The Hans and Franz "pump you up" impression in the beginning had me laughing pretty good lol
Glad you liked it 😂🙌
Not gonna lie, now I kinda want to see Steve doing a full video with an Arnold voice.
❤
🤣
The graphite powder is a nice touch not something I would have thought of. 💪
Thanks! Yeah it takes it to a much more realistic sheen!
*Laughs* You definitely had me chuckling, Steve. I wouldn't quit prop making for Hollywood just yet, but you're close. The weights are quite cool and I know a few nerds in my playgroup who would love to get pics holding a set. Hopefully I can buy enough foam soon to make my own. Thanks, Steve. You rock!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😂🙌🙌
Keep up the good work! I started my fitness journey a year ago when I realized that for a 6 ft man being 110 pounds was not normal. My life has improved substantially and it brings me joy that my favorite prop maker is taking the steps to improve his health! Your an inspiration to us all!
Thank you very much!! and yes I have seen a big difference in how I look and feel. It's so important to not take your overall health for granted, I really see that now. I'll keep going and get even better so I can continue to inspire others in the maker community 🙌 Glad to hear you are doing better as well
Great work on the metal finish. Very realistic. Thanks.
Thanks! 👍
This could’ve very easily fooled me from afar. The cast iron texture really sells it!
Thank you very much!
Hi Steve. Have you ever thought about making a Vampire Hunters Kit? I think that would be an awesome prop!😊
Those weights look real. You did an amazing job making them SKSProps.
Thank you very much!
You are welcome.🙂👍
we need more of that GIGA chad voice 😀
😅😅
Loved this! although expect to hear from AH-NOLD'S lawyers ..
Thank you!! 👍
What if you seen a weapon made out of eva foam but having trouble finding good photos to make it. I think it would be fun to make for events I go to and a movie I'm working on. The eva foam i have are the diamond floor mats from Walmart
I have used the floor mats for some films and comercials i have worked on...
@@Jaspstudio I have a picture of the weapon. It looks like a club but also a stick.
Just drawn it out on your own. All of my designs are hand drawn on poster board.
@@SKSProps it has nobs sticking out like they was cut of and not sure how to do those. Sorry working with eva foam is all new to me stil
Could you make Green Goblin'S Helmet?
Imo, you probably coulda saved quite a bit of foam if you cut the smaller weights out of the center of the bigger ones. You'd still need a "solid" one for the outside and inside sides of the large weights, but the ones in the middle could've been mostly hollow and not looked any different.
I own a foam company do you have any idea how many stacks of foam I have in storage 😂😂
But if you were making huge plates then yes
@@SKSProps Right, but we don't.
@@CthulhusDream and that’s why I make the videos to inspire, but to make it it’s all on you. you can always increase the scale, cut corners, and build yours however you want
Can you make yuji new arms in jjk Please
Can you make adam's helmet/mask from hazbin hotel please ??
Time to deadlift 1000lbs 😈
Foam Gains!!
I will be th first to ask. SKS PROPS....NATTY OR NOT? 😂😂😂 IFYKYK and even if you do know.....who cares 😂
I have a big glass of foam dust as a preworkout 😂
the outer plate should say 5 lb, not 90 lbs
Incorrect, if you had watched the video I mentioned fixed plate rack dumbbells have the overall weight designation on the outer plate not the individual plate weight. That’s also why it doesn’t have a screw clamp on the end
@@SKSProps I stand corrected. I've never seen anyone use fixed dumbbells with plates before. Didn't even realize they existed. Most fixed dumbbells have solid/brick ends.
So are you Hans or Franz? 😹
