Incredibly awesome!.. Thank you for sharing.. but then to hear it's for a 'pirate themed bar'.. Blow me down and pick me up, sh!t just got real. Thank you again, this is the stuff [my] dreams are made of. Absolute magic! Off to search for any pirate bar videos you may have made.
Very clever! And good tutorial. I’m really grateful that you didn’t waste our time by including absolutely every second of your work! A mistake which ruins a lot of UA-cam tutorials. You provided exactly what was needed!
Wow !!! Great job brother. It really is cool to see all the things you did with the skulls too. Thanks for sharing. Of course I am going to do this in the next day or two.
@@OfftheGridMakes I'll add: you can generate a reasonable facsimile of a moving jaw if you use the elastic stretchy silicone cording (it comes in clear, as well as glow in the dark and other colors) and "sew" the bottom mandible to the skull following any Anatomy and Physiology showing how ligaments join in the human body. Nothing like a little wind making the skulls "speak" Without a larynx, poor things can't make any noise, lol!
Super cool! I think leaving some holes & imperfections such as missing teeth, especially if you're doing a graveyard thing or putting lights behind them. Love your pirate bar, Arrrgh!
I like the reasons given at the end. Could have just told the audience that "so far I've filled an entire room with skulls, and I've no reason to stop now" 💀
@@OfftheGridMakes Check out Stiltbeast Studios here on youtube. He has a lot of Halloweeny things to make, and more importantly techniques. Lots skeletons and skulls which fit into your pirate theme party.
Brilliant! 😀...and great use of what would otherwise be rubbish. Painting the teeth, you could paint them entirely black, then quickly, but, gently, wipe off the wet paint, leaving the gaps black. I use this method for antiquing metal castings.
@@OfftheGridMakes In this instance, using undiluted paint would paint the between-the-teeth black, rather than black washing them. Depending on the work, I use both methods. I should have clarified that.
How fantastic! I love this kind of stuff...very unique! Will you be stopping at the finished skulls or will you use this concept in many other things? I think you should continue on. I love the idea of this project and my mind is running with ideas. Thank you for sharing with us ♡
this is my first introduction to milk jug plastic as a medium for molding. It looks simple enough to mold into just about any shape that isn't too small and intricately detailed. The patching technique expands the possibilities greatly. You could patch together the plastic from several jugs to create larger projects. With enough patience and human bones, a person could create an entire plastic skeleton.
Great tutorial and amazing idea. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and as you said you are not professional and a bit of trial by error going on, makes it even better. Bar looking great too, looking like all you need is some Sheila's to put on the barb! Lol. 🤪👍🙏🏴🇬🇧
@@OfftheGridMakes still figuring it out? Look like you conquered it 100% to me! Make me think very talented and like I said, the bar looking fantastic as well! Is it a garden bar or beach bar I wonder? Either way, look like a good place to have a cold one and a few shrimp on the bbq!😎👍🙏🏴🇬🇧
Just a thought but as a dental lab tech and making everything from crowns and retainers we used a releasing agent. In my own lab, I used Water Glass bought at most drug stores. It's cheap and comes in quarts. Just brush on and let set for a few minutes.
Loved it ... thought about filling the skull with quick set cement and base them around my water meter and mail box pole... then maybe my neighbors will be a little more careful using my drive to turn around in... just a thought...
I knew it was only a matter of time before of your great videos popped off! Just noticed this one has hit it out of the park, well done mate.@@OfftheGridMakes
It looks like the bottles you have do a better job than the ones we have . Maybe the ones here have too much plastic . Great video . Thumbs up . Subscribed .
Have you thought about how you could add different effects by cutting the eye and nose holes out? BTW I think the patching you came up with is brilliant and could give you the chance to simulate a cracked skull where you placed the patch, overall this a great project and one that can be customized many ways.
@@OfftheGridMakes as in the commercial kind that aren't actually haunted and people line up to go through and get scared around Halloween? It's a pain in the butt. Lol But his 'haunted house's is actually haunted as well. You buy it, decorate it, get volunteers and actors trained and costumed, then you charge people money to come through. There's also a lot of codes to obey such as occupancy, fire codes(sprinklers, extinguishers, marked exits with lights, etc.and insurance stuff but it's worth it.
Does this also work with PET bottles (transparent soda water/lemonade bottles)? Not everywhere on Earth milk is sold in this type of white jugs. I only see car chemicals, cleaning agents or distilled water sold this way.
....a pile of skulls in my front yard just before tourists return after lockdown absence?.....priceless....thank you OTGM...(and thank you youtube algorithm!)....
Way back in the seventies I had a friend in school who had a skull in the rear window of his old firebird. He had tied into his brake light wire and the skulls eyes lit up when he hit the brakes. This was well before they had the third eye brake lights. Eventually a cop pulled him over about it. He requested to see the skull. Turned out to be a real skull... He spent a fair amount of time explaining to a lot of different cops where he got it. He had found it along the creek bank ten or more years earlier and kept it . This process would probably be more practical than his idea. He was a bit of a strange kid.
Where I live, it would be even considered a traffic violation with penalty to wire any creatures eyes in car to light up with brakes, because scaring other drivers may make them collide.
@AerialTheShamen I live in Florida...we light up anything that will accept a light. Our horse patrol cops have LED light bars woven into the horses tails for night use. If the tail light suddenly becomes invisible...it's because the horse has raised his tail....turn on wipers.
Great hack! For us Yanks (Americans) we don't get milk in these jugs but we do have Wesson oil or the like to duplicate this technique... Thank you for sharing this technique in a world of being "greener" or not buying Chinese crap. Get out there and make great stuff with what we have... If there was any critique to this video, I'd add do the gluing and heat-gunning in a well ventilated area. The fumes may be hazardous. Hats off to "Off The Grid"
Couldn’t you use some UV resin to fix the splits and to secure the top of the scull pieces together? Also, are you using a mask to protect you from the plastic fumes?
These are incredible. Once you became proficient, how long to make one? Or were they all made is separate pieces once you got a system? Really really cool.

