Welcome to the Chanel Jake
Great video. Sanding sticks are such a great idea.
+Christian Petermann hey Christian Thanx for Stopping By, Yeah I love em. Got the Idea from the Great Evil Ted Smith, and Have been Using them For a while.
I’ve always wanted my own Mandalorian armor looks like I can achieve what I’ve wanted to Do my whole life this is the way 👍
This is the Way
Stone Fisted Props lucky for me my mom has a friend who’s son is a artist He knows about sizing and printing and things like that I bet he could help me with this
Awesome build! I want to build me my Armor! This is the Way!💥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😁👍🏿
excellent tutorial. I am at the beginning stages of my armour....have all the sintra, just need to get cutting and forming. this vid really helps!
Thank you Glad it was helpful cant wait to see your finished product. Be sure to watch pt 2 and 3 of this series for more.
Exactly the video I've been looking for stonefist bump!to you sir awesome vid!
+Stay Frosty thank you for the Kind words. More Videos coming soon. Having An Issue with computer Past week so Havnt been able to edit and upload. But Videos will be coming Soon
Been wanting to go from foam to plastic for my armor since I think plastic looks tons better, glad you got this tutorial on here cuz it's one hell of a good way to learn the basics. Now I just gotta get the money and buy all this shit lol
Thank you so much for in-depth tutorials on making the armor. I'm making the mando season 2 verison of boba fett soon hopefully.
Thank you for watching, hope you found some value. Would love to see what you come up with when your done
Thanks for the video. Thinking strongly about starting something soon.
You're welcome, And Just so you Know once you start the Hardest part is already done.
Gonna be making this as a summer project. This artist is tryna better(not the word I was looking for but eh lol) her crafting skills
Hope you learned something that will help you In you're Journey, would love to see what you create.
great informational video. all other videos are jump cuts with finish product like sir i didn’t learn anything
Thank you I hope this Series has Taught you at least 1 thing that you didnt already know.
Stone Fisted Props i learned a lot. this is the way
@@CptSaveAHoe. This is the way.
I so need to do this to my armor cut outs.
+Worst Hero Ever Cosplay glad I could be of Some Inspiration Post A Link to your Current progress so I can take a look
Thanks for this tutorial. I've been working in foam and got some sintra, and been struggling with it. (Glue not sticking, sintra not forming right, etc.) And I've been frustrated and honestly considered giving up. However, you convinced me not to give up entirely, but rather just take a brief break.
So Glad that you found some Value, I hope to Be adding more up to date Videos After the Hollidays.
If you hav'nt already be sure to Subscribe and Hit the Notifications Bell so you'll know when they go up.
Loved this video! Definitely going g to use your technique. I do have a question, what would you recommend for the helmet?
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤
Gotta start bending with a plastic hammer and anvil lmao. I suppose crafting a signet out of the same plastic isn't too far from the realm of possibility. Great vid brother. THIS IS THE WAY
Yes Signets can be made from sintra in the early stages of making the armor. Also might I suggest another method, sort of a combination. By using g (depending on your location) some sort of Mixable Resin putty that Hardens like Green stuff, lilliput or epoxy sculpt. To make you're signet, I would Cutout the base from Sintra then Sculpt my signet on top to give it a more 3 dimensional look. I'm waiting on some epoxy sculpt and will be doing a small tutorial for the next set of videos. So stay tuned
@@StoneFistedProps Awesome I can't wait to check that out. I was thinking that a guy could take a chunk of sintra and taking some different tools to it, and sand it like you did on the edges. Then glue the finished signet to a shoulder piece. I am at the very beginning of learning how to do all this stuff, but I think I want to build a heavy infantry type of mando gear. I'm strongly considering using this method of building the parts that kinda pay tribute to the old mounted knights but is still Mandalorian. I'll have to be creative with the design but it seems like a fun challenge.
@@lanedouglas6690 yup You could definately sand and sculpt Sintra
Great vid love your genuine helping attitude. Question what is the thickness of your Sintra ? Looks like 3 mm but not sure, I’m confused about what size to use.
Thank you for the Kind words. And yes I was using 3mm
How many pieces of the Sinatra should I buy for a whole cosplay?
Great videos bro! I'm planning on getting started soon on making some armor but i wanted to ask you what would you recommend for armor? Sintra, Kydex or Foamex?
I Personally Use and Recommend Sintra as that's the Thing I have worked with up till now. I Know a Member who used Kydex which is very durable but not as easy to work with. I have never used Foamex however.
