Thank you so much Bill and Adam for this build! I made a Ring Wraith costume a few years ago but had no idea how to tackle the gauntlets. I am so excited to finally finish the costume and realize a 14 year long dream of being a Ring Wraith!
Adam Savage's passion for cosplay at his age is what made me get into it age 30. I then scoured RUclips for tutorials and such. That's how I came across you guys, Evil Ted, Cosplay Chris, ZonZonZonbi, Kamui Cosplay, Dali DIY, Xieng Prod, Odin Makes, Andrew DFT and other amazing cosplay creators.
Watching you and Adam work together was fantastic, both in seeing the process you guys have as well as how much fun you guys have working together! I hope you guys will be doing more of these!
Very cool! the paint came out awesome, of course. I watched the video on Adams channel too OMG he was so excited and, naturally he has a machine made specifically for bending the finger bits for gauntlets, as most people do. ;)
I like Bill's adaptation of Adam's device for making consistent curls, copper pipe and conduit. Punished Props once again shows us an innovative way of using commonly available resources. Thanks Bill and Brittany.
One of your best builds ever! Wish this resource had been available in 2004 when I built my Witch King of Angmar costume. I used sheet metal and my gauntlets are a constant hazard for drawing blood or losing an eye. Note, the same principles can be used on the boots. Looking forward to more of your stuff on TESTED!!! Thanks again for the free templates!
I have been looking for Chicago screws for years, never knowing what they were called but needing 1 for a model kit that had its threads stripped. Now i see them everywhere. Also, i used metallic gold in place of brass coloring & also liked it better.
You should totally do the rest of the costume! That would so cool. So glad you and Adam were able to do a collaboration! It was a like a dream come true for me.
I can't wait to get my hands on these templates and some worbla to make nice durable gauntlets to wear senior year, they will make a fine addition to my collection, wait a minute, wrong trilogy
Love the video. I also think one of the really cool things about all the PP videos is how you get a kick out of the little things. Using the pliers to grab the strap, totally fun.
Bill, I'm watching this video on my birthday and i'd like to say you have been a huge inspiration to me as a crafter, and you have taught me a good chunk of what I know. I'm 18 now and it's videos like this that have inspired me to be a professional Cosplayer/Propmaker. May your contact cement be sticky and your sanding be brief!
Those turned out fantastic! You are seriously amazing at working with foam, it looks so easy when you do it!! It was also a lot of fun watching Adam get so excited over this stuff :)
Those are some super cool kitty-petting gloves you have there Bill! Love both these vids so much, just wanted to say thank you for the patterns! VERY much appreciated :)
this is so cool!! im very creative myself, im sure with the templates i can make the gauntlet but there is no way i can paint it as close to real metal/rust as you did. hat off you too sir!
I'm just sitting here in awe during the whole process, yelling to myself "How can you make this look so good?!?" It looks freakin amazing after the paint job.
"Nazgul might not keep their armor in good working order" please, if my job was "be scary on a horse" I would make sure my armor was deliberately offputting. I bet they are proud of their armor lol
Nice Build Bill! I know Bob from I like to make stuff always talks highly of you. I did a recent foam build where i created the Worlds 1st steam punk flare gun. It was fun working with the foam and I enjoyed the tricks you shared! For sure love the bottle for the glue... Totally going to the garage and doing that one now! Brian
Awesome Bill. Great to see you have a bright future with the tested mob. Would have loved to have seen your face when you entered adams cave..holycrap!! lol
Hello!! Seen you in Barnacles' Videos too!! This was very Calming to watch!! Keep up the great work! It would be interesting to see a Parody build of these Gauntlets with "Pretty" Gardening Gloves as a base and the rest of it prettified and dainty. That would be an interesting cosplay
This seems like you are living the dream of many prop builders: hanging out with some of the coolest and most influential people in the community ^^ I would be just as stoked if I could build something with you or Ted, Adam is just the guy who pulls you into the club so to speak ;)
Darn they look great, thank you Bill for sharing this with us! Tip for my Canadian who can't get Barge cement up here; Try the Dura-pro rubber cement =)
Hunter Haider i would definitely recommend getting aluminum online, or from a local metal supplier. It is going to be waaaayyyy cheaper than hobby lobby
I could have use something like a gloss varnish to seal it, but I didn't want to alter the metallic sheen at all. These gauntlets won't be seeing a lot of wear and tear, so I'm not worried. I can always touch up the paint job if I need to later on.
Outstanding! Those edge highlights really make a difference. I guess Frank Ippolito has gotten a bit too busy for Tested these days, and you're a fine addition to their team this year, Bill. Really looking forward to more.
will plasti dip work instead of the base black brownish paint? then over plasti dip a simple acrilic black/brown and then maybe a bit of silver? it will keep the pointy parts a bit rigid so it looks more like metal....you just need to mask the metalic rivets or so...
I do a lot of leather work and I am guessing you can use foam strips instead of leather for the fingers. Also to attach the finger pieces with a small Eyelet and Snap Punch could be a more simple option. But of course, that's me being excited and speculating LOL This is awesome! So thrilled to hear you'll be doing more on Tested! And also thanks so much for the patterns ;)
Have you thought about making some fack hands that you could have put the gloves onto to make painting easier?. I think Adam Savage made one before for the hellboy glove from the golden army.
I have a lot of appreciation for your high detail explanations, and your still camera angle. It's a lot better than the epileptic blur zoom-in and zoom-out of Tested's awful camera guys. D:
Aww he called me a fellow maker and I feel so proud! I'm like a newbie prop maker. I started really recently but I made a pair of like wasteland goggles out of craft foam and hippie sunglasses I'm super proud of
Bill, could your patterns for this be used to make a version in sheet metal? Perhaps even just for the flat cuts, then to be hammered into shape afterwards?
It would be amazing if you can do a wearable Infinity Gauntlet from Infinity War out of foam! Watching this and your collab on Tested gave me some ideas on how it could be done but I would love to see how you would go about doing it.
As a left handed person, i share your pain from having to paint the opposite hands. Had the same issue when i did my Genji gloves and did the same thing as you and just wore it on the right hand flipped over
If you find this is an issue often, you can get a dummy hand from retail supply stores - the ones often used to display or hold jewelry. They're often small, but work well for basic support. You can even mount it to a base for easier painting. If you don't have access to one of those stores, you can always make a rough hand form out of foam (insulation foam or even styrofoam would probably work best) and attach it to a base for painting. When all else fails, call in a buddy :) - Paige
You know mate, if someone had shown me these gauntlets and told me they were made of foam. I would have called BULLSHIT. They look sooo coool! Totally want a pair! Edit: I of course meant showed me a picture of them xD I'm not dumb I swear!
I know this vid is a couple years old, but this is my first foam project. Iv got it all cut out and sanded up real nice now. Just waiting on a few things to get to my house and I'll finish it up. Those finger pieces are tedious as all hell to cut by hand lol. Thanks for such a cool project tho man. I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Punished Props, is there a particular reason you did not use Plasti Dip on this project?
Did you dirty up those screws as well? Or perhaps later?
It's so cute seeing how Bill is super nervous in the Tested video
HAA! I was thinking "Be cool Bill. Keep it together." the entire time! =D
Ah, okay! I must have mistaken it with your "Try not to faint Bill." face! ;)
Wow what a surprise im subscribed to both of you
That moment on the battlefield, when the ringwraith realises he put on the foam armour by mistake.
And that's how the Hobbits won the battle for Middle Earth.