Wow - you really can build bone mass quickly with milk!
Yes - it's very healthy
Har-har-hardy hahaha
see what you did there...👉
🤣🤣🤣
😆
I had no idea you could do this kind of thing with milk bottle plastic. That's fantastic!
Yep - it's the perfect material for this sort of thing
if you are willing to take the time to prep it you can make it into 3d printer filament
Incredibly awesome!.. Thank you for sharing.. but then to hear it's for a 'pirate themed bar'.. Blow me down and pick me up, sh!t just got real. Thank you again, this is the stuff [my] dreams are made of. Absolute magic! Off to search for any pirate bar videos you may have made.
Well to be fair you need milk bottle plastic, a skull replica, a heat gun, a vice, gorilla glue, a sponge, paint and a whole lot of patience. 🙂
Very clever! And good tutorial. I’m really grateful that you didn’t waste our time by including absolutely every second of your work! A mistake which ruins a lot of UA-cam tutorials. You provided exactly what was needed!
Oh my - I do not like those videos!
I love the upcycling of milk jugs. It opens up a world of possibilities... ✨️
Yep - lots of ideas
cheers mate, that was awesome, and also "I made these skulls to decorate my pirate themed bar" didn't see that coming, very cool idea
Everyone needs a pirate themed bar!
When you mentioned *"Bar",* I realized this is *Quite THE MUST!* Thanks! *Cheers!*
Yep - can't beat a pirate bar!
Wow !!! Great job brother. It really is cool to see all the things you did with the skulls too. Thanks for sharing. Of course I am going to do this in the next day or two.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Go for it!
Brilliant idea. I knew it PET plastic are handy but never thought of using this way. Nice one!
Glad it was helpful!
What an amazing project. Never imagined you could make items like this from a milk jug. Thanks for sharing
Drink more milk
The tears and rips actually add a bit of realism. Super neeto!
Yep - sort of add to the spookiness!
they look really good! What a great idea.
Glad you like them!
Now this is the best Milk jug skull tutorial ever. Thank you
I agree 100% 💀
Glad it was helpful!
@@OfftheGridMakes extremely helpful
@@OfftheGridMakes I'll add: you can generate a reasonable facsimile of a moving jaw if you use the elastic stretchy silicone cording (it comes in clear, as well as glow in the dark and other colors) and "sew" the bottom mandible to the skull following any Anatomy and Physiology showing how ligaments join in the human body.

