so, update: I finally got it, and I must say, I'm duly impressed. I spent all of yesterday afternoon playing with it, and got a couple of really cool spires. the only "downside" is that it is indeed a complex tool that requires you to experiment a lot with it. it says so right on the instructions, specifying (rightly so) to use low quality polystirene because you are gonna burn through loads of it while getting the hang of the tool. the only critique I feel like doing so far is that there aren't instructions for the angle templates, took me a while to figure out how to use them.
Great to hear! Keep your eyes out the next couple of weeks, I've been working on a Shape Shifter tips & tricks video that might be able to help you out. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Gerard, you should do more examples. I bought this tool, but it's not so easy to understand how to do all the shapes and It would be good to see other videos, in wich you explane how to put the templates on the chessboard to build other difficult shape. I understood when you talk to see the template at the mirror, but it's not enough. Thank you
Wow, amazing tool Gerard! I thought your multi-tool was impressive but this is something else! And thanks for doing an English version of the video, it’s very much appreciated 👍🏻
Very nice tool and presentation of it! When Proxxon hot wire foam cutter is acquired you will have orders for your accessories from me! I'm from Norway and needed to get the information from Canada about your shop and products. Internet makes wonders!
Thanls for your contributions to Black Magic Craft. I'm excited to watch all your videos but I would LOVE to learn from your crafts. PLEASE MAKE SOME CRAFTING TERRAIN TUTORIALS
Hi Gerard, Any chance you can do a wee tiny demo of all the goodies in shapeshifter kit…there are loads of bits but the stairs, curves and bridges are the most obvious. There are a whole bunch of other goodies that I’m sure many would benefit from learning what they all do…✨👍🏻✨I’ve just assembled mine as you know…it looks lovely. Once I know what all the bits can do, my imagination can join the Elf’s 😉
hugely helpful, I've been looking at a lot of your tools and couldn't figure out how they would work so didn't think to follow up further. this might change that...
I think I may have to get one of those. I don't see me making one, lol. Thanks for the video. I see in just 4 videos you have more subscribers than me, that awesome!
All right, shapes, shapes, shapes! Come on in shapes lovers! Here at the Shifting Lands we're slashing shapes in half! Give us an offer on our vast selection of shapes, this is a shapes blow out! All right, we got white shapes, black shapes, Spanish shapes, yellow shapes, we got hot shapes, cold shapes, we got wet shapes, we got smelly shapes, we got hairy shapes, bloody shapes, we got snappin' shapes, we got silk shapes, velvet shapes, nalga high shapes, we even got horse shapes, dog shapes, chicken shapes! Come on, you want shapes, come on in, shapeslovers! If we don't got it, you don't want it! Come on in, shapeslovers!
Can you please tell me if the The Shape Shifter for the Proxxon hot wire Foam Cutter will fit a Hercules 8500 series hot wire Foam Cutter? Some of the available attachments are interchangeable and some of them aren’t. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the demo. I was given one as a birthday present, but there are so many templates in the set is there a list of which templates make which shapes? The bridge and the stairs are reasonably easy to guess. Also is there a list of suggested settings/co-ordinates in the peg board?
I need to s as ve up for a proxxon so can get your products. I've been on your website a dozen times. I only had enough to buy a crappy off brand awhile back. It's been getting me where i want to be but its still junk lol
Looks like the hot wire was scorching the hexagonal disc that the foam was attached to. There's no room for manoeuvre between the last cut of the foam and the wood that was holding it.
Just unbelievable and how can I buy this full kit please this is just what I am looking for to keep me going and making different items like this will be another world to get my mind busy
I'm definitely getting this now that I have disposable income. Does the shape shifter come with a set of guides, or do I have to buy the expansion set?
So it's a copier add on like you have for wood lathes but only on 1 plane ( dimension ). So why not have a hexagon shaped wire ( as example ) less the bottom wire and you just push it through and in one pass then you have a hexagon. Less complicated wooden add on just wire shapes and a carriage to push the foam through the wires.
I like your video for this tool. I really like this b/c it opens up the prospects of molding. However the tracer is not as 'fine' as I'd like so it cannot read a more detailed template.
Hi Shiftinglands I am trying to find a way to contact you to speak with you please Looking to Purchase Yours Jigs this will suit me like Bees to Honey This is just really Amazing Videos you have made and you make a lot more Videos Greetings from the South West of Ireland V94RXH9 Teady
What Foam are you cutting? Carefull Cutting the Green Polyurethane Foam on hot wires, it is toxic! (Apologies if it is polystyrene-based foam, Just FYI)
What an elegant design! This is so well thought out and implemented. We'll done, Sir!
Thank you for your clear demonstration. It's now on my 'to buy' tool list.
Wow. That's a very nice accessory for the foam cutter.
And bought. Wonderful tool and perfect for mass production of complex terrain elements.
Amazing tool, congratulations!
Your little wheel is normally called a CAM follower in the Engineering world lol. Intriguing concept.

