Project Inspired By: Mikey77’s Instructable on Ooogoo: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-Your-Own-Sugru-Substitute/

Project History & More Info:

Casting silicone is very expensive, so over the years I tried to find a cheaper alternative to making LEGO candy molds (https://goo.gl/XcLbep).

I started off trying silicone caulk from the hardware store, but globs of it would take weeks and weeks to finally firm up. That wasn’t acceptable because I needed something that would harden in 24 hours or less.

About 3 years ago I came across an instructable by Mikey77 showing that mixing corn starch into the silicone caulk could be used to make it firm up in under an hour.

I did a number of experiments of my own, and eventually found out that corn starch wasn’t actually needed at all, but that all you needed was to add a little food coloring.

I still like to use corn starch though because it helps prevent the caulk from sticking to my hands as I work with it. The stuff is really hard to get off if it sticks to skin!

Project Inspired By: A video I saw floating around Facebook last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHAPk97Mp5s

WARNING:

This video is only for entertainment purposes. If you rely on the information portrayed in this video, you assume the responsibility for the results. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that every project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.

Project History & More Info:

I saw an awesome concept for a concealment shelf floating around Facebook last year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHAPk97Mp5s) and thought it was great! Until I looked at the price.

I wondered if I could build something similar myself and save some money.

It took 1 full week of prototyping, and I pulled more inspiration from a website called Tactical Walls (https://tacticalwalls.com) and came up with my own version that looks great, works awesome, and gives peace of mind when something important needs to be hidden.

My shelf uses magnetic locks to keep it closed, and as easy as it seems to open, for anyone who doesn’t understand how it works, it’s deceptively difficult to open, even for adults.

Project Inspired By: The LEGO Gummie Project: (https://goo.gl/LCpXzD)

WARNING:

This video is only for entertainment purposes. If you rely on the information portrayed in this video, you assume the responsibility for the results. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that every project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.

Project History & More Info:

After casting delicious gummy candies with my homemade silicone candy mold (https://goo.gl/XcLbep) I wondered how it would handle chocolate.

I went to a local super center and found candy melt chocolates in the cake baking isle. They come in all kinds of colors and I got them all.

The different colors worked perfectly for making the chocolate LEGO look authentic, and just for fun I built them into Mario and Luigi from the classic 8 bit NES video game.

The LEGO is completely edible and I love the milk chocolate personally, and could eat it all day long.

The other colors are all based on white chocolate, so after a handful they start to make me feel a bit sick.

QC#98 – Bite Club

“Bright Pink” dipping chocolates and a homemade silicone mold team up to parody an infamous bar of soap.

Project Inspired By: Fight Club – the movie. I thought it would be funn to make an edible bar of soap, and then the idea of “Bite Club” hit me and it was too perfect.

WARNING:

This video is only for entertainment purposes. If you rely on the information portrayed in this video, you assume the responsibility for the results. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that every project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.

Project History & More Info:

After I made a bar of soap using bacon grease and drain cleaner, I was inspired to try making a chocolate version just for fun.

I found bright pink candy melts at a local super center that were the perfect color, so I designed a “Bite Club” parody in photoshop and had a local plastics company laser cut the template out of acrylic.

I used the acrylic positive to case a silicone mold, that I now use for casting parody chocolate bars.

Project Inspired By:

TheArtOfWeapons (http://bit.ly/IBRamboneSlingshot), and Rbguns (http://bit.ly/IBM9RubberBandGun).

WARNING: Styrofoam crafting involves high temperature cutting wires which can burn skin, and release small quantities of toxic gasses from the styrofoam itself. Metal casting should only be attempted under adult supervision, by those skilled in the process, and who understand the risks. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that any project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.

Project History & More Info:

This project was born after I ran into an awesome design for a wooden Rubber Band Gun designed by “RBGuns” a couple of years ago. (http://bit.ly/IBM9RubberBandGun)

I had recently seen a “lost foam casting” tutorial by “The Art of Weapons” http://bit.ly/IBRamboneSlingshot) that inspired me to try it myself, but rather than make a slingshot, I wanted to try something a little different.

I tried styrofoam-casting a gun from the Rbguns M9 template, but the metal didn’t flow properly in the sand, and it failed on each attempt. And each attempt was a lot of work.

I soon realized the foam gun needed to be one solid piece, so I spent a couple of days redesigning it in photoshop, using the RBguns design for inspiration, then tweaking it with minor adjustments until I could get a successful cast.

I expanded the trigger guard nearly twice as large as the original was, because that was the biggest problem area for each of the aluminum casts because the metal would stop flowing and wouldn’t complete the model.

This final design has served me well, and looks really great in styrofoam by itself! So there’s no need to cast into metal if you don’t want to.

I’ve had requests for the template, and how I made the gun since the day I first released the metal casting video, so in response to popular request, I’m happy to give you this tutorial, and template for free.
