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.
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
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.
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!
"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
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 :)
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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
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 ;)
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
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:
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 :)
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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 =)
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 ;)
Great build I want to build the whole costume now this is truly amazing... I think I will cut the pieces out on my cricut vinyl cutter which should cut the thinner foam just fine
That's a great idea! Check out our friend HarBeastie's incredible Thor build she did - she also used her Cricut! facebook.com/HarBeastiecosplay/ - Paige

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?
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.
That's a pretty splendid crew! =D
You should check out John hay. He is an awesome cosplay
You need to check out KAMUICOSPLAY
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
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!
You are most welcome!
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.

Those are awesome! I learned a lot watching you and Adam.

Excellent work. Inspiring. Great to see you and Mr. Savage collaborating more and more. Thanks
More Tested and Punished Props collabs confirmed! Yissss!
Oh yes, we have LOTS planned!
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.
You are some sort of hero to me. Thank you, honestly.
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
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!
Me too! =)
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!
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!
Great ending to the two videos, well done 🏆👍🏼😊
Thanks so much!
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!
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!
Great build Bill. I'm glad you get to spend more time with the Tested crew!
Thanks Hugo! They're a great crew. =)
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!

Nicely done Bill! beautiful build and one hell of a paint job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!
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? =)
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
Well done Bill !. Super job and super collaboration with Tested !
Thanks so much!
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!
You and Adam make an awesome team to watch - can't wait for more videos!! Keep it up.
Will do!
This looks amazing. I wonder if a better fitted glove would make a cleaner fit
Awesome build 😃brilliant to see yourself with Adam 😁 hopefully we get to see more videos like it 👍
Thank you!
I've learned so much about foamsmithing from these two videos, wow! So good!
GOOOSH these are AMAZING😍
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.
So jealous. I can't believe Adam Savage got to spend the day with you!
HA! What a lucky guy! =D
This was another great video. It was great seeing you and Adam together.
Thanks! =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.
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!
I’m gonna make this for Halloween 2025!! Thank you SO much for the artistry
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
omg thank you for the free patterns i love this channel!
You're welcome!
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!
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
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!
super cool, would love to see the rest of the armor done, helmet etc.
Omg!!! Now u gotta do the ring wraith mask from foam!!!! Yeeeessss
Thanks for giving the pattern away I will be attempting this in steel tomorrow ! 😀😀
You're welcome! That sounds really fun.
Those turned out sweet. By the end of the video I actually forgot they were foam! Great work!
Thanks!
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
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!
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.
I love them they look great.
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
Glad to have found this channel via Adam :)
Happy to have you. Look around. We have over 600 videos on prop and costume making.
What a gorgeous looking piece. Pretty crazy to think it's almost entirely made of foam.
Thanks!
They look great.
the dry brushing was well done addition
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

Totally want a pair!

You said you were going to time-lapse building the gauntlet but it was more of a montage que 80s inspirational music.
Ah yes *montage*! That's the word I was looking for. Thanks. =D
Haha big fan by the keep up the great content.

WOAH!!!! That looks amazing!

That's absolutely fantastic! Share what you make with us on Twitter: twitter.com/chinbeard
I never really considered working with foam but I think some of these techniques could be used to work with leather. Thanks for the ideas!
That's right! Foam and leather use very similar techniques and tools.
Hey I love your work, you guys should totally make a foam or warbla version of the infinity gauntlet
At one point in the video I started getting confused and kept thinking they were metal instead of foam. Great work!
New sub thanks to the Tested collab. Fascinating stuff and you've already given me some ideas
Fantastic!
I know this was awhile ago, but I’m enjoying it today! Love your channel! Nerding out 😂🤟🏽

awesome thanks just discovered eva foam and cosplay , look forward to building some suff
Thanks for the patterns! It helps me a lot. Gonna make them from plastic.
You're welcome!
Love this colaboration 😊😊😊
Thanks!
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 ;)

Thank you Adam Savage for introducing me to this new channel I enthusiastically subscribed to
Lol I loved how you thought to use the pliers to tighten the other strap.
Such a pleasure to watch you work. Thanks, Bill.
You're welcome!
If the glove fits, you be evil! Great looking prop.
Thanks!
Amazing work as always, Bill :D.
Thanks so much!
Great build I want to build the whole costume now this is truly amazing... I think I will cut the pieces out on my cricut vinyl cutter which should cut the thinner foam just fine
That's a great idea! Check out our friend HarBeastie's incredible Thor build she did - she also used her Cricut! facebook.com/HarBeastiecosplay/

Hey thanks I’ll check that out
Those ridges are pure metal...really nice paint application! I think the chicago screws would look better if flipped with the flat nub showing on the exterior, or if they were given a paint job to match awesome detail on the foam.
I might flip the screws around. Good idea.
Those turned out gorgeous. Painting non metal to look like metal always amazes me.
Thank you!
Looks awesome! You are tricking my brain to believe that's metal. :D
Thanks!
Beautiful work ! thank you
That looks so cool! 👌🏼
