many toxic finishes and so I try to avoid most of them these days.
@@dylanm3519 agreed on the avoidance of toxicity! I used monocoat on our house floors and it went well - and I love all the color options for tinting wood
We loved the flickering bulb so much we've been trying to find one! Please would you be able to post a link? It's probably a long shot considering this was posted back in July, but it could be worth the ask?
The flickering bulb is cool, but it's also got a color to it. If you use a non flickering bulb, it would look better with an orange or yellow color, or maybe even a red, to it rather than just plain white.
Easy, Flicker. The massive light leak out of the bottom is wildly distracting. Is it possible to black out the bottom? Opaque acrylic bulb holder for exzmple
Does the shaper origin self correct? I only have a standard router that i've been trying to get better at using, but all of the shaper origin stuff i've seen looks SO GOOD!
It does correct! It has motors that move the cutting head and compensate for any wobbles and user movement to over a thousandth of an inch accuracy. It is a wild tool!
I live in Tokyo actually, I'm curious if you have any ceramic or tiki related stores / shops that you know of or would recommend (other than Hands / Tokyu Hands)? Thanks again for another great video (and let me know if you ever need anything from Tokyu Hands shipped to you!)
OMG! We’re heading to Tokyo in October and I CANT WAIT to return to Hands in Shibiya! That is really the only art supply store I could recommend. I also got supplies from a local shop in Fujinomiya (where we lived), but I don’t know if it’s still around.
Nooooooo! Really a minor mistake, a matching wood plug could patch those errant mortises (maybe for home use). Important learning curve though! And teaches those evil perfection demons a lesson you are not one to trifle with.
I vote flicker bulb! that lamp looks SO SO GOOD!
Mahalo! Glad you picked the flicker bulb as that’s what I shipped to San Diego 😅

Always a blessed day when Vantiki posts!
😄
Flicker bulb creates the perfect atmosphere!
I agree!
Totally need that flicking light bulb! So cool!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Flicker was the winner!
Your words of wisdom echo in my brain as I embark on projects. Done is Best! You and Mrs. Van Tiki are always a bright light of inspiration in my studio. Thank you for sharing your art and process with us.
Thank you! Thank you for watching!
@@vantikistudio I’ve been watching from the get go. You are so generous with your behind the scenes work. Thanks again.
That Flickering Bulb is great in that. Super Atmospheric.
Thank you! I agree: flicker fire is the winner!
I like the eyes with the flicker.
I agree! 🔥
Fantastic project! I am jealous of your Shaper Origin 😀
Thank you! The Shaper is an amazing tool that I don’t use hardly enough! 😅
i think a slightly contrasting wood inlay would have been a good coverup for the dominoes shoeing on the mess up. or a resin infill. great lamp none the less.
An inlay would look nice in there for sure!
THAT LAMP IS AWESOME 👍. Differently use the flame bulb. Great job!
Thank you! Flame bulb was the winner!
Flicker bulb for sure! Looks so amazing!!!
Flicker bulb was the winner! I’m about to head to San Diego to see the lamp show - I can’t wait!
Thank you very much for another great video. Like the flickering bulb better. Thank you for sharing even your mistakes. Hope to see both of you at tiki oasis.
I hope so too! The flickering bulb is the one that we ended up shipping to San Diego
Incredible! LOVE the flame light bulb. Absolutely perfect! 🔥
Thank you! The 🔥 bulb is what got shipped to the show in San Diego 🤙
The timing of this is uncanny,,, I'm also suffering from trying to make a perfect "widget" and hearing you talk about it has made me realize I just need to make the darn thing. Thank you for all these great inspirational videos!
it is SO HARD sometimes to make that leap to actual building!
Definitely prefer the flame bulb
I agree! 🔥
I would use the hue light because you can have it mimic flickering of fire light and also change colors if you wanted.
Good call! The white bulb I put in is actually a Phillips Hue bulb - but I was worried that was a bit too complicated to set up for the gallery show so I sent the flicker bulb to San Diego.

Lamps are cool. Can't wait to see what is next. Flicker bulb was correct...or a programmable led lamp would work too. Nice work

I’m glad it made sense! It is a difficult concept to get across - such an unusual tool.
Love the fire lightbulb
Me too!
Yes to walking through fear, love the flickering light bulb
Thank you! The flickering bulb is what I decided to ship to San Diego 🔥
🔥 bulb. Love it either way.
Thank you! I agree that 🔥 is the winner
Love the fire bulb. Super cool lamp!
Thank you! Fire bulb was the winner that shipped to the show!
Love it! The super cool flame light looks best.
Thank you! I like the flame bulb too! 🔥
Beautiful -- I vote flicker!
Flicker was the winner! 🔥
Fire lightbulb!
Agree! 🔥
Flickering definitely!! Looks great
Thank you!! Flicker was the winner!
As always, a beautiful master class!
Thank you so much!

Fire bulb. Obvious choice. 😉🍹

You mean the wire stripping tool? Ug! I was so frustrated 😅
Fire bulb! 😍😍😍🔥💡

Thanks for a great project! Any thoughts on putting your plans out on Shaper?!
Thanks for watching! I plan on offering lamps for sale in the future, so I won’t be sharing the plans.
We loved the flickering bulb so much we've been trying to find one! Please would you be able to post a link? It's probably a long shot considering this was posted back in July, but it could be worth the ask?

The flickering bulb is cool, but it's also got a color to it. If you use a non flickering bulb, it would look better with an orange or yellow color, or maybe even a red, to it rather than just plain white.
I’d like to make future lamps with a flickering white bulb, and control all the color via translucent acrylic
Easy, Flicker. The massive light leak out of the bottom is wildly distracting. Is it possible to black out the bottom? Opaque acrylic bulb holder for exzmple
Believe it or not, I wanted the light out of the bottom and top. I totally agree that the bright white bulb was waaaaay too bright, though
Beautiful work!! Especially clever bulb attachment. Love the flicker bulb.
Thank you!! Flicker bulb was my favorite too!

And teaches those evil perfection demons a lesson you are not one to trifle with.
Good call on the plug! I’ll keep that in mind when I mess up on the next lamp 😆
i think you know which bulb looks better lol
Oh yes! 🔥
Flame bulb has a better glow at the bottom, the standard bulb seems too bright to me..
I agree! Flame bulb was the winner!
TIKI GOD DEMAND FLICKERING FLAME LAMP! SO IT IS SAID! SO BE IT! FLICKERING FLAME LAMP!!! .......or human sacrifice.
😂😂😂
Flickering!
Agreed! 🔥
You know what's more annoying about them both using "domino"? Festool and Shaper are owned by the same company!.
What?!
