Thank you so much. I've recently started prop making with foam and have been very discouraged due to tears and unclean cuts in the foam. I'm ordering a metal ruler as well as a few of the knives used in this video, your techniques seem way better than the ones I am using and I am very grateful that I've found this video and I'm also very grateful that you've supplied your knowledge to myself and others who are getting into prop making. Thank you.

Wrap your blade jar with duct tape, all around, including bottom. If you drop it, the tape should keep glass and metal contained...mostly

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

That's actually a really great idea.

@xureality 6 лет назад

I use a soda can (with duct tape over the hole) instead, less chance of it going everywhere

@rasmis 6 лет назад

Or, as we do in Europe, sort all of your waste :-P Metal blades go in the metal bin. Glass in the glass bin, plastic in the plastic bin, organic waste in the organic bin and so on.

@xureality 6 лет назад

rasmis that's not the point. The point of having a can or jar of blades is that when you go to trash them they can't hurt anyone else with their sharpness, or slice their way out of trash bags

@JohnnyKronaz 6 лет назад

Ah, the unsolicited snooty input of the European. Always unwelcome, but always offered.

@wolf9545 6 лет назад

For the blue pocket knife style blades (utility style blades) when you go to flip the blade around, put an X with a marker on the used side. That way when the blade is dull again you will know the the other side (original side) is already dull.

@edwardrecord5305 6 лет назад

Have you considered doing cardboard, card and paper challenge? Using only a utility knife and exacto. I did this to see what the material is like and I prototype everything in it now. From lightsabers to destiny hand cannons. And a bit of poly filler helps get the correct finish. I use hot glue and pva as well. Thought it would be a fun challenge to see what a true master of materials could make. Keep up the good work :)

I remember doing a live stream about this EXACT freakin' thing. I'd glad you're making this video though cause you have a MUCH larger audience. 10/10 I always re-sharpen as much as I can before I toss a blade. Saves a decent amount of money, too.

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

@Zulfburht 5 лет назад

I have one of those mastercraft knives with the reversible blades, and they are so sharp that if you cut yourself they don’t even really hurt after cutting yourself. It happened to my finger and the only time it hurt was when i put it under water. Even when I went to get stitches it didn’t hurt.

@bag0k 6 лет назад

Those Olfa blades are the BEST. I carve a lot of upholstery foam for my projects and nothing works better. They go dull quickly, though.

@coreyscott9463 6 лет назад

I can't thank you enough for the tips that you gave in this video, what you deemed "the worst case scenario" was how I've been cutting, I thought it was the box cutter knife that I had, then I thought it was the cheap foam.. Nope. Turns out I just didn't have the right technique. Just lowered the angle of the blade, I don't think I've ever cut a cleaner cut.

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

@jdmznet 6 лет назад

Sanding the top (flat, non-cutting) side of the #11 X--Acto blade at an angle, toward the tip, can give you a cutting tip that is less delicate than the original tip. I would use the original tip until it broke (cutting out flexible circuits on glass) and then sand the broke tip until it had a sharp point once again. You can do that a few times before replacing the blade, extending it's useful life.

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

Great tip, thanks for sharing!

@CazM 6 лет назад

I've found acetone works well for removing contact cement reside from my fingers, maybe it will work on a blade too. I'll have to try it this weekend when I work on Shuri's gauntlets.

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

Good idea.

@alaskankare 6 лет назад

have you ever tried leather stropping? Basically take any piece of leather, and using the smooth side, brush the blade at a shallow angle back and forth, with the top of the blade leading, going....sideways? so the length of the blade is going in a perpendicular way to the way you are pulling the knife. I've done this with exacto blades, and its incredibly effective. You can use a belt, or other leather. Think of it as the old barbers, when they would sharpen their shaving blades.

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

I'll have to give that a try.

@MasterThief117 5 лет назад

Have you ever considered getting an ultrasonic cutter? They're a bit expensive but they're ridiculously effective at pretty much everything.

@natbathebat 6 лет назад

Hi! I'm a hairstylist as well as a cosplayer, and if you go to a Sally's beauty supply store you should be able to get a razor that will hold those blades. Just bring them in, or take down the numbers so you can find the right thing! They definitely make holders for those. And they're great! I hope you can find some! Online would work too. :)

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

Awesome tip, thanks! =D

@edmundschwartzadder5360 6 лет назад

Yeah, they're for disposable blade straight razors.