I look forward to seeing your progress.
Excellent video.
+Andrew Shute thank You
I'm watching this in 202O and it's still amazing
Thank you
thanx i got question for u i printed my patterns off at 200 scale and it dont look right and i got enough spacing but it looks weird cus my shirt wat do i do
Email me a Picture of you With the patterns taped on, stonefistedproductions@gmail.com put Mandalorian Sizing help in the Description
Cool vid, lots of great tips in here. I love those sanding sticks. Question: what thickness are those pvc boards you're using? The 3mm I'm guessing? Also, any brand in particular or it doesn't really matter. I'm looking forward to making some armor and buckets for my son and I. :)
Thank you, Yes In the video these are 3mm, "Sintra" is just a Nickname given in the industry. They are Expanded foam pvc board. And any Brand will do. I get mine from a Local Supplier called Acme plastics here in Northern NJ. Good luck on your Armor, I would love to see How it turns Out.
What's the diff in Sintra and EVA foam?
If I make a base template and use my own measuring, could I make stormtrooper armor? And after that, could I make a part where it connects to make an assault spacetrooper suit?
This all depends on your Measuring and template skills, storm trooper armor has a lot of smooth complex shapes. which is why they chose to go the original route and vacuum form the parts. however with enough patience and ingenuity i'm sure you could make something amazing.
Hey great video, do you find that the 3mm thick Sinatra thick enough for this build, many thanks. 👍
I Have always used 3mm for my Personal Builds But some I have worked on and seen Benifit from 6mm, However it is A Bit Harder to work with. But it is Far more Durable then 3mm. I Have Recently switch to 3D Ptinted Atmor, and Hope to be able to Record some New Content this year as I'm in a New space that's a Bit more limited to Build in.
Thank you for Viewing and I hope that the Video gave you something.
@@StoneFistedProps hey, yes it was great info, thanks for sharing will like n sub👍
Hey, great tutorial! I was wondering if there were any stores that sell the heat moldable plastic you used. I’d rather not have to order it online if I don’t have to.
What I would suggest is to see if you Have a local sign shop in you're area, and ask them if they Have any scrap Sintra they can sell you, sometimes you may get lucky and get it for free
Stone Fisted Props I’ll look into that, thank you!
Hi! Great Video! What thickness Sintra did you use?
3MM
What do people normally use to stick the armor onto the suit beneath?
There are many attachment methods However the Most popular being A Mix of Industrial sticky a d sew on Velcro. Fuzzy side Sew on Goes on You're soft Armor parts like Vest a d Flight suit, a d the Stick Loop Harder side goes on you're Armor parts.
Hey Nedd I may have told you at the armor party my modern templates were too small (they were the 5ft templates)so they recommended legacy. But I think I really want to do a modern kit. Did you use the templates 6ft plus from MMCC or did you draw your own?
+FreeFall Customs when I downloaded Mine They had small med and Large and xL . The Ones I used in the Video ar XL from wizard of Flight. If Youd Like I can Maybe Make a Video On Sizing of Plates Next. As a Supplemental
Nedd Jacobs that would be awesome. I would really appreciate it. Just whenever you get to it. I don't know if they have the templates up on the site sized like that anymore but I'll double check.
-Don
Is there templates to use for cutting out the armour blanks please?
Great tutorial, thank you for this! There is a large list of templates at the MM site, do you remember which one you used here?
Sorry for the late responce I used the Wizard of flights Template file 5.9 on the Mercs forums. Hope that helps
And thank you for the kind words. Hope you found value. Be sure to subscribe as I have a Tutorial coming up dealing with templates and there sizing.
Great video. Ive been taking way too much time doung pepekura. My questions are: Where do i find this pvc board? Is it sold at a hime depo or lowes? This isnt the foam core board that you get at craft stores is it? And id really like to see a helmet video. Or would anyone make me a helmet. Thanks so much again for this great tutorial.
markbananagrabber i Get My Sintra (Pvc Board) from a Local Plastic Supplier However Home Depot Just started Carying 1/4" (6mm) PVC board Sintra.
markbananagrabber When I Start The Videos Up again Soon I Have a Helmet Tutorial Planned As well As Some Weapon Tutorials.
hi good night where I can harvest the sintra since I went to home depot and they did not have it now if I use acrylic sheets what would be the result and what measure of thickness do you recommend another thing where you harvested the templates you can turn me the page where you got them please thank you
Sorry for the late reply, while acrylic can be heated to a degree. it requires far to much heat to make the complex bends you would need. also the acrylic depending on thickness may snap. I know here locally Home depot has started carying Sintra sheets in varying thicknesses.
