How The ‘CandyCan™’ Is Made (Video)
First up today ...a video!
It's been a long time since I did any kind of video - so over the weekend I thought I'd do a "How It's Made" for the new CandyCan™.
The video is just machining (with some music thrown in for good measure) - none of me talking this time! 😀
Oh, and I don't show the tumbling/finishing process in this video - just the cnc-machining part.
Also, the CandyCan™ can be found for sale here (it will likely be sold out - but please do enter your name and email on the page to be notified before everyone else when I next have some available).

Titanium "Twist" Pen
Very soon (as early as 24 hours from right now as I type this) the NEW Titanium Twist Pen will be launching on Kickstarter.
Die-hard fans have already been emailing me trying to find out exactly when the launch is - so, hopefully, this should be a somewhat popular project. If you're on my email list, then you will received an email when it goes live.

The thing about workshops is ...air is almost as important as electricity.
Not just any old air. But air that is ...clean ...dry ...and, of course, plentiful!
For the last year we've been struggling along with a very small air compressor that we were sure was going to give up any day. And, today, it finally gave up and died a semi-peaceful death (although it did make a weird metal clanging sound as as it passed away and started making it's journey to air compressor heaven).
Anyway, as a mind-boggling coincidence...
We were offered a good deal on a used compressor last Friday and we agreed to pick it up this morning ...and that was before our current compressor died. How amazing was that timing!
Here's the beast:


Never thought I'd be this excited about air! 😀
This compressor produces a LOT more volume that our previous one AND it's quieter to boot (oh, and it didn't cost near the $10k I thought we were going to have to spend initially). So, yeah, it's been a good day.
And I think that's all I have for you today. Thank you for reading. 🙂
There is something so cool about your “how it’s made” videos. A certain 𝘫𝘦 𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘰𝘪. It’s a neat little personalized touch that makes the things you create that much more appealing, I guess.
I watched the video on making the candy can. What is the purpose of the fingerprint pattern inside the two halves? Is it just decorative or does it serve a purpose?
I keep trying to buy one but I miss out. I’ll keep trying. Congrats on this project.
