Made a display for my Christmas Village using tools from the Hot Wire Foam Factory. Music from Free Music Archive, used with permission under creative commons license.
I was going to purchase a lemax platform but I build dollhouses, why couldn’t I build my own platform. So, thank you for your awesome and talented inspiration. This is wonderful!
There are much more detailed videos by talented foamcrafters out there than this, I can assure you. I'd be happy to link a few if you have something specific you're working on
so... Why the styrofoam instead of XPS foam? The price isn't much different, and you can use all the same tools, but XPS is more robust. (For the unaware, they're chemically the same, but XPS doesn't break into those little beads styrofoam does because it's extruded in a single sheet instead of being expanded from a bunch of little pellets. You usually see it as house insulation in addition to as a craft supply.)
They're not the same price where I live, that's for sure. Maybe they are in your country but it's not a good idea to assume this is the same all over. Here, I pay about 2.50 for a large sheet of styrofoam. I pay 12.90 for the same size sheet of XPS foam. And that's AFTER shopping around for the best deal in my country. It's far cheaper for me to use expanded styrofoam for stuff like this, though I still use XPS unless I've run out of it.
@@jenniferwilliams670 Looks like one of the "Hot Wire Foam Factory" models. Can't tell from the video what the length is, but yes, they're all heated tools.
