"I started with pulling the perfect mold (which you need, but no one is going to have) out of thin air."
True. Although, there have been castings of the door handle floating around on eBay and Etsy for over a decade but they tend to have less than ideal finishes. This video was geared toward painting and less about mold making and casting.
@@VanOaksProps "This video was geared toward painting and less about mold making and casting."
Then the title needs to be changed to reflect that. It's a little misleading/disappointing.
I like your videos and how they show that the average person can make these things, but the last two videos required tools that the average person won't have access to, (3D printer/special casting mold) which were kinda disappointing considering the finishing techniques have been demonstrated on pervious projects.
Just a little constructive critique. Looking forward to more "Hardware store DIY builds".
Thanks for the feedback, it’s much appreciated. I completely understand your point but also think it’s important to encourage trying new things and feel that it’s important to step outside of your comfort zone.
That said, I know that the investment in different tools and materials isn’t for everyone, but I thought I’d create a few videos for people who may be looking for something a bit beyond the usual.
@@VanOaksProps As long as title is changed, my critique completely disappears. I'd be just find with faux finish video if that's what it is. Please keep up the good work.
I did update the title as to not confuse anyone else and I don’t mind the critique. It’s your opinion and I’m good with that.
Totally addicted to your channel. lol. I am 2 parts Star Wars nerd, 2 parts Haunted mansion. lol. And your tutorials are phenomenal. Thank you!!
Same here!! Glad to hear I’m not the only one.
So cool! I’m jealous of your mold 😜
Thanks!
Love your videos. Thank you for being so detailed and also you "radio" voice. It's soothing and exciting to watch your builds
Great job and detail Derek!
Thanks!
Great work your rub and buff technique is spot on !!
Thanks!
I've used this patina technique multiple times since seeing it in one of your other videos! Now I gotta try that gold paint!
Yeah, rub n buff is awesome and comes in a ton of metal colors.
Super great detail! So realistic! Thanks for sharing! 😃
You're very welcome.
Love the wallpaper in the background. Great job as usual.
Thanks, Jason!
Cool
Thanks for watching!
I had no idea you could buy a mold off of the internet to make one of these...You learn something new every day.. Love the painting technique AND your wallpaper background...Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Thanks! You can’t buy the mold but you can buy castings. We did have a nice Christmas and hope you did too.
Can you explain that a little? Do you mean you bought a handle, disassembled it, and then made a mold?
Thanks! Great make.
Glad you liked it!
Another solid video. Man was I hoping for an STL so I could print this out...
I don't, but there's this version over on cults that was designed by @prototypes_and_pixie_dust cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/haunted-mansion-serpent-doorhandle
@@VanOaksProps good man! Thanks!
Another great video. Hope you had a Merry Christmas
Thank you! I hope you did, too.
Awesome finish on those Derek, they look so good! I used to have these and a bunch of other castings from the Haunted Mansion but I loaned them to a friend and never got them back haha, bummer! Then he suddenly started selling them online, hmm maybe I could buy some back haha, ugh! Oh well! Hey another great and informative video my friend, thank you! Hope you guys had an awesome Christmas! Cheers😄😍🎄☃️🎁👍
Thanks Steve! It was good. Quiet, but good.
@@VanOaksProps By the way, we devoured those cookies haha! Omg they were soooo good! Thank you both again so much for that, it was such an awesome holiday surprise! You guys are the best! 😆😋😋😋🥰🥰👍
Interesting as always. I hope you have a happy Christmas holidays.
Thank you. You too!
I want 20! For every door on my house!!
That is so cool!
Thank you!!
I need one of these. Awesome job!
Thanks!
Fantastic! Now come install one on every door in my house. 😂💜
Sure thing! 😂
Love your videos! As a Haunted Mansion and overall Halloween fan, you're probably the best content creator I've seen out there! Would you consider selling a cast of this? I would really treasure it as part of my HM collection. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Thanks so much! I don’t offer the handle, unfortunately. I think there’s some available on Etsy or eBay.
Well done! Love it❤️
Thank you!
Awesome job! I am thinking about trying to make one or two
You should!
That turned out pretty cool brother
Thank you!
Very cool thank you
Glad you liked it
I love this handle! Did you make the mold yourself?
I did! If you want to learn more about mold making, check out my video: ua-cam.com/video/r0qshiVaK5w/v-deo.html
That is beautiful! I think I'll try the Smoothcast! I noticed you used a whisk for mixing, how do you clean it after your done?
Nope, no whisk. Just a paint stir stick.
@@VanOaksProps I must being seeing things, omg, I thought for sure, so I re watched it. I definitely am losing my mind.
I have to have a go at casting with resin one day. I'm afraid of trying and messing it up. lol Hope you had a good Christmas, Derek. I remember seeing one of these that you made for Club Fear on Hollywood Haunter's channel.
We did. Very small and missed being with our families but that’s 2020 for you.
You should definitely give it a shot. If you start with their trial size kit you’ll only be into it for around $80 and it’s a relatively straightforward process. Just make sure all your materials work well together.
Use a heat source like a long nosed lighter or heat gun to remove bubbles as they rise to the open side of your mold before it hardens. Whatever you try will look awesome.
Who doesn’t love a good rub ‘n buff?!
Haha that looks great! Will you ever show that installed, or have I missed it?
I will eventually. There's just a lot of stuff that has to happen inside the house before I can get to that part.
Great video. Obviously you made this before the HM plaque video… but in that video you did the patina before the gold rub. Are the steps interchangeable?
You've got some really great questions! I love it.
The steps are interchangeable. I did it the opposite way for the plaque because I wanted to down play the patina. For the door handle I wanted it a bit more present, hence the flip flop on the order.
@@VanOaksProps which shade of RnB gold do you prefer?
Nevermind, I see antique gold!
Another great vid. Do you know if there is a mirrored version of one of these or are all of them this orientation on the ride, just curious.
Thanks! The handles were only made for left side mount and in the rare event they needed a right side they just installed it backward.
Very well done! Can this be used as a functional doorknob? For a bedroom perhaps...?
Thank you! They could be. I made some parts with the help of another maker so that I could use them as working handles but haven’t installed them permanently yet.
I do not have the talent or tools to make those. Do you sell them? If so, are they strong enough to use as actual door handles or are they mainly decorative?
I don’t sell them, but resin is plenty strong should you find some online.
Awesome work! How'd you get the parts for the mold?
I’ll never tell 🤣
@@VanOaksProps Harsh! Amazing and Im now on a quest to find this handle!
eBay and Etsy have bee good sources over the years.
How did you get the shapes for the door handle parts that you did for the mold?
They were 3d modeled and printed in resin, then molded in silicone.
is it possible to buy yourself a cast of this handle?
Check Etsy or ebay. You might be able to find some there.
@@VanOaksProps i have searched a lot on esty or ebay, but only you seem to have these parts of such good quality.
Where did you get that wallpaper?
Bradbury.com. Search for “Lily”
How do I get the molds???
There are often sellers of the cast replicas on eBay and Etsy if you wanted to get one for yourself and make a mold of it.
I WANT ONE... can you sell a mold OR make me one?
Not for sale, sorry.
where did you get the mold?
I made it using a casting I found and the other parts were either 3d printed or were bought off the shelf just like they did for the ride (not everything is custom).
@@VanOaksProps thanks!
💚👍
Thanks for watching!
