Steve: Hey. What is up everybody? You are watching Weekend Extra, and I am your host Steve Nelson. Now the other week, we can only select one video for the viewer take over on BFX. But, we got so many great submissions. So what we are going to do today on Weekend Extra is highlight one of those great videos, which is Ted Carters’ episode on cartoon weapons. So, check it out right about now.
Teddy: Hey internets! I am Teddy Carter and this is BFX. Today I am going to teach you at least with some cartoon bat, with cartoon weapons.

I want to make us some hand. Today, I am going to build some dynamite, a bulb bomb, and a big hammer. But first, let us have our brother to Gary to figure out our budget.

Because I am going to use to build the weapons. Some of this stuff you should already have around your house and you should already have the tools. A card board box, some tan, red, black spray paint, so, it is just now on screen. A glue gun and glue sticks, a PVC cup, a dark colored cheap ball, some rubbing paper tubes, a serrated kitchen knife and scissors, and a drill with a quarter inch drill bit.
So take your blue ball and give it a nice coat of spray paint. You want to make sure that you cannot see any of the texture. Now, spray paint you are—when you are out to do tubes red and it got a really good coverage there. Once that is done, take your cup and spray paint that one. Flip them over and give it another coat. Do not give the cup another coat because it will take forever dry. Now remove those and give the red tube another coat. It takes a lot of paint to get a good coverage. Get your other two box and give it a color of tan. This is going to be the handle for your hammer. Take your card board box and tear them into small sizes. On the side that do not have any writing, give it a cover, red spray-paint and let it dry. Then go inside and drill a quarter and 12th through your cup.
Now feed some strings through that hole, plug in your glue gun and put some glue around the hole and press the string down on it. Then, get some scissors out, cut it and put some glue on the tip of the strings so it does not fray. Wait a couple of seconds and smooth that out. Then, put it in your ball on the spot that has the most blue and just half screw it off. But a decent hack on but not so much that you could see it really usually. Now, hold it for a second and let it dry. Now, take your red tube and your piece of red board and draw out six circles on the side of the board that you did not paint and then cut it out.

So then get a take a tape measure and measure out ten inch entry per minutes on the tube. And then cut them out with scissors make pretty straight cuts. Take three cups and put hot glue on it. Put one of them to plow them of each of them. Now, take each cup and drill a hole through it, not actually drill one but, kind of push it through. Now, get some scissors and make it a better hole. Fix this script and we will do the same process we did in the ball grenade. Put hot glue around that and glue it on the tip. Two repeat, now outside and paint your box again, paint the entire box everything except for the inside. This is going to be the mallet for the hammer. Go inside with your serrated kitchen knife, chop off the sides like a so.

Now, with your big piece, cut it in the middle and cut it down the sides. Now, you are going to want to kind of reinforce the fold. So, bring it over a little bit and hot glue it down. Get some light packing tape and tape it around. So then, once that is done, you are going to want to start on rolling it but guard pent the card board in very small increment otherwise, it will looks squarish or uneven. You are going to make the sides you want and just push and apply pressure like here. Once that is done, cut off the excess and do the same gluing process like you did before.
Draw circle in the card board mimicking the tube and cut it out with a little extra gap on the edges. Repeat this for the other side except make it obviously trace it to create circle. Put it on the top and put a lot of hot glue on it. This is going to make it so it is secure. Trim off any extra cardboard that is hanging off. But, leave a little gap. Now cut a hole for the handle to go with. Do you want to make it a little tight. Stick the handle and all the way and put some hot glue around it. Fix any or reinforce anything that you think is loose with more hot glue and give it another coat of paint if you want to. That is what I did and you are done. There is your boomer.
As it should know. These things were not actually blow off. So, you have to use a movie magic and make it blow up. And now, enjoy the test film.

When using spray paint wash your hands a lot. Your props, thank you.
