Want to learn how to make your own steampunk gauntlet/mechanical arm for a super sweet costume? This set of two video tutorials will show you how you can make one out of fairly cheap materials like foam and hot glue. I have a pattern available to buy if you want to be able to recreate this mechanical arm sleeve for your own cosplay.
Hinged Rivets Tutorial➜bit.ly/2tNHnCe
Hydraulic Piston Tutorial➜bit.ly/2ui3TqC
If you don't want to make a steampunk arm, you can still use the base pattern to make a cyborg arm sleeve, robot arm, or automail cosplay of your design.
If you have never worked with EVA foam before, I would probably suggest starting with a simpler pattern to learn the techniques, to avoid a bit of frustration.
If you would like to support me on Patreon, you can get access to my patterns as I draft them, get each pattern as I release it for free, and have access to extra content. Extra content for this project is a one hour video comprising all the footage I filmed while making the arm, sped up 4x.

One major top tip for others is use metallic sharpies on the foam as it makes it a lot easier to see than the standard black one (as its normally black on greyish black foam). Sounds simple I know but makes it easier.

Cool, that's great feedback, I do try to design pieces so that they incorporate a decorative element, as well as mechanical workings- but they kind of have to make sense as to why they would actually be there. Sometimes it's hard to get the right balance.

I am absolutely in love with your channel and I have been watching it for literally years. I had one particular question though. May I ask why you don't use something like barge contact cement as your heated? It just seems as though it would be a bit more thermally stable. By which I mean, the odds of the pieces delaminating at say, a hot convention or less likely. I also do a lot of work with foam and I was just curious! Not a criticism by any means! Just a curious fan.

@LostWax 6 жыл бұрын

Yep, that's a good question. There's actually a couple of reasons. -As much as possible I like to use materials that are easily sourced by the average crafter- most have glue guns, not so many would have access to a good quality contact cement. -Barge is pretty toxic, after having a child with cancer, and doing most of my work in enclosed spaces, I prefer to reduce my exposure and hesitate to recommend something like that, knowing most people will not have proper fresh airflow. -It's really easy to fix mistakes with hot glue- just heat it up, pull it apart, and try again -I have actually been really impressed with the ease of use, and the strength of hot glue when done properly. I left one of my pieces in a hot car the other day (probably around 30 degrees Celsius outside) I tried to pull it apart when I took it out of the car, and the glue was still not warm enough to soften. All that being said, If I was making foam pieces professionally, I would likely use contact cement, but even then, there would be times I would choose to substitute hot glue. Oh, and I like to try things that everyone says aren't possible. That's where some of the best ideas come from:)

This looks great! I am currently doing a robotic arm for a cosplay (I'm doing Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, I'll do only the forearm and the hand though, the rest will be hidden by the clothes) so i find it interesting to see how you're doing it. I just have one question however: I've seen a lot of people use a heat gun to bend shapes when they work with foam, but you manage to do great pieces without it. Have you ever worked with a heat gun? If yes, is it then easier to work without it?

Well, I guess I am naturally a pretty happy person, but also when you are making a video you get to be in control of what the audience sees, so it can be a slightly unrealistic view of who a person really is. I don't think it would make a very enjoyable video if I was grumpily explaining how to make something:)
