Project Inspired By:
TheArtOfWeapons (http://bit.ly/IBRamboneSlingshot), and Rbguns (http://bit.ly/IBM9RubberBandGun).
WARNING: Styrofoam crafting involves high temperature cutting wires which can burn skin, and release small quantities of toxic gasses from the styrofoam itself. Metal casting should only be attempted under adult supervision, by those skilled in the process, and who understand the risks. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that any project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.
Project History & More Info:
This project was born after I ran into an awesome design for a wooden Rubber Band Gun designed by “RBGuns” a couple of years ago. (http://bit.ly/IBM9RubberBandGun)
I had recently seen a “lost foam casting” tutorial by “The Art of Weapons” http://bit.ly/IBRamboneSlingshot) that inspired me to try it myself, but rather than make a slingshot, I wanted to try something a little different.
I tried styrofoam-casting a gun from the Rbguns M9 template, but the metal didn't flow properly in the sand, and it failed on each attempt. And each attempt was a lot of work.
I soon realized the foam gun needed to be one solid piece, so I spent a couple of days redesigning it in photoshop, using the RBguns design for inspiration, then tweaking it with minor adjustments until I could get a successful cast.
I expanded the trigger guard nearly twice as large as the original was, because that was the biggest problem area for each of the aluminum casts because the metal would stop flowing and wouldn't complete the model.
This final design has served me well, and looks really great in styrofoam by itself! So there's no need to cast into metal if you don't want to.
I've had requests for the template, and how I made the gun since the day I first released the metal casting video, so in response to popular request, I'm happy to give you this tutorial, and template for free.

Project Inspired By:
This project was inspired by 2 videos. If you check them out, please let them know that Grant Thompson sent you. Thanks! :) First was a “lost foam casting” tutorial by “The Art of Weapons” (http://bit.ly/IBRamboneSlingshot) and a Rubber Band gun designed by “RBGuns” (http://bit.ly/IBM9RubberBandGun). I modified the template from RBGuns to make the styrofoam mold.
WARNING:
Charcoal foundries can reach temperatures in excess of 1,000ºC, which is well above the melting point of hobbyists. This project should only be attempted with adequate knowledge and training, proper protective safety gear, and in a fire resistant area with adequate ventilation. The sparks flying from the foundry can ignite fires, and the fumes from burning dross can be toxic. Use caution and common sense. Be safe and have fun, but always remember that any project or experiment is at your own risk.
Project History & More Info:
The gun is solid aluminum, made from melted down soda cans.
I spent over 100 hours of time, and 7 styrofoam prototypes to make this video. About a third of the time was spent filing and sanding the gun. Each time I poured a casting for the gun, the trigger guard wouldn’t complete all the way through, so I kept making new styrofoam guns, modifying the designs slightly until it worked.
Once I got a fairly clean casting, I put 2 days into filing down rough points, and sanding them smooth.
The gun could use a little more work, and it’s not perfect, but this experiment was mainly a proof of concept that nearly anything you can imagine can be made fairly easily with the “lost foam casting” technique. Overall, I really am happy with the gun though! It weighs 556 grams, and is really quite smooth to feel.
For future projects, I plan to work more with green sand casting. I believe it will leave a nicer finish overall and won’t require as many prototypes to get it right :) Instead of foam, wood plugs can be used to make the molds, or even real weapons for that matter.

