Wolverine's Prop Claws - Cosplay Tutorial Part 2 of 2 - Blades

[@chrismanleycma]

one thing i love about this video is the lack of mid role ads despite the nearly half-hour run time compared to the GTAV videos with 13 mid role ads in a 10-11 minute run time. It really shows that you're really only doing this to share your amazing ability to create props/cosplays as well as your knowledge in this field. i tip my hat to you, punished props

[@UncleJessy]

Seriously impressive. This has been a project on my list for a long long time now. Great job with this

[@punishedprops]

Thanks so much!

[@KevinLudwig]

Love seeing you on The Modern Rogue!

[@punishedprops]

Yeah that was SO MUCH FUN!

[@GuanoLad]

Something's changed in your production pipeline, I've never seen your vids be so sharp before. Nice.

[@punishedprops]

We've been making efforts to improve the quality. New cameras, audio gear, and more tweaking in post production.

[@pytle]

Thank you Bill! I cant wait to show you the ones im making with foam!

[@punishedprops]

I'm stoked to see them. Be sure to tweet me photos! =D

[@tankaliciousthomas325]

You guys inspired me a lot, and since this is one of my last years for trick or treating I'm going all out on a Scarecrow costume. A lot of what I'll be doing with it will be learned from you guys, thanks!!!

[@punishedprops]

That sounds like it'll be tons of fun!

[@graphicscvids]

loving the stickers at 1:31

[@fathom493]

Trey Jenkins Same also check out my channel it is about building 2

[@JomasterTheSecond]

"OK, Done with the loud noisy thing." *moves on to a louder, noisier thing*

[@VampiressKali]

Along with rounding off the edges of the part you hold in your hand, have you also considered painting them a tan/skin toned color to also help them blend in with the rest of your hand?

[@punishedprops]

That's a good idea.

[@nateinthenorth1999]

I'll be at Dragon*Con! I'll be Link one of the days. I learned leatherworking for it, and you've helped me a ton on the sword and shield, so thanks!

[@punishedprops]

Awesome! I hope we see you!

[@buckaroosan5571]

I like the expertly cropped shot of your bandsaw obscuring a part of a certain character. ;)

[@punishedprops]

HA! That was not intentional. That little fella is in a lot of videos and both my books.

[@Xzo]

I missed the stream noooo! They look great!!

[@aaronjackson5907]

Hey you're probably never gonna see this from little old me but i just wanted to say thank you thank you for staying clean, i feel like too many KZbinrs show women with not nearly enough cloths on you get more views or they'll have really bad language in their videos but i want to thank you because you're one Channel i know i was watch with my whole family and enjoy it without fear of bad language or inappropriateness :)

[@punishedprops]

You're welcome! I'm glad you appreciate our wholesome fun. =D

[@fathom493]

This is so cool. you should make a metal gauntlet. it's really fun to make

[@theodorebelmont2181]

You should make a Guardians of the Galaxy Ravager jacket

[@dawsonboyle99]

Maxwell Belmont yes please!!!

[@SRMWorkshop]

I have a model file for a set of printable bone claws if your interested. They are fitted to my hand but are easy to tweak. You do need a 275 mm print bed to do them in one piece.

[@punishedprops]

+TattooPyramidHead Thanks, but I'm all set. =D

[@vincepugliese911]

When shaping the claw interior to accommodate the pins you might want to use ruffled files.

[@vincepugliese911]

That should read riffler files.

[@punishedprops]

Oh snap I don't have any of those. To the tool store!

[@TheRunesmythe]

Those came out looking pretty cool. It might be interesting to try using some silver rub 'n buff on the blades to get them to a really bright sheen. Have you considered painting the actual handgrip part so it sort of matches skin tone? It would probably make that part blend in more completely with your hand.

[@punishedprops]

I actually tinkered with the finish a bit more yesterday. After the gloss finish I hit it with some chrome lacquer that made it a bit more shiny. Yes I may paint the hand grip if I have time before Dragon Con.

[@damas3335]

Mr. Doran, I'm going to make a Luke Skywalker Cybernetic Hand with foam. I wanted to know which type of glove would stick well with the foam when I glue them together? Which material would be best?

[@bummer6]

Sorry Bill... Your face is just too friendly looking to pull off a convincing Wolverine.

[@DylanoTheWizard]

These are SO cool, it ALMOST made me say 'Where did you buy it?'

[@greyareaRK1]

Is there a way to add all the micro-scratches that would normally be seen in a sword? I know it's not canon, but I'd love to add a fuller just to get a more sword-like catching of the light on its surface.

[@punishedprops]

A fuller could be carved in by hand using files. For tiny scratches, go at it with some strategically placed, low grit sand paper scratches.

[@Angry3336]

Do you plan on doing a wolverine helmet soon?

[@punishedprops]

Nope.

[@plussizeriderlifeshardbike9318]

Nice job,did you bevel the top

[@punishedprops]

Only a little bit.

[@plussizeriderlifeshardbike9318]

Punished Props ever think about doing some deadpool stuff

[@Apropalypse_Creations]

if im going to be molding and casting an average sized tomohawk, what kind of resin should i use, and how many do you think id be able to cast with a gallon of both parts, im brand new to it and have no clue what i should use :(

[@baalzimaanegwenesedai1713]

Question: For the blade bevel, would it be possible to run the rotary tool parallel with the blade to give it a "hollow ground" look?

[@Cavonny]

is that a GiantWaffle Neffy Sticker in the background?

