some metal Black Panther claws that are
both strong and effective now I
personally have added these steel mesh
and impact resistant gloves to act as a
vibranium Armour a set of claws will
cost you about $3 so you won’t have to
worry about breaking the bank now first
of all do not be discouraged if you
don’t have access to all the tools that
I do I used a metal bandsaw to cut all
the shapes out of the conduit tubing and
that just saved me some time so if you
have the patience you should be able to
get this done with some common hand
tools like a file and maybe a dremel you
can get one of those for like 20 bucks
online so don’t feel discouraged it’s
just gonna take you a little bit more
time let’s go back to arts and crafts
and create a stencil first I took the
handle of this tool to fill out the
fingertips it makes it much easier to
draw on them next you want to fold your
stencil and a half and cut it out with a
pair of scissors this will give you a
perfect mirrored image customize the
design however you like I made mine a
little bit larger because I’d be
sharpening and grinding the edges but I
wanted to maintain this virtual
retractable claw a SPECT laminate the
design using some clear packing tape any
tape will do really but this was easiest
and go ahead and cut it out with some
scissors and try it on the voltage
conduit tubing for size now move over
about half a centimeter from the edge of
your finger we’re gonna create this
knuckle plate to go ahead and cut one of
those outs and then line it up with the
mark tape that together this is going to
give us
a sort of master stencil to work from
but we want to make sure we have a nice
clean one that isn’t so choppy but when
it traced onto a new piece of paper fold
that in half and cut it now I folded
this piece of paper twice so after
cutting it out you should have two exact
duplicates one that you can store for
safekeeping all right so this is I’m
gonna use as a stencil I laminated it if
you don’t have a laminator that’s fine
you can just use some clear plastic tape

[Applause]
like all right use your imagination this
bag I have to draw face on them Dean did
a really good job that drawing doodle of
his is like my masterpiece so we’re
gonna see these claws can do do it
there goes the phone you didn’t see that
let’s go on to some stronger material
I’m gonna stick this cardboard a little
kitty cat scratching this post I feel up
that’s kind of dumb phone probably isn’t
gonna be much more effective than the
cardboard self so alright so now we’re
gonna switch it up see if we can just
slash through this duct tape she’s gonna
catch it or break my finger this is
chicken wire salt some chickens came
does it hurt your hands at all it really
doesn’t hurt my hands and supplies that
think it’s because I have some decent
layers I could pull my channel to see
what my audience thinks that I should do
it’s not very little profile you
definitely notice that they’re there but
it gives you the next area to do what
you need to do and then open up a can of
tuna or something I don’t know here’s
the shoes all right so we found this
nice guy I don’t know his name
Joe this is Joe I decided to ask a
stranger to allow me to attack them so
this is gonna kind of replicate the
it’s the only thing that I know of you
know basically a shield versus black
being at their cost so you ready Joe my
name is gear or a good catcher here but
you can call me oh you did a number on
the shield I mean it’s a pretty good
scratches I think so Captain America
didn’t take his just point to me but I
think in the new infinity war movie
Captain America gets a new shield and
house similar for bashing sort of
gadgetry built into it let’s go so maybe
that will be another project the
deployable shield and how it’s pretty
cool so thanks Joe
I’m glad this was our first like
official ever it’s like how real
friendships that’s the bonding right
there I put a good time today you can
also make some really good pulled pork
sandwiches if you’re into that you take
a look at these things that’s probably
the
best test for the strongest material you
can see that I mean I guess you have to
take my word for it that I’m not in pain
but the amount of armor the having this
nice coating kind of here that that
protects against knuckles you have a
strong steel so you have cheap you have
relatively low profile you have the
ability to kind of deploy the claws if
you want to use your imagination and it
doesn’t hurt when you use them because
you have all this nice armor so I think
that’s pretty cool I think it’s a good
prototype leave a comment let me know
what you think of this try to make it so
it was a DIY kind of project without
breaking the bank
something that is at least effective for
the point of actually using them for
superhero purposes so there are a ton of
different ways that I could have done
this I actually started off with some
really advanced drawings whose gonna be
like electromechanical was gonna be
similar to like an assassin’s creed type
of blade that would come out at the top
of the hand instead of on the bottom
there’s so many features that I was
trying to add that if one of them was
going to fail then the whole project
would be a bust
for example I was going to use Springs
to kind of guide the claws down the
hands well the stronger the Springs the
less easy it is to actually bend your
hands so you want to have this rigid
structure of just basically you’d be
like this trying to like fight the bad
guys no you want to be able to grab them
you want to be able to throw something
you want to be able to grapple and do
all sorts of martial arts so you need
your actual dexterity of your hands
otherwise what’s the point so I asked my
audience in a poll what they wanted me
to actually include in this project you
guys chose that you wanted something low
profile that would have a strong
structure and would be manually
retractable you know a DIY and consumer
sort of aspect and that’s why I use the
material I did that’s why I didn’t go
crazy with the design I think that it’s
functional even though you’ll have the
deployability of the claws you still
have the ability to conceal them and
then you can activate them like
virtually by just bending your fingers
so hopefully you enjoyed this video and
you found it uh entertaining to say the
least so thank you so much for watching and take it easy as always
