Odin Makes: Boba Fett's Gaffi Stick from the Book of Boba Fett

[@jamesallred460]

I don't want to give any spoilers for the new episode, but your timing is serendipitous

[@_thomas1031]

LOL🤣

[@hyungyuchoiboi1179]

I’d love to see you tackle Doctor Octopus’ metal arms (either the full harness or just the tentacles)!!!!

[@Xnd3rrr]

Maybe like a puppet of one arm even

[@onetrickmango6194]

The pain I have experienced trying to make them is immense, casting and molding would've been expensive and I just settled with handmaking out of foam blocks.

[@Culled]

Would be amazing

[@taqresu5865]

@@onetrickmango6194 imagine how painful it was to make the practical arms in Spiderman 2 that could be puppeteered. They were only CG for some shots.

[@onetrickmango6194]

@@taqresu5865 The people who made that are gods among the cinematic costuming industry

[@darthbuzz1]

I would imagine that the episode 2, where Boba actually makes his stick, would have been helpful but you have done an amazing job. Also lots of good info about foams you used. You have my subscription.

[@williamblankenship8209]

I call what you call the “onion” or “hitter” the “Angry Acorn” because it just feels fit for its looks and use.

[@arthurtorca]

The mean bulb

[@CodyDockerty]

The handle of the gaffi stick incorporated a full length totokia and other versions incorporated other forms of long handled Fijian clubs. Also the length also incorporates the taiaha of the Maori people's. Apparently Temuera also uses mau rakau (a Maori martial art) in his use of the Gaffi stick

[@TheHookUp]

Crafted from the finest Acklay Bones. Man this brings back some Star Wars Galaxies memories.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks for the shout out Odin!!! And your prop looks great 👍

[@OdinMakes]

You are welcome Steve! And yours is freaking beautiful!

[@blaineishere3851]

This is honestly strangely elegant and beautiful. It just looks like something made out of love, I don’t really know how to describe it. The wood effect is really really great!

[@mercury1076]

Fabulous work. Looking forward to many more Odin builds in 2022. . . . . Hail Odin.

[@jayperiod291]

I really like the non skid liner as added texture. Simple but it looks great!

[@OdinMakes]

Thanks! I like it too.

[@ripapa6355]

Your narration reminds me of those old "How it's made" shorts for kids. No idea how I got here, but this was awesome. Thanks!

[@zadianvwhgaming]

For any accurate measurements of star wars props/accurate colors, etc, the RPF (aka the star wars prop forum) is one of the best resources to go to for all that sort of info

[@Wico90YT]

RPF is a must have bookmark for prop making. 501 is great for SW.

[@OdinMakes]

I frequent RPF, but didn't think about them this time!

[@kieranclarke135]

Your smile of satisfaction when the onion head fitted to the handle was great to see. It is nice when a plan comes together.

[@shnozbub2539]

awesome job as per usual

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you!

[@michaelfoxfoxster469]

Great build Odin. look forward to doing one myself but actual battle ready version. Will incorporate a number of your ideas though, like the screw together shaft and using pvc on part of it. all in all thank you for your ingenius ideas and a most fetching gaffi stick.

[@stevenscottoddballz]

10:59 Hahahaha! That was funny the way you popped those circles out!

[@RealAndySkibba]

No spoilers but Odin will love a scene in Ep2.

[@bigbadwolfstudios1]

Just saying, Odin needs to be the next voice of How it's Made

[@kitirena_koneko]

Once again we see that other propmakers rule through cool gear, but Odin rules through respect for his mad skillz. -_^

[@KazeTheStorm]

from my experience, cons do one of two things when it comes to pointy props like this one... either have something covering the spike part until you're doing a picture, OR have the spike be rounded or blunt, to reduce the risk of poking someone... and then other cons just don't allow them at all

[@OdinMakes]

Mine is blunt, there is about a 5mm flat circle on the end. I am curious what my local con may say next week. As a guest, I can bring it anyway, but I am somewhat curious.

[@dozer88finn]

It would awesome to see your take on a Tusken Raider Masks!! The ones on the 1st episode were cool.

[@OdinMakes]

I do like the variations on the masks. The differences were more subtle back in 1977.

[@2GuysTalkingPodcastNetwork]

What a great piece. Thanks for putting us benchside to see it's creation. Great stuff and super inspirational!

[@user-tc4ez8jv4c]

I got to carry this today at sac anime , Odin was so nice and it was great to meet you man

[@WhiteysWickedWorkshop]

That really came out great! Awesome Job! Thanks for the video!

[@luckyshot2574]

Looks absolutely amazing... now make about 20 more of these and start your own Tusken Dance Group^^

[@randdmoore1]

So well crafted and presented. Great job

[@johndejac73]

Beautiful piece! Something for a Game room.

[@KainoaBlackeagle]

Wow!! That looks amazing!

[@MrFTW]

The love for other makers puts a great video over the top! Now I have to put my obligatory Macross/Robotech helmet, please Odin, say you will.

[@OdinMakes]

Rick Hunter's helmet has been on my list of possibilities for a little while now!

[@MrFTW]

Dude, that is glorious news, I hope it happens!

