Its kinda funny when he apologized for giving alot of instrustions. Dude, that's awesome and so helpful for something this involved! Thank you so much

[@vanliketheshoes]

I'm stumbling on this real late, but I'm trying to dress up as Cloud for Halloween. But I think I don't have enough funds or patience to do the entire thing, so I'm just gonna stick to this video instead of doing the whole shebang. Thanks for your tutorials! They're easy to follow and entertaining to watch :)

[@lalosaavedra6994]

You are really a great artist! After all, creation and ideas are art! Good job! You have talent and ideas!

[@J_PadEs]

Great video!! The great thing about this vid (like most of your vids), is that you can apply these teachings on different projects. Win win!!

[@lorentziwood]

yes i use this method for all belt projects

[@ssjronnie4454]

Lorentz you are amazing you're the reason why my kirishima costume is going to the amazing thank you so much with all your videos you are very humble man bless you and your talent

[@Clemberly]

Currently working on this cosplay for NYCC! Thank you so much, this was the one item I knew needed specific detailing (especially around holding the sword) so I appreciate you taking the time to outline! (and with materials)

[@lorentziwood]

of course

[@APerfectLie67]

Dude super sweet great thumbnail!

[@lorentziwood]

Thank you👈

[@Renoapproves]

Thank youuuu! 😌👍🏻

[@boots1622fan]

that seam allowance guide seems really handy. maybe i can make one somehow lol

[@lorentziwood]

You can use spacers guides or from a hobby store

[@MrJulian1154]

Awesome stuff, just bought this template aswell as the Zack Fair paldron one. I am 5'9 (180cm) should I go with the medium sized pattern for the belt?

[@kingz_idiocy562]

Ugh, dude this is awesome! You're seriously my friends and I's favorite youtuber / csoplayer on here and your videos are just awesome!! Your vlogs and cosplays are just SO enjoyable to see and your tutorials are so easy to follow! You're such a cool dude and thank you soso much for all your work! We all truly appreciate it!

[@lorentziwood]

Thanks for the love! Did we meet at a con? It sounds like we did?

[@kingz_idiocy562]

@@lorentziwood Sadly, no. My friend and I were hoping to see you at animanga, but things didn't seem to work out. Are you planning on going to any other cons any time soon?

[@TehBanane]

Hey super Late to the Party! Trying my best to craft the belt over the weekend, bought your packs on Etsy. Any tips to place the magnet on the sword? How strong does it need to Be? Thanks for the beautiful video :)

[@elenistica3387]

❤❤❤

[@kali___yuga]

Thanks for this video! I'm in Canada, and I can't seem to find a 2" x 1.5" Neodymium magnet like the one you have posted with your housing unit on Amazon Canada. Does it absolutely have to be 1.5" thick, or is it okay to go a bit thinner? My sword is only going to weigh around 7 lbs. Also, I assume you need two of the same kind, correct? Thanks!

[@justcholey4131]

Took me 7 of your videos to realize that your the guy that made those deku shoes that I need for next year

[@lorentziwood]

Lmao did you skip the intro everytime ahha

[@justcholey4131]

Lol yeah xD

[@JumpMan1698]

Hey Lorentz! Quick question. I just finished this up for my Zack Fair cosplay. I’ve got the magnet in the housing unit, but was wondering what you put in your buster sword for it to magnetize to? It looks like the backside facing the sword is 1.5 inch diameter. I think for it to hold while wearing I need direct contact with the magnet. Any suggestions? Tried using a mason jar top, but the metal in it wasn’t quite thick enough to hold the sword lol

[@sparrowsanzo]

Thank you for sharing. But I have a question. Where exactly is the best place to find the magnet for the belt?

[@GoldLightGL]

Hey thanks for the tutorial, im currently making a zack fair cosplay and your patterns and tutorials have been amazing, so thank you for your amazing patterns. Anyway i was wondering, with the 3d printed housing unit i noticed that you put a magnet in it to hold the buster sword, but the magnet you had linked on your site seemes to no longer be available, are there any other magnets you would recommend for the housing unit and buster sword? Anyway keep up the fantastic work!

[@lorentziwood]

Look into neodymium magnet on K&J magnets. 2"diameter and 0.5" thic N52 grade

[@Anastaviell]

Super, thank you for the tutorial! Together with your pattern very helpful! What do you use to attach your ruler to the table?

[@lorentziwood]

I use plastic clamps

[@MisterChaos96]

Hello i am currently recreating a zack fair cosplay and i am using your Pattern to make the SOLDIER Harness. Where does the pattern from 9:18 come from?

[@TakayukiZeRo]

You inspired me to make props! It always scared me to get started, but your tutorials are easy to follow and well pased! Going to start on a Zack and Cloud cosplay in celebration of the remake! Will you also ever do a buster sword tutorial? :o Thank you for inspiring me and getting me outoff my comfort zone! =)

[@lorentziwood]

aye!!! tag me on IG when you're done with it

[@TakayukiZeRo]

I probaply will start in a month or so! But will tag you when it's done :D

[@joehartman5543]

how does one put magnets in the buster sword?

[@blackfangsamuki6519]

great tutorial but tbh the loctite 200 didn't really work out for me when putting the straps together it just kept falling apart so I just used contact cement instead to keep it together

[@ezrabraun9038]

Where can you buy the magnet?

[@kmelissa6371]

But where are your glasses from tho???

[@lorentziwood]

J!NS

[@bandstand81]

Could you please send me the link to the magnet you use to hold up your buster sword

[@lorentziwood]

amzn.to/3bGHZAo

[@poranisko2745]

can you give a link to this 3d cricle?

[@Baka.senpai.]

Do I need to put the same magnet used in the housing unit in the buster sword?

[@lorentziwood]

Yes you do

[@mirthablondet5035]

Hey! What type of vinyl is this? I know its not HTV or Adhesive but I cant seem to find this anywhere?!

[@lorentziwood]

It's marine vinyl at Joanns

[@Krolshi]

Me: Wow what a thoroughly explained tutorial. Lorentz: 12:15 Me: whut- I'm not planning on making this (though some techniques I'll be implementing in future cosplays :D), but thanks for taking the time to squeeze this in!

[@lorentziwood]

Of course !!! It's super useful for belts of all sorts

[@Baka.senpai.]

Are you going to be selling the 3D printed housing unit? It would be so helpful being I don’t have a 3D printer haha

[@lorentziwood]

I am gonna fix up the design and relist them

[@Baka.senpai.]

Awesome! I look forward to it! ^-^

[@mollycos5771]

Hi, I'm really poor but I really want to cosplay Jessie. Do you know we're I can get anything that isn't expensive to make her cosplay?

[@hristianasoula6298]

Hey where did you get your wig?

[@lorentziwood]

arda wig fairy blonde jareth

[@iandixon6798]

is the typical size for the zipper 18inch?

[@lorentziwood]

You can use any length. You'll just have to cut it down

[@RC-rr6gl]

You should ask gorilla tapes to sponsor this video... lol

[@lorentziwood]

I wish :)
