On a scale of 1-10, I give this build a solid Groovy.

Your timing Couldn't Be Better I'm building one off of the same thing so I needed this

[@Mickocarbomb]

I've already had one built. this one's cool and all but mines made with a hallowed out hoplite with and electric motor to spin the blade. and it's got a real blade but I've dulled it slightly so no harm comes to anyone that touches the blade

[@jonahhex6593]

Raging Fatass yea mine needs to be a convention piece so it can make noise but it can't move

[@animalntaz]

I once dressed up as Ash in full get up for Halloween after 9/11 happened. I spent over $50 to make the cheap costume and headed to work at the mall like that. After I finished my shift, security recognized my outfit and told me they've received a few complaints about me and told me next time to keep it in a bag. I didn't think my fake shotgun and chainsaw looked that convincing, but I later won a prize for best costume at a club.

Why did you have to mention 9/11?

[@The-kr9rb]

[@Nordic1337]

One of my dream cosplays is Ash with the chainsaw hand, but at the Renaissance Festival like Army of Darkness. I'll have to try this build!

[@antonioussykas4140]

How do I cut my hand off without bleeding to death?

[@ando4555]

Cauterize the stump.

[@ventus5628]

That Guy dude had his hand possessed by a deadite, I wouldn’t be surprised if he wouldn’t feel any pain after that

[@eazy2lawyer851]

The way I once did a hand off effect was I put my hand in a fist and put a sock over it. Cover just the top in fake blood and a little bit of liquid latex for the flesh and then cover the sides in makeup that’s your skin tone. It looks awesome and it’s effective

[@DaRichMan]

Hail to the king, baby!

[@AwesomeSauceShow]

Hail

[@TheWayoftheSith]

That moment when you realize your childhood heroes turn out to be conservative... they always got this genuine feeling & thats because they are freedom loving, humble, generous, they love their family and their country. Thats where it comes from.

That is so cool, this made me wanna become a prop designer/builder.

[@originoflogos]

First Tamera, and now james. I swear, Doug better review one of the Evil Dead movies for this Nostalgiaween!!!!!!

[@enriqueprieto2922]

Not sure about a review. Maybe an old vs new between Evil Dead '81 and 2013 at most

[@guybrushmonkey97]

I was suggesting it a few videos ago! Hope it happens!

[@wayneigoe6722]

Please be Army of Darkness!

[@ItWILLbeWONDERFUL_THERE]

That WOULD be GOOD!

[@paulrodriguez3757]

I SWEAR IF IT DOESNT FUCKIN LEAD UP TO ANYTHING IM GOING TO BURN DOWN THE PLANET!!!!!!!....or just be bummed..

[@xKingReyx]

I made this exact chainsaw 3 years ago. Awesome. Just dont let Bruce Campbell see it. He will make fun of you, trust me I know from experience. lol Great Build!

[@soggycheesefry]

Oh my gosh I'm meeting Bruce later this year at a convention with this chainsaw, what did he say about it?

[@theshockmonster8421]

What did he say?

[@alexpennymeme1905]

I had the pleasure of meeting Brucy boy a few days ago, he called me "dawg" :D

[@MiscellaneousSoup]

Holy moly. Is there anything you can't do? You're awesome!

[@metalinyourhead3604]

This was by far the best tutorial. I’ll definitely use this to build my own.

[@tchrmart1n]

Yes!!!That's the way we want them, with the whole work process displayed!Thank you, it was a joy.

[@SpideyFan-onst]

If Doug ever does an Evil Dead Month, he needs to have Jim Jaoroz as Ash.

[@ecrowmix]

Gotta to love his work, if I had all the resources, I'd build one too.

[@darklordofsword]

aspiring prop maker here; thanks so much James, for doing these. Between you and the DIY prop-shop folks on Awe me, I've learned so much. I'm still working with solid props, swords and the like, but I've begun planning some designs that will include triggered lights! can't wait to see what you have in store next

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

Wow! This really brings me back, considering that, about two years ago, I personally made myself a chainsaw hand when I dressed as Ash for Halloween! Of course, I just took a toy chainsaw, wrapped the handle with cardboard, and stuffed the cardboard with newspaper.

[@zae_thefilmman]

My suggestion actually made it! Very happy with what you turned out for this one, Jim. I've seen that chainsaw at the Halloween store for about $40 so hopefully I can get my hands on it soon. And not get them cut off in the process.

[@colossalman]

This looks great, it will save me a lot of headache from building one from scratch, and the sound and motion really help.

[@Th3Pr0digalS0n]

although Ive never been a huge evil dead fan, I can absolutely appreciate this build. Soo groovy!

[@dead9757]

Thanks for the tutorial! Made my own a tiny bit differently and I got a ton of compliments!

[@Kriiispy]

I built mine with the exact same Homelite XL chainsaw as they used for the film and show and yet yours came out looking better than mine, embarrassing but impressive. Also a little extra something for people doing this build, you can buy retracting key chains for like £2 on eBay, hot glue that inside and poke the wire through the hole for the starter cord and attach the wood to that and you have a "working" pull cord

[@jacobramon1138]

Man I'm literally watching evil dead 2 right now

[@clashmanthethird]

have you heard of multitasking

[@zacharyschannel6336]

I watched one two and three for the first time last night. The second one is hilarious. I loved all three of them.

