Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Bill and Britt are huge fans of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. On their quest to build everything from EVA foam they teamed up to create a LotR dwarf style helmet from just a few sheets of EVA foam. Follow along as they use simple tools and materials to transform this humble material into an epic, wearable piece of art.

It's always so cool when that first layer of primer, plasti-dip, paint, etc goes on a project. It instantly transforms a project that looks like nothing but a bunch of material with visible seams and noticeable defects into a smooth surface that's just screams perfection. Great job Bill.

Very inspiring project has encouraged me to try a dwarven helmet.
I just finished making my foam head a few minutes ago! It was a little harder than I expected but turned out great!!
Another way of doing the recessed parts is cutting all the was through, then gluing it back together. Then after you glue the parts back together you can run a knife along the backside to even it out. This also preserves the "finish" of the foam when you use something like foam fitness tiles. I'm not 100% sure who I saw doing that. Might have been you or Ted? But I found it to be a bit more forgiving.

6:15...I just wanna do the Charleston now😁
How about pushing a few pieces of long iron binding wire into the foam from the edge, parallel to the plane of the foam, then gluing the ends so they stay in place. This would (I think) create a stiffener that would make the cheek pieces hold their shape really well? You could also make a jig that would push the wires in - nice and parallel to the flat surfaces of the foam. Also sharpen the end of the wire first - before pushing into place.
