I loved it when u threw the knife
I have some leftover foam board from Christmas which foam board project would you suggest me to do?
thanks for the video!!! that is exactly what I was needing to know!! I m loving all your tips and videos. so awesome!
Just bumped into your video and watching in 2020. I love working with foam board and I've been making projects with them for years but without those tools. Must buy. Thanks a million for sharing.
Omg THANK YOU! I love FOAM BOARD I have made shelves for my kitchen with it but I never seen like actual “furniture” like creations. This is amazing thank you
I really appreciate all this information.
Super helpful information “THANK YOU” Sir.-God bless you
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching :)
Love this stuff! Going to make a storage unit for my (many) polymer clay tools and supplies. Thank you 😊
Wow, you do a lot with foam board! Thanks for ideas on how to cut and adhere them together!
Thank you. I've passed this stuff for years and barely noticed it. The storage units were great. Also luv that grey beard!
Thank you! That was an inspiring video! Absolutely life-changing 😊
Thank you for this video! I will be using foam board for the first time next month regarding a Valentine's Day decor project. Since I am unfamiliar with foam board, I searched for a video to become familiar with it and this was the first one that popped up and it was informative. Thank you again!
thanks for the description of foam board
Amazing video. Straight to the point, covered everything, easy to understand. Thank you.
This tutorial was AWESOME! Thank youuuu !
So glad I came across your tutorial! You are very entertaining! Thank you! New subscriber!
Thank you so much for this vid very easy to follow and great info that I was after 😊
Useful explanation. Thank You.
Great information ..thanks alot for sharing..love your foamboard projects ..
So interesting. Thank you loads for these info.
Really nice explanation, got interested in foamboard work. Thanks.
Great how to video. As a cabinetmaker, I never realized all the cool joinery and construction that can be done with foam board. And you can do it all with simple hand tools-very cool.
Great comment. Your cabinetry skills will translate well. Be sure to let me know about any projects you make!
@@epicfantasy what glue does you use . Is it instant adhesive.
Super useful!! I’m excited!!
I love foam board!
Awsome video! Thanks Epic Fantasy!
I didn't know about the Foam Werks tools pretty cool
Very informative video with useful tips. I found all my answers to questions I had about a craft project I'm wanting to do- a DIY magazine holder with poster board foam I have on hand versus cardboard box which I would have to get at a grocery store. Also, to decorate my magazine holder, instead of using patterned duct tape, I was going to paint it but after learning it can curve, I decided am going to purchase a roll of duct tape from dollar tree. Thanks for making this video and sharing your knowledge on it (Currently researching which Xacto knife to purchase for the cutting because my sharpest brand name scissors won't cut the foam..well it is but I'm dulling the blade and I know it won't give me a clean straight cut like the Xacto would).
Thanks! Very helpful video!
Thank you for your informative and creative vid. I didn't know about the various cutting tools - I like the bevel because it make the corners neat and clean and will use that to make
a new project due in November. Take care out there and thanks for sharing!
Brilliant, thanks very much x
It's cool to see part of your workshop. It's surprising how many tools you have.
Hey man keep doing what you are doing keep up the good work appreciate it
Ooh those cutters look cool. I have made several containers for my millions of markers that need to be stored horizontally. I'd love that angle cutter, that would improve the edges so much. I was looking for tips to prevent jagged edges, guess its as simple as using sharp tools. Good video thx!
Thank you very much showing the foam board i never used before and thinking about the size and diffrent used of it very informative thank you again its gives me very helfull information keep it up when ever i used it for my project iwill send you the picture
Very informative. Thank you.💯
thx, i want to build my first DIY model airplane, i'll get a hold of this stuff and start working on it.
Excellent thank you!!!!
Foam board is awesome!
Amazing and helpful vedio thank you 😊
Thanks for your new Serie. This Video helped me a lot.
+Kati Riese Thanks for watching!
Thank you ❤
Gracias,saludos!
Nice explanation thanks
Excellent. I'mma make a few prop weapons out of these for future projects. Had work with wood for a while now & thinking to look for another material that is lot more light weight while remaining stiff & strong. Don't want to work with EVA foam because after awhile, the foam can warp & curl from experience.
Would really like to see how you made the organizer on your work bench.
This was superrrrrr helpful! You just gained a new subscriber 😊
Great for board game inserts
Is Styrofoam d same as foam board. Please reply.
