Very interesting. Thanks!
@@tomsgarage6264 You're welcome! Thanks for watching
"work outside in the fresh air" i think is the best clip from this video. Thanks for the excellent production. Can't wait to check out the rest of your channel.
@@ashberg5011 Hahaha, I had forgotten we put that clip in there! Thanks for the reminder 😂
@@AlexAndOlmsted More Foam Sculpting tutorials pls ^_^ more fun projects hehehe
@@ashberg5011 It's on the list! 😊
What i do is clamp one end, secure the other in the electric drill, pull tension, then twist the wire with the drill. This will straighten and work harden (stiffen) the wire. Quick and easy.
@@123JDA123 That's another great way, and actually how I straighten wire most of the time now!
So intense. I am math-phobic… but with help from you, the puppets, I will solve the geometric and spatial problems. Doing is better for me than math computation. 😊
@@dmatyas22 I was the same way. Abstract math never clicked with me, but I find it really easy to have some hands-on examples to see cause and effect. Math is a great tool once you figure out how it can best serve you!
This day and age nothing is "straight"
If you zoom in far enough, nothing ever has been.
really nice!
Thank you!
Scary-ass cool!🙂🖤👻🪦⚰️🕸🕷
Boo! 👻 💀
What time is the video ending 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤
@@ekinadoseorobator6566 @23:05
What time is the video ending
Very well done!!!
The brainstorm process, tells me immediately that the so-called 'unprepared' getting started is very prepared, because of a lot of investment and insight already present.
abstract & beautiful
Thank you!
Nice work! About to start this new art form... but these Bevel cuts are confusing. I understand "outside" or "Inside" bevel cuts, but how do you decide the degree / angle of the bevel? And those darn Darts! Why isn't there a 3D app that can tell us where to make the cuts?
Thanks! For the most part foam is pretty forgiving if you're in the ballpark of the correct angle. If you're not sure, try cutting them at a 45 degree angle and see how they fit. You can always cut or sand more material off. I wish there was a good, simple 3D app that created flat patterns, too! The biggest issue is that we're cutting curves to create smooth organic shapes, and 3d models are made of flat polygons. Best of luck trying things out!
@@AlexAndOlmsted Thanks for the tips. For whatever reason I decided to start with a complex shape. Gluten for punishment I guess. Don’t stop making these tips videos. Really helpful.
Haha made in 2020 is so telling!! Awesome film ❤❤
Lovely work ❤
Thanks so much!
The "low tech" simplicity reminds me of the props on "Dr Who."
Thank you for the lessons 🙏🙏🙏. You nailed it 🤣😉😉
You did the tail wrong. You are supposed to put the cap in the tail, and the translucent plastic piece in the Boglin itself.
0:11 was that the bite of 87!?
Loved this
Es hermoso ❤, gracias por compartir tus conocimientos ❤
Damn dude this was such a great fucking idea thank you
Love it, now want to see it assembled. Ty
CAD cannot kill the Modeling Star

Very cool. Are you thinning your Contact Cement to get it in the sqeeze bottle?
Thanks! I didn't thin in here. If it sits too long (in the bottle or an opened can) it'll thicken up, but you can thin it again by mixing in acetone.
There should be an international day for people who make educational videos online. I mean there is world teachers' day but I feel like these two should be in a whole different category. Thank you, mate!
for real, this explaination was amazing
YOURE SO AWESOME!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME NEVER FORGET THAT!!! EVERYONE LOVES YOU AND WE WILL CHERISH THIS VIDEO
Thank you! We love the enthusiasm!
you're so awesome
Thanks! :D
Brilliant…!
Thanks!
I absolutely loved this show at the 2023 puppet festival
Thank you! We had SUCH a great time at the festival. Can't wait till the next one.
Love that construction!
Thanks! It's one of the joys of puppet theater!
I just got my 10 year old son his first boglin but he didn’t love it anywhere near as much as his 8 year old sister lol. I’m gonna have to get her more boglins!
I just found out about Boglins maybe a week ago and I just got one today for my 27th birthday. Having so much fun with it already. My 8 month old loves when I talk to him with it.
FABulous reviews, congrats you two!! 👏👏👏
You guys always create such wonderful material. I hope you'll both be back at the next puppetry festival
Thank you 🙏
I do love watching you two brainstorm!
Watched this late last night and then almost put popcorn in the coffee grinder this morning 😂
I don't think I have instafollowed a site this quickly in my previous 15(?) years of UA-cam use! Love your site already! Can't wait to watch more! :)
awesome place - never been there! Y'all the best! Glad you got some Chitown love.
15 seconds of this video cleared up a concept I have been struggling with, and I am inspired to hit the workbench first thing after work! Thank you.
18:30 He's doing all of this for puppetry?! Amazing! I'm using it to set up the steering on my go-kart.
Excellent, thanks!
Great video. Left my wishing for more followup video on linkages in this style.
Great tip, thanks for posting the video.
👏👏👏👏
Lovely theater. Lovely editing.
