On their quest to build everything from EVA foam they teamed up to create a LotR dwarf style helmet from just a few sheets of EVA foam. Follow along as they use simple tools and materials to transform this humble material into an epic, wearable piece of art.

Reminds me of skyrim
I absolutely will do that! Thanks for all your amazing content and generosity btw. Love you two!
If you guys haven't already done it, I would love to see a video on how to make the helmet wearable- as in what to put inside so you can securely attach it to your noggin. :)
I see Optimus Prime and Bumblebee instead of dwarven helms but then again I'm nuts!

BUY MY HOOOORRRNNNSSS!
Dwarves are always horny. Must be the beards.
BUY ALL THEIR BOOKS!
Horrrrrrnnnnnnnnns....
Wooow this is a meme in the cosplay community
@@apocalyptomp9885 Needs to be on a T-shirt....oh wait!
Lol
Also I would never say "please"...
😂🤣
Hahaa! You're SO right! =D
Svetlana just sics her secret army of attack Corgis on any who refuse to buy the books, lol.
@@ThatBassistK Attack Corgis wearing Dogmeat Armor.
Nope, no you would never
It was so incredible to see my two favorite nerds back together making foamish goodness in the shop again. It's been too long. Amazing as always and now I can't wait to try out some different designs on my own helmets! Thank you for being awesome!
Thank YOU for your fantastic support! We really appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos :)
I know. I've missed them so much.
I find myself sitting here watching the video, and bobbing my head every time Bill and Britt start to dance. Very weird but I'm not complaining
You are not alone.
Prop making is fun!
I er uh speak for everyone in the community when I say, you two are adorable together.
@@chrismsmalley2626 So? Height isn't everything as long they love each other
IronBloodedMexican pretty sure he was joking ;)
I thought they were a couple
Gawww thanks! We have lots of fun together :) We're married for a reason!
@@punishedprops Yeah it's pretty great seeing two people have so much fun.
Remember non American folks, you can get the digital version as well to avoid the shipping cost, and it is just as good. Personally as much as I love physical books, having it on the screen while you are doing it is actually a lot easier.
So, buy their books!
True! Thanks so much for sharing!
Those are both very good looking helmets, I really like how the Dwarven helmets look so heavy. Great job!
Isn't that cool?
@@punishedprops It is! And it's a nice coincidence this came out now since I was just looking at some pics of dwarven helmets :)
It's always so cool when that first layer of primer, plasti-dip, paint, etc goes on a project. It instantly transforms a project that looks like nothing but a bunch of material with visible seams and noticeable defects into a smooth surface that's just screams perfection. Great job Bill.
Thanks very much! It's always hard to get to that step - easy to think it's not going right! But then bam. Magic.
Helmet looks great Bill and Britt and Thanks for the shout out using my HD-Foam!!!!!
Any time good buddy!
Those helmets look wicked, great to see some LoTR props.( it totally looks like Gimli’s helmet)
Thanks very much!
Hey guys, I just wanted to thank you for all of the amazing content that you've put out over the years and for inspiring me! I was just recently accepted into my college of choice for "Film and Television" and "Production Design" and if it were for these videos I wouldn't have known what direction I wanted to take my life in. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything. I wish you the best!
That's absolutely fantastic!! Congrats on your acceptance, we're so stoked you find our channel fun and helpful :)
Fun as always. Watching you two having fun working on a project brought some brightness to a somewhat gloomy day. Thanks for that.
You're so welcome :) Happy our videos can make a difference
Very inspiring project has encouraged me to try a dwarven helmet.
The 2 variations look great.
Thanks!
The book is fantastic!! So glad to see you guys with a great project today.
Thanks so much!
The attention to detail throughout this build is amazing! The helmet looks great
Thanks so much!
Awesome Job Bill and Britt. Love the New Studio.
We really do too :) Thanks for watching!
Welcome back! I’m very happy to see you both...missed you guys, and these vids! Hope you both are well and safe! Beautiful helmets...love the paint job
Thank you so much for your support!
that shop is a dream come true
We agree :)
Another way of doing the recessed parts is cutting all the was through, then gluing it back together. Then after you glue the parts back together you can run a knife along the backside to even it out. This also preserves the "finish" of the foam when you use something like foam fitness tiles. I'm not 100% sure who I saw doing that. Might have been you or Ted? But I found it to be a bit more forgiving.
We use that technique often! Super handy.
It is nice to see Britt in the last couple videos
Yeah!
I bought my copy a couple of weeks ago and I can't wait until I can actually sit down and read through it!
Fantastic! Hope you enjoy it :)
Brit seems like a good friend:)
She's my best friend :)
At 6:26 you had me thinking of the "Checking the cell structure!" from Woody Allen's 'Sleeper', during the "Cloning of the nose" scene.
