I love the new funnier edited segments, keep doing that bob 😆
I do too!
I mean, I want to build one for myself...
But I don't habe a Helmet.
So, here is my plan.
1. Build an awesome Helm.
2. Remember you don't have a paint booth and watch videos again where paint booths were build.
3. Build a Painting Booth.
4. Paint the Helmet.
5. Watch this video again, since at least 3 months have past at this point.
6. Build the Floating Helmet Mount.
7. ...remember that the house where you live, has horrible walls and won't let you put the Mount in place. And give up.
Yeah, I believe I will just enjoy your video.
My condolences
My kinda build! I spy an elegoo Mars
Just start gluing magnets in to the back of your helmets.
Working them into the design so theyre invisible shouldnt be too hard. Or even going the opposite route and working a strip of metal into the design to attach to magnets mounted on the wall.
Perfect for if you have steel wall studs.
just gotta be careful to not damage the paint where the magnets contact, also gotta make sure that the magnet doesn't try to pull your helmet apart depending on how it's assembled.
Wow, thanks for the shout out and great job taking the idea further! The son and I have enjoyed watching your videos on thursdays for years, so this was an extra bonus!
Oh hey!! Glad to see you here! Thanks so much for the launching point!
It's like you read my mind! The hubby and I were just trying to figure out how to hang our clone trooper helmets.
I love how you're emphasizing the prototyping process in so many of your videos. It demystifies "making" a bit and shows how we often have to go through several iterations before we arrive at something that works well. It's one of the many things that makes your content stand out.
I love that you didn’t hesitate to follow up last week’s “big” build with something practical and wonderful.
man i love the construction process of this. Seeing the process from concept to final result is simply awesome. Thanks ILTMS gang!
I loved how much this video revolved around prototyping and engineering a solution, this is one of my favorite videos you've done, it would be great to see more videos with this kind of emphasis
I don’t know why but hammer blows in sync with the music is always my favourite editing quirk.
I love it to
Thats actually a great concept. Looks great on the wall! I'll certainly be making some of these for future builds.
Thank you for showing your thought process. This was a lot of fun.
The helmets look great on the wall!
I just moved into a new place and was thinking of a way to mount my old football helmet to the wall... I'm definitely gonna try and recreate something like this!! Thanks!!
Go for it!
love seeing the progression from idea to prototype to final product. More of these please!
I love this series. Made our own helmets out of cardboard and gave you a shout out in the video! 👍 Thanks for the inspiration Bob
Bob, I think you've got a great idea there. Perfect for cosplayers to display their helmets!
Hey Bob great video as always, i would love to see you make WWII helmets like the German Stahlhelm the American M1 and the British Brodie! I hope you like the idea.
This looks really cool
Now this is the kind of new cool stuff I like to see, good job man!
great idea, and very clean and efficient.
Awesome work
Great idea. Sharing this in all the FB Cosplay groups.
I really like this idea. "Floating" storage/display fixtures are super cool. Also, great montage👍
Waiting for that Wig Melder tutorial 😝
i love these kinds of videos. Problem-solving and idea building projects help us develop our own ideas! Great jobs guys!
That is sick
Me: grabs chip clip and some duct tape.
Also me: Pretty much the same thing
Jeez I like ur name
@@whippie8821 thanks 😁
@@whippie8821 yours too lol
@@emarrero22 😂
Very good work
Today's video was even more important than normal Bob... I ended up in the hospital on Wednesday, thought it was muscle strain from excessive coughing, turned out to be blood clots in my lungs. Having this video, and the other from the rest of the makers I love on youtube, has been an incredible stress relief and morale boost, so thank you to you and your team!
That hammering montage was great, Anthony!
3:33, the face is great. That aluminum must have been screaming at you 🤣
Clever idea, the process was fun to watch.
I hope “Odin Makes” finds this and uses it :D it sounds cool cuz he made lotsa helmets
Odin would probably make something more clever and simple because that's how Odin makes lol
Odin's helmets are mostly foam. I think a clamp like this would deform them
Pop rivets would have been quick with very little stick out.