What’s your advice for someone whose making their first set
It goes without saying Research into what your final design will be, next important step is getting the correct size templates for your body shape and size is crucial. Paper is cheaper then plastic so skipping this step will cost you later if you don't properly size your Armor templates.
Also joining the Mandalorianmercs.org forums can be an invaluable tool in seeing the thousands of available options taht may spark your creativity.
And of course watching all my Videos lol and subscribing and hitting that notify bell would be another great start. :-)
How big are is that sheet of sintra you are using? I'm looking for them but I can't find em.
Thank for viewing. I purchase my sheets a A Local Plastics manufacture Near me in NJ, at four Feet by 8 Foot sheets of 3mm. For Ruffly $30 US. You can Purchase sintra Via Amazon (I should have a Link in the description) as well I know many who do I believe they sell them in 24x24" sheets and the Prices Varry.
I Have also heard that Home Depot here in the US also carries Sintra, I beleive they Have it as PVC sheets listed but you would have to check.
Also you can check any local sign shops, They use it for signage, and may have sheets of scrap large enough for you that they would most likely throw away. They could either sell it to you cheap, or may just give you some if you explai. What you are using it for.
Again Than you for Viewing, And if you found Value in the Tutorial please Hit the Like and Subscribe Button as well as the Notification bell it helps me out and I appreciate you.
Check back in and let me know how it goes.
Does the 501st allow sintra armor for boba fett because I want to be accurate and save money.
You would have to check with your local Garrisons GML, for that info as I'm not to versed in the 501st CRLs. I assume if you can make the Hard parts match the correct Curveture and thickness, then I personally do not see why Sintra wouldn't be acceptable. Again I would talk to your local Garrisons GML about it though.
Do you possibly have a link to the Sintra you buy? Every time I look for Sintra I get different results (open cell, closed cell, foam board). I just don’t want to end up with something I have no use for. Thanks!
Sorry for the late response, I pick up my sintra locally, about a half hour drive from my house. however this is the Sintra I use: amzn.to/35lZWUs
Hope this helps
Does this work for acrylic plexiglass too? I don't have sintra but I do have plexiglass
Depending on the Thickness It could work However with plexi, you have to be extremely careful as its Prone to Cracking and shattering very easy. I personally wouldnt use Plexiglass to make Mando armor.
Sintra isn't a thermoplastic, its expanded PVC. Worbla is a thermoplastic and they are both brandnames.
Check out the mandalorian brotherhood group on Facebook. Great group. I really recommend them.
Thank you I'll have a look
When I printed these they came out as regularly sized paper and the proportions where weird. How do I fix this?
Each Template Has a Ruler Key Marking You have to size them Up Or down by percentage Also Uncheck scale to Fit. If you're Printer supports poster printing use that as well. Also Checkbthe box that says Crop Mark's. All Printer manufacturers are different and without seeing what you Have that's the Best advice I can Give. I will see if I can do a Quick tutorial this weekend on Scaling and Sizing
have you used sintra for the helmet ever?
Yes I have dabbled But only for Acents and strengthening
So what hardware store sells sintra? I just need to know because I'm working on my first set of Fett style Mandalorian armor.
The Only Hardware store that I know of that Carrys any form of Sintra is Home Depot
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Can you use sintra for clone armor
It May Be a Bit Harder due to all the complex shapes (Maybe better off Getting Vac formed Armor. However, with enough trial and error I don't see why Sintra couldn't be used.
I Know Currently Clone armor is Vacuum Formed from ABS plastic over Bucks (Forms) to great the shapes with details.
How thick should the Sinatra sheet be?
I use 3mm and sometimes 6mm. But My armor is predominantly 3mm
Is thicker sintra better or do you want the thinner sintra?
Thicker is more durable as in 6mm, but its a bit tougher to cut and requires a bit more heat to shape. you can also layer 3mm Sintra to create some cool effects and looks.
What thickness Sintra did you use?
3mm
How do you get the templates? I don’t have a printer
Right Now The Only Method I know of is By Downloading them And printing them off of the official MMCC website.
I Mean if you're Good at Drafting you could Probly draw you're Own templates But the Accuracy of those would depend on you're Proficiancy
Could you use a blow dryer instead of a heat gun?
