    September 23, 2025 /

    In this video we do a little WELDING! This is not only my first time using the Titanium EasyFlux 125, but my first time touching any type of welder in a few decades, so let’s go through it together. I picked up this welder and auto-darkening helmet at Harbor Freight: https://www.harborfreight.com/easy-fl… https://www.harborfreight.com/7-sq-in…

    THE PRE-ORDER FOR OTO7 IS LIVE!!!

    June 9, 2024 /

    Before diving into making sofubi ourselves (and with Vinyl Wonder’s help), we got the ball rolling on having OTO7 made overseas in a well established sofubi shop. We just got the word that the molds are ready and they are ready to start production! OTO7 will be 5″ tall with moveable arms – and we even have the option to offer three different colors!

    This video shows how to make SOFUBI molds much cheaper and quicker than going the overseas route. This is not to take away from metal molds – they are the STANDARD, they hold up, they have been tried and have proven true – but the ability to make our own molds for plastisol / soft vinyl is very exciting!