@Tactical_Fatty 5 месяцев назад

Are there any good points to using like a hot knife to hot wire to cut specific shapes into your foam?

@yoamal1187 6 лет назад

@VvTheMuFFinManvV 6 лет назад

Thanks for the Vid! Never knew to keep the blade shallow... That really helps. What are your thought on using a scroll saw for cutting foam?

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

You're welcome! The scroll saw is OK and sometimes it's the only way to make a complicated cut. It does, however, leave a fairly rough edge.

@xConsoleCapturex 6 лет назад

Hey Bill, your channel has inspired me and made me realize how much I like making props and costumes! Quick question: I’m really into making halo and Star Wars props, including armor, helmets, and weapons, so when should I use foam and when should I use my 3D printer in your professional opinion? Thanks!

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

I like to use EVA foam for larger pieces that need to be flexible. I'll use 3D printing for things that need an extreme amount of detail or precision. I'll also lean towards 3D printing for anything that I intend to mold and cast.

@VictorGarciaR 6 лет назад

You can find plastic razor blades on amazon. I know they are used to remove stickers from glass, or dead bugs from the hood of the car, as they are plastic they do not damage harder materials, but they are really sharp. I do not know if they work on foam.

@wakohouse 6 лет назад

@Magmafrost13 5 лет назад

@johnehagan 4 года назад

this was so helpful! what is your opinion of using a "hot knife?" i bought one thinking...foam....hot equals easier cuts but after watcching this i'm not so sure. seems like it could get gunky fast.

@punishedprops 4 года назад

I use a hot knife for cutting details into foam, like I did with this mask from Far Cry: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-buPoj7LVaEw.html I personally wouldn't recommend a hot knife for simply cutting foam, as the foam will react to the heat and the knife doesn't get as hot as a laser cutter.

@Viking1310 6 лет назад

Hey Bill, have you ever thought about branching out into other (stiffer) materials like foamed PVC sheeting?

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

I've used foam PVC a lot, when the need arises. For example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4NTw5AaoSJs.html

@nine_tails137 5 лет назад

I guess that sort of explains why my blade keeps getting caught on the foam whenever I try and cut angles. I already pretty much destroyed one of my arm templates on my Megazord cosplay. Guess I'm gonna have to re-trace a new arm piece and try again.

@drhud1524 6 лет назад

Persona are replacements for straight razors. The key to maintain them is to strop them with leather and they can keep for a good long time!

I'll have to give that a try.

@philipmcdaniel7104 8 месяцев назад

I know that you like the diamond and ceramic sharpening rods, but since you are using razors, have you ever stropped your blades?

@justinmorgan5073 5 лет назад

When I worked for Lockheed Martin we used to tape popsicle sticks to either side of the persona blades to use as a handle however you can get holders for them. They can also be bent to cut out channels or to cut small strips flush with it's adjoining surface just apply tape to the top extending past both sides to use it as a sort of handle while pulling the blade across your material.

@punishedprops 5 лет назад

@bastienguilbaud5768 4 года назад

How about a hot wire cuter ? Is that a good option ?

@punishedprops 4 года назад

It can be! Foam does tend to shrink away from heat though so, similar to a laser cutter, you'll end up with a bit of a curve on your cuts.

@clau2272 6 лет назад

Have you tried the Dewalt carbide blades? I find they are not the sharpest, but they keep their edge a lot longer than any other blade and they can be sharpened easily with a fine diamond sharpener.. The Olfa black blades are exceptionally sharp out of the package, but do not really keep it very long and if you resharpen, they are not any different than standard blades.

@punishedprops 6 лет назад

I have not tried those yet.

i found one magical tool for shaving and carving foam. you can find flat little 13cm long "brass kiridashi" knives for about 10$ on ebay. these things can hold a hair-splitting edge, and are easily resharpened with a cheap little 3000/10000 grit wet stone. not ideal for cutting thick material, but a you can get them sharper than a scalpel. (scary!) one already saved me packets of blades, shaving depron foam for flying wings down to paper thin edges.

I noticed you didn't use the Xacto blade to cut the foam. I'm guessing it isn't very helpful when cutting foam?

@punishedprops 4 года назад

It can be, but I find it works best for very small or shallow detail cuts, rather than cutting pieces out. The blade is quite small and so doesn't usually cut all the way through anything thicker than a couple of millimeters.

Here is a link to some blades you didn't mention but might be of interest. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009F6BMQQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are the 9mm but with a much sharper 30degree point. Basically like the exacto but in a snap off blade.