No A Blow dryer will not get Hot enough to Give you Consistancy. Get a Cheap 14.00 heat gun from Harbor Freight and Use there 20% off coupon
How thick is the Sintra your using buddy
3mm Sintra
You might have answered this question but how do you make it so your armour is measured to your size
Sorry for the late reply, I use the templates that are in the above links in the description. i then cut them out and tape them on adjusting and sizing up or down as needed. I do have a video Coming for just this. however Covid has put a damper on the videos i planned to release this year.
Hey dude, nice tutorial and really easy to understand. Would you be so kind and share the exact templates, cause there are many different at mercs and also the size of the pvc you are using in this vid? Thx a lot and greetz from Germany
Thank you for your kind words. I will see if I can put a direct link to the templates I used, as I did not create them I cannot offer them as my own.
The Size PVC (Sintra) I used in the video is 3mm
Thank you very much! 3mm should not be complicated to cut by hand^^ what kind of suit or vest would you recommend for the armor parts to attach? Greetz
@@ddb4311 I Tend To Go with A two Peice Dickies work Suit that will compliment you're Color scheme. There are also many Great tutorials Out on Flak Vests for armor Attatchment. I have a Few on the Calabder to record for soft Parts, coming in the Next Month or so so stay tuned. I will also be doing a Helmet Tutorial as well.
Yeah, a helmet would be great as well. For me its the most detailed part of the beskar. For the templates, the size and how to print them in the correct size are all the information i need. The metric system you know :D
Nedd - thank you. This is the motivation I was looking for to get started. I have been looking for an online tutorial and your vids are legit my man. Thank you!
I have questions:
What size sheet of 3mm Sintra should I use when tracing out my template? Where do you recco I buy?
What method are you using to attach armor to say, a flight suit? I was thinking of sewing/gluing on pro-grade velcro, I was just curious about your thoughts.
How can I PM you? I thought I saw an email addy and I saw your FB profile - I'd like to send pics of my work and send questions if (more likely when) they come up.
Thanks so much for your time, my man. Love that creative vibe! Keep it up. I'm following/ subscribed, looking forward to what you put out next.
Thank you Sooo much for the Kind Words. I'm Humbled by the fact that I can continue to Pass on the knowledge I have gained.
I have sooo many new Videos planned and some PDF full walk through in the works on some Brand new Additions I'm making to my armor.
Questions I love em.
1. I buy my sheets locally in 4'x8' sheets of 3mm However you may not be able to source them at that size depending on were you are. ( you could reach out bgg to local sign shops and see what bv they have. )
As far as Attachment methods, I use a Combination of Industrial sticky back velcro and Industrial size sew on Velcro.
Heres a Link to what I use: amzn.to/32j55e0
And here is some Sintra:amzn.to/3bKj1Rz
Again Thank you for the Words the Follows and the Likes.
Also Hit me up on FB I would love to see you're Progress.
@@StoneFistedProps I absolutely will my brother! Thank you SO MUCH for the info. It's those little details that have really helped me out. I think I speak for a lot of folks out there (just reading the comments) that you are on to something special, my man. Keep on it - it is INSPIRING! Your hustle n love are evident in your craft. Keep on it, be well and safe out there, and we'll chat again soon. I appreciate ya! 🙂👍😌
Instead of Sintra I used the clearance plastic storage containers. They're like $6 and you can make an entire Mando armor out of one!
That's Awesome, whatever works And is available Is the Key. Just Make sure you Prep the Plastic by sanding to Givebthe Paint "Tooth" to Grab
Hey josh, how did it turn out?
How thick should the plastic be?
I use 3mm
Is this possible to used in the 501st?
Not Sure what the 501st CRL's are, as the only Mandos tabt They Have are BoBa and Jango. However, the techniques can be used for many Cosplays
Where should I buy the sintra
That All depends on where in the world you live. My Suggestions are as Follow. 1st check you're local Sign shops, sometimes you can score free Sintra That to them are Scraps But Would be large enough for you to Build with.
Another option is Amazon.com however the sheets will Be Cut Down to More Mailable sizes so You Would have to Piec two together to Do say a Back Plate. But you can Have it shipped to you.
I Get mine locally from A Supplier/Manufacturer that I buy 4foot by 8 foot sheets from for roughly $30 a Sheet. I acan Make Two to three Armor sets Minus Helmet and Gaunts from one single sheet.
have you happen to know where i might find a template for the female chest plate?