Fantastic build, all the 'hiding the crimes' detail...well thought out.
Thanks so much for watching!
I love the foam assembly music
Thanks so much for watching!
I adore how thorough your build videos are.
We're so glad you think so!
YESSSS I miss seeing the two of you working on a project together... 👍
❤
Glad to see you guys back!
We're loving being back in the shop!
@@punishedprops we missed ya 😁👍
Such a great vid, I will for sure look into buying that book!
Thanks so much!
I'd love to see a full set of dwarven armor!!
That would be epic
Wonderful to see you two putting out videos again!
We're enjoying it :)
Aaaaawww the power of two restores the true dwarthen helmet
Love Highlander so much!
how did I not see this till now? also YAY! it fits with glasses
Thanks so much for watching!
That blue color really is pretty
Thanks! Blue is my favorite color :)
I've been looking for a good EVA foam dwarf helmet since quarantine started. Lo and behold, the gods of foam cosplay have answered my prayers at last. Great build you guys!
Aww we're so glad you're excited about the build!
so planned through...no time for errors...minimized to a minimum...i dont work with patterns that much but it sure seems helpful when it has to be so exactly as yours...awesome build
They can be super helpful!
This lady seems like such a sweetheart, she's oozing niceness all over the place lol
Very nice.
The Battle of the Foam Armies :)
Hah! Totally!
Magnificent piece of work ❤
Wonderful to see you two playing, err presenting, another workshop video. :)
Foamsmith 3 has been on my birthday wish list since it came out. Only a couple of weeks to go now - I can hardly wait!
Fantastic! Happy early birthday!
@@punishedprops The postie dropped the book into our mailbox just as we were going out to birthday lunch. Thank you, Bill and Britt!
It's great to see Brit working on things in a video again instead of just holding the camera.
We love working together :)
it feels like forever since seeing your work.
We're back we're back!
Soo good to "hear" from you guys. That you both look super good. Pandemic has not slowed you down.
Thanks very much! We're doing our best! Hope you are too :)
So great to have you guys back! Seems like ages since the last big project. Pleeeease do a Stormtrooper Helmet build, maybe one Original trilogy and one Sequel trilogy?
Have you seen my tank trooper helmet build? ruclips.net/video/8DPUVGWFYFs/видео.html
YES, I love LOTR and the Dwarves are my favorite, great job!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video!
I like that the the only way to get you in the shot you had to cut half of brits head off. Need to start a punished props step stool fund :)
Great to see you again so soon! Now to watch some foam build goodness :)
Woooohooooo!!
The new garden is planted. Only needs basic weeding for now. Time to get back to building
Woohoo!
Awesome build video it was great seeing you both in a foam build video!!
Thank you so much!
Britt is back, awesome! I almost forgor how small Bill is 😜
Hah! She's just a super tall glorious Amazon :)
@@punishedprops I can only agree with that. And I thing, that we all enjoy your dynamic.
Who dares dislike this video lol its amazing!! I'll buy the book soon!! So many projects so little money to work with lol
The eternal struggle! We really appreciate your support :)
I am so glad i get here!
Perfect timing, i'm just about to remake my Earthfury helm to put light-up eye visors in :) best timing for a helmet making vid TYTY
Right on!
The gold/bronze and blue, gives me some big Egyptian-esque vibes to be honest.
I can see it!
love the music bill!!
Thanks!
I just finished making my foam head a few minutes ago! It was a little harder than I expected but turned out great!!
AHHhhhhhhhh the drip of silver paint!! lol
Womp :)
Awesome! Love the colour scheme!
Thanks so much!
"pick your favourite thing and make it" I love that mentality
I just came across your channel and I wish I found it earlier.You guys are awesome!
Hey welcome! We're super glad you enjoy our content!
Thank you so much for this tutorial video friend
I loved the absolute adorableness that was happening throughout this video between you two. A true goals marriage. :)
Awww thanks :)
I would love to see a full Dwarven Armour set!
Thanks for letting us know you're interested in that build! We have our current schedule worked out, but there could be room for this kind of video in future plans.
Oh my gosh....thank you sooo much for this!!
You're so very welcome!
The blue is very Warhammer 40,000!
Nice to see the pair of you, an adorable couple!
Totally! Thanks for watching :)
6:15...I just wanna do the Charleston now😁
Britt was right, this is very therapeutic
Totally!
@@punishedprops You guys are the best! I love your videos and you inspired me to become a prop maker!
Saurons helmet would be so awesome!
Thanks for the suggestion!
It's great to see you guys again. I've missed your videos terribly.
