in today’s video we’re making some
rubber knuckles proto putty in a shape
that looks kind of like brass knuckles
but in reality will act more as a punch
protector than any sort of weapon
a while back grant showed how to take
some foam core sheets from the dollar
store and cast them in brass to make
these functional brass knuckles
there’s the spikeless version and the
spiked version frankly there’s very few
situations where you’d actually need
these and you really shouldn’t ever use
them because that’s a dangerous weapon
however today what we’re gonna be doing
is looking at how to create something
quite similar to this but using soft
proto putty you can wear them on your
hands they can feel kind of like brass
knuckles but in the end they’re gonna be
more cushion than weapon here’s the
basic idea we’ve got a couple of pieces
of wood we’re going to cut the negative
shape out of one of them glue it down to
another board and use some proto cutty
pressed into the gap to make a rubber
set of knuckles to start out we’ve
printed off the styrofoam knuckles
template that we used before and we’re
going to be cutting this shape out
tracing it onto a piece of wood and then
[Music]
we’ve got the basic shape cut out let’s
use a little bit of spray adhesive over
the back and stick it down to our board
so we can trace it I cut this little
divot out but that was an attachment for
one of the spikes and I don’t think I’m
gonna use that so that’s just gonna get
trimmed off as well it’s a basic shape
well we’ve got that down though let’s
cut out these circles and also attach
those onto the board so we know where
that’s going to go to the circles won’t
actually have to be lined up perfectly
this whole piece is going to get removed
from the board and we’re just gonna have
a hole that shape that will get glued
down onto another board and all of the
proto putty will get pressed in so we
are going to have to cut those circles
out but we can actually just cut those
shapes out of any part of the board and
then glue them in well we’ll just trace
them on so we know where they go we’ve
got the shape and that’s what we need to
cut out of the board we’ve got some very
intricate turnaround little loop spots
and that’s why we’re going to be using a
scroll saw scroll saws have a very fine
blade they’re really good for tight
little corners we also want to cut just
out of this piece here and we don’t want
to have to cut a line in to there so
we’re gonna start by drilling a hole and
that’s what we use as sort of our access
point we’ll then thread our saw blade
through that hole attach it onto the saw
we’ve got our negative this will get
attached to that board and now we need
to cut these five pieces out and attach
not bad not bad we’ve got our five
pieces and now we need to glue
everything down in place before we do
that though I am just gonna take a
little bit of sandpaper smooth out those
edges in there and just try and make
them a little nicer use some glue attach
these maybe add some clamps just hold it
on place and then we should have our
rubber knuckle mold
I’m gonna try and make two colors at
once rather than a single colored punch
projector I’m gonna try and have sort of
a marbled effect by mixing two colors
I’m not gonna mix them so thoroughly it
becomes one color again I’m just gonna
trained it two colors all swirled
[Music]
use a ventilated area for protoblood
[Music]
random fact John L Sullivan
the last ever bare-knuckle boxing
champion once fought a 75 round fight
which lasted over two hours
[Music]
well I made a little bit of extra you
can see I’ve got something that didn’t
get used but I got enough better to have
too much than too little because
patching more on there would have been
annoying so now we just have to let this
cure and I do have this extra piece as a
sample so I’ll know that once this one’s
ready that one should be ready
I think our protocol has cured let’s see
we lost one of our finger holes which I
mean it’ll be easy to attach back down
it just popped off it probably could
have made it easier to get everything
out if I had angled everything like
sanded it more of an angle or something
like that but I want to be able to use
the same mold for both the left and
right hands and so I just had to leave
it straight up and down which makes it
so it does grip quite a bit there is our
first one it was a little tricky to get
out but it did come out get our fingers
through the holes that worked pretty
great yes actually there’s a pretty good
job of padding I would not want to punch
something that hard without something on
my hand but it’s just kind of bouncy
let’s make another one our mold worked
great we’ve got two sets of rubber
knuckles our proto putty punch
protecting knuckles these are really not
gonna do a darn thing about making you
punch harder but what they are gonna do
is kind of protect your fingers if you
are punching something now I’m not a
doctor I’m not a boxer I’m not an expert
who can tell you that like oh yeah these
are great for what they’re good for is
looking like brass knuckles but not
having to worry about injuring yourself
or someone else as much not saying you
should punch people with the rubber
knuckles on you’ll hurt them you might
hurt yourself but it’s just kind of fun
they look cool anything cool you would
like to see us try making out of proto
putty let us know down in the comments
guys time for some questions and answers
you ask the questions we’re giving you
answers sir spork at Captain spork 3
asks how do we come up with ideas for
our videos sir spork that’s that’s an
interesting question so when I joined
the channel Grant had already been
coming up with ideas for years and years
he had 7 years worth of ideas just put
onto a list and when I applied to be his
assistant on the channel I submitted my
own
with them about a ideas and it was
really just sitting down and thinking of
what are some things that I think would
be cool to build or some experiments
that I think I would like to try
I literally just sat down and thought
what would be a good thing to build what
would be a cool experiment to try out
and some of those I tried and they
didn’t really work out I’ve had some
experiments where I tried them and there
was like no cool result whatsoever I was
like well that’s really dumb and not
exciting at all but we do keep trying to
come up with things we think what would
be fun to build what would be fun to
experiment with
what haven’t we never seen anyone else
do or what’s a weird way to use a
material that everyone’s familiar with
that we could present in an entirely
different direction I think those things
are pretty fun because there’s all sorts
of things we interact with daily that we
don’t think of other uses for them as
much and that’s one of my favorite ways
to come up with ideas is to take
something that we use regularly and use
it irregularly Thank You Cirrus board
for your questions guys thanks for
watching but the fun does not end here
that box up at the top will transport
you to our last video and you should go
check that one out the other box will
show you what YouTube things you should
be watching next if you are not yet a
subscriber just hit this bomb to get in
the club and that way you’ll never miss
out on the fun don’t forget to ring that
Bell and we’ll see you the next one talk
to you then [Applause]