Project Inspired By:
The need to cut clean styrofoam models, for "backyard" metal casting projects.
WARNING: The electrified wire of the "Styro-Slicer" can reach temperatures well above 1,000ºF, which can cause burns, and potentially start fires. This project should only be attempted with adequate knowledge and training, and under constant adult supervision. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that any project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.
Project History & More Info:
Big thanks to Crunchyroll (http://www.crunchyroll.com/thekingofrandom) for choosing to sponsor this video! It helps a lot. :)
When I started casting aluminum, well over a year ago, I learned about a technique called "lost foam casting" from watching an online episode of a show called "Stuck with Hackett".
Hackett made a foundry to melt aluminum, then buried a piece of styrofoam in the sand to make a custom part for a project he was working on. I didn't quite understand how it worked, and it blew my mind!
I wanted to try some experiments of my own, but working with styrofoam was more than frustrating.
Scissors couldn't cut it properly. Knives broke it into sticky styrofoam balls that clung to everything. And I couldn't make anything useful, that looked very good at all.
In my moment of frustration, I somehow remembered back to an experience I had back in pre-school, or kindergarten, where there was some kind of machine we got to use a couple of times to cut styrofoam shapes.
I could only remember that it had a hot wire that sliced through styrofoam no problem, and left really clean cuts.
Inspired by that thought, I got on the internet and searched around for "hot wire foam cutting", and found a lot of commercial devices from about $100 and up.
I also found a couple videos on YouTube of some DIYers showing their own variations using wood, PVC, or other miscellaneous items.
The common theme amongst all versions was that they were all basically just a thin piece of wire connected to electricity, that gets hot, and cuts foam. Everything else is just details.
I got some scrap wood, a piece of picture hanging wire, and in just over 15 minutes I had a crude wire-cutter of my own, powered by a transformer I ripped out of an old stereo.
Unfortunately the prototype was really crude and I didn't have time to make a nice version for my metal casting videos, so I never did mention it. But it was the device I used to craft the styrofoam handgun in my styrofoam casting video. (http://bit.ly/StyrofoamCasting)
I've loved the wire foam cutter ever since, and used it so much and wanted to share it with the world, but I couldn't do it until it was developed "King of Random" style.
My goals were to make it function like a commercial foam factory, take up as little storage space as practical, and do it for as close to $10 as possible.
It's taken this long because I've been so busy with other projects, (mainly rockets), that it just sat on the shelf for over a year.
But I finally devoted a couple of days to prototyping, and came up with this!
The build is fairly easy, but also very technical, and the video is very long.
So I broke it up into segments. One video shows it's features. The other video shows how to build it.
As a side note, my 6 year old can't get enough foam slicing. He uses my old prototype to make anything and everything, and it's become one of his favorite hobbies.

Tools & Materials - https://nickferry.com/2016/04/making-brick-walls-from-styrofoam/
I show how to make styrofoam look like brick or cinder block walls. This is a really easy technique you can use for halloween displays or haunted houses. It would be perfect for a man cave or garage. Making EPS foam (expanded polystyrene) to look like brick or stone isn't really that difficult at all. I also show several different methods to get the faux brick or faux stone look. The key is to use a heatgun to melt the foam to give it a stone-like texture. If you want to learn more about making styrofoam look like brick check out the build article on my website. I will have additional pictures as well as links to all tools and materials you will need to get started.

It’s common practice to recycle paper, glass, and many plastics—in fact, about 35% of the trash produced in the U.S. is recycled or composted. So why can’t we recycle what’s commonly referred to as Styrofoam? (It’s actually expanded polystyrene, or EPS—a bit different!) In episode 19 of Speaking of Chemistry, host Sophia Cai explains that EPS actually can be recycled, but the prohibitive costs have prompted cities to ban the pesky product instead.
If this episode leaves you wanting to know more about recycling EPS, read the sources below.

Styrofoam is a trademark of The Dow Chemical Company for closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam currently made for thermal insulation and craft applications. In 1941, researchers in Dow's Chemical Physics Lab found a way to make foamed polystyrene. Led by Ray McIntire, they "rediscovered" a method first discovered by Swedish inventor Carl Georg Munters. Dow acquired exclusive rights to use Munters' patents and found ways to make large quantities of extruded polystyrene as a closed cell foam that resists moisture.
Because of its insulating properties and buoyancy, it was adopted in 1942 by the United States Coast Guard for use in a six-person life raft.
Styrofoam has since found an immense variety of uses. Dow produces Styrofoam building materials, including insulated sheathing and pipe insulation. The claimed R-value of Styrofoam insulation is five per inch.
Dow also produces Styrofoam as a structural material for use by florists and in craft products. Dow insulation Styrofoam has a distinctive blue color; Styrofoam for craft applications is available in white and green.

Step by step article - https://nickferry.com/2016/04/making-brick-walls-from-styrofoam/ Shrek tower build - https://youtu.be/OcHXbL4Xcik Tools & Materials - https://nickferry.com/2016/04/making-brick-walls-from-styrofoam/ I show how to make styrofoam look like brick or cinder block walls. This is a really easy technique you can use for halloween displays or haunted houses. It would be perfect for a man cave or garage. Making EPS foam (expanded polystyrene) to look like brick or stone isn't really that difficult at all. I also show several different methods to get the faux brick or faux stone look. The key is to use a heatgun to melt the foam to give it a stone-like texture. If you want to learn more about making styrofoam look like brick check out the build article on my website. I will have additional pictures as well as links to all tools and materials you will need to get started. MORE THAN YOUTUBE? - Don't miss out!