You need to check out KAMUICOSPLAY
Excellent work. Inspiring. Great to see you and Mr. Savage collaborating more and more. Thanks

Yay! I may have to make the rest of the costume...
More Tested and Punished Props collabs confirmed! Yissss!
Oh yes, we have LOTS planned!
19:22 ~ LMAO imagining a Nazgul soldier clapping like a 5 year old when he gets his armor on
Great build these look sick as f by the way!
Nicely done Bill! beautiful build and one hell of a paint job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!
I have been looking for Chicago screws for years, never knowing what they were called but needing 1 for a model kit that had its threads stripped. Now i see them everywhere. Also, i used metallic gold in place of brass coloring & also liked it better.
Congratulations Bill! Happy to hear you'll be regular with Tested
Thanks so much!
When you couldn't buckle the left side it reminded me so much of Edward Scissorhands trying to use a fork 😂
Ha! I should try and eat with the gauntlets on.
This is why knights have a squire to help them.
It is SO COOL that you made the pattern files free to download. That is such a rad thing to do honestly. You rock and I always love your videos!
Thanks so much!
You should totally do the rest of the costume! That would so cool. So glad you and Adam were able to do a collaboration! It was a like a dream come true for me.
It was a dream come true for me too. =D
Part 2. Wahey!! Great job Bill. Love it!
Thank you!
I really like the new painting technique. It looks so nice for that material effect.
Why thank you!
I can't wait to get my hands on these templates and some worbla to make nice durable gauntlets to wear senior year, they will make a fine addition to my collection, wait a minute, wrong trilogy
Woohoo! Have fun!
Love the video. I also think one of the really cool things about all the PP videos is how you get a kick out of the little things. Using the pliers to grab the strap, totally fun.
If we can't amuse ourselves, what's the point? =)
Thanks for giving away the pattern! I will definitely be doing this in leather one day!
You're welcome. That would be AMAZING.
I agree.. THis is awesome that you gave the pattern for us rookies. Lets hope I can build this now
You are some sort of hero to me. Thank you, honestly.
Great ending to the two videos, well done 🏆👍🏼😊
Thanks so much!
Great build Bill. I'm glad you get to spend more time with the Tested crew!
Thanks Hugo! They're a great crew. =)

