Home made Freddy Glove

Post by PHXLavaVibe »

With Halloween quickly approaching I decided to try my hand at making a Freddy glove. I used 26gauge Steel for the blades and fingers. I cut everything out of sheet metal and formed it by hand. I added a bit of my special effects makeup to the glove to give it a slightly used look. Sadly...the blades are not sharpened...This is purely for costume!!! I must say, seeing how I am a huge Freddy fan, I feel very accomplished to have finally built a glove of my own. Even though it is quite harmless...you feel an overwhelming sense of power when you put it on. I guess it's kinda like holding a very big gun.Let me know what you think.

I am very picky when it comes to buying character masks so I might end up doing my own. It's been a few years since I have dabbled in special effects makeup so I am interested to see what I can do.

As a person who does his fair share of sheet metal work (plenums, adapters, filter racks, etc.) I admire the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into this Awesome work. When you get more done please share with your fellow Vibers

When you get more done please share with your fellow Vibers Thanks tpollauf!!! That's a great compliment...especially since this was my first ever attempt at sheet metal work. It didn't turn out quite the way I planned it though.Originally I was going to solder the blades to the finger joints as it is in the movies but I couldn't get the joints to hold. Again it was my first time ever dealing with a torch and solder. I bought a torch kit from Lowes that came with solder and flux. Besides being terrified that the bottle would explode or I would burn myself and not need a Freddy mask, I thought I did a pretty good job at following directions. I can only assume that I was not using the right type of solder to join steel together. I know nothing about this kind of stuff and just used what was in the kit.After several attempts I decided to modify my original design and just rivet the blades on...much less terrifying!

First of all, great work. Very ingeneous.Second, maybe I'm being overly-cautious, but if you plan on using this in public,I recommend putting some clear silicone over the tips to prevent accidental "Freddy-ness", IYKWIM.Third, I happen to know someone who worked on the recent remake on NoES and am going to send him a link to this thread. I think he'll dig it.
