The bugs were put in jars with a cotton ball soaked in lacquer thinner. They died in seconds. I wasn't cruel. I also squashed 3 ants on my desk this morning with my thumb. I'm a monster...

[@NessieFromTheLoch]

Weell... I think being killed, even if it's instantly, is something I'd rather not have happen to me. So I'd still say it's cruel yeah

If you feel that deeply about the cray flies, I would say this video would be better for you to skip. I don't think we will see eye to eye this.

Hi Peter, if you ever need to make a mold like this again: instead of wrapping the wooden block in packing tape try sanding it really smooth then spraying it with lacquer.

I just came here to see those blood suckers suffer. But I left amazed by your art, really great!

[@GreenGleem]

I know its not your MO, but why not make a mold already that shape?

[@GreenGleem]

I meant specifically the resin knob part, not the wooden cane. Or did you mean that the shape would have to be made in wood first to make the mold? Wood isn't ideal for making original positives. Even then, he could have saved himself shaving time. And a casting could be made any size you wanted it to be, even to compensate for polishing. As a prop maker, I guess I'm saying I would have gone about it differently. I was curious whether or not he had a specific reason for approaching it that way.

GreenGleem You're gonna have to shave and polish it anyway, so I think it's fastest to make a cube and then cut it, instead of making the mold the size you want it to be.

Nice work! I appreciate you including the ones that didn’t work. It is too easy to make it look like everything always works.

[@daos3300]

hot tip. make a mould in the final shape you want and avoid the messy turning.

[@barancetin7677]

8:15 in the ‘heart attack’ part you really sound like Robert D. Jr. Especially in his role as Tony Stark. Well you do sound like him generally but that part was damn identical

[@SithMami]

Lmao! You as the different characters in Jurassic Park--classic 😂

[@cosettedavis99]

[@5roundsrapid263]

mariodekabro Use a slice of bacon: Jurassic Pork!

[@TheMetalButcher]

He did do a beetle. ;)

[@TheMannyG]

5Rounds Rapid and a bacon vegetable peeler. Does that count?

[@ipissed]

Sleeves around a lathe is really smart, unbuttoned sleeves is genius. I know a guy that lost 3 fingers in a lawn mower drive belt that way.

[@denismarincas377]

I absolutely love the sanding process. I can't stand rough edges, I do not like the feel of sand paper or files.
