  • Frank Ippolito joins us at Adam's shop for another step-by-step tutorial in prop making. This time, we learn how to make a two-part silicone mold that we can use to cast resin copies of complex objects. We demonstrate the technique by duplicating a lightsaber prop made by Adam!

    I don't know why everybody thinks the Asian guy is stupid... He's clearly asking questions that he knows the answer to whenever he thinks there needs to be clarification so what they're doing can be more easily understood. It's for the viewers. It's a storytelling device.

      Oh my god, thank you! I thought it was so obvious too! Obviously Norm and the guy in the video do this professionally and if he wouldn't have asked questions the guy would have just build the lightsaber and the audience would have been clueless. Norm is a great host, I LOVE him. I especially love him with people other than Adam because he really clarifies things well. And he definitely doesn't come off as awkward.

      I didn't think the Asian fellow was stupid at all. He was helpful in getting the information to the viewers.
      IMHO they did a great job, and I learned something new today. Maybe some day I'll need to mold something (tool handle, etc) and I'll at least have some knowledge of how to make it happen.

    I don't get why people are annoyed with Norm. He is asking important questions so that the viewer can fully understand and then even replicate the process. He is not an idiot like so many people want to call him. To use an analogy, without Norm, this video would be like a guitar cover of a song. With Norm it's a step by step tutorial of how to play the song. The cover is for show, and the tutorial is for information.

    • @katumus
      @katumus 5 년 전 +38

      Because Norm is not asking, he is explaining things. He doesn't give the guest change to explain the thing but just say "Yeah" to agree what Norm explains.
      Then he is grabbing things out of the peoples hands to explain something again. Like look at the end when the mold is opened, he literally grabs it from the maker hands to start explaining things.
      There is big difference to ask questions, and hide your statements as questions.
      That is so annoying when a person who has more knowledge and more skills, is the B-cast position as one can't just STFU with his own statements and opinions and let the makers to answer for questions that are not hidden answers.
      Example Norm would say about the finishing edges:
      Q: "And now you want to remove these parts by sanding or filing...?"
      A: "Ehh... Yeah".
      What Norm should do is:
      Q: "What are the next steps on this after it is out of the mold?"
      A: "The mold leaves some edges that are removed with some sanding or filing..."
      Norm is like captain obvious, answering continually behalf of the skilled person interviewed. And that is very US way to do news etc that you build the traps to the interviewed person with your own claims. "Didn't you witness the horroneus things, as you said so?" and other can't really answer back as you are already locked to answer in specific way.

      Ellie Johnson he wasn't most annoying, but still annoying.
      The host shouldn't explain things, but ask questions. If something is obvious to host, then all questions that makes guest to tell it to the audience.
      Annoying hosts are that are explaining things behalf of guests or hostile toward guests by asking such questions that are implications (like "have you stopped beating your wife?" when nothing such has been happened).
      You can see similar with ie. BBC documents even today, where hosts are explaining things front of the expert of the subject.

    • @bobbybologna3029
      @bobbybologna3029 5 년 전 +9

      he has a few bad habits of interrupting the guest and talking just generally way too much, I mean i get what he's doing because he's trying to facilitate conversation as well as keep these guests or hosts on track and reminded that they are in fact on the camera because otherwise you get videos where you see Adam focusing REALLY HARD on something for 2 minutes straight without a single word and we all know how chatty adam is even on his own, even he needs to be reminded from time to time to actually explain what they're doing, in this video he does actually get the guy to speak up where he looks like he would've just stood there simply plying his craft lol
      Norm is sometimes annoying but at the same time i can very much appreciate his role.

    • @shortlong8936

      (Reposting my reply to the other comment that is the same as this one)
      Because of parts like 30:00 , mind you I don't hate him I just find him annoying and usually unnecessary to the point of a video.
      Both him and Will often jump the gun and have this "look what I did mom" approach where they hear only half of what a person says (typically in videos between Norm and Adam), interrupt and try to guess what the person is going to say based on some split second inferences like in the timestamp I just wrote.
      There is no problem with asking questions that viewers may have but lets not kid ourselves, that isn't the cause of the ire, when Norm asks someone a question they need to be able to fully articulate an answer before he goes and asks more questions or interrupts with his inferences and it is doubly annoying when those inferences are wrong because then he is actually muddying the line between truth and fiction in what is supposed to be an educational video.
      Hope that clears it up.

    My only major critique is with Norm; you tend to talk over your guests - if you are talking to an expert, let them explain their craft. You come across as a "know-it-all" and it's annoying. Even if you have to fake not having as a much knowledge in something, it allows your guest to feel special. There were moments when Frank had the face and verbal tone of "I've had enough of your s***!"

    • @CaptainMcSmoky
      @CaptainMcSmoky 9 년 전 +15

      Achromat I think that's mostly down to Frank being used to working at a much faster (and uninterrupted) pace, which is totally fair when working with materials that have a very small window of usability.
      robotscant I think the "semi planned improv" style works quite well though, some of the older Tested videos came across really disorganised and messy because they were totally improvised and none of the hosts had any experience talking to camera, and the scripted stuff Adam does on Mythbusters is really cringeworthy sometimes, I just think we need to give more time to perfect his craft...

I've never used resin before, cause I never thought it would be available or easy to use since I've tried making arts and crafts the harder way. After watching this video, the ideas and possibilities are pouring in so fast to the point where I'm getting a head ache. Now, it feels like that all things, art and crafts feels possible and endless.

    Please, for the love of all that is sacred, don't use crystal clear as a mold release. Just use a regular mold release. It'll save you so much time and headache.

      Mike Emeritz Why is that. Seems fine here.

    • @M_Emeritz
      @M_Emeritz 8 년 전 +40

      Crystal clear isn't designed with molding/casting in mind. It's an acrylic sealer which is a red flag itself. It's not intended to come off. Notice how he says, "just wipe it off with alcohol". Alcohol is abrasive and will take off not only the Crystal Clear, but most paints as well. A genuine mold releases can be wiped off with a damp cloth, or a little dish soap at most. CC is fine to if you have nothing else and no time, but it's the last thing I would have chosen to use on such a one-of-a-kind replica. I would be surprised if Adam's prop didn't need a new paintjob. **Source: I also fabricate props and do molding/casting as part of my day job.

      Mike Emeritz I was thinking that! He's literally re-varnishing a prop that somebody else made and painted. I'd be furious if somebody did that to a thing I'd made.

    This is a cool lesson. I remember doing stuff like that in shop class back in the 80's. We used sand molds and poured molten metal. We also learned about how jewelers would make a clay positive, put it into a sand mold, then the molten metal evacuates the wax so you didn't need to remove the positive. I believe that's considered a one-piece mold?

    After pouring the resin in the mold, you can put it on a vibrating table to force all the air bubbles to the opening. I use this method in my pours and get them to come out perfect.

      That is not the camera man... It's the guy to the right working with the cast/mold. It's also kind of obvious that it is... You see that mic just under his chin? It's very sensitive and you can even hear the clay he's working with while breathing that way. And on another note, the camera man does not have a mic attached to him, only true two guys you see do.
      I guess I can see how you would think that it would be the camera guy; most people use their camera's built in mic, but I assure you this isn't the case here.

    Nice video, I've never done anything like this, my experience is with sand molds and aluminium castings which were done under vacuum.
    I would assume that it's also possible to put the mold into the vacuum chamber to extract the air after pouring. Although it may deform the silicone?
    A better solution may be to put the whole thing on a vibrating bed, I reckon that would get the air out pretty efficiently.