[@guyenglish107]

Thank you for being extraordinary

[@CT-7567-]

Awesome seeing how they're made in the second episode

[@gensteps923]

Am I the only person who hopes that boba Fett obtains some beskar and adds it to his gaffi stick. Boba seriously needs it, a Beskar weapon can seriously save your life, especially if he ever runs into someone with a lightsaber, and he's already very skilled with the gaffi stick. The mandalorian should help him get the Beskar for his gaffi stick, then they can train and spar with eachother, Beskar spear vs Beskar gaffi stick, or darksaber vs Beskar gaffi stick, either way it would be a perfect melee weapon for Boba.

[@kerricaine]

i was contemplating building one of these a while ago, and while it wouldn't be con safe, the metal safety rails for bathrooms seemed to have the perfect size, shape, and textures already in it for the ANH version!

[@OdinMakes]

They do! That part may not matter if it's metal. Just the grip area? could work.

[@DMAbCD]

Very awesome and informative video. Thank you for the inspiration to make a gaffe stick

[@alt_io]

Nice build, been looking for this.

[@sloganwade4994]

Looks great! Your approach is pretty much exactly the way I already planned to make mine. Lol. Also it's awesome to see SKS getting more attention. His builds are ridiculous and he's a pretty chill dude.

[@scottnichols2929]

This is a cool prop!

[@yousefelsadany8269]

Honestly you are a genius person

[@SkylarConover]

Actually, the original stick from the Tuscan raider was a lot longer than it seemed. It’s a forced perspective due to the angle of the raider’s arms so it very well could be just as long, though I haven’t researched this so I could be very wrong! Also, I absolutely love your videos!!! This turned out so cool!!!

[@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un]

Pure talent!

[@harrydresden6258]

This gafistick is super cool.

[@Justrex01]

Your gaffi stick turned out amazing, as always. You are a fabrication genius, sir. And yes, Steve's Boba Fett blaster was incredible, wasn't it? I sat slack jawed through his entire build video. Between you and Steve and Bill Doran and Svetlana, I am studying under the masters of cosplay.

[@HarrethTheExiled256]

man odin i love your vids man so well done and accurate

[@NerdyDadKen]

Make a blaster just so people can see the differences between your and Steve's techniques. Great video, As you can probably tell by my profile picture, I'll be making this within the next few months!!!!!!!

@@bu55c apologies

[@The_Nailsmith]

Guess I could use a touch up on my history

[@bu55c]

@@The_Nailsmith No worries mate, easy mistake to make as it is a "native" war club and Native Americans did use a similar one, it was a carved ball in a curved haft.

[@hannahbarnes9669]

I wonder if you could make a cane based on a gaffi stick. It would be a cool mobility aid for a Star Wars fan!

[@MROC66]

AWESOME! I have struggled with clear coats killing the metallic shine and have found Future brand gloss floor acrylic works really well . and you can either brush or airbrush on. also for painting plastics try duplicate-color adhesion promoter , its available in most auto parts stores. I've used it on the cheapest shiniest plastics without fail.

Fun fact; the gaffe sticks club end is based on a real world weapon, a war club from Fiji called a totokia.

Very nice. Since you like doing Star Wars props. How about Boba Feat's back pack?

[@alecharding8523]

To add shadow to the spike, you first start with your black undercoat and drybrush your lighter browns, starting with the darkest then going to the lightest.

[@christmarz4012]

Please make a video on building the full boba Fett armor from book of boba Fett 🙏🙏

[@ramarwriking82]

How would you make a Tuskan Raider mask?

[@Johann-4354]

Something I'm wondering is this, As a weapon, is it really an effective tool for hand to hand combat?

[@artycharr]

its a sharp stick, so you can definately do some damage, the other end is a club which focuses the blow into a sharp point, a good weapon.

[@Johann-4354]

@@artycharr It looks awkward to swing, and, hard to balance. Guess if I had it in hand it might feel different.

Big fan commenting from Australia 🇦🇺 I had to laugh when you said it's December so you can use a heat gun, in Australia right now it's summer and where I live in the tropics it's bloody humid 😅 watched episode 1 last night and it was incredible then just started having a Star Wars original trilogy marathon

[@OdinMakes]

I do think about my friends in Australia when ever i talk about temperatures in the shop. Christmas has always been cold for me, it's interesting to think about your 'four burner' Christmases!

Plumber trick. Cut a short piece of pipe, heat it up and stretch it over the smaller pipe. Insert into larger pipe. The difference in size is equal to the thickness of the pipe. Ie 3/4 pipe is 1/8” smaller than 1”.

Hey Odin could you please make the spider tracker from the 1994 animated spider man show? It would be awesome to see in the next video.also your work is awesome

[@warpathgaming7001]

The reason the spike on the onion thing isn't sharp is because the gaffi stick was actually a tool that was used as a weapon (just like for peasants in medieval times) the stick was actually used to clean the banthas teeth and to get bits of food out from the teeth.

[@Fredoboat]

Pro tip: When electricians bend pvc conduit they use a spring to keep the pipes form. As much as you use pvc I'd get a few bending springs