[@adamb5147]

A 'Tamara's Never Seen' of the Evil Dead and now this, I really hope this means we are getting a Nostalgia Critic of the original Evil Dead

[@agumonterriermon9417]

0:01 "Action!"

[@FR.7511]

13:02 puts right hand into chainsaw. immediately flips on switch with right hand.

[@brianriff8550]

YES THE BEST VIDEO Jim remains my fave member of the crew because of stuff like this. He's such a cool guy! ^u^

[@maugos]

Jim isn't just amazing, he's FUCKING AMAZING!

[@bobabrown978]

Hail to the king baby

[@Pressed_For_Time]

Came out looking awesome!

[@evoiii8]

Jim is a gift from the heavens.

[@Jesses001]

You should also have a metal gauntlet with you when wearing the costume. If you ever get tired of carrying the chainsaw, you can put it down and switch to the gauntlet. Remember, Ash got that upgrade in the third movie.

[@nitromagilou597]

That looks awesome.

[@matthewengebritson9777]

Awesome job! Talented indeed. And made me believe I could be one step closer to becoming the king.

[@KingBoxer119]

Amazing build, great job Jim.

[@TheTwinFiles]

October is always the best time of year for videos. Keep it the awesomeness, Channel Awesome!

[@SpoopySquid]

I love this series more with each new video

[@Zaiaza]

Oh my god. I've never seen evil dead but dang now I want too! This is an amazing piece! You took something and turned it into an amazing thing of your own!

[@handle9998]

The background music is giving me Halo flashbacks.

[@elitefries3088]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@Eivor85]

To this day I have never figured out how Ash actually operates the chainsaw with just a stump while holding his Boom-Stick

[@ashvsthestupiddead.7436]

Thats a good question Lol

[@YOUVVITCH]

He has a hook on his shirt he puts the pull-trigger on, so he can just hook the trigger and use that to pull.

[@AliceHobbes]

Yessss Evil Dead. now I am hype for the possibility of an Evil Dead review.

[@rosebyanyname]

YAY! Thank you, Jim!

[@fernandomeneghetti]

This was a great build. Congrats!

[@somechannelguy]

That's *groovy*

[@Rynax-]

Really cool build.

[@PIXPromosMore]

I like this show; it sort of feels like "This Old House", but with Movie Props.

[@girass]

Love the mad scientist safety goggles! great vid :)

[@peanutismint]

Fantastic reveal at the end! :-D

[@Craxin01]

Groovy! Definitely need a review of the Evil Dead franchise.

[@vladimiruhl4038]

That made me so happy.

[@KentuckyWallChicken]

Groovy! I want to make one of these someday (probably won't be as complex and detailed, but oh well) so this can help me with what to do to make one! Thanks!

[@mathiasgentech6217]

as a possible supplement for the chainsaw pull cord, a retractable keychain with a dowel instead of a loop on the end will work as well. Giving the effect of an actual pull cord. Enjoyed the video and am hoping to tackle a build like this in the future.

[@nathanwood1077]

I know you plan to make use of this epic prop sometime in the near future!

[@The_other_rob]

Amazing job man, keep these videos coming. You have a knack for the how to vids!

[@parrisbouyea7110]

looks great! but I would replaced the circular vent where the cord is with a drain cover because the one on the chainsaw looks nothing like it should

[@Laudanon]

So many Evil Dead videos this week, plus Ash vs Evil Dead s2 premiere, I'm in heaven :DDD

[@мастерсмерти]

I guess you can make a boom stick with the Fury Road gun and ading a cross

[@SilverBullet096]

Thank you so much for this video! It finally inspired me to make my very own groovy chainsaw!

[@TheAmazingFrankpool]

Groovy, groovy indeed!

[@ethanmorris3422]

THIS NEEDS TO BE FOR SALE

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

I liked the fact that the chainsaw originally comes splattered in blood. :D Alsol, great built. That must have been very fun do make.

[@kratos2505]

Beautiful. Good job!

[@zoratsu]

forgot to weather the rope, looks too new all white and clean like that :)

[@MrSmokeAlot87]

That is badass dude!

[@ErichoTTA]

"...going to have to figure out how to fit a fist in there..." Wow that sounds dirty.

I have got to get me one of those

[@Ashrudel]

Groovy indeed.

[@Pathos312]

This is awesome!

[@ritcheyramone8897]

awesome work dude!!! two tips; when i dress up as ash, i put a random pull strat from a bicile engine. and i use a contact lens container for the caps. i got stolen my chainsaw in a convention, but thats another story. excelent video to make it once again. keep doin this good work!

[@PunkPansy-]

PERFECT!

I am not making a complaint. You sound like Mr. Rodgers. Awesome build!

Nicely done! But I prefer the Useless Duck Company's approach.

im so fixated on his shirt! i need his shirt!

Doing this for a Halloween party now

[@nightlyoko626]

this looks really cool :'D

[@biosaber585]

a handy trick for cleaner circular cuts on plastic is take an old soldering gun that you no longer use and just burn through the plastic, it ends cleaner and gives less sanding work

[@shaunnar7446]

Genius!!!

[@LasseHuhtala]

Dramatic crafting music. :-O

[@user-sl9pt6xm8r]
