i made treasure from ✨TRASH✨

[@No-Salt]

I love this! I've been getting an itch to use old cans for art, and the All Powerful Algorithm seems to have sensed that. In metalworking, this is called repoussé and chasing. Having something soft but firm underneath your metal, like a sheet of rubber, would help make the details deeper! In the US you can sometimes find small square sheets of rubber for making custom plumbing pipe gaskets in hardware stores. Leather might also work, and could be easier to find around the house or in second-hand stores. You could also make small 'carving tools' with some long nails and a small hammer. File/sand down the tip of the nail so it's round, and you can gently hammer the design into the aluminum. But if you go that route, be gentle with your wrists and hands. Move the hammer with your shoulder and elbow. Also wear a mask to protect your lungs from any metal particles, as well as eye protection.

[@theguy516]

Fyi, this is kind of like a metalworking process called chasing and repousse. It is what was used to make the statue of liberty

[@dsstfdggg]

turned out great but it's frankly a miracle you kept the blood inside your body everything looks so so sharp

[@scoutofthewoods]

it was really really scary and dangerous and i almost doied DONT DO THIS AT HOME!!!!!!

[@nuova6877]

Putting these in a sack so I can have custom hit effects of cute animals fly out when I'm defending myself from getting robbed and +3 sharpness

[@scoutofthewoods]

LOLLL nuova this made me lagugh

[@fairyfarms]

i tried cutting a can once as a kid just for fun and um- it didn't turn out well. so i think i'll just enjoy watching you do it instead of attempting again.

[@scoutofthewoods]

u are far more rebellious than me i think i just ate glue as a kid

[@TheOctonite]

The cut to Mike Myers and then back to you with tears in your eyes is iconic. Thank you for this artistic inspiration, historical and socio-political commentary, and legendary editing. I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos.

[@Zoisited]

I love the little transition scenes that show little photos and trinkets (mainly the cameo of the best animal crossing villager at 5:42 ) The final product was also really cool lol

[@scoutofthewoods]

yes yes! minecraft wolf is also my fav ac villager :3c

KIA ORA E HOA!!!!!!!!!!

[@briangillis8788]

but you are so much fun to watch! and you instantly reminded me of this guy who made all kinds of art from all kinds of things it was on PBS I think, a while back. he became sort of famous to the point where someone who knew him gathered all his creations after the guy passed away and made it into a traveling museum, you know, to kind of commemorate him. btw, I remember back in the day while camping we used to make hats with aluminum cans. cut into squares, punch holes, and thread together with yarn. Whoooo!

[@scoutofthewoods]

aluminium hats sounds SICK. if you remember this mystery PBS guy i'd love to know his name!!

i think id get deported if i tried to make a smleting furnace but maybe someday in the fture

[@themanhimself1949]

god, as tedious as the process seems, the result is so worth it its so pretty and cool !!!!

[@scoutofthewoods]

i really enjoyed the process, so it didnt feel tedious to me!

[@themanhimself1949]

it does look fun, but my hands have sustained massive damage from needlefelting and crocheting so the scoring seems like a free and easy way for a flare up 😭😭 literally sacrificing the flesh for riches of the metal arts....

[@themanhimself1949]

and yes im watching this again 2 months later longingly considering to make some trinkets despite the hand/wrist pain your video simply captured my inner crafter so hard it wont let me go

[@scoutofthewoods]

@@themanhimself1949 actually this made me think! i've seen people do this with thicker foil (like from a tomato paste tube, or those disposable baking sheet tray things) and i think they require very little pressure, so that might be a way easier option! since my ones are just hanging they don't have to worry about wear n tear. you could even layer up kitchen tin foil, maybe?? if you give anything like that a try please let me know!!!!

also it turned out so cute

hello, you're awesome :-]

[@Cheeseb0ng]

In the Netherlands they are going to stop with plastic collecting because people dont clean it, which makes it unusuable. so I am very jealous of the fact that people in Japan are able to recycle properly. I wish people here did that and now its gone.

[@scoutofthewoods]

nah its not that cool sadly, mostly ppl also dont do it correctly and throw most stuff in burnables but in some areas u have to write ur name on trash and if u dont separate properly the trash collectors will leave ur bag on ur front doorstep and refuse to take it lmao

Were the edges of the star sharp? Seemed like at the end you could brush your hand over them without cutting yourself

[@scoutofthewoods]

they were, the points especially, but only if u put pressure on em

[@scoutofthewoods]

also i am immune to being cut after a lifetime of walking in the cities barefoot

[@Mathmagicality]

@@scoutofthewoods thanks! I was wondering cause I’ve been planning an outfit with aluminium accessories and wanted to know how much of a danger they’d be

[@thepitofdespair]

if anyone wants to replicate this… perhaps a can opener could work?

[@scoutofthewoods]

can openers crack em open on the angled bit, so you have to cut with scissors or a knife to get that part too! it might be slightly safer if youre bad with box cutters tho!

[@TheScreeb]

ok you have trinkets now but do you have any odds and ends, that sort of thing
