- In this video I'll show you how to make H-beam and L-beams from cardboard. These will come in handy if you're building terrain with an industrial or a post apocalyptic vibe, like Warhammer 40.000, Necromunda, Kill Team or Gaslands.
Despite having been in this hobby for years, it only just recently occured to me, that I could make beams and girders from cardboard instead of buying styrene ones, which are both a bit pricey and can be difficult to find in my corner of the world. It’s seems glaringly obvious in hindsight. So I thought maybe I’m not the only one, who hadn’t thought of it. ;-)

Beams are so expensive made out of styrene, insane. So really happy to see your video
Hi, great video, congratulations!
I'm an amateur woodworker and watching your video I was thinking....
Have you ever thought about using a (micro) circular saw to cut this material?
With your skill I'm sure you wouldn't have any difficulty.
There are kits of circular saw blades to Dremel of about 5 cm in diameter, with a 775 motor the cut would be very easy, fast and practical. The big difference would be the side guide(fence), on which you support and slide the part you want to cut against the saw blade, for a precise cut. This gives repeatability to the cuts.
You would have a very useful tool for subsequent projects and it would still earn you another great video for the channel. Hope I helped, all the best.
👌👌👌
From denmark and didn't even use Legos to line up the L beams? Don't know what to think anymore. Kidding aside nice little video.
Ha ha! :-D Well, I shovel my money onto the bonfire of Warhammer. Can't afford Legos too!
Great tutorial! Never thought of building my own ibeams
Thanks! It took me years to realize. 😁
I use corflute sheet to make I-beams. Sure, they're a bit on the thin side, but they are a lot less fiddly to work with.
Cool. I'll have to try that. :-)
Fantastic! I'll definitely be giving that a try, thanks very much!
Great! I'm glad you found it useful. :-)
awesome
Helpful hint: You can use this same method for making H beams, and then flip them one quarter turn and make I beams.
Will this work with 2 layers of corrugated cardboard to make large scale heavy load bearing structures? Like a bridge strong enough to hold 400lbs?
I haven't tried, but I don't believe it will. 🙂
@@thecultofcrafting they did it. I’m just not sure how. ruclips.net/video/I8rLa2xObzw/видео.html
@@stanimatorblue Hah! That's cool! 😄
When you say pva water 1 to 4 which is one part
1 part PVA, 4 parts water, but that's just an estimate, and it'll vary between brands of PVA. There's a lot of leeway, so just try it out and adjust as needed. 🙂
