What I learned from this video: 1) How to make a cast of someone's head. 2) Get Bill Doran to do it

[@charlieknibbs6203]

+Punished Props solid plan, but floppy face mask😅😅

[@kathmonkey]

+Punished Props Hey Bill, sounds like a plan. I live in England, when are you next popping over...?

[@charlieknibbs6203]

kathmonkey me too

[@robertmayhem9331]

kathmonkey Also that he's making sure we can breathe 👌

[@_5up3rm4n]

they mixed up several cups

[@3DPrintingNerd]

This was a great recap of what we did there! I know I came in half-way, but, VERY thankful that I got the chance to help since I learned A LOT.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

***** wait, wait... ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

[@doubledarefan]

"recap" I see what you did there.

[@renannaw]

3D Printing Nerd Re-cap.

[@maxciel9829]

hi

[@imamacgeek8371]

i had to make sure i wasn't watching make anything // 3d printing channel

[@RADARTechie]

I can totally see people trying to do this at home and forgetting to put air holes.

[@ethantheEPICNESS]

Natural selection, my friends

[@lokijotunn5233]

+Camerafart Ethan haha

[@carsondyer3670]

B Cook I

[@benmitchell1329]

B Cook all they need is straws to make it work on a lazy budget

[@henriquesilva966]

Ben mitchell thats a bad idea

[@EcoAcid]

I would lose my mind being inside that thing for such a long time.. Legit panic attack. How on earth did you handle it?

[@Foxuniverso]

+Cabanaz theres a thing called claustrophobia wich is the fear of a confined space, it can lead to really bad anxiety and panic attacks.

[@Foxuniverso]

Cabanaz wow proud of you kid very mature (clap, clap) youre so wise and mature, your mom must be proud.

[@benlee2096]

Foxuniverso Their point was proven by you saying that :/

[@alienfromarea5175]

I had a tissue face mask once... I freaked out and sucked up my nose

[@ejdri1521]

Eco you need to trust the person doing it

[@peterbrownwastaken]

that was super cool. Thanks for sharing the process with us!

[@ilijazz]

I love your channel

[@gollumthedog]

you have an awesome channel! subscribed awhile ago

[@levidee9105]

Peter Brown hi peter brown, I’m not saying something mean but you should make more lathe videos because I need help making bowls and using a 4 jaw chuck

[@lebateur3755]

Peter Brown g

[@frankmakes]

That was fascinating.

[@ilijazz]

I love your channel

[@ToxicTears]

Oh gosh watching this gave me serious heart palpitations! Even if my nose were left clear I think I would still go into such a panic!:')

[@cats_meow7163]

Same becouse no matter how healthy I am even sence chemo i get random times where i cant breeth though my nose

[@odeed]

Yeah I would NOT be down for this. Lol.

[@rodrigokalebesquivelflores1106]

wao

[@Lookatmeshine]

Same. This is my nightmare!

[@dorarpolhendra4947]

very true, i cant imagine how inside the mold

[@glamcam7554]

My description of what's happening: "First, we're going to make you into an alien, then a mummy. Then once you molt your alien and mummy skin, we're going to fill it with foam and pick clay boogers out of your nose."

[@asteraceae7123]

Glam Cam 😂

[@physicrecords5103]

xD

[@ijkcouggiguocopjf8708]

the description of this video in less than 60 words

[@morgancook4128]

i remember when this channel had like 1000 subs, i was obsessed with this channel, its great to see how far its grown and that you have co-labbed with other you tubers and you seem to be enjoying making projects more than you did 2 years ago. congrats on the growth Bob you deserve it

[@Makebuildmodify]

That would freak me out. I don't know if I could hang in there for an entire hour.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

This brought me back to my "The Making of Thriller" VHS. Fun video! (Yours and Micheal Jackson's)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Oh yeah! I remember that making of video!! Totally forgot about that. I was at the EMP in Seattle recently and they had one of the zombie costumes from Thriller on display :) It was weird but I immediately knew what it was when I saw it.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice...I would have thrown it on and busted out the dance!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Am I the only one that's thinking about pistachio ice cream after watching this?