Nice troubleshooting. Great montage too. 😁 Thanks for sharing!
I'm liking this before even watching it because I NEED to make these!!
Awesome!
I think i like the no music talking to yourself part more than the montage to music. Its funny to hear someone else talk to themselves to figure something out just like i do.
Cool solution to a unique problem...I like watching your iterative process...and the montage was hilarious!!
lo ve to see your problem solving skills! Great solution!
this is all a lie. He is a magician.
To make it work for your curved helmets as well you could change the foam padding on the wall bracket side to two pads, one at the top and one at the bottom of the bracket, with a gap between them. The sprung clamp will then apply pressure between those two pads and give you three points of contact preventing the helmet from tilting forward. If the helmet is too heavy for that to work then making the bracket taller, and the clamp pad higher up, will give better leverage over the three contact points.
Love these videos
I wanted ways to hang 9 vinyl records as art work.
Products on amazon didn't really do what I was looking for.
I ended up with a length of aluminum channel, 4lb command strips, and metallic spray paint. One step install and 9 displays cost me the equivalent of just 1 comparable amazon product!
They work perfectly to hold my records up on the wall and I can use two (one above, one below) to hold them securely.
I made a big mess when trying to get mines on the wall, but it looks fine even if they look down a bit
This seems like something that could easily be 3D printed.
Would only need two parts, a screw and nut and a rubber band or spring.
And of course some mounting hardware that’s appropriate for your walls.
Will try to make something like this when I‘m back from work later today!
Poor Bob looked like he was about to bust into tears at 3:33
super video.. 3d printed i can see that come in handy
So has Josh come up with a 3D printed version yet? Cuz you know he's going too.
We've been talking about a print in place version.
@@Iliketomakestuff want those files when you sort it out ^_^
@@Iliketomakestuff My mind immediately went to 3D printing and how to make this. Hope you do, I'd love to see/use/buy it.
You are now the true CLAMP CHAMP since you made your own clamp. This is the way.
Great solution! And I love that cabinet you bought from Wayfair. ;)
Cool, going to need this in a few months. Preordered the Mass Effect Legendary Cache (helmet) :)
I've been trying to design one that would have a hinged bottom arm to open, and an eccentric cam to tighten the helmet to the stand.
“So we are basically making a clamp”
Bob and his clamps...never change buddy!
P.S. Clamp Champ 🏆
Looking forward to seeing more projects using the Wig Melder™️ 😆
Please add more prototype/failed/bad projects, to show that it's ok to fail every now and then. Watching you make always picture perfect stuff is cool... but a bit demoralizing :))
makes me think to add custom shaped accessories that can connect to the mount kinda like those gopro mounts, and you can have multiple. the one you need can attach to the clamp, and the others just to the 1 or 2 clips for storage on the underside or whatever
I love this project. I made a 3d model version of this will test it today will love to share it .
ooooh that montage!
Hanging on the wall is one way, but it would still take up a lot of room spread out over a large area. It might be better to make a multi level hat rack with similar clamps or even just mannequin heads on each branch. You could even make a mould of your head and make foam heads. That could be a better condensed way of showing off your creations.
Great video.
Even though I have a 3D printer it really is great to see more accessible ways to prototype.
Could also potentially use an acentric cam to grip the helmet, plus foam of course ☺️
Great way to display a helmet. I have several helmets but no big shop like that to build something like that.
I've been thinking about this for a while. I've got this great spot right over my workbench. I was thinking of a J shape where it screws to the wall on the short side and then a pole runs up into the helmet
Hey that has been on my brain for days now! Great stuff man! We gotta chat :)
If you added the 2nd pad like you wanted to and replaced the bands with a spring that you can adjust the tension on depending on you desire gripping force. You can salve all the problems you mentioned at the end of this video
oh man I've been after something like this for years!!!