It’s common practice to recycle paper, glass, and many plastics—in fact, about 35% of the trash produced in the U.S. is recycled or composted. So why can’t we recycle what’s commonly referred to as Styrofoam? (It’s actually expanded polystyrene, or EPS—a bit different!) In episode 19 of Speaking of Chemistry, host Sophia Cai explains that EPS actually can be recycled, but the prohibitive costs have prompted cities to ban the pesky product instead.

Music By: Scott & Brendo (“Beat Calls” - Instrumental)
http://bit.ly/ScottBrendoiTunes
Project Inspired By:
TheArtOfWeapons (http://bit.ly/IBRamboneSlingshot), and Rbguns (http://bit.ly/IBM9RubberBandGun).
WARNING: Styrofoam crafting involves high temperature cutting wires which can burn skin, and release small quantities of toxic gasses from the styrofoam itself. Metal casting should only be attempted under adult supervision, by those skilled in the process, and who understand the risks. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that any project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.
Project History & More Info:
This project was born after I ran into an awesome design for a wooden Rubber Band Gun designed by “RBGuns” a couple of years ago. (http://bit.ly/IBM9RubberBandGun)
I had recently seen a “lost foam casting” tutorial by “The Art of Weapons” http://bit.ly/IBRamboneSlingshot) that inspired me to try it myself, but rather than make a slingshot, I wanted to try something a little different.
I tried styrofoam-casting a gun from the Rbguns M9 template, but the metal didn't flow properly in the sand, and it failed on each attempt. And each attempt was a lot of work.
I soon realized the foam gun needed to be one solid piece, so I spent a couple of days redesigning it in photoshop, using the RBguns design for inspiration, then tweaking it with minor adjustments until I could get a successful cast.
I expanded the trigger guard nearly twice as large as the original was, because that was the biggest problem area for each of the aluminum casts because the metal would stop flowing and wouldn't complete the model.
This final design has served me well, and looks really great in styrofoam by itself! So there's no need to cast into metal if you don't want to.
I've had requests for the template, and how I made the gun since the day I first released the metal casting video, so in response to popular request, I'm happy to give you this tutorial, and template for free.

Project Inspired By:
This project was inspired by 2 videos. If you check them out, please let them know that Grant Thompson sent you. Thanks! :) First was a “lost foam casting” tutorial by “The Art of Weapons” (http://bit.ly/IBRamboneSlingshot) and a Rubber Band gun designed by “RBGuns” (http://bit.ly/IBM9RubberBandGun). I modified the template from RBGuns to make the styrofoam mold.
WARNING:
Charcoal foundries can reach temperatures in excess of 1,000ºC, which is well above the melting point of hobbyists. This project should only be attempted with adequate knowledge and training, proper protective safety gear, and in a fire resistant area with adequate ventilation. The sparks flying from the foundry can ignite fires, and the fumes from burning dross can be toxic. Use caution and common sense. Be safe and have fun, but always remember that any project or experiment is at your own risk.
Project History & More Info:
The gun is solid aluminum, made from melted down soda cans.
I spent over 100 hours of time, and 7 styrofoam prototypes to make this video. About a third of the time was spent filing and sanding the gun. Each time I poured a casting for the gun, the trigger guard wouldn’t complete all the way through, so I kept making new styrofoam guns, modifying the designs slightly until it worked.
Once I got a fairly clean casting, I put 2 days into filing down rough points, and sanding them smooth.
The gun could use a little more work, and it’s not perfect, but this experiment was mainly a proof of concept that nearly anything you can imagine can be made fairly easily with the “lost foam casting” technique. Overall, I really am happy with the gun though! It weighs 556 grams, and is really quite smooth to feel.
For future projects, I plan to work more with green sand casting. I believe it will leave a nicer finish overall and won’t require as many prototypes to get it right :) Instead of foam, wood plugs can be used to make the molds, or even real weapons for that matter.

