I hate to be a bad news Bear. But I think your shop website is broken. Have been trying and trying and keep getting 504 error. Have tried home wifi, work internet, cell phone data, ECT (so I know its not just a my connection thing)

[@snouty2005]

Holy cow, that green LED addition was a sharp turn I wasn't expecting. Way to up the level of complexity bro :D

[@snouty2005]

OH! and then you went and remade the handle in wood!! haha very very nice but way above my pay grade :D

[@punishedprops]

Punished Props is the only reason I look forward to Monday mornings

[@C3DPropShop]

That magnet switch is the perfect answer for a prop I'm building! Thanks Bill!

[@punishedprops]

Hey that's great!

[@daveakerscustoms1194]

A small detail from a revolver shooter: on the cylinder the "T" shaped indents are where the cylinder locks into the frame. Cylinders develop a polished band from rotating against the spring loaded pin in the frame. Just one of those little extra realism details. Thank you for making such fantastically entertaining content!

[@punishedprops]

That's a really great bit of detail, thanks for sharing! =)

[@nealleffler4267]

That weathering pass is so satisfying to watch

[@punishedprops]

It's always one of the most fun parts of a build.

[@kristacohen8210]

It is such a delight to see process videos where the maker points out mistakes they've made. It's more helpful and realistic than editing them out as if they don't happen.

[@punishedprops]

We try to do that as often as we can!

[@NoobieTaco]

I am so glad Bob from I like to make stuff reminded me about you guys. I was subscribed on my old account and then forgot to resubscribe after I switched to this one. Now I can catch all the amazing prop content again.

You're very welcome Brian! =)

[@matthewkapala9243]

This video was worth the wait, everything on this turned out amazing! It's wild what just one weathering pass like that can do. Thanks for sharing this with us, can't wait to see what's next. (The mystery of the lighted bullets is solved too; That approach to use the magnets to complete the circuit is super-clever.)

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much! =)

[@skoue4165]

As a sound person for decades I appreciate that you care about your sound quality. And I am glad you showed that last bit maybe some other folks on KZbin will pay a little attention to their soundtracks!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks! We put a lot of work into making sure our videos sound great. =)

[@jchunick]

Fantastic build! Loved the whole section with the LEDs as I used to prototype LED pieces for a miniature rpg terrain company. One of the prototypes I originally created involved soldering wires to tiny neodymium magnets just like you have and discovered the same issue with demagnetizing due to heat. We eventually went with a socket system. One of the little tricks I used with ensuring magnets were aligned properly afterward is to use a marker to mark the faces that connected.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks for the tips Joshua!

[@FriendlyWire]

My favorite prop are the time circuits from Back to the Future, I hope to build them some day! Thanks for the great video!

[@punishedprops]

Oh yeah that would be a super fun build!

​@@punishedprops On my KZbin channel I work on electronics for beginners and I hope I will be able to tackle that project soon :)

[@enclavecomms.officer5219]

Whoever's idea it was for the ikea instruction manual, I love you

[@ambsquared]

I love the light system you made for the bullets. To make it easier to get the magnets slightly protruding to make contact, model in a slight standoff in the discs to keep the magnets above the surface. You can sand the standoffs down once the magnets are set. Also could round them a little and put an indentation in the opposite plate to give them a mechanical key along with the magnetic fit. Another option would be to have the top contacts spring fit and just the 2 magnets to hold the plate down.

[@punishedprops]

All great ideas, thanks for sharing!

[@thecreatorlair]

Honestly, this is my dream movie prop, too. The design is so clean and slick and fits perfectly in the universe it was made for. This prop is probably second, if not tied, with making my own lightsaber.

[@MrTanekron]

I gotta say: the way Bill explains everything and gets so excited about the props, is really contagious! Man, every time I watch one of your videos, I feel this URGE to build stuff! xD

Yay! Bill's back! My dream prop is pretty obscure. It's a time machine key from a 1979 movie called Time After Time.

[@punishedprops]

That * is* obscure! I've never heard of it. Pretty neat though. =)

[@coregeek]

Great job with the bullet lights. This was so much fun to watch. It turned out amazing. Also love seeing how the kit was engineered. Harrison really knocked it out of the park. Now I need to come see this in person!

