    Who else was looking at his biceps when he was talking about attaching the arm! hahahaha. I was so distracted by the amazing muscles! anywho, I love this and will be making it!
  • @olsipire
    This is absolutely the best one by far. Things like these can only be found at the stores for hundreds of dollars!
  • @tony9207
    Talk about detail... its all in the details... and bud - you nailed it. Looking at your garage... or workshop... you obviously pay attention to details! Awesome, thank you. Perhaps after Halloween, you can show how you organized your garage? It looks great.
  • I'm staring at his garage set up and being very envious of his garage and all the tools
  • @paulpardee
    Before gluing the hips together, put a mark across the elbow and the T pieces to indicate the lean, that way you just line those back up when you glue and reassemble. Great build! I love that you left in the "mistakes" and helped others learn from them, too!
  • @PrimoLife2
    We love making our own props and this one is so simple and one of the smoothest I’ve seen! Great job!
  • Instead of glueing the joints, you can use sheet metal screws to secure the joints. This allows more compact storage options!
  • I like how you avoided drilling through your finger on that shoulder hole!
  • @user-gp4jh2nl9q
    She was creepy!!! Just looking at her (in person) I had chills!!! Nice job
  • @waynejames2529
    I have a tip for you. When you set any PVC joints, pipe etc. to where you think it is set for the angle you want etc. Before they are glued, take a sharpie and put a line on every joint and a line on the pipe, That is where the two should meet, then when you take it apart and go back and glue it.... it will be simple to align . I do this in intricate plumbing like for sprinkler systems.
  • @RIOTNOOB
    Whats better than PVC glue are screws. This way it makes it easier to store. I have been doing special effects for over 20 years. Keep up the good work.
  • Use a Sharpie to mark the alinement of the pipes before glue-up an old plumbers hack, saves a lot of tears!
  • @M01st_Nu6g3t
    A possible little tip for gluing the angle of the torso, find the position you want it in, then draw a line across it so you have a marker for positioning. Could be used for really any angled pvc gluing really.
  • @laurahubbard9470
    Another fantastic video!!!! Love how you explain every step so clearly. And glad you’re back!! I’ve missed seeing new videos πŸ‘»
  • Thank you for giving dimensions!! I told my wife with these detailed instructions I can do this. She is stoked.
  • @msvsalt
    Absolutely spot on with the supplies list and measurements. Easy to follow and pleasant to watch. Excellent video.
  • @benjaminnnkt
    Every time i think you can't come out with a better project you do! this has blown me away! so incredible