Absolutely great! Thank you!
And, i went through your extensive list of projects that you feature on your channel! Im a member now! Enjoy your day!!
Awesome, thank you!
I'm going to try this to make molds for concrete fire pit skulls.
Bravo 👍
Sounds like it might work - send me a picture?
Sir... this is an amzazing video.
Every detail in you informatioms stepby step and reasons for your doings ..... just wow amazing.
Thank you. I do spend a fair bit of time editing my videos!
Thanks for sharing your experience! Great attempt at gluing. My experience has been nothing does a good job at glueing #2 plastic.
Hot melt glue work pretty well
Super cool! I think leaving some holes & imperfections such as missing teeth, especially if you're doing a graveyard thing or putting lights behind them. Love your pirate bar, Arrrgh!

Can't beat a pirate bar
That's really dope! I've worked with HDPE before, but only using a torch. I'm impressed with the control you have using a heatgun and a damp sponge!
Can't beat a damp sponge
Hello, nice project. Thanks for taking the time to film and show it.
No problems - glad you enjoyed it
Sweet! I love it! I've got a small porcelain skull that I could use. Love it! Great for the season too! 💪
Hope porcelain doesn't crack with the heat. Be careful
@@OfftheGridMakes yes, good point. I do worry about that a bit. It is a nice skull.
The skulls look great, and you made an excellent video. Goodonya.
Thank you very much!
Awesome diy tutorial my friend! Cheers from the USA!
Thank you 👍
Nice creativity, thanks for sharing the process, when each one is perfect we don’t get to see the patching or color tests.
You're right
Very cool brother!! Thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it
Lov lov lov your tutorial. I was looking for this as we also only get the 3Ltr bottles in NZ. This is for my Halloweeen project. Cheers.
Long way to Halloween?
A bit of watered down dark varnish will make the skulls look very realistic.
Great job.
Wood stain is even better. Brush on liberally then wipe.
Sounds like that might work - I'll give it a try at some stage

Heavy skulls good
i had no desire to do this or have this,NOW i must try and have this in my world thank you
Can't beat having a good skull to keep you company
@@OfftheGridMakes lol dont let the cops hear that
This would be kinda cool to make lights out of, with some of those colored flame bulbs in the light sockets.
Lights would be good
They came out fantastically abhorrent. Wonderful job, Happy Halloween!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thought you were getting ready for a Halloween party early Chips! ;) That worked really well, great recycling too.
I sure am ready for next Halloween!
I knew it was only a matter of time before of your great videos popped off! Just noticed this one has hit it out of the park, well done mate.@@OfftheGridMakes
It looks like the bottles you have do a better job than the ones we have . Maybe the ones here have too much plastic . Great video . Thumbs up . Subscribed .
Maybe true. I have found that the amount of heat you apply makes a bit of a difference to the result
Those look awesome! Great project!
Thanks a bunch!
They turned out great!
Thanks Percy
Awesome thank you for sharing.
Stay strong and be safe.
Thanks - right back at ya!
To add a bit of heft to your milk bottle skulls, you can use expanding foam. Hope this helps.
Good idea. Concrete works well too!
@@OfftheGridMakes plaster, clay, play-dough, etc.
Oh my goodness I just loved your video
Thanks
This is golden mate, as a biker I been into skulls for over 40 years , can’t wait to try this .great , clear instruction . Ripper !
More skulls is good

