another requested prop it's Millner from thor ragnarok well ok maybe i'll make
the one from dark world instead so to make the head of the hammer I'm going to
use a pair of foam yoga blocks and to make the handle I'm gonna leather wrap a
wooden dowel and I'm gonna start with a leather because I've got raw leather and
I'm gonna need the diet and that's gonna take a long time to dry I roll some
leather onto a wooden dowel to see how much I need to cut a piece big enough to
wrap around the handle and make the strap that hangs off the end I dyed the
leather with a water-based leather dye the water-based is nice because it has
no fumes and I could point a fan at it to help speed up the dry time and I plan
to do two coats of dye and a top coat of sealer to make the head of the hammer I
bought a pair of yoga blocks from Amazon now these are solid
evie a foam and they are three inch by six inch by nine inch so together
they're just a little bit bigger than the head of the hammer I paint on two
coats of contact cement on one side of each block I also allow the first coats
dry before I add the second and I wipe off all the big blocks of glue for a
better fit once the contact cement is mostly dry they carefully stick the
blocks together align as best I could cuz the blocks are not
perfect shapes to begin with and the contexts admit sticks together the first
time it touches I give the blocks an hour or so to try even more then using
my bandsaw I cut the sides of the yoga blocks off
to line up the edges of the pair and make them even and then I trimmed the
sides down so I can make the front all square again I plan to cover all the
faces with craft foam to hide the seams and to add some panel wine decorations
the face of the hammer is a four and a half inch square so first I mark that
with a sharpie and then I tilt the miter guide of the bandsaw to sixty degrees
and I cut the bevel on each side of the hammer and then I can adjust the table
to solid of 45 degrees reset the miter guide and cut the bevels on the sides
there's an additional compound bevel on each face in the corners which I can cut
with the table tilted at 45 degrees and the miter guide set at 60 degrees now if
I didn't have a band stop I could mark the foam and just sand off all the
bevels that I want on a belt sander but I'll get sharper corners and I'll make a
lot less mess by cutting the foam on a bandsaw so it's a pretty intricate trim
that goes around the face on each side of milner I've got a template that I've
made and you can see that it's really very ornate and to cut this out of foam
is gonna be nearly impossible now I could use like a Cricut cutter or some
other cardboard cutter if I had one I've got a friend that's got a laser cutter
and I can actually engrave the foam we've tried this it does work but I'm
sure all of you would say I was cheating because I'm using a laser cutter who has
a $5,000 laser cutter machine I actually don't I just haven't have
access to one so what I thought about doing instead was using bits of a
leather belt now looked at the goodwill and I found a belt that's kind of okay
we've pattern I mean this isn't perfect but instead of trying to cut something
out or trying to cast something or makes this is gonna be the quickest and
easiest way to do it I can cut out my pieces I can make an incision down the
middle and maybe just flop them around so the decoration is closer together and
then I can put a trim piece over the top of it and it should look fine
enough pieces the belt to cover all eight sides and I use context of it to
glue the one I want to cover the rest of the hammer with three millimeter craft
foam not only to hide the seams of the two yoga blocks but to raise all of the
sides to be equal the leather belt pieces there's a recessed area around
the handle so I marked the foam where I want that to go and I put an X where I'm
going to drill a hole for the handle I cut two smaller pieces of craft foam for
the bottom and cut the panel lines that run along the bottom edge of each side
of the hammer the channel I cut out is about as wide as the foam is deep then I
can turn it over apply glue and attach the other side and the top piece I cut
out strips to fill in each of the beveled edges now there's a notch cut in
the bottom bevels and that continues the details from the very bottom of the
hammer I cut two squares for each face of the hammer and then cut out triangles
for that compound bevel on the faces now I want to use one millimeter craft foam
to frame in the leather belt but first I need to fill in the gaps between the
belt pieces and the three millimeter craft foam this way that really thin
foam will not sink into the bigger gaps and look uneven and I don't have black
one millimeter craft foam so I'm just gonna use green foam I'm gonna paint it
anyway and the color difference helps to see what's going on I need to trim the
leather laces off the belt so the green foam can lay flat and then I can glue on
all the green panels once the cement is set up I use a dremel to grind down the
green foam and make it even with a three millimeter black foam edges this way
once it's painted it'll look like it's all one piece I need a hole to glue in
the wooden dowel for the handle and I know Forstner bits can cut through evie
a foam and a Forstner bit will leave a flat bottom the hole that it makes but
first I want to test the size on a piece of scrap to make sure that the wooden
dowel will fit and I'll have enough room for glue because I only have one
hammerhead and I wanted to work the first time I drilled down as deep as I
can to the Forstner bit clearing the phone scraps as I go because I don't
want the fit to find up and tear a bigger hole inside the hammer
the hammer is about 17 inches long overall so I mark off the area where I
need to wrap the leather and where to cut off the dowel there is a raised disc
