Workshop Status Report – 14 August 2026

Thank you for your continued patience, loyalty, and support.

Here is the latest update from the workshop on production progress and current developments.

VAULTMAZE & Other Projects

This week, Charlie has continued the design work on the remaining VAULTMAZE rings.

There are no changes to report on repairs this week.

The brass bar ordered to fulfil the next 40 brass mazes arrived on Monday, along with our replacement 1.5 mm cutter.

Leaving the Workshop

Mazes will still be shipped this week, with orders due to leave the workshop on Saturday.

Due to staff availability, mazes are currently being picked, assembled, and packed, so there isn’t a final shipping list to share just yet.

We’ll provide a supplementary update on Monday with details of what has left the workshop.

Small Updates

This week contains a variety of smaller updates behind the scenes at HQ.

Chris has made the decision to consolidate all REVOMAZE items in one place. Rather than using an off-site storage unit and making journeys to collect and drop off items, everything will soon be stored at HQ for greater convenience.

The order of operations for machining Lites has also changed slightly.

Diamond cutting is now being completed before the cuts for the O-rings, allowing for a higher degree of accuracy. Previously, the cuts were found to be slightly out of specification, so this change should help improve consistency.

Workshop Update

This week has seen a small but much-needed improvement to the workshop.

Due to the extreme heat currently affecting the area, temperatures inside the workshop had reached around 34°C (93.2°F).

At these temperatures, the compressor was close to shutting down, which would have caused downtime in machining.

To prevent this and improve ventilation and cooling, Chris has installed a larger fan in the workshop door.

This has already made a significant difference, bringing the workshop temperature down to around 25°C (77°F).

Chris and Charlie have also discovered that they can program the machine using a separate device. This means they can work from a cooler environment while allowing the machine to continue operating uninterrupted.

Our Commitment

We remain committed to transparency, quality, patience, community, and progress.

We’ll keep sharing honest, regular updates, never compromise on craftsmanship, give every puzzle the time and care it deserves, put our community at the heart of what we do, and continue building something special together.

Thank You

Thank you for being part of the REVOMAZE journey.

The best is ahead.