[@wesallen3926]

Dear Bill. I just wanted to say that Prop design and modification is one of my passions but I do not currently have the income to follow my dreams, So I love to watch your videos and live vicariously through you. You always seem to get that feeling like a kid in a candy shop and it totally shows through in your videos in such a way that gives me that same feeling. it's obvious that you love tinkering with props, and watching your videos I can feel that passion shining through with every scratch of sandpaper, every brushstroke, every little pat of rub and buff brings with it a sense of anticipation and a tremor of excitement. That is what makes you such an amazing content creator and always keeps me coming back for more, Sometimes I'll even watch the same video more than once and it never gets old. I always look so forward to getting to sit down and watch your videos. That High I get while watching you just makes my day, sometimes even my whole month.

[@punishedprops]

Well that's really fantastic to hear! We appreciate your support so much and hope you get to dive into your passions soon too!

[@FigmentsMade]

It looks so cool! That weathering always just makes it all come together. *chef's kiss*

[@punishedprops]

Yeah it's that wonderful last touch that really seals the deal.

[@LukeBeks]

that magnet bullet switch contraption is SO COOL!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@maxjpind]

Awesome job! One of my favorites. Just a helpful tip from a woodworker, the next time you make a sword/knife/handgun grip, you might find that if you cut the wood so that the grain runs vertically (aka along the length of the grip) instead of horizontally you might find that it is more esthetically pleasing (but also stronger if it were a real firearm/weapon). Thanks for the vid,

[@punishedprops]

Thanks for the tip!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks for the heads up! =)

[@Datrebor]

That is SO cool looking. You did an amazing job building it and making it even better with the lights and aging it.

[@punishedprops]

Thank so you much! Credit for the original fabrication goes to my pal Harrison over at Volpin Props :)

[@TheRealAlpha2]

I love that this includes a spring for the trigger. I know some conventions don't like you to have gun props with moving triggers through even if the weapon doesn't fire, so it might be an issue if you use it as a cosplay replica, but great for just flexing at home.

[@punishedprops]

Also, this trigger is held in with a pin. If I wanted to, I could totally take the trigger out if I wanted to take it to a convention.

[@mattinkel7342]

Yep thats a beautiful kit..I was suprised the bullets casings were not hollow and the bullets lipped to fit inside... love the 3d printed LED mod. Wonderful prop all rounnd!

[@patrickstaresina3902]

Thanks much, Bill! I picked up a Good Samaritan from Volpin, and followed your guide. It looks freaking awesome! But I couldn't get the casings right for LEDs. Thanks again. Love your work!

[@punishedprops]

That's awesome! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@DoRC]

Cool! One thing to be aware of is it doesn't look like the solder actually wet on the magnet which means it's not adhered very well and the joint will likely fail over time. Cleaning the surface of the magnet and using a good quality soldering flux will help with that issue.

[@punishedprops]

Yeah I ended up tinkering with them a lot off camera to make sure the joint was good and solid. It took a lot of trial and error.

[@DoRC]

@@punishedprops soldering is an art.

[@dembuttox]

I love these videos so much! They have inspired me to pursue a career in Prop making. This project was super cool. I think that if he added some black paint as "gun power burns' at the end of the barrel and where the bullets are it would have really sold the effect of it being a real gun. I still think that it looks amazing. Keep up the amazing work guys!

[@punishedprops]

Great idea with the gun powder burns! A flat black paint would work really well. Thanks! =)

To not risk demagnetizing, you could use some electrically conductive glue to attach the wires to the magnets, I would still use solder for the other connections though

[@skoue4165]

Nice, using "magnet wire" to solder to magnets! Padauk is a very oily wood. Something like Oak or Maple wouldn't have clogged up your tools. Also something to be aware of is that most exotic hardwoods have fairly toxic saps (to keep insects from devouring them) so the sanding dust can be hard on your lungs. All dust is hard on the lungs but the exatics can actually get you in the emergency room. On the up side they look fantastic! If you want to try "hard" wood get a piece of ebony! Like working with a hunk of steel.

[@punishedprops]

Ooh yeah I know that it's a bad idea to just run weird hardwoods through a laser cutter for fear of vaporizing toxic chemicals. I was really good about dust collection when I was working on the padouk.