[@alaskankare]

LOL, Bill, have you counted up how many ways/tools you have to sand things? I think I've counted up 6, 7?

[@punishedprops]

It's WAY more than that.

[@MrDukeSilverr]

Damn, your beard is taking over your face, its the extra masculinity coming from building Wolverines claws

[@LordDraconical]

Really appreciated the shoutout hookup over on Modern Rogue. We should still totally collaborate soon! Shoot me an email sometime so we can chat. :)

[@punishedprops]

Yeah man, for sure! Happy to share the love and great tutorials. Maybe we'll see you at Dragon Con! =D

[@fakermakerprops3948]

If I may ask, why didn't you model and resin print this, and clean it, make a silicone mold and cast 6 or them identical?

[@punishedprops]

I like to try different techniques depending on my time and project needs! That's also a totally viable option for making these claws, but the method in this video is a bit faster and cheaper. Also I think at the time we didn't have our resin printer yet!

[@fakermakerprops3948]

@@punishedprops fair, fair. I prefer hand working like this that printing and sanding anyway!

[@minimeerkat4032]

Is there anything else that can cut the plastic other than the scroll saw

[@punishedprops]

You can totally cut it with a band saw or by hand with a bit more time

[@darKILLusionnn]

Thanks for the video! I wish I'd seen this before making my sword. I'm still proud of what I've made though.

[@bversiani]

Can I use wood instead of EVA foam to make Wolverine's claws and stick them on a motorcycle glove?

[@punishedprops]

Sure!

[@bversiani]

Thank you!!!

[@justmakingit_mtrose]

How long are the blades?

[@garthor]

I got to the point where you are adjusting it, and it looks like it would be really useful to lock one down, while you move onto the others... that way you don't screw up the one you just got perfect... >_>

[@fargrim517]

I can see your plate is full, but what about making a fishbone bazooka

[@Earendilgrey]

I love this project, but the sound of you hand sanding that PVC was like nails on a chalkboard! Especially with the sanding block.

[@astranoon]

Where did you get the PVC foam board (quarter inch)?

[@punishedprops]

I get mine locally at Tap Plastics. If you don't have a plastics supplier locally, look for a sign making shop.

[@MrMassmahem]

Cool

[@rorybrown7955]

Did anyone else see the mouse on the floor?😯

[@kartoffel_kloss6645]

please when u make something a metal color just spray it with glossy black and then metal like chrome or something like that .. makes it waaaay shinier

[@-MrFozzy-]

Ye know....you could just straight superglue the claws to your finger pits.....then you could use the blocks and pins for something else.....YOU are welcome! Great video in all seriousness though....love it

[@drachenklaue07]

Hey Bill, have you considered covering the handles to hide the aluminium? Like a tinted silicone rubber?

[@punishedprops]

I thought about it. Not sure if I'll have enough time. I may just paint them.

[@melissaquinn1463]

*enthusiastic applause*

[@evillaser4889]

coming back to the Con of Dragons?

[@punishedprops]

You know it!

[@NerdBerd]

Make one shorter than the other two like in the movie when he had to pull it out.

[@punishedprops]

+Nerd Berd Dude yes! I did that couple days ago!

[@basvanderwerff2725]

wont this be to hard and pointy to be allowed at a con?

[@MiaRosyCosplay]

I dont know about the USA but in Australia, as long as they are marked off and you have some kind of proof that officials have seen them its ok. My swords all get a plastic tie on them to mark that they are fake. Plus its only foam

[@punishedprops]

It should be fine for most conventions. Metal blades would probably be a no-go.

[@lasarith2]

🙂👍

[@c.a.k.comedy692]

Nice beard 👍

[@Fiery_Simon]

why not metal blades?

[@punishedprops]

These are nice and light-weight and also con safe! Which is important if you want to be able to take these to conventions!

[@Fiery_Simon]

@@punishedprops ok. understandable.

[@Vulprex]

The blades used to worship the Dragonborn, the ultimate dragon slayer

[@dudedigital]

Looking at that coffee cup while he sands next to it like, "that mug needs a mask too." I wouldn't drink that after but I'm odd.

[@punishedprops]

Yeah I dumped that cup out.

[@zachpurcell8119]

The sound of that hand sander on the foam sends chills all down my spine. Makes me actually nauseous lol, and I had to mute the video

[@ryandrake6915]

GREETINGS FELLOW MAKER

[@GreyHulk2156]

"I played bass for Agressive Sock". lol

[@punishedprops]

HA! =D

[@LouieS-PH]

hmmm I wouldnt drink that coffee, inhaling or ingesting pvc dust is a bad idea.

[@BrianAndrews73]

Ahhh! All that drilling reminded me of the dentist. eeeeeeeeeeee ;)

[@bluedeath996]

Your rotary tool sounds a little unhealthy. I can hear something grinding and rattling inside it.

[@punishedprops]

Well it was very cheap...

[@SatanSupimpa]

Bill doesn't look to be a tall dude, which will work for a much more accurate Wolverine than Hugh Jackman.

[@Jessa8891]

Well he is basing his cosplay off of the movies so his height isn’t accurate. No better Wolverine than Hugh Jackman.

[@jona595]

Just like my toothbrush

[@apexprops2472]

3.55 is that a dickbutt sticker on your bandsaw?!?!

[@punishedprops]

Sure is!

[@apexprops2472]

thats awesome!!!

[@Miguel_morales99]

Anyone else here after watching Deadpool and wolverine

[@punishedprops]

The movie was so much fun!