That's wonderful! Keep making. =D
That was a great cross-over series! Like the X-Men/Teen Titans cross over.... but with foam :) Nice work Bill!
Hahaa! I like it Colin! =D
I love how you fashioned a heat forming tool from a copper and aluminum pipe, mounted on a vise. Genius!
You can accomplish a lot with simple tools!
Those turned out fantastic! You are seriously amazing at working with foam, it looks so easy when you do it!! It was also a lot of fun watching Adam get so excited over this stuff :)
Thank you so much!
Well done Bill !. Super job and super collaboration with Tested !
Thanks so much!
You and Adam make an awesome team to watch - can't wait for more videos!! Keep it up.
Will do!
I've learned so much about foamsmithing from these two videos, wow! So good!
GOOOSH these are AMAZING😍
Those are some super cool kitty-petting gloves you have there Bill!
Love both these vids so much, just wanted to say thank you for the patterns! VERY much appreciated :)
The cats are *not* excited about these gloves.
this is so cool!! im very creative myself, im sure with the templates i can make the gauntlet but there is no way i can paint it as close to real metal/rust as you did. hat off you too sir!
Nice to hear you'll be working with Tested more, your channels go great together.
I agree! I'm so excited to do more cool projects with the whole Tested crew.
These look SO COOL. I think even *I* and my unskilled hands could do this!
You totally could Joel! =D
Bill ,don't give Joel false hope ,give him something simpel to start like a small foam kitchen knife. 😁😁
I'd love to see you print and assemble/paint one on your channel.
Joel unskilled is the last thing you can call your hands. I mean you build printers man!!! Awesome first video to watch on my B-day!
Say what?? Joe? Awesome.
Awesome build 😃brilliant to see yourself with Adam 😁 hopefully we get to see more videos like it 👍
Thank you!
Now I REALLY secretly want to try doing it with paper. Also that plied trick for that belt in the end was genius!
Give it a go! =D
I'm just sitting here in awe during the whole process, yelling to myself "How can you make this look so good?!?" It looks freakin amazing after the paint job.
Thank you so much!
This was another great video. It was great seeing you and Adam together.
Thanks! =D
They look great.
This looks amazing. I wonder if a better fitted glove would make a cleaner fit
omg thank you for the free patterns i love this channel!
You're welcome!
the dry brushing was well done addition
Omg!!! Now u gotta do the ring wraith mask from foam!!!! Yeeeessss
I love them they look great.
Congrats on the colab!
You guys are so inspiring and informative. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos. I’m off to make my own pair!
You're welcome! If you make them, send me a photo on Twitter. twitter.com/chinbeard
WOAH!!!! That looks amazing!
Thanks!
Nice work! I’ve really enjoyed your work, and I look forward to seeing you on tested premium.
Thanks! Lots to look forward to. We filmed a lot of stuff!
So jealous. I can't believe Adam Savage got to spend the day with you!
HA! What a lucky guy! =D
"Nazgul might not keep their armor in good working order" please, if my job was "be scary on a horse" I would make sure my armor was deliberately offputting. I bet they are proud of their armor lol
Their armor is their shell. It has to be strong and terrifying.
super cool, would love to see the rest of the armor done, helmet etc.
Nice Build Bill! I know Bob from I like to make stuff always talks highly of you. I did a recent foam build where i created the Worlds 1st steam punk flare gun. It was fun working with the foam and I enjoyed the tricks you shared! For sure love the bottle for the glue... Totally going to the garage and doing that one now! Brian
That Bob is a swell fella! Have fun building! =D
Thanks for the free template! it's difficult to create my own for gauntlets and this should really help me. Thanks so much!
You're welcome. Have fun!
Awesome Bill. Great to see you have a bright future with the tested mob. Would have loved to have seen your face when you entered adams cave..holycrap!! lol
It was something like this: twitter.com/chinbeard/status/967140434177740800

Those turned out sweet. By the end of the video I actually forgot they were foam! Great work!
Thanks!

