    I've wanted to make this video for over five years. Ever since I saw this scene with Ron Swanson I've been wanting to give it a try. There were plenty of roadblocks, most notably trying to figure out what the metal type the sconce was, but I persevered!

    Making a sconce just so you can melt it to make the rings is such a herculean level of effort for something so silly. Bravo sir.

      I am exactly the kind of person who would do something like this. “Hmmm I could buy lace for the dress that I’m making, sure, or I could learn three different methods of lacemaking, not be satisfied with any of the results, finally break down and buy some lace. Yup, that’s definitely the better option.”
      “Hmm I could just measure from the edge to make my hem, or I could sit here meticulously following one like of thread across the 60ish inches of fabric just to make sure it’s perfectly along the grainline, since I already made sure the pattern was on grain in the first place.” “Sure, I could roughly pin together these two fabric pieces together, align the notches, and sew, or I can measure along the entire edge what the seam allowance will be on both pieces, sew thread marking lines, line up the seam lines precisely, pin it once every centimeter, and stitch it with the walking foot to make sure the fabric doesn’t shift as I sew it.”
      I tend to make things way harder for myself than they need to be.

      After the hassle with the sconce, the rings part actually did seem easier! I also wanted to keep it close to real-time of Rons instructions.

    Man, I'm glad I found this.
    I was trying to make a circlet for a costume that was too thick for wire. I made it out of EVA foam, but after trying it on a few times, it was already falling apart; it was evident I'd need a studier option. I was wondering what I could do to fix this. I was a little nervous to try metal snips for a design like what I was going for. I kept thinking about this scene from Parks and Rec and thinking "I wonder if this is real," and "If it IS real, I wonder how hard it would be to make a custom mold, rather than a waffle iron."
    I came here just to see if melting metal was as easy as Ron made it seem in this clip (I've used most of the shaping tools for other projects, but I didn't know about the whole "melting into a mold thing). If it was, I was going to look into the logistics of making a mold that wasn't a waffle iron.
    But in your endeavors to make a sconce, you actually answered BOTH of my questions, and specified what metal would be best. Thank you so much!

    Looking at Ron’s video, I would have guessed the sconce was made of pewter - which also has quite a low melting point. But either pewter or tin - making your own sconce is pretty badass! You really are the man!!! Ron would be proud.
