This reminds me future trunks if had a lightsaber.

After five years this is still an awesome video.

Is rhat a standard sewing machine needle? Thats my biggest fear for this project.

I was going to say, again, Respect Your Adhesives. Which you obviously do. But then, I saw the Mateba on your peg wall.

7:21 {giggles like a five year old}

Thanks for the encouragement! Im working on a small tool bag using a couple designs I have found to make the perfect one.

Quick question: What is the tiny saw you used to cut the pencil at 9:18? I apologize if it’s listed somewhere, I wasn’t able to find it.

Goddd mask

Now I just want to collect all those tiny pencils from mini golf courses and Ikea trips and send 'em over to you guys!

This is so neat, and inspiring! What was the other product for sculpting mentioned by Kim? warbouler? Thank you

Polyester resin isn't just smellier, it also never entirely finishes curing, it just slows down to a crawl when almost completely cured. Epoxies have less off-gassing, but they do off-gas allergens, so you need to protect yourself from those. Epoxy is also much less tolerant of bad portioning and bad mixing. Polyester resin that gets the wrong amount of catalyst will just cure at the wrong rate, and if not mixed properly wont cure evenly, but it will cure if there's any catalyst in the resin. Epoxy won't cure if you get the proportions wrong or don't mix it thoroughly.

Best video ever. Best guys

Как насчёт реального Российского револьвера РШ-12? Или он недостаточно большой?

How do you hook up the sword without it interfering with the paint job? Doing one of my first at the moment and struggling. It's fallen off the mount and snapped once already!

Eh, the world ain't so bad.

I built this helmet in 2017 or 2018 and im building it again in 2024. I want to check how much my technique has improved. Also, my original was rushed to get done for a contest the next day, and i didn't do all the recessed parts, just engraved the detail patterns. When i first made this, I confused the steel helm with the iron helm, and only caught the difference this year. So, all new horns, and include the chainmail this time!😅

What a nice little project, thanks for sharing! Hope y'all are doing ok, take care of yourselves out there.

You may not have had an issue with layers or need a "hump jumper" basically something the same size behind the foot that gives the feed dogs something to grip.

That pencil holder looks like it is made to be inserted from the bottom. When working and you often only have one hand to put it back it should be easier than putting it in from the top. Great video. Thanks.

Aren't those 1:3:5 blocks? Not 1:2:3, right?

Someone gifted me one recently, gonna start putting it on the bathroom or inside of my barbecue grill ahahah

For a distraction from reality I read manga.

What a great build! I put together a Tape Mate a little while ago and love it. Laura had such a fun idea for a utility I never knew I needed. A little project like that is great for fun and a little self-care. Take care of yourself!

did you make that last tuesday?

Picked up disc golf as a hobby. It’s an amazing distraction when life feels like a lot. And it’s great exercise.

One thing that just occured to me was the mention of metric and imperial tape measures, all the ones I'm familiar with here (UK/Ireland) have both on the same tape; is that just a here thing? Do other countries do that?

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

My favorite way to relax and be away from the world is to watch Punished Props videos. Thanks for all the awesome content all these years

I was wondering about using Chicago Screws to make it easier to take apart and modify (or fix) in the future. My favorite Way to distract myself, watch punished props make something neat-o. You may want to stitch closed the bottom of the elastic pencil holder. With repeated use the elastic will stretch, lose its grip, and the pencil will fall out the bottom.

Thank you for finding the damn clips! I spent SOME TIME unsuccessfully trying to.

Thanks for this Bill. This was so nice to watch and I think Laura would love that you upcycled that strap. Really needed this bit of positivity.

You take care of yourself ♥.I think my relaxing/distracting place is often cooking or sketching (often shields; I'm a heraldry nerd). Making stuff, I love doing but it takes a bit more energy to get going and that's not always easy.