[@elijahk.7828]

Yes.

[@s-tongue9950]

no

[@kpiwowar42]

I am now!

[@turtlethemagicpuddle1116]

Well now I am

[@smoothon]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Bill did a great job with that mold!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks!

[@Cheesepuncher]

How much smooth on would it take to do this? I'm looking at doing this but don't know quantities I'd need.

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

Very cool! We at Distortions wish you the best with your tutorial series! Keep up the good work!

[@travis_approved]

The same guy, Bill, just did an episode with the modern rogue on this too and they go into a lot of detail in real time which was also pretty awesome! Great video

[@Khether0001]

the best head casting technique ive ever seen so far, congratulations!

[@mrd9534]

Anyone else get sweaty hands watching this?! Claustrophobia alert 😩

[@xersusfilms]

me

[@Denasdc]

is it? I usually get sweaty hands when I'm running. Must have runnophobia... :(

[@samkelly2221]

+Denasdc Stasibasiphobia

[@Denasdc]

sam kelly : a mental health condition in which a person is convinced that walking or standing is physically impossible no...

[@samkelly2221]

Denasdc The closest thing, there is no fear of running

[@phantomparty2079]

watching this makes the claustrophobic

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Awesome technique!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Cool stuff. That would freak me out though. I don't know that I could handle being covered like that for so long.

[@felhaferemans9142]

Am i the only one who have difficulties to breath watching this???😂😳😁

[@nandushaji3310]

Nope

[@ll_hunter_ll8312]

Nope same

[@w.aylonnn]

No im not breathing right no jk

[@tanber0271]

Nope

[@PapaWoofs]

Bill is pretty awesome at what he does, for sure. Did he stream it? Gonna have to check the vods.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

He didn't stream it unfortunately.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That looks TERRIFYING!

[@MCGamer-tj9nr]

Yes

[@Ostsee89]

This was unbelievable. I had to watch it twice! I'm very impressed with all the things we can make & build :)

[@Nerdforge]

Really cool! :D

[@WildmanTech]

That is a level of trust I don't have with many people. Bravo!

[@danthemakerman]

This is really cool. Cant wait to see your helmet build.

[@dextermorgan5397]

seeing the inside of a mold like that gives me the shivers!

[@ShaunMeighan]

Awesome Bob! Props on staying still for that long!

[@AwesomeWoodThings]

I'd be freaked out if I had that done to me... but I'm glad you said it wasn't too bad. Great video! I can't wait to see what you do with the mold.

[@EvilTedSmith]

Great video.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks Ted!

[@calebcoan6249]

Yes it was!

[@jase_allen]

Back in grade school, one of the other home room classes made plaster molds of their heads for art class. They used lengths of drinking straws to ensure unblocked breathing passages when the nose area was covered.

[@JHA854]

This is why we need 3D scanning and printing haha

[@growing.flowers]

Aww i love how reassuring he is

[@acoffeewithsatan]

I would probably freak out midway the process.

[@gonzalomunoz6320]

André Fontes Same

[@porkchop1184]

Best cast vid I've ever seen

[@helloraie]

I think I have everyone featured in this video in my subscription. 😂 Love this video, very informative!

[@alexandrebueno3656]

Thumbs up for holding yourself together during the covering of your face without panicking.

[@MidnightMaker]

Hey Bob, love the video(s). I was lucky enough to have a special effects company make a lifecast of my gigantic knoggin. Reason being that any mask they sculpted on it would fit anyone. I got a pull from the cast and it's been useful for everything from sculpting an Alien face hugger to stretching out a leather tricorn pirate hat. Unfortunately, during the casting, someone in the shop farted while I was constrained to only breathing through one nostril, which made the experience a bit traumatic. Only someone who has been through it can appreciate how vulnerable one is.

[@stevejames2142]

Brilliant... Bobs channel just keeps getting better. Well done!

[@igamine]

What if you want to use the bathroom?