Lol I loved how you thought to use the pliers to tighten the other strap.
So good! Love it!

Great tip, thanks for sharing. =D
excellent work ,
I love these videos, you make these projects so easy, Thank you.
You're welcome!
This is great was pleasantly surprised it didn’t look that good on the thumbnail lol good job!
Thank for this sharing! Really interesting!
New sub thanks to the Tested collab. Fascinating stuff and you've already given me some ideas
Fantastic!
Awesome project. I plan to attempt to make this out of Aluminum sheets from hobby lobby.
Hunter Haider i would definitely recommend getting aluminum online, or from a local metal supplier. It is going to be waaaayyyy cheaper than hobby lobby
I know this was awhile ago, but I’m enjoying it today! Love your channel! Nerding out 😂🤟🏽
Thanks so much for watching!
I think I missed it, but did you (have to) seal the paint at all? Great video by the way!
I could have use something like a gloss varnish to seal it, but I didn't want to alter the metallic sheen at all. These gauntlets won't be seeing a lot of wear and tear, so I'm not worried. I can always touch up the paint job if I need to later on.
Thank you for the reply! I never like applying varnish to my nice paint jobs either, it seems like such a waste.
Outstanding! Those edge highlights really make a difference.
I guess Frank Ippolito has gotten a bit too busy for Tested these days, and you're a fine addition to their team this year, Bill. Really looking forward to more.
Thanks!
Amazing work as always, Bill :D.
Thanks so much!
Love this colaboration 😊😊😊
Thanks!
Glad to have found this channel via Adam :)
Happy to have you. Look around. We have over 600 videos on prop and costume making.
will plasti dip work instead of the base black brownish paint? then over plasti dip a simple acrilic black/brown and then maybe a bit of silver? it will keep the pointy parts a bit rigid so it looks more like metal....you just need to mask the metalic rivets or so...

So thrilled to hear you'll be doing more on Tested! And also thanks so much for the patterns ;)
Yeah that could work too.
How did you connect the gauntlet pieces to the glove? Is there a hole in the glove with a chicago screw through?
Have you thought about making some fack hands that you could have put the gloves onto to make painting easier?. I think Adam Savage made one before for the hellboy glove from the golden army.
That's a really great idea!
In a pinch you can stuff newspaper in the glove to help it hold it's shape. Not as rigid or durable as a fake hand but it's worked for me in the past
best timelaps montage music ever!
That looks so cool! 👌🏼
I have a lot of appreciation for your high detail explanations, and your still camera angle.
It's a lot better than the epileptic blur zoom-in and zoom-out of Tested's awful camera guys. D:
Hey I love your work, you guys should totally make a foam or warbla version of the infinity gauntlet
Aww he called me a fellow maker and I feel so proud! I'm like a newbie prop maker. I started really recently but I made a pair of like wasteland goggles out of craft foam and hippie sunglasses I'm super proud of
Such a pleasure to watch you work. Thanks, Bill.
You're welcome!
Awesome! That looks so badass!
Thanks so much Elton! =D
Loved both videos! 🙌
Bill, could your patterns for this be used to make a version in sheet metal? Perhaps even just for the flat cuts, then to be hammered into shape afterwards?

What a gorgeous looking piece. Pretty crazy to think it's almost entirely made of foam.
Thanks!
Thank you Adam Savage for introducing me to this new channel I enthusiastically subscribed to
Well that was awesome.
Thanks for the patterns! It helps me a lot. Gonna make them from plastic.
You're welcome!
Love both of these videos!! Awesome job!
Why thank you!
Punished Props Academy I mean really, it's hard to go wrong with two of my favorite makers doing a collab... 😀👍
You know mate, if someone had shown me these gauntlets and told me they were made of foam. I would have called BULLSHIT.
They look sooo coool!
Totally want a pair!
Edit: I of course meant showed me a picture of them xD I'm not dumb I swear!
Why thank you!
I would go to a cosplay event just to show off these bad boys!
I know this vid is a couple years old, but this is my first foam project. Iv got it all cut out and sanded up real nice now. Just waiting on a few things to get to my house and I'll finish it up. Those finger pieces are tedious as all hell to cut by hand lol. Thanks for such a cool project tho man. I'm having a lot of fun with it.
