My goal is to inspire you -- Oh fanatic of fantasy, adventure, and Sci-fi -- to try that thing you want to do, learn, or make. Most of these adventures are through LARP (live-action roleplay) or film. Sometimes videos follow endeavors into learning new things that I've never done before. In the end, I hope to entertain and inspire people to explore what they are passionate about and be okay with failing sometimes. Kicking a little cash this way helps me update and upgrade my video equipment or fund future short film projects which will employ filmmakers and actors in the PNW. Thank you for coming by and spending time with me.
In order to "heat-shape" the pvc pipe, without it colapsing in on itself, creating unwanted kinks, fill it with sand! Just ordinary sand that you would find in children's sandboxes or the beach, DO NO USE ANY SYNTHETIC (plastic) SAND, it could actually melt, (besides, it's bad for the environment). This will fill and maintain the internal volume while you're bending the pipe. To help keep the sand in the pipe while bending, tape shut, or temporarilly apply end-caps to the pipe. Heat & bend the pipe as usual. Then remove the temporary caps, and let the sand drain out. Use a funnel, to help fill the pipe with the sand. One additional thing, make sure to use DRY sand, to fill the pipe. Wet, or moist sand, will tend to clump, 'make it difficult to fill the pipe, 'likely require additional heat to bend the pipe, and make it difficult to remove from the pipe. So, make sure it's DRY. And, avoid using "Magic sand". This is sand, treated with silicone oil, to make it clump & hydrophobic, (resistant to water). You want to use traditional, plain sand, ONLY.
This is going to help me a lot when I got to finish my Victorian inspired pirate costume for Renfest. I wasn’t sure how to get the shape was my problem.
That’s such a good idea!! I have so many old lens/ camera cases and some would work perfectly to transform!! The swamp witch case was my favourite, I think the nautical touches worked really well, I could even see that used on a pirate costume. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Your One Step does not sterilize anything. It's a sanitizer, so it sanitizes. To sterilize anything, you need to boil it at 2 atmospheres (121 deg C or 25? deg F---I think it's 151 deg F) for a minimum of 20 minutes. You need an autoclave (typically $10,000 and up) or what I call my PMA (Poor Man's Autoclave), a pressure cooker with a 15 lb stone.
Ya'know if you seal that foam tube it lasts longer, and that's probably why you have a few that have last a long time because whatever you did to them likely sealed them, even if only partially.
Awesome!! This makes me wish I'd picked up one of the felt hats I saw in Target yesterday, they were only 5 dollars. This is definitely going to be my next project. ☠️
Thank you! I was especially looking for THIS type of pants for my priestess LARP character, because she's a character who needs to be comfortable in heat. As she's my chilling due to disability issues character.
You don’t know how lucky I am to have found this video! I am in the middle of trying to make this same pattern. I tried 2 mock ups and was almost ready to pitch it. Then I found your video. Any advice on adjusting the size without buying a different sized pattern?
I love draperies as a source of fabrics for medieval nobility. Those fabrics are upwards of $40 per yard retail and a drapery panel, which often yields about 1 1/2 yards of fabric are usually $7-$10 per panel.
Not me, watching this at 1:30 in the morning, wistfully wishing that Bolgrin and Almashakis had had a chance to be friends. I was always in such awe of her. What a glorious character. I’m glad you found her again.
Look up permaculture and no dig gardening. Plant your fruit and nut trees north from your house. Do the garden beds facing east to west for maximum sun exposure. Act quick because when they kill the dollar and go digital you will be left without food
This is so helpful! I was going to build something similar for my priest playing friend, who is only allowed to defend herself, not to counter attack Great work of you guys!
I once caught a full thrust from a 2 handed boffer sword from a 300+ pound guy in the throat. Turns out the tip had worn through and I was hit by core. I think if it was a hair to the left, and it would have be hospital time.
I had to run to Redit and read about this because it's the first time that I've heard about "point and click" casting. I think we still use packets in the US because it simulates the possibility of totally botching a spell. But yeah packet safety oh that's a whole other rant that I could go on because I have come across people who have used plastic beads (big ones) or even marbles in their packets!
@@queerlydeparted7650 It's where you point at your target, after casting your spell, and call out the effects. The two difficulties with this is making sure the target is in range, and making sure they can hear you. The IFGS still uses this type of casting, rather than packets.