Das ist _fantastiche!_ Very much cool, as us Yanks would say today.
Absolut genial. Da könnte ich schwach werden.
Bleib stark ;-)
Gerard I was wondering if you sell a laser cut file for the shape shifter so I could could cut my own! GB :)
Awesome
can it cut EVA FOAM? if not what tabletop cutter can?
Hi, sorry for my bad English. If I buy the "Shape shifter" the templates for stairways an bridge was in the package? If not where buy it? Thanks
it is basically a 1:1 pantograph. Actually a pantograph might be a good accessory too.
WOW no other word needed
Thanks!
I would like to know, when are we going to be able to get styrodur foam here in the U.S. ? Why the difficulty?
Gerard ... is it true that you will hold a workshop in Vienna this year? If so ... where to sign in? 🙂
Классная приспособа. Лайк. И подписка!
Where could we get this? I have had a look on your Etsy page and on the website but I cannot seem to find it.

Questa base da aggiungere a proxxon..è in vendita? Dove e quanto costa?
Amazing... thanks
Looks like the hot wire was scorching the hexagonal disc that the foam was attached to. There's no room for manoeuvre between the last cut of the foam and the wood that was holding it.

you can find the tool at shop.shiftinglands.com
When will this be available for purchase?
I just looked at ShiftingLands.com and it is not there...
Is that template come with PROXXON ? Or should we purchase it from? Kindly advise
This is an add-on that you can buy in the shiftinglands shop.
Are you still selling this set of tools? I can't seem to find it on your website.

جميل جدآ 👍🏽
Wonderful, you are very good. How did you build the guide you put on the Proxxon? Or where do you buy it?
thank you so much artist
Please check my store at www.shiftinglands.com
will your stuff work with Hercules ?
Yes all tools fit on the Hercues
Thank you for getting back to me I was looking to buy this tool but all I can find are templates.
awesome
Thanks a lot!
Can these tools work on non proxxon foam cutters?
Depends on the type of tool. The Hercules is the exact sme machine and I know there is another one but forgotten the name.
How much are you asking for these? Id love to give it a shot.
please visit SHiftinglands.com
Kind regrds, Gerard
Wow...is this available to buy? If so, who carries it in the U.S.?
Well, working on it very seriously!
where can it be purchased in the USA?
for now you can only order it through the "rest of the world"shop of shiftinglands.com
@@Shiftinglands Thank You I'll look into that. I disable firefighter and hobbies keep my life interesting. My grandpa from Netherlands too.
Please what is the make of this hot wire cutter
Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter
I like your video for this tool. I really like this b/c it opens up the prospects of molding. However the tracer is not as 'fine' as I'd like so it cannot read a more detailed template.
Actually there is another tracer that comes with the tool that uses a thin nail as tracer.
Ohhh wawwwwwww
Exceptional Where can you buy all those templates? thanks

Are you selling this as a set?
Hello Paul, Yes the tool is available. You can check it out at www.shiftinglands.com