Many thanks on the other side to whoever donated the mold skull.
Some plastics factory I'm guessing
@@OfftheGridMakes ..in China. Great skill & great video! Not easy to accomplish this.
This is brilliant!! I love it!!
Thank you
That heat melting that plastic was satisfying 🙂👍
It really is!
Awesome video and how-to, Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
As so eone that enjoys making Halloween decorations, I thank you. I will pass this along to my buddy that runs haunted houses.
How do you run a haunted house?
@@OfftheGridMakes as in the commercial kind that aren't actually haunted and people line up to go through and get scared around Halloween? It's a pain in the butt. Lol

Incredible job my friend.👍
Thank you 👍
Clever idea. I wonder if you could just make a traditional 2 piece mold and just melt the milk jugs into that and then separate the mold.
Could always try
or make a deep-drawing machine.
....a pile of skulls in my front yard just before tourists return after lockdown absence?.....priceless....thank you OTGM...(and thank you youtube algorithm!)....
Ha! Send me a picture!
Now thats recycling aussie style mate👍,good way to make a bucket load of skulls for halloween deco's too

creative stuff , needs more views
getting there
What would be a good material to look for, for the original skull that won't melt or crack? Thank you!
I am liking this. Plus subbing. This is really well done.
Thank you
Gday from the Gong ive noticed aldis have 4 litre orange juice bottles same material cheers 👍🇦🇺
Yep - That'll work
Maravillosa idea
Y súper ecológica
Gracias por compartir y saludos desde México 🇲🇽 👍👍
You never know when a plastic skull will come in handy.
Always good to have one readily available
These are great! Will try. And I subscribed at the words “pirate themed Easter egg hunt”! 💀🐇
Yep - It was a good one! Rrrrrrr
Awesome video...

AWSOME Job‼️ from 🇺🇸🏴☠️
thanks
Awesome! Next year an improved method would be to build a vacuum mold. Cheers 🍻
This is the cheapo version
They look so light, how do you keep them from blowing away?
Pretty cool thanks for posting 👍
No problem 👍
Great tip for recycle love it.
Saves throwing them out for a while
great tecnique, thanks for share!
Glad you liked it!
That's amazing, love it.
Thank you!
excellent video. the skull you are using as a base what material is it and where did you get it from. I'm from barranquilla -colombia
Do internet search for skulls
So cool I'm going to try this tonight
Go for it!
Thats a great idea i have lots of milk jugs and now i know what to with them lol
This is pretty brilliant!! Thanks!!
Glad you like it!
If you'd rather the glue work quickly you can use super glue and accelerator. Awesome video 👍
Wow this is the first I’ve ever heard about this process now that takes some serious talent HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻 🎃
Thank you
Just curious, how much time was involved in the making of each one?
Goes faster if you make them in batches
where did you get the scull to mold with?
He said in a previous video that he accidentally killed someone
Ha!
Internet search
I wonder if spritzing the hot plastic with water from a spray bottle would work as well as the sponge?
You need to press the hot plastic into place
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Of course, now I have to try this.
Go for it!
This is the coolest thing!
Thank you
Couldn’t you use some UV resin to fix the splits and to secure the top of the scull pieces together?
Also, are you using a mask to protect you from the plastic fumes?
I have found hot melt glue works pretty well if you want to add more sculptural elements. And yes - I do wear a mask all the time
Where's Dad at?......Oh he's out in the garage making skulls again. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Yep - that's my kids!
These are incredible. Once you became proficient, how long to make one? Or were they all made is separate pieces once you got a system?
Really really cool.
Yes - knock them out in about five minutes (before painting)
Awesome. Do you have a preferred heat setting for your gun?
No - but it's maxed out
@@OfftheGridMakes
Okay, thanks. Now I gotta scrounge up some milk jugs, lol
