- Frank Ippolito joins us at Adam's shop for another step-by-step tutorial in prop making. This time, we learn how to make a two-part silicone mold that we can use to cast resin copies of complex objects. We demonstrate the technique by duplicating a lightsaber prop made by Adam!

Want to learn more about molding and casting? Here's how to mold and cast foam props:
My only major critique is with Norm; you tend to talk over your guests - if you are talking to an expert, let them explain their craft. You come across as a "know-it-all" and it's annoying. Even if you have to fake not having as a much knowledge in something, it allows your guest to feel special. There were moments when Frank had the face and verbal tone of "I've had enough of your s***!"
So you already need a lightsaber to make a lightsaber?
FINE, ILL FUCKING WATCH THE VIDEO. NOW STOP SHOWING UP IN MY RECCOMMENDED SHIT.
"No special equipment needed"
It’s been 5 years since I last watched this and now it just randomly showed up in my recommend
Stop being in my suggestions.
Me: Watches five minutes of them talking
anyone else find this video incredibly satisfying?
DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL THE OVERWHELMING NEED TO EAT THIS SILICONE MOLD

I don't get why people are annoyed with Norm. He is asking important questions so that the viewer can fully understand and then even replicate the process. He is not an idiot like so many people want to call him. To use an analogy, without Norm, this video would be like a guitar cover of a song. With Norm it's a step by step tutorial of how to play the song. The cover is for show, and the tutorial is for information.

I hate when the mic is so sensitive that you can hear the gross noises they make with their mouth / breathing.
what amazed me the most in this video was how utterly clean was the whole proccess... i'm sure i'd have silicone and resin all over the place, and my hair and etc!!!!! that clenliness screams PRO!
I have actually never really watched videos from this kind of "work", but now that I found this, I recognize that it really satisfies me to watch people make things.
After pouring the resin in the mold, you can put it on a vibrating table to force all the air bubbles to the opening. I use this method in my pours and get them to come out perfect.
Life rule: dont try to pretend you know shit you actually dont
I don't know why everybody thinks the Asian guy is stupid... He's clearly asking questions that he knows the answer to whenever he thinks there needs to be clarification so what they're doing can be more easily understood. It's for the viewers. It's a storytelling device.
That was fascinating. One thing I especially appreciate with the questions that simplified things especially for people like me to help understand the process and what's need to achieve the end result. I've never used resin before, cause I never thought it would be available or easy to use since I've tried making arts and crafts the harder way. After watching this video, the ideas and possibilities are pouring in so fast to the point where I'm getting a head ache. Now, it feels like that all things, art and crafts feels possible and endless.