If you wedge something the same thickness under the heal of the foot, it would struggle less. So the foot is horizontal and not tilting on a steep angle

Escape? Just diving in! *krrr* I'm Punk and I was politically active in my youth, so... Every day about one hour News from our Austrian TV-Chanel - small version of something like BBC -, for good massierend at least 20 min News of a German-France Art TV and to round it up The Daily Show. 😅 Just a word from Frend to Frend: Don't focus on your sadness, but on your strength and those who have about the same mindset like you. Yeah, the world is faild in so many points, but a specially for Americans keep on going with the Dayly Show on scream it out loud and jump/shake it up. 😎

I just stop watching the news and try to fill that gap with programming and watching creative people like yourself. :) Obviously I am aware that this is only possible in a privileged position. But if you can't really change the big things, it's difficult to constantly think about it. Just be kind where possible I'd say.

In Dutch a tape is called a "rolmaat" and mate means "maat". So a tapemate would be a rolmaatmaat

I make art when I need a distraction. I made paintings during the AIDS crisis, sculptures when my home country was taken over by the mob, and music when the economy collapsed. I'm still doing Covid sculptures and now with recent developments I'm starting some very angry paintings using blood and crude oil. I got a huge 3m*10m canvas to cover so I had better get back to it. Thanks for the nice mini project video. :)

we will all need a sh*tload of small projects in the near future

I've learned so much stuff from you and your channel over the years, but the switch to using those lidded containers to organize everything was the biggest life changer ❤❤

Please don’t turn political. I like your channel.

So. Couple things. You want to make barracks. This is done using a very short stitch length and zigzag. When you are sewing thick material use a seam jumper or substitute with your needle box on the back side. This will fix your thread tension And for the magnet of have just sewn a magnet where the straps over lap and box it in

It’s hard to start the sewing machine with the foot “uphill”. You can put material of the same thickness behind what you’re sewing to keep the foot level and help it get going.

Great little project. After the news hit, I dropped all my in the know youtube informants. 8 years is enough. Time to focus on the little picture that I can handle. Keep on keepin on .

If you keep whining about politics, I'm going to unsubscribe after years of watching.

To deal with the overwhelming news, I listen to music like "Nofx - The idiots are taking over" :D But this year my brother offered me a Meta Quest 3, so I discovered VR (that I had wanted to try for a long time, in fact, since the Oculus Rift), I discovered some stand alone games for Quest 3 that are cool but most of all I discovered PCVR games by tethering the headset to my PC, and discovered the holy Half Life Alyx ! You wanna get out of this world ? Try Half Life Alyx with the Quest 3 pancake lenses and a good gaming PC for maxing out the graphic settings and wow ! I'm at like 65% of the game and I'm still stunned. Also, Blade and Sorcery is a lot of fun ! And if you want to get out of this planet, the great No Man's Sky also works in VR ! You walk on alien planets and take your spaceship to discover a whole universe. There's no better way to get away from the real world ; ) You still have to come back to reality some times because I've tried living on virtual food and it doesn't work so well ! :D Stay safe, thanks for the videos as always ! Sending you a lot of courage to handle the situation because you're more concerned than me (but to some extent, we're all concerned). Cheers from France !

Hey bill. I have a similar thread cutter on my machine. I usualy pull from below and behind, going up and forward, int o the cutter. it`s straight to the blade and you don`t need to wrap it around like you do....

I like to retreat from the drama of the real world by watching this guy on KZbin make things. He’s kinda goofy and LOVES sanding things. Like LOVES sanding for real, it’s what he does nearly every video. It’s like sanding is his happy place. He should change his channel to Punished Sanding.

Why would I need a distraction? Why did he say that with a lot of emphasis? Veterans Day? I now see similar comments, what did I miss?

Yeah, yeah...binging comfort shows, over-committing myself for the number of Christmas presents I think I can make in 6 weeks...and in way more communication with friends and family. You're never alone! ❤️

My favorite things to do are watching makers on KZbin and watching horror video games also on KZbin. I also just grab some EVA and work on ongoing builds.