I've been using a big sheet of it for a surface for my videos, because it makes it easier to see what I'm doing. I wonder if you could make a catapult out of it?
Do you have a tutorial for that paint organizer shelf it looks really nice and i would like to make it?
Awesome passion
Perfect review ever liked
Thank you
OOOOOOoooo.
This video is awesome.
Thanks.
Originally, I was just going to say thanks for the video, but I think now it's a damn good one not only for crafters, but modelers.Looked up Foam Werks tools on Ebay and they also have one that allows circles to be made. Definitely have a use for these tools. Also didn't know hot glue guns actually came in 2 settings which explains why my nephew doesn't use one as it always melted the plastic.Getting back into plastic modeling (1/35th scale) after 15-20 years, but not aircraft/armor this time. Going for zombie dioramas and want to build stores/homes with foam board. There are plastic kits of buildings available, but they're vaccuformed, so there's no interior and of course, there's the price.
i liked the castle that you built behind
now for that I am subscribing u
I really like this new series. It will help get the basics for doing your projects. I'm interested about your sculpting foam (e.g. your diorama waterfall).
+Gallowglass Thanks! Yes, hot wire foam cutters is coming up.
epicfantasy Thank you!
what kind of paint do you use? and will spray do? and which do you prefer spray paint or the one you use? and is the paint you use cheaper?
holy crap, you are crazy talented! If you read this, what kind of paint do you recommend to paint foam boards? I would like to make some jewelry displays :)
very nice. I enjoyed your video. very informative.
Thank you! I love your video! I wonder if I could use foam board to make shallow shelving to hold my wool needle-felted small dolls... hmm
Thank you so much, I like your video and subscribe :)
Great new series! I really enjoy videos of tips and tricks about tools and materials, really gets the creative juices flowing! Also, please, if you can, make a tutorial about that desk organizer, I really need to make one of those for my studio and would love to have one like yours. Thanks so much, Will!
+Rocket Girl I should have shot video when I made it! Maybe I will do a web tutorial with pics.
+epicfantasy that would be cool! Thanks :)
thank you
Cool video. Very useful.
Huzzah! top notch information here good sir.
+X.david Williams Thanks :)
thanks bro for this epic video but a question from where we buy foam board
Thankyou for all this information 👍How much weight can these foam boards take on them without bending?
I was wondering if foam board can be used as a base for 3d air dry clay painting
I painted both sides of my poster board with acrylic paint/water mix on both sides and it still bowed. I then misted it with water and pressed it in between wax paper for 72+ hours (as one would to flatten cardboard) When I removed the board after a few minutes I noticed it started to bow again. Lol🤔.
I thought I'd try using polymer varnish on a corner to see if that'll flatten it for good. I do welcome any advice/resolves to this issue? If I figure it out I'll share my resolution here to help others.
I will say I enjoyed this video. Very informative as to different ways to use poster board and various tools. You've done some wonderful things with this board. Thanks for sharing!
UPDATE: I checked on the poster board that I had pressing for 72+ hours. I guess all it needed was time and patience because it stayed flat. 😉☺
thanks
Nice X-acto knife throwing skills in the intro bro
+Death Rhino Thanks, I should do an xacto dart board, of course out of foam board!
that is amazing
Great video
Can i use the rabbet cutter in thicker foam broad ? Please let me know . Thank you

I will appreciate to much
Thanks a lot🙂👌
Hi Do you think foam Board will make a good backing for art prints already have the mounts but not the backing Board . Great tutorial .
How do you keep the paper from coming off the foam board after painting it? Which glue is the best for foam?
I was wondering if you'd think it would be ok to do a puzzle on a piece of foam board. Not to mount it, just for easy flipping when through, so I can tape the back.
Any hints to keep sharp corners of the foam board?
You sound like Teddy from Bob's Burgers and it's the best thing ever.
Sir I loved it but can you please tell that where we can get it from outside
Damn i hope I can find this at my local diy stores
Foam board is a basic material I've used in many crafts, including costumes, props, and dioramas. It's versatile if you're imaginative.
Hey epicfantasy do you think foam board is durable to bend as far as like say around your forearm for armor?
Can you use foam boards on the inside of mobile home trailers walls to redecorate the house?

Can foam board be used to insulate a box for shipping? If not, do you have any suggestions?
Cool
