In the case of this torch the whole thing is built from EVA foam floor mats, I believe it 3/8". The pipe for the arm is sprinkler pipe but you can adapt to use almost anything. I normally don't list materials needed, as I usually state what is needed in the video as I go along, as I completely suggest to watch the whole video as many cases I change my mind on design later in the video from my idea at the start. In many cases, these videos record my first attempt at creating all these props. I may go back in some down time and list the materials needed on each video. Thanks for watching!
This great! 2 questions tho. What about the flame? Then how did you bevel the edges and make up the pipe? What exactly did you use? Could you show a few seconds of that? Please and thank you!!
The flame at the time eluded me, and I had to revisit it at a later date to do it justice, you can find that here th-cam.com/video/ELaUHCJVXYk/w-d-xo.html As for the the bevelling of the foam, I used a rotary tool with a sanding drum on it to do the beveling, and then finished off heat sealing it with a heat gun, and I aged the pipe the same way, with the rotary tool. Maybe I will throw together a couple of shorts to explain those techniques quickly. I wish I had the luxury of fully explaining all the tricks I use in each video, but sadly it would end up 50 hours long! lol. Thanks for watching @tabathamccord5981
Those demon possessed exercise mats are always the best to turn into props. It goes a long way to that little bit of added character! Lol. Thanks for watching Francois!
This is perfect for my station at work! I am curious how you add the flame. Thanks for all of this! Will be trying to make two of these very very soon!
Hi Tom! I will be honest, I have not yet done a video on how to add a flame as right now it's a sketch in my book on how I think it might work. In a perfect world the torch would have a small fan driving some pieces of fabric to make the flame. I have a few props I want to revisit and add the electric/lighting functions to them. Thanks for watching, if you end up building one or two, I'd love to see the end result!
You are awesome! Thank you very much!!! I need to make some of these, but with an actual fire light bulb. Probably will need to attach the top part to the exterior of the pvc tube instead of the inside (so there is room to hide the electrical parts inside the tube and put the light right in the middle) Now I just need to find this EVA foam material somewhere in my country haha, but thank you very much again for your creativity! I too want to add medieval stuff to a space of my house (an office) so you have a new subscriber!! :D
Thanks Sasha! The Eva foam material is from exercise mats and they are pretty universally available (or I can hope they are). I had always intended to go back and do another video on the flame but to date the things I have tried I have disliked the final result! I am hoping to go tackle it in the quiet part of the year so keep an eye out for a second video on this lovely little torch! Thanks for watching 😀
@@SamhainPropworks Awesome! I'll waiting for it then :D Have you tried with the fire light bulbs on amazon? They seem to do a cool effect, but if you don't like the look of the bulb on the torch, maybe you can create a "screen" with paper or something to cover it? Idk
I really like those bulbs but the ones I saw all need a electrical cord to power them, which with a torch on a wall with a cord hanging out of it won't exactly look the best :). I want to make one powered with a lithium battery that way everything can fit inside the tube and still look medieval. I was even thinking of a fan with a small light blowing on silk would look pretty cool as well :) Thanks for the suggestions though, if you build one, let me know what you went with, I would like to see it :)
It is always a surprise how much something changes with even the most basic paint job, that and dry brushing can make anyone look like they know what they are doing, I am a fine example! Lol. As for the flame I have some ideas but I am leaving it stew for a while! Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed the video!
It would very much look awesome in your build! This is one of the props I am going to do a 2.0 on and make a MDF version of it and actually figure out lighting for it, I need to throw it into my crazy list of projects I want to make videos on :). Thanks for watching Dave!
Thanks Terminal, I have a few people who have mentioned they are going to try this with MDF, but up till now I have not seen a final version, if you build one I'd love to see it :) Thanks for watching!
The only way I could suggest is find a local library or copy shop and ask them to print it. At this juncture I’m not offering pre-printed plans but maybe one day in the future 😀 Thanks for watching!
