Bill, I hope you see this as I owe you a Thank You. I collect replica props from various sci-fi shows and was recently re-watching Stargate: Atlantis and noticed the characters doing martial arts practice with "Bantos Rods" and thought I'd like to acquire a pair. After some internet searching I found nothing for sale. Oh well, no big deal.... Then I realized, "Hey, I can MAKE them. Bill showed me the process". I took some screenshots from the series, found pics of the real props (the site also mentioned the rods length and other general info not see in pics), wooden dowels I already had, paint I already had, bought some foam and glue. A week later, I had 2 very accurate Bantos Rods for maybe $20 in materials. Thanks to the info your videos.

this should be a new series for PPA, "finishing up projects, every friday at PPA"

About 17 years for my longest project. Was into anime garage kits back in the late 90s when I was in high school. Last kit I had was of Major Kusanagi from Ghost In The Shell. Had some issue with the primer I was using really not liking the resin she was cast with. Wasn't able to figure out a solution before I graduated HS and left for college. Rediscovered her in a box in my mom's garage when I was home for Thanksgiving about three years ago, decided to finally get her painted. Been back into hobby painting since.

"Sanding Increased to 97" Dead! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've got some projects that I've been toying with for maybe 2-3 years - But I pick them up every few months so they're never really abandoned for any length of time

Not a prop but I've been rebuilding my 66 mustang for 15 years lol. I've owned it since '98. Love your work, I'm doing a Zelda master sword and your vids helped a ton!

I have a "Mopkin" puppet that I've had since I was about 12 and I'm 38 now. I'd been intending to work on it since I got it, 26 years now, and I just now got around to disassembling and upgrading it. I cut off the head to add a neck with a different material, removed the arms and legs and re-stuffed them. Stuffed the body that was just an open sleeve, reattached the arms and legs now with hanger wire for "bones," so I could add joints, changed the shape of the hands and feet and put magnets in the feet. Also added a sleeve that goes in the back through the neck into the head. The only thing machine sewn is the shape of the sleeve, everything else is hand sewn. Right now I'm working on the eyes and adding upper eyelids. When it's done it will keep my nieces and nephew entertained, at least until they're older.

I actually have one of these kits that I bought from you in 2012 (according to the emails I saved), and I painted it up back then. I wish I had thought of using 5-min epoxy on the pommel since whatever my past newbie self tried did not have a nice, glassy finish like I wanted. Nothing says I can't do it now though!