Project Inspired By:
The need to cut clean styrofoam models, for "backyard" metal casting projects.
WARNING: The electrified wire of the "Styro-Slicer" can reach temperatures well above 1,000ºF, which can cause burns, and potentially start fires. This project should only be attempted with adequate knowledge and training, and under constant adult supervision. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that any project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.
Project History & More Info:
Big thanks to Crunchyroll (http://www.crunchyroll.com/thekingofrandom) for choosing to sponsor this video! It helps a lot. :)
When I started casting aluminum, well over a year ago, I learned about a technique called "lost foam casting" from watching an online episode of a show called "Stuck with Hackett".
Hackett made a foundry to melt aluminum, then buried a piece of styrofoam in the sand to make a custom part for a project he was working on. I didn't quite understand how it worked, and it blew my mind!
I wanted to try some experiments of my own, but working with styrofoam was more than frustrating.
Scissors couldn't cut it properly. Knives broke it into sticky styrofoam balls that clung to everything. And I couldn't make anything useful, that looked very good at all.
In my moment of frustration, I somehow remembered back to an experience I had back in pre-school, or kindergarten, where there was some kind of machine we got to use a couple of times to cut styrofoam shapes.
I could only remember that it had a hot wire that sliced through styrofoam no problem, and left really clean cuts.
Inspired by that thought, I got on the internet and searched around for "hot wire foam cutting", and found a lot of commercial devices from about $100 and up.
I also found a couple videos on YouTube of some DIYers showing their own variations using wood, PVC, or other miscellaneous items.
The common theme amongst all versions was that they were all basically just a thin piece of wire connected to electricity, that gets hot, and cuts foam. Everything else is just details.
I got some scrap wood, a piece of picture hanging wire, and in just over 15 minutes I had a crude wire-cutter of my own, powered by a transformer I ripped out of an old stereo.
Unfortunately the prototype was really crude and I didn't have time to make a nice version for my metal casting videos, so I never did mention it. But it was the device I used to craft the styrofoam handgun in my styrofoam casting video. (http://bit.ly/StyrofoamCasting)
I've loved the wire foam cutter ever since, and used it so much and wanted to share it with the world, but I couldn't do it until it was developed "King of Random" style.
My goals were to make it function like a commercial foam factory, take up as little storage space as practical, and do it for as close to $10 as possible.
It's taken this long because I've been so busy with other projects, (mainly rockets), that it just sat on the shelf for over a year.
But I finally devoted a couple of days to prototyping, and came up with this!
The build is fairly easy, but also very technical, and the video is very long.
So I broke it up into segments. One video shows it's features. The other video shows how to build it.
As a side note, my 6 year old can't get enough foam slicing. He uses my old prototype to make anything and everything, and it's become one of his favorite hobbies.

I show how to make styrofoam look like brick or cinder block walls. This is a really easy technique you can use for halloween displays or haunted houses. It would be perfect for a man cave or garage. Making EPS foam (expanded polystyrene) to look like brick or stone isn't really that difficult at all. I also show several different methods to get the faux brick or faux stone look. The key is to use a heatgun to melt the foam to give it a stone-like texture. If you want to learn more about making styrofoam look like brick check out the build article on my website. I will have additional pictures as well as links to all tools and materials you will need to get started.

It’s common practice to recycle paper, glass, and many plastics—in fact, about 35% of the trash produced in the U.S. is recycled or composted. So why can’t we recycle what’s commonly referred to as Styrofoam? (It’s actually expanded polystyrene, or EPS—a bit different!) In episode 19 of Speaking of Chemistry, host Sophia Cai explains that EPS actually can be recycled, but the prohibitive costs have prompted cities to ban the pesky product instead.
If this episode leaves you wanting to know more about recycling EPS, read the sources below.

Styrofoam
Don't ask me what your life is for
Look around and you'll hear it
What you so faithfully ignore
Look around and you'll fear it
Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler
But he cracks at extreme temperature
Styrofoam, so fake
Choking on the flavor of the day
Styrofoam amazed
Everything eventually decays
You can blame, then you believe
Look around and you'll hear them
It's only synchronicity
Look around and you'll fear it
Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler
But he cracks at extreme temperature
Styrofoam, so fake
Choking on the flavor of the day
Styrofoam, amazed
Everyone eventually decays
How long, well how long, my God
Would I be, could I know what I am?
My shame is to wallow within my own
I would break all my vows for a chance to stop it
Styrofoam, so fake
Choking on the flavor of the day
Styrofoam, amazed
Everyone eventually decays
Styrofoamin', styrofoamin'
(Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler)
Styrofoamin', yeah
(Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler)