[@plsgivemeausername]

Isabella Gonzalez just piss yourself

[@ahraeatmon349]

Diaper?

[@richardw833]

Do you pee from your face?

[@DingleDut]

It's not that long. It's like 30 to 40 minutes.

[@iamanormaldude]

Richard W idk

[@manusamuel9361]

I want the name of the material used to cast that head

[@WoodByToth]

That was cool. Kinda creepy looking when they pulled off the one layer and the green layer was still there haha. Good stuff Bob!

[@lucasboisneau4256]

Yay ! Another vid with Bill !

[@kaleidoscopicnebula515]

my toxic trait is thinking i could do this by myself

[@AbdulBolat]

I felt like I couldn't breath just watching this. Good work on not passing out.

[@filmsbybt]

I don't think I'd ever survive this.. but hey, this is very cool.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

I was a bit concerned, but it ended up not being too bad. I just tried to control my breathing and I knew that at any moment I could reach up and rip it off if I really got in trouble.

[@filmsbybt]

+I Like To Make Stuff - Of course, but being claustrophobic I don't think I could ever do such thing. But yes, I can agree it really comes down to trying to handle it.

[@gautamsharma9757]

He looks so happy!!

[@scotthaun8582]

this looks slightly terrifying

[@xanderseah4845]

Is it just me or the colour of the mould looks dang satisfying...

[@galavor100]

What if you had a cold and a blocked nose on the day you would do the life casting

[@jay-tbl]

Rip But in all seriousness, most people establish a signal that the person being casted can do to alert everyone else that something's wrong. Then they can pull off the cast

[@waynecreech]

That was Super cool Bob!

[@TotalMayham]

I was freaking out watching you in the mold.

[@commiesRgreatm8]

ayyyy one million subscribers!!!

[@poppiti2044]

god i couldnt do that i can barely breathe out of my nose :/

[@seansysig]

Cool video, your patience is extraordinary!

[@regularegg7876]

Another way to keep the nose clear is to put straws in, this is how my costume design teacher does it

[@DriaRoys]

The only issue with that method is it distorts the shape of the nostrils

[@roddyb8905]

and if a straw is knocked it can damage the inside of your nose and do some pretty major damage

[@cats_meow7163]

That would not work fornme becouse even when im healthy ever sense chemo i get random runny noses

[@caballerodecastilla]

Such a great team. Awesome job!

[@the-bleach-master1168]

ALMOST A MILLI!. been a fan for ages bob

[@Iliketomakestuff]

I don't know any way to do that, but I really appreciate you sticking around!

[@the-bleach-master1168]

I Like To Make Stuff np man i absolutely love your content and your personality. :)

[@not_zack5498]

OMFG A COLAB BETWEEN MY FAVORITE BUILDING GENRE KZbinRS

[@aydeliensharvalter3478]

Who else tried to swallow without moving your jaw

[@WoodenCreationz]

Very cool Bob!!! 👊🏻😜

[@UnwovenSleeve]

Pro tip for people doing this at home, nose straws go a long way

[@DoomRater]

Such a reminder of the time I had my head molded and cast. Hope your head work goes well!

[@amynguyen5528]

What if you had long hair!?!!? 😱

[@rodrigokalebesquivelflores1106]

lol

[@seanaragon6263]

bald cap!

[@crazyexperiments7054]

Question: did your eyes hurt when you did the silicone and the plaster bandages?

[@hellopaul7652]

4:12 He kinda looks like Voldemort just white instead of grey

[@laceystarsimpson]

Haarrryyyyy Pooooottttteeeerrrrrrr........

[@euniceappling7912]

Awesome, perfect likeness

[@han07013]

you got mummified!!😅😅

[@jihadsharief3432]

I really love your video. especially the king sized bed with storage

[@pikawizards4137]

It's a mummy

[@charlieknibbs6203]

my mummy is sitting next to me

[@NathanMuttitt]

ok

[@MichaelAlm]

Oh man! I wish I'd known you were in Seattle! Hope you had a fun time out here.

[@Randorthis90]

Bill's the man!