Let me see if I can find one, I know in the Past I have made custom ones for some of our members Based off tape patterns.
@@StoneFistedProps omg that would be amazing. i am having such stupidity finding one and i really think i might be able to make armor using your video as help.
What is the thickness of the plastic!?
The Thickness I am using in the Video is 3mm
How thick should the sintra be??
Sintra can be anywhere from 3mm (What I use) to 6mm or thicker. Just remember the thicker you Go Tbe Harder it is to Cut and maintain clean lines. What I always suggest to people is To Layer 3mm sheets and pieces to Build up Thickness and dimension were you Need it.
I'm Currently working on a Video where I do just that on Some Legacy Mandalorian Armor and Gauntlets. Be sure To be subscribed and tick that Bell to be Notified. And thank you for being part of this Channel.
The big issue for me is my back plate. Because I am doing it solo, it has been difficult for me to get the right shaping into it.
+Tyler Bacon backplate are the Bane of Mandalorian Existence. I have a Recruit who needs stepping If he didn't mind be g on Camera, I'll record some tips
If you can find an old manequin you can use that to form the back or get someone who is closeto you size and body build and shape it using them as your body model.
How large are your sheets of plastic?
Linden Kurtz I buy my Sintra in 3mm 4foot by 8ft sheets from a local plastic supply house
Is sintra easier to cut than kydex? Can you just use a sharp box cutter to cut sintra? Is it cheaper?
Yes Sintra is very easy to cut with a Sharp Box Cutter, you will find at 6mm. It's alot harder and may need a dremel. Just always be aware and practice saftey
@@StoneFistedProps alright cool! I'll use that for my Mando cosplay then! Thanks a lot!
What thickness of Sinatra was used?
Wow! 3yrs and no answer. It appears to be 3mm, by the ease to cut and heat shape.
I'm working on my MMCC approved armor and looking for ideas, tips, things I haven't seen, etc.
where do you get the templates
Hello Cade-6, thanks for Viewing. The Templates are all available for free over on the HTTP://www.Mandalorianmercs.org forums.
Let me ask you this question can you use heavy plastics if you do not have Sintra, I have a huge amount of heavy plastic I have collected up everything from thick plastic used for lawnmowers to heavy tote plastic to light tote plastics?
The Problem with The heavier tote plastics is they Are Manufactured with a Process that Makes them retain there molded shape. My Very first armor was made from Garbage Can plastic. However It was super Hard for me to retain a shape, so I abandoned it for Sintra.
That being Said Test a 2x2 piece And Heat it See if you can work it to a Shape, If it retains the new shape after cooling then your Good to go.
Keep Me Posted on your Progress and If love to see what You come up with. Also feel free to ask any questions you need.
@@StoneFistedProps I have a way of heating the heavier lawnmower plastics I really just hate to see material go to waste if I see someone is throwing out plastic or something I might be able to use late I pic it up. I am planning on joining the Mandalorian Mercs and have started with a few props already. I was just wondering if you think some of this plastic will hold up. it is about 1/16 inch thick .
What mm sintra are you using ? I assume 3mm ?
Yes 3MM
Hey Stone Fisted Props. Do you recommended 2mm or 3mm sintra sheets?
It all depends on What your Going for I personally Like 3mm. But I have Layered Both to get a Nice three dimensional Look.
Stone Fisted Props legend! Thank you for that fast reply. Watch this video increase in views with the new Mandalorian show inbound. I’ll be following your video to create my own Mando. Take care!
@@coreyvb7370 you're welcome, Glad You found some interest. I will be Releasing more Tutorials In a Few weeks. Make sure to hit that Bell to be notified.
And if you have any other questions along the way feel free to ask.
Is the Sintra thickness you’re using a universal size or are there deferent gages in thickness?
Sintra comes in Many Thicknesses, I use 3mm thick Sintra. It's easy to work with and You can Layer it for a Thicker Beefier look
Stone Fisted Props thank you 🙏🏽 I really appreciate all the input. You’ve really helped me a lot 👌🏽✊🏽
@@edwinespinoza6840 Glad I could Help Hope to see your amazing work someday.
thx for the excellent tutorial...unfortunately the sound was very low...
+Jado Mich thank You And I have Since switched to a New Mic
Does worble work the same as sintra??
