    Hey Ash Love to see you using a scroll saw and band saw with different types of thickness of foam…. And what you may create. Fellow creative from Australia Amanda 🙂

    Love your videos always, guys. Educational and entertaining. I learned how to cut from Evil Ted and continued on from there. And yes, my first few pieces were horrifying. You covered the basics well and then some. I just absolutely dig the organized chaos. And I too digest quite often. Thank you for what you do!

    Hi Ashen! I am actually making the ncr ranger armor you made with all your instruction, materials and templates! Was wondering if you could make a Nylon strap tutorial towards it though? Anything is appreciated

    This was a great intro to cutting foam. I I have that style of sword knives for all the details and have mostly switched over to my scroll and little band saw for most of the bigger parts

    Just discovered your channel/videos as I want to dig into my foam dreams. One thing I'm trying to figure out is best way to make edges like in your fallout new vegas ranger armor video, the angles of the chest piece armor. If I remember I saw a dremel but blick has a bevel cutter? Some of those simple things might be hidden in your other videos but 100% I feel that's a basic I feel makes sense in practice but ways to do it escape me. TLDR: Best way to beautify edges/corners because do I cut it? Do I dremel it? What if I can't find a dremel? Just confusing lol Thanks again for the awesome videos

    If no dremel apply L’Oréal beauty cream! JK if no sanding tools on hand just practice cleaner cuts!

    Great video! Could one use normal sanding paper to the same effect of a dremel, and could you melt off the inevitable fuzzy bits with a heatgun?

    It would take time but if you cut the edges down then did that I could see it maybe working