[@herouxmonkey03]

I've used the plaster wrap before. It's fun

[@drewpitt9100]

No way! Joel was in the video! Two of my favorite youtubers had a video together!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Joel is awesome!

[@RonWaller]

Just what the world needs more Bob clones. lol This was pretty cool. Like to see how this all turns out.

[@blizatrex]

Great video. The foam head would make for a cool Halloween head on a platter decoration project.

[@fablewalls]

Been looking to silicone cast a couple of sculpts I made - this really helped.

[@tonchito1449]

That's so cool!! I watch bill doran!!

[@Vallidius]

Used to do this a lot for my study. Awesome explanation and video. Good luck with casting Rob!

[@TheAngie3645]

I need to do this for a cosplay I'm planning, but I have thick, waist-length hair. Any tips on how avoid getting my hair stuck in the mold? Idk if ai bald cap would work with so much hair

[@aidanoldemail7572]

This was awesome!

[@Smams105]

That’s so cool! It looked so cool at the ending

[@kellyfrances9435]

Thanks for posting. Great guide! Added tip: to avoid getting eyelashes pulled out, coat them with petrolium jelly before you cover them in the silicone material.

[@JackSpiggle]

I came here looking to be that guy who points out all the things you did wrong and was utterly heartbroken when I heard Bill was doing the cast XD. He definitely knows what he's doing!!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

You came to point out mistakes? That's no fun. Bill is extremely good at what he does though.

[@JackSpiggle]

I really did have the best intentions I swear =D. Sometimes you see people doing life casts that promote techniques that are just so incredibly wrong and dangerous which is especial worrying with an audience as large as yours. Ive seen way too many people stuck inside plaster life casts sometimes with bandages not even made for moulding XD.

[@jaythomsenn]

I'm so claustrophobic this makes me so anxious

[@kawythowy867]

Wow. That’s pretty cool.

[@Matt-cw7gu]

Cool stuff. Have you ever thought about making a 3D sandbox?

[@kamenblackguy]

I'm sorry if you might have posted this already but how many packs of the plaster bandages were needed for this?

[@Luka1180]

I wonder too, because they specified how many of the silicone kits they bought in the description (2) but seems to have written no number next to the plaster bandage on there, making me assume they only used one of these rolls. However, looking at guides online, a lot of them recommend using 7 rolls of the exact same dimensions as the one they used here. This is really confusing, and I would love to have a clarification on this.

[@matthewbaker4645]

This really helped. I never could figure out how to keep the two parts seperate.

[@JkMeadows]

So much fun you rock!

[@SpecificLove7]

Did you get hot while the mold was on you?

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Specific Love Creations no not really. It was more comfortable than I expected.

[@raffsalinas6303]

wow. quite the who's who helping out. I follow all of them.

[@jamieshaw5814]

Hey bob, i really like your videos since i'm into design myself. I'm just wondering if you'll be doing electronic projects with explanations for each component as i am struggling with electronics myself and what they are used for. It would be nice to see you use the overhead camera in your electronics station too. Thanks

[@BruceLeeKingoftheSewers]

That's great. I have been wanting to make a casting of my head for a while and this seems like the way to go. I have zero experience doing anything like this, but I've never let lack of experience get in the way of progress. It shall be done! Thanks for the great vid.

[@samawaaah]

Did you end up doing it? How’d it go?

[@calvinswaney3452]

Anyone else get excited when this popped up in their feed

[@wiimachine]

I was subscribed to 'The 3D Printing Nerd' and 'Punished Props' Before you. sooooo this is kinda cool

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Right on! Those guys are all fantastic!

[@classybyjen]

WOW!!!!!!! This would make me so claustrophobic!!! So cool though! I would Love to have a bust of my head so I can create different prosthetics for my transformations.

[@dericbarber6238]

Can u use petroleum jelly for the mold release on hair and skin before applying silicone if you can't afford the good stuff?

[@WarriorsCats321]

Super cool video! It's always fun to see what kind of things you make and do. You're giving me plenty ideas for projects!