Aaaaaannd ... I think I’m going to make Grace be Sabine. Lord help me LoL
Also ... any tutorials on female armor building you can recommend? I was searching on the Mando website, but didn’t find templates. Probably user error LoL 🤷🏻♀️
Worbla would need to be backed and wrapped around Eva, and You would have to work a bir harder to get a smooth Finnish as the Worbla has a noticeable texture to it. but once it hardens you'll have the same strength. More steps involved for Worbla but can be used.
Are you using 3mm or 6mm Sintra?
3mm
+kuraitenshiv 3mm
what type of file is it you use?
Basic Flat File you can get at any Hardware store or A set at Harbor Freight
is it what is known as a bastard file?@@StoneFistedProps
How thick is the sintra? Im not sure if you mentioned it I'm watching this at 5:00 am and don't want to be to loud lmao
3mm is what I use in the Video
Hey good tutorial, but I have one question. Would I have to join mercs to use their templates or is it fine not to? I'm two years too young and this is mostly just for halloween/fun.
No You just need to create a free forum profile and you can DL the templates

Thank you I have been told, Nothing really I can do about it Really. Didn't realize at the Time of Making it.
How come EVA foam isn't used all that much in the SW community? Is it because it isn't as sturdy and resilient?
+Sam Chung there Are several Factors for this Let me see if I can Break it down a Bit for you. You See While Eva Is a Wonderfull,versatile Material its Not Used by the Actual main Starwars Groups Because 1. It's not Durable enough to Withstand the Thousands Of Hours The costumes are used for Charities and events. 2. While there are Many Proficiently Skilled Crafters Out there The Material Requires more work Then normal to achieve the Look that Is Mandatory for the Major Groups in there Guidelines. That's Not to say as a Fan you couldn't make your Kit completely from Eva and Cosplay the heck out of it. It's just not a Material that's allowed In the rules and Guidelines of the Major SW Clubs. I Hope that answered your question, and if you Do Make your Sw costume No matter what material I would love to see it.
Well it's foam, it's flexible. But it's not super accurate . It can be cured in poly urethaine, but you might as well cure the PVC with poly urethaine and get a sturdy object, ideally you'd want to use sheet aluminum.
sintra or styrene?
Sintra!
Sintra 3mm
The sound is horrible what's that about?
Had a Bad Mic, But thank you for watching. Hope you were able to take something positive away from the Video
will 6mm work
Yes, It will just be a Little Harder to cut. But Many Mandos use 6mm instead of 3mm
Stone Fisted Props can you do a video on leg and shoulder armor?
@@TheArtisticCat I Have just added you're request to my upcoming Video Cue. I will see if I can get one made in the next few weeks. As this has been requested alot
Only gripe is audio too quiet!
Ty, Realized that as well and have switched to dual audio recording for better audio quality.
What stores sell sintra?
You can Check for Local Sign Shops, Local Plastic Suppliers Also Amazon
@@StoneFistedProps Would a place like Hobby lobby sell Sentra?
@@SchmidtTactical Not that I'm aware of, If they do Maybe to thin to use for armor making. As They sell Thinner Material Used in Model Making.
@@SchmidtTactical do a Google search for Expanded Cell Polystyrene (Sintra) and see what is local to you. I Purchase Mine Here in Northern New Jersey From a Supplier called Acme plastics. They are the Main Distributor in the area to all the Manufacturers and such.
@@StoneFistedProps Ok thanks. What is the ideal thickness to use?
volume is too low, couldnt turn up the volume enuff to really hear you
+Doc Moll thank You for Subscribing. Yes the Mic I used was poor, I have swit chef to a Better audio setup.
What you say bruh?
Dude .. if you haven't already, invest a small amount in a better mic. I can barely hear you
Thank you Yes I have invested in better Audio gear, Just havnt had time to Put New Content out as of yet. Do have alot in tge works just super busy atm.
But thank you for taking the time to View the Video.
One minute in and I really can't hear what you're saying. Everyone in the comments is praising this video, so I wanna be able to hear it. Just a bit of constructive criticism 😅
Rhank you I may Actually Redub the Audio, as Its been a Thorn in side.
@@StoneFistedProps wow you really do communicate... You're awesome! Literally just finished your part two as you replied to me
While I have your attention, do you know of any box stores I can buy sintra/closed cell pvc foam board from? I know you can get it online, but I hate ordering online for craft projects
Either way, thanks for the well made videos! You're amazing my dude

@@davidlane1248 also in reply to you're question. I have seen Sintra at Both Lowes and Home depot. You can check youre equivalent of those both near you. Also try a local sign shop as well.
