It's so nice that the corgis let you use some of their space for your hobbies.

I was really struggling cutting a circle out of 10mm foam the other day. Hearing it’s challenging for you too gave me more confidence. I’ve got to get me a knife sharpener and thank goodness for dremels with a flex shaft, lol. Love your books, patterns, and tutorials! Thank you!💖

THIS was the single most USEFULL video I have EVER seen. SO informative! It explained PERFECTLY how to do everything perfectly! AMAZING! good job!

I'm just getting started making cosplay pieces and have been getting set up with materials and tools. This channel has been incredibly informative, inspiring and positive. I can't wait to get building.

Benni's cameo is definitely the highlight of this video 😂😂. Another great video. 🔥

Thank you for leaving in the "not so pretty" parts! It's great to see how things can still turn out alright even if they don't go according to plan.
-
Just as I started to work on my first foampiece. I already cut the pieces but had trouble doing. So maybe I will start over after watching this video
-
Always a delight to see a new video from you two crazy kids!
-
Mandalorian Armorer is my next build! You guys have inspired me to work with different materials!!! Thanks for covering more of the basics for us newbies!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
-
This was super helpful! Could you do a video explaining different types of EVA foam? What high vs. low density, what types are used for what things (like if one type is better for props or one type is better for armor), how to choose what to use... there's so much, I don't know where to start! Thanks!! <3

Back to basics. We all need to be reminded. Especially in your special way. Thank you, Miss Svetlana!

My 6 year old loves to watch you and Bill. She is itching to be able to use more than scissors. The dress was the first thing I noticed. Great idea, must have been the Corgis idea.
-
I love how you're so genuine and helpful, thank you Kamui Cosplay and the corgi support too
-
This came at the best time! I'm about to start my journey with Eva Foam (It was quite hard to get it since I live in a very tiny town), so this is great! Thank you so much you both, all your tutorials are always easy to understand (and very fun to watch!).

Maybe a video comparing all different foams? 🥸🥸 thank you for all the great wisdom!!
