Reverse Bear Trap from Saw

Ever see a movie and just think, man that would be cool to have. Very rarely am I in awe of my props, this one turned out awesome. In this episode I show you how to make the Reverse Bear Trap from the horror movie Saw. I made this using PVC, CPVC, random plumbing fixtures, some old wire, EVA foam and craft foam. Let me know in the comments below if there is something you would like to see me build from this series, another show, video game, or whatever.

[@alangreer3760]

I've been working on my own using 3D modelling and a 3D printer and also am running into issues keeping it 100% accurate (especially on the right side area that you gestured to). After a while, I stopped trying to stay completely screen accurate and even added some of my own flair as it seems in the spirit of the plot of the films, considering the myriad of different apprentices. Can't wait to paint and wear mine to cons! Videos like yours have been super helpful.

[@MuchProps]

That is awesome! I have a 3D printer, that I don't really use much at all. My biggest problem is I can build most things quicker than the printer can shoot it out. I did however make something the other day that I would like to turn into a video real soon. It's Fallout related.

[@caitlynsmith2080]

Thank you so much for this! I find the eBay traps are way to expensive and mine turned out way better then the ones on there! Found this just in time for Halloween

[@MuchProps]

[@SewingwithElle]

What is the it made from...the black material?

[@Segador415]

What size craft foam did you use and what is the best glue for this

[@MuchProps]

It's an old video, but I am pretty sure I used floormat foam which is 10 mm when you sand off the textured back. I like using contact cement for gluing, in particular my contact glue of choice is Barge. You could also use hot glue or super glue if you wanted to.

[@roomtemp_soup]

any idea on what the thickness is on the foam :O and could I get away with doing it on 8mm question mark

[@MuchProps]

I believe I used floor mat foam, so 10 mm. 8 could definitely get the job done. I would go any thinner than 6 if you are depending on it for structural integrity.

[@monstermorguetutorials3139]

Nail it!!!!!!

[@MuchProps]

The reverse bear trap and the venus fly trap are still 2 of my favorite builds of everything I have made. I need to look at building another Saw build.

Real jigsaw? *JIGSAW WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION*

[@dollarstoresteak7654]

This is amazing! I’m thinking of doing one myself. Is there any way to tell how long you spent on this?

[@MuchProps]

I built this over 5 years ago, so I can't give you an exact estimation of time, but most of my builds are done within a week or so. Just a couple hours each day after I get off of work.

[@Pltxoncurse]

What material do you use? (I guess cosplay foam but there are so many differences)

[@MuchProps]

For this build I use floor mat foam you can get at home improvement stores. Made for like weight room floors. I primarily use some higher quality EVA now that I buy online, keeps me from having to sand off the backside textures.

[@augustf8790]

wow

[@theyuuhisavetf2555]

im going to do it... but with metal parts

[@MuchProps]

Cool. Would love to see it.

[@matthewthornton9248]

what size foam did you use? what type of glue?

[@MuchProps]

I used 1/2 EVA for a majority of the build and 2 mm and 5 mm for various detail parts. And for glue I used a generic super glue, must have ran out of my go to Gorilla glue. You could also use contact cement. I just wanted a quick set up. I went back in with hot glue to all the seams to make it look welded.

[@thatveganchick117]

where do u get ur foam and also what’s the measurements of the foam

[@MuchProps]

I most buy in bulk online from Blick art supplies. They carry HD foam by SKS Props. I have also bought at craft stores like Michael's, Joann, and Hobby Lobby. In a pinch, you can also find it at home improvement stores like Lowe's, Home Depot, or Harbor Freight. For this build I think it was mostly 10 mm foam

[@timmy_gamer5589]

I kinda wanna test it on myself

[@MuchProps]

[@user-jz7iz7dj6p]

9:24 this looks great!! What were these 3 bottles you were using at the end for the color? And did you use them all together or waited for each one to dry?

[@MuchProps]

The 3 bottles I used are a rust treatment by Modern Masters. You lay down the primer and let it dry, they the iron layer let it dry, and then spray on the activator solution. All together, it takes about 6 to 8 hours if you are letting it air dry. You could speed up the process with a heat gun, but you have to be careful not to overheat the seams on the foam or the contact cement will open back up