that goes on top of the hammer which has runes on it and I'm going to use a piece
of EBA foam by cut from the blocks and this one is about seven millimeters
thick I poke a hole in some scrap paper mark off an inch and a half and I make a
compass to draw a three inch circle on a piece of paper with this template I can
trace it on the foam and cut it out then I want to make a smaller circle so I
mark back about 3/16 of an inch make a new pattern and then trace it again this
dark area is where I want the runes to go and it'll help me to keep them even
around the edge and I just use an exacto knife with a new blade to lightly cut in
each route now runes are made with just straight
lines so this is actually pretty easy to do and my spacing is a little off so I
can't fit a couple of the words and I could start over again but honestly this
will look just fine now I didn't want to use my paper
compass directly on the foam because it would poke a little hole in the center
and my plan is these the heat gun to shrink the foam and open all the roads
up and a pinhole the Center would then just open up to then just glue the disk
to the top all righty I can seal this with black plastidip and
start putting the handle together I had used some saddle soap on the leather to
soften it up a little and unroll it around to shape it into a curve I could
have stripped 3/4 of an inch wide off of one end for the strap and then another
strip off of the short end that I'll use to trim the top where the handle meets
the Hammerhead I need the leather once more and use contact cement to glue the
leather to the wooden dowel now the leather is a little bit longer than I
need it so I trim it down to fit and mash it flat for the back of my razor
knife my seam is a little rough so rub some white glue into it to fill it up
and help seal it I die the backside and the edges of the strap brown and what
will be the exposed edge of the trim piece at the top and I set these aside
to the fan blowing on it's a little dry there's a raised silver trim that runs
down the handle and in some movies it's a spiral and in others it's concentric
rings now I like the look of the Rings so I cut a series of five millimeter
strips of leather to wrap around the handle and I paint
each of them with a silver paint made for leather I had tried craft paint and
I tried spray paint too but the craft paint cracked when it was bent and the
spray paint rubbed off pretty easily I made a PVC pipe guide to help align
the strips of leather and keep the Chevron's lined up I had cut the pipe
and then used a Forstner bit to widen the inside diameter so it would fit over
the leather I made a mark on the pipe that lines up with the seam on the
leather and I tape it in place when I want to super glue each silver ring to
the handle then I tape the scenes of each ring shot while the superglue sets
up because there's a protective topcoat I scratched off the top of the leather
handle so contact cement can grip better when I applied the top trim and then I
add one last ring right at the top there's a pommel where the strap
attaches and to help shape it I sand down the bottom of the handle into kind
of a coat then I heat up some four millimeter styrene plastic with my heat
gun until it's very soft and I place it over a three inch PVC pipe fitting and
then press the handle into the plastic this stretches the plastic to fit and
makes a quick pommel piece with the plastic cools I can just use my Dremel
to cut out the part that I want and sand the edges down
I want the strap to come through the pommel and not just out from under it so
I carefully cut out slots on each side that the leather strap can fit through I
went slow and carefully with this step because of our lost control the Dremel
now I would need to start all over and make a new pommel again I use the
bandsaw to cut a channel on the wood for the leather to fit into and I've drilled
some pilot holes so I can screw the leather straps directly to the wooden
handle i spray-painted the pommel silver and now I can slip it over to the strap
screw the strap in place fit the pommel and super glue it to the leather I'm
almost done one more detail I want to add right here and I found it at the
leather store it's a con show in fact what it is it's a me older concho I drew
a little hole at the back of the console will fit into and I see how well it fits
the curve now the conchos of metal so I can bend them a little to fit the pommel
better I placed a piece of styrene plastic over the top of the concho so
the plier not Martha raise not work on the little
the owner of course Subic we will hold them to place now if they handle done
and the head spray-painted silver I can start weathering it I have been told
that shoe polish works well for weathering but I've never tried it so
why not give it a shot now basically you work in small areas applying lots of
polish where you want to darken the corners and then rub off all the high
spots if you work quickly you can erase anything that's ugly with water and just
try again to make some parts a little darker I can add a second coat it works
really well with a spray paint and of course it works in the leather to the
polish dries pretty quickly and it mix up some five-minute epoxy glue the
handle into the Hammerhead most of the materials I use to make this project
were picked up locally I put a part list in the description forged in the heart
of the star a couple of blocks of yoga foam and a stick this is how Odin makes
I now have a patreon page which will give you the chance to win props that
are made right here at Odin makes and it's the only place where I'll talk
about my upcoming builds if you liked the video or have other ideas or
something for me to make please leave them in the comments below and if you
make any of these projects you can send me a picture
