Body Double! Make A Duct Tape Mannequin

[@CammanderDart]

He could be called Still Tree

[@JasonCrosen]

Having been a child of crafters and married to one, I have learned to just get your own scissors for your projects. It's safer that way.

[@SkillTree]

It appears so. Been sneaking those ones for a while now. About time I got busted I suppose

[@kumadogjack]

Loved the jack skeleton quote at the end

[@SkillTree]

Can't believe someone actually recognized it! Lol. Nice catch!

[@LaineyBug2020]

The expanding foam tends to expand the duct tape in a different shape than your actual body. To prevent this, you could embrace a bit more discomfort and make a plaster body cast before you take the tape off. Then when the cast is done, strengthen the two halves up with some fiberglass and resin. Then you can strap it around the duct tape forms before you fill them and the foam will expand to your exact shape! And you have a handy body cast for any future projects!

[@hellothere7456]

It might be better to stuff the casing up with clothes and cotton etc and then do the plaster casting on that. That way you can just use a boxcutter or craft knife to take off the plaster cast and you won't have to worry about lining up two halves the right way.

[@germanantoniopiedrahita9404]

GREAT IDEA.... very useful for sewing and design. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM

[@specs6637]

I vote on naming him Chester

[@stevelapierre4776]

NEAT IDEA.. VERY NICE.. AS FOR A NAME.... KEVIN, BOB, STUART, LOVE THE ''MINIONS'' SO.... OR ''2 CLEVER''...!!! OH NICE RING TO THAT.... ''2 CLEVER''...!!

[@DebbieBuckland]

nice. the full body form and pvc pipe skeleton is a great idea. I only did a torso on an old art easel. its good for somethings but some legs and arms will be good sometimes... I might make another.

[@redwolf2901]

Great vid, I suggested a little while back about doing a display for armour, I did not even consider about creating a mannequin with the measurements, love it. If I ever finish my armour going to make the same.

[@SkillTree]

It will go way faster if you can get 2 people to give you a hand with the tape part.

[@wonderbubbles4092]

At least one of whom you have NOT annoyed!

[@JeriAnDrews]

I made an xxl doll stand for mine, eliminating the need for holes in the feet. Tennis balls and dowel rods or pvc make great joints. Great stuff foam makes great limbs. Using great stuff foam also eliminates the need for as much skeleton. I love the way you do the Skelton.

[@LvL_7_Mage]

finally, an affordable way to make a stunt dummy that doesnt involve fursuits

[@farleysmith4074]

I’ve been wanting something like this. Thanks for the build.

Definitely something I will be giving a try soon 😁

[@michaelsexton170]

Look at the funbags on that hosehound. Yeah, he must workout. LOL

[@masterjarrus]

As a costumer I recommend that every 3-6 months you check your measurements against it and adjust as needed. I'm afraid I don't have a solution for taking away but for adding padding with quilting batting and some fabric should do just fine

[@juanalonso5037]

Super cool. You kinda looked like you were ready to race 😂😂

[@chase1929]

I was just thinking that I would like to see your whole harness in one place and boom, there's a new video where you show it off.

[@SkillTree]

It was cool for ME to see it all together. Having a mannequin really makes a difference when displaying

[@ashadizanur4907]

Nice vid! The 101 uses of a duct tape. Who would have known. If I may, I might called him Bard. I was closed enough to guess that your next project was a Druid. But hey! A Duct Tape Mannequin 🤣🤣🤣

[@SkillTree]

Oooh, Bard is a good name. Did you catch the Druid staff episode before this one? One of my favorite builds so far!

[@ashadizanur4907]

@@SkillTree Man! I love that Druid staff vid (yep, your other vids as well). Reminiscence of good ol' RPGs where imagination run wild (and got all my dice set confiscated for bringing them to school, you know Colonial school). Oh wait. Next project maybe doing some D&D dice? 🤣🤣🤣

[@chadpayne3542]

A few names TInman, Ducky, Scarecrow(or Scareclever), Minime/Mineclever, or Mark 1. Your videos are getting better as you go... Keep it up...

Why didn't you keep it all together.fill it up with the foam and then cut the arms and waist away from the chest.it would've keep the shape of the chest and legs in the same area.and the arms would've been properly filled like everything else

[@carthius]

I've been watching for a long long time... and you still remind me of a squirrel Also something i learned doing similar long long time ago... If you try to use the roll and just unroll it around you instead of using strips. When you remove it the duct tape will actually Twist and it will be bad

🤣🤣🤣 Not sure if that is meant to be a compliment or a burn but I love it either way.

[@PatrickPaul1203]

I made one of these my own and I’m having an issue keeping it upright. I used just regular stuffing that I had around not the quick set stuff. Now the pvc pipe that holds the hips and spine won’t stay upright. I’m going take it apart and redo the skeleton out of wood

They sell painter's suits with feet if you don't want to use socks. LOL. I would have to get help with the taping because I don't have full range of motion with my left arm. Can't reach very far behind my back with it. I would also need help with measuring the distance of my feet and the heights of things because I can't bend very well. LOL. It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again!!! I like this method, although I wouldn't use sika boom. Too fast acting and too expensive. Also, it sometimes shrinks after expanding.
