@@TristanMaker what kind of store did you buy the eva foam?

[@TristanMaker]

It's a local foam seller in Montreal, called True North Cosplay. :)

[@pinkgoth6]

do you know anything about how eva foam compares to insulation foam for making weapons? is one better than the other?

[@TristanMaker]

If you're talking about the big 2" thick foam boards, they work great, especially for bigger weapons. I made astrid's axe from how to train your dragon in a past video using insulation foam. It's a bit lighter than eva foam, but can get dented more easily. If you're gonna carry it all day in a convention, insulation foam might be better. If you want a more detailed and more solid prop, eva foam is better.

Well done maker, you should make Anduril Flame of the West from Lord of the Rings.

[@TristanMaker]

Thank you! And yeah, that's gonna go on my list :)

Is there a way to carve out foam for the stick without a machine?

[@TristanMaker]

You could try to make a V channel in the foam using an exacto knife.

[@maxbarton2020]

Would you happen to have templates for this sword?

[@TristanMaker]

Unfortunately no. But it's such a simple shape that I'm sure you would be able to trace it yourself on paper to build one :)

[@maxbarton2020]

True!

[@davesykes1966]

Well done man. From the awesome Prop and paint job to your no nonsense to the point video editing. So that awesome texture was achieved just with the Flex Seal ?

[@TristanMaker]

Hey thanks! Yes the texture is just the flex seal. But the deep cuts were acheived with the rotary tool.

[@davesykes1966]

@@TristanMaker Thanks. I've seen people use cotton fibers from cotton balls applied with watered down glue to achieve a nice corroded texture. You sound Canadian. So Hi from a fellow Maker and Canuck from Quebec City.

[@TristanMaker]

Yes I've seen people use that technique, I'd like to try it someday. And yes I'm from Montreal! Nice to know I have viewers from Quebec! :)

Haha yes, je vais aller voir ça!

Another way to make fake leather is to cover cardboard in ducktape and bash it about a lot. It really looks like learher 👍

Are Eva Foam weapons LARP safe

[@TristanMaker]

Unfortunately no. They are simply not soft enough.
