Small woodworking note! The wood glue is actually gonna be a hella strong bond, stronger than the screw. The bracketing will likely help for reinforcement so that the any bending stress doesn't make the wood snap, but the screws in the joints are totally not needed. (If you've ever had a wood-glued joint fail, it's never the glue that fails, something normally splitters and breaks instead.)

@@SarahSpaceman No problem! Just make sure the glue has had the full 24-48 hours to dry before you stress the bond any (check the bottle for the specifics, some glues have different drying times,) and that you clamp it best you can the first few hours that it's drying. You could even use the screw to function as your clamp, then replace it with a wood dowel after. Saves you a little weight and you can sand if flush if you need to.

I must be unlucky 😂 I've had wood glue fail me once but the glue was put on 10+ years before the break happened. Tho I will say I glued it back on with a screw and it hasn't moved since

@@sploompdoomper 10+ years is stretching it! It will degrade over time. I've done work with vintage furniture and the glue on those often needs to be sanded down and redone if there's been any sort of break. (also notice where the break happened, most of the times, I find the glue firmly attached to one side of the wood, with shreds of the other side still attached, which makes cleaning it off to redo the joint such a PIA....) I think it's safe to say any joinery done for cosplay will have other issues to worry about 10 years on more than the glue :) Entropy is not kind to wearables and lugables.

As a kind of brand new cosplayer, I can't thank you enough for keeping the "it didn't work part" in! It's very frustrating thinking that I'm probably "not really good at that thing finally" when it's actually difficult for everyone. So thanks again, it was very inspiring! (Currently working on 3 cosplays that are almost finish *very hyped*; Houzukigami and Fuzukigami from Natsume Yuujinchou and Fearne Calloway from Critical Role - its tough, but hey, it's still very fun :))

Sarah, something you said that really helped me get the confidence I needed to finally wear my cosplay in public spaces and it’s “make cosplay to fit your body, don’t make your body fit cosplay” as a person who has always been a bit bigger size it’s given me the confidence I need to finish and finally wear my dark elemental lux cosplay

34:35 I nearly cried at this moment honestly, what an amazing feat this cosplay was. All of your hard work shines through, and as I've just only dipped my toes into more complex wig styling it was so encouraging to see what did and did not work and the journey it took to get to the final glorious reveal. Seriously, kudos to you, you are such an inspiration!!

My jaw is on the floor. I admire your dedication and resilience to this cosplay. I can't imagine how much of a nightmare this was in real time, but it really paid off. This immediately became one of my favorite cosplays I've seen.

AM SO PROUD OF YOU! not only for creating the cosplay but for filming and uploading your progress! What a dream come true!

I don't cosplay, can't sew, but I do wear wigs. So I guess that was why this was shown to me and for once thank goodness for the algorithm because this type of content is gold, new subscriber and I can't wait to see the rest of what you make!

I’m not a cosplayer or in the community and holy BALLS this is ridiculously impressive, what an introduction into this community. You, my friend, have set the bar sky high

You doing tedious art stuff where you do the same thing over and over again, is keeping me company as I do tedious art stuff where I do the same thing over and over again. It's good fun and feels a bit like a stitch group. I'm crocheting lace and coveting the gorgeous ribbon lace you have as I binge this series.

Gotta say, I struggled on handmade cosplays before and seeing the incredible work that you did while aslo showing us that you had it hard as well, not everything flowed as it should've, gave me hope that even if I struggle, I can pull through too. And I cried at the end reveal, you looked so proud and happy!

My how literal question was when I cosplayed the Predator. I wanted to do a similar thing I saw in the AvP film when one turns his back and the dreads just swish so perfectly I wanted it. All tutorials I could find would allow that so I came up with my own idea, I braided rope. It weights way more and took so long, but I absolutely love it, worth it for me

This channel is criminally underrated