With a few minor changes you could turn this design into a Conan (1982 movie version) baddie helmet. :)
Totally! Thanks so much for your support :)
So cool! Last weekend (after trying to make my own template) I bought the basic helmet pattern to create Gimli's helmet from lotr for this halloween. Its my first build and I'm really exited to continue on the helmet. Your video's have been really helpful so far!
That's wonderful!
you are both too adorkable for words !!! and bill really is a big ol softie :p im so happy that you love working together so much :D besties are hard to find
We're super glad we get to do this awesome job together
@@punishedprops me too :D its fun watching u nerd out
So happy to see you again! I love the idea of adding film to the helmets, and make it into a face shield (because Quarantimes), though I'd need to find some way to keep it fog-free ::ponders::
That's the eternal struggle with any helmet with a visor! I hear helmet fans are pretty nifty!
How about pushing a few pieces of long iron binding wire into the foam from the edge, parallel to the plane of the foam, then gluing the ends so they stay in place.
This would (I think) create a stiffener that would make the cheek pieces hold their shape really well?
You could also make a jig that would push the wires in - nice and parallel to the flat surfaces of the foam.
Also sharpen the end of the wire first - before pushing into place.
You guys are my favorite, rock on !
Aww, thanks so much!
Happy to see a new vid! You guys are awesome!
Thanks so much!
Love your work it has inspired me to try and work with foam ...keep up the great job ..love you guys
Heck yeah! Have so much fun! Share what you make with us on Twitter: twitter.com/chinbeard
I had so much fun watching this thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks so much for watching!
Welcome back!
Thanks!
I love your videos been watching you for years now, and your videos make me happy
That's fantastic to hear, thank you so much for your support!
Guys, this is awesome. I'm buying your books for sure. Also, I'm making one of those so I can wear it when I play DnD haha.
Heck yeah! Share what you make with us on Twitter: twitter.com/chinbeard
Awesome job! You never fail to amaze me!
Thanks so much!
Looks amazing! Thank you for your instructional videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
I bought the books, and I hope to start making stuff with foam in the near future. Who knows, maybe a helmet like this : )
That's wonderful! Have so much fun, and thank you for watching our video!
Love all the vids y'all have made over the years. Been a long time subscriber and happy to see how the channel has grown
Thank you so much!
The color palate is very Fallout-ish and with the grime, you'd expect the lone survivor to be wearing it. Watching a video, it's hard to gauge the actual time invested in this project? How many hours would you say this takes to complete? It's great watching you two, made my morning.
Thank you so much for watching! It's hard to say. We typically spend several full days on a project but the filming process adds time as well.
Stress level:
- Low
- Medium
- High
- sticking things with contact cement
Mood
couples who build together stay together!! :)
It's true :)
Missed your guys faces. You two are so cute. Awesome video as usual.
Aww thanks :)
Nice job!!! always your work is a class! regards from Chile!
Thank you so much!
That could be used for the base of a Nova Corps helmet.
Also you two are super cute!
Gaaww thanks :)
Why would it matter if you do trace out two rights unless the foam has a pattern on one side? surely you can flip the foam over?
If a mockup head is very handy does that imply a mockup hand would be very heady???
You two are AWESOME!!!! What a fantastic project :-)
Hah! I imagine it would be! Thanks for watching :)
Beautiful work as always, Bill and Britt! Hey, are you guys Warhammer fans? Why not make Ghal Maraz, the Hammer of Sigmar? That would be a perfect companion for these fantasy helms!
Thanks so much for watching!
this is incredible! as a cosplayer this is great! it would be incredible to see y'all make the X-Kairo launcher from Siege!
Thanks for watching!
Hey bill and brit! Ive been a long time fan of the channel, (now that i think about it its been over 3 years!) and i just bought your first book. Youve been an extremely huge inspiration for me and I wanted to support you! So im super excited to see whats inside the pages of book 1. Also ive just begun writing my own scifi novel! Anyway, keep up the amazing content. And i couldnt comment without a project request, so how about a legends of tomorrow chronos helmet? Have a great day!
Hey that's really fantastic! We appreciate your support so much!
Yess a New video, thank you!
Thank YOU for watching!
Britt's pressure wiggles when cutting the foam, same. I'll have to remember to think about cutting into the cutting mat.
It's so easy to do, especially with a good sharp knife
I’ve bought all of your other books and I will probably buy the new one eventually. With that said, I could not for the life of me pay attention to the plug for you book because of the glob of paint rolling down the helmet! I wanted to reach in my screen and scrub that in!
We like to add a sense of danger to all our ads
Blue helmet is definitely reminding me of a Space Marine helmet
Totally!