you can buy the cheapest trigger style guitar capo and chop it up to mod it. there are ever some with a tighten/loosen screw which would help get around the issue of the rounder helmet needing more pressure, as you mentioned, making the hanger easily adjustable to any shape or size
Thats genius
Hey Bob. Have you ever considered a few magnets in the back lower portion of the helmet? That way instead of the so many runner bands your curved arm will always be attracted to the helmet And might hold the funky shaped ones a little easier
Hey Bob! I’d love to see a 3D printed version since plastic should give you enough flex to slide it in and it would be easy to replicate and make
Great idea Bob! I agree with one of the other comments that the easy way to accomplish this would be to use a guitar capo! However, that would tend to negate the "I Like To Make Stuff" build process.... 🤔🤔😉😉
Cool
10:51 i have an idea
cant you just embed a magnet inside the prop when you are making it or even after its all done, I'm sure you can cut out a part of a helmet or whatever and hide a magnet there. (also a magnet on the wall, or maybe even behind the wall)
Nice helmet hook, I know they have different designs for motorcycle helmet wall hooks. They could also give you other ideas.
sooo cooool. needs ligths
Nice bob
Maybe a latch with strong magnets and a little lever to pry them apart might work for a future version of this
torsion spring...those giant novelty clothes pins you find in craft stores....or a spring loaded hinge
I´d really like some Helmets with lighting in them. Wether the light luminates the eyes or the wall below
Bob, the helmets are 3D printed. I feel like I could imagine a design of a 3D print that could hang a helmet well. I don’t know how hard that would be. It could look like Christmas light holders for your gutter maybe. I don’t know how robust you could get it, but it would be quick and easy.
Bob:but clamps
Me:I have clamps
Bob:BUY MORE
Love the Vids. Great work. keep it up. Now finalize it and make it with the 3D printer. 😁👍
Maybe some sort of vise system might work well? That way you can manually control the clamping strength
was there ever a second version made from this prototype? I saw this b efore but id love to see if there was a way to make a improved version of it without elastic
You know I've been wanting to build a statue for Halloween that is motion activated, basically an animatronic. When someone walks in front of it, the device would play a random audio clip from a list, and light up and possibly move its arms (just up and down) depending on which audio clip. Making the statue would be easy but I don't know how to build the electronics to play the audio, lights, and movements. Getting these 3 things would be nice as you can make any character.
time to dust off cad and make a 3D printable version with a print in place hinge!
We talked about that! Could be awesome!
Really nice work, Bob! And it really disappears under the helmets! 😃
My only issue is with elastics... I don't know if it's because of where I live, but they just melt with time. 🙄
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I bet Josh could come up with a sweet single-piece, print-in-place version of this that just needs the elastic added.
nice
For the curved helmets you mentioned, you can just make a spacer that matches the curve of the helmet. Sandwich that spacer with the helmet and clamp, it should then provide enough surface area to hold it in the position you want
You could also design one where the weight of the helmet pushes a pivot clamping that helmet under its own weight. It’s hard to describe the design I have in my head without a drawing.
I feel like this translates really well into 3D modeling
Add some led in it to make the mask glow or the inside glow , it will look cooler in a dark room and as a collection piece.
Wonderful work, but i see a problem there.
From a certain weight, a helmet would take a deformation by the grabbing point. A better idea would be to insert something that holds the helmet by the interior top point. Like an alum/steel rod curved 90º and half sphere at the top, so the helmet would rest there with no problem, adjustable to each helmet and still pretty clean and invisible hanging from the wall.
Coooooooool
If you can double up on your L brackets, then you can settle for a weaker metal like annealed aluminum or a stronger plastic that can be 3D printed. This is because your weight of the helmet would split it's weight in half to balance on the 2 brackets instead of 1.
can you do a secret compartmen drawer?
Do you have any tips on how to make resin molds not so foggy?
Single clamp with different inserts for different helmets?? I’m sure that can be 3D printed.
Also.. PLEASE make SOMETHING with Dyn Jarren’s mudhorn signet!!! Like a backlit sign or even his actual shoulder piece.. SOMETHING haha.. that would be so rad 🤙🏼
Congratulations! You made a capo