Hey Automobile Modifications, there has actually been two follow up videos to this torch since I had done it. This one here is adding the flame bulb th-cam.com/video/ELaUHCJVXYk/w-d-xo.html and this one th-cam.com/video/iRyoN59rv4I/w-d-xo.html is the video where I revealed the 3d printer plan for it incase you wanted to 3d print it rather than craft it from EVA!
Your template link leads to a truck template. I have a perfect prop that is going to use this. Thanks for making it available. I have not worked with EV foam before so im looking forward to it. Would love to see if you have a way to just view all your available templates as well.
Well gosh! I'm not sure how I managed to link the template from the Christmas tree ornament instead of the torch, regardless thanks for catching that, it is fixed now! I'm thinking I just copied the base description from the last video and forgot to update the link. This torch is actually my first real EVA foam project as well, I had muddled with it before but had not used it exclusively for a project and it is a great medium. I am working on this weeks video and am finding myself getting more and more comfortable with it and the ideas are just exploding. I don't have a central list for all my templates, but I really should. Until then, any of the videos that need a template should have a link to go snag it (Unless of course they link to a truck ornament! lol) If you end up building something, I'd really like to see it! Thanks for watching Michael!
The only time I did some were with the full sized cannon build, which I used large Christmas ornament balls spray painted to make them look like the balls 😀 Hope it helps! Thanks for watching
Wow what an awesome piece, and great tutorial buddy! I absolutely love this! I’m very into medieval and pirate stuff, might have to make some of these! Thanks so much for sharing and can’t wait to see what you do with the room! Cheers💀🎃😄👍
Thanks Grim! I admit my next project is going to borrow a bit of how you did the weathered boards on the roof of that well you created. Thats the great thing about TH-cam, we all have the ability to learn from one another. As for the room, I have decided decorating my house through the year is so much better than just waiting for Halloween! Thanks for watching!
Hello, this is amazing and exactly what Ive been looking for, are you still selling these pre-assembled? I would love to commission two from you, I have been looking everywhere and need two I can add a fan to the bottom of with sheer flames and lights
This looks incredible! I’m planning on making some torches for a set, but they need to be very durable. I have access to a laser cutter, would I be able to make this out of wood?
These could very easily be built out of the wood using the current build tutorial, the rings around the torch would have to be designed as actual rings, as right now they are just bands that are wrapped around the vertical spines. The only issue would be weight of course so they would have to be held into the wall with a bit more of a real screw (Rather than the pin that holds it currently). But swapping the majority to MDF or the such would be easy as the plastic pipe would easily take the weight of the wood in the torch. If you end up building one, I would love to see the final result. I might make a 2.0 of this tutorial where I do build it out of solid wood :). Thanks for watching :)
Hey Hevti! I'm going to be making a video on the light solution for this torch hopefully this week. I had a breakthrough yesterday on the idea for it and now to get it fleshed out and into video form.
@@SamhainPropworks Thank you SO SO much, it's exactly what we wanted and will most likely attempt to make it in time for our next competition in 3 weeks!
I have designed a second version of this that has screw holes built into the back plate, which I am currently redesigning several different parts of this torch to create a Version 2 along with the ability to have a push switch in the base!. I'm hoping to have it completed soon!
I will put together a price and post it on Samhain.ca, I'm not sure what it will be, but I will let you know when it is posted :) Would you be looking for a 100% assembled torch, 100% assembled and painted torch, or just the pieces you will assemble once you get it?
Maybe it is! Maybe I am Inigo Montoya so I just have access to Fezzik's straws whenever I want to make a torch :) Thanks for watching @luthersmithers6052
I need flame!!! LOL I have been scouring videos in search of how to add flames to a torch. I feel like a cave man... If you figure out how to add flame to this great torch please share. :)
Hey Debra! I am working on a flame for this torch but I am not happy with the results yet. If you can get power to one of these a flame bulb while not perfect would look amazing in low light with this torch. The issue is I am trying to figure out a battery based solution as not everyone has the luxury of being able to run a power cord to it 😀. Thanks for watching!
Do you list the supplies needed anywhere or do i have to skim through the whole video or transcript to note what all is needed?
