Watching this gauntlet come together is amazing since all the intricate little pieces that have to come together are time-consuming and very necessary in order to make it look right. Acquiring as many tools, and the types of tools, that Adam has would take time and money, but if you’re truly dedicated as he is when it comes to building then it’s entirely worth it. Those that love to build and engineer things like this would be best served by slowly acquiring the tools they need, as they need them, in order to make the process of building that much easier.
Looking at all the tools he has to make the process a bit easier however is just mind-boggling, as it means that he’s been at this for a while. The excitement that Adam shows in each project is kind of infectious but upon seeing how much work this is some people would no doubt be a little put off since it is REALLY a lot of work. Think about a rigid glove going over your hand, you wouldn’t be able to grip, rotate, or even straighten your fingers all that much without the necessary components being present. With metal it’s increasingly difficult simply because there are a lot more pieces that need to be put together in order to accommodate every little movement. If there isn’t enough pliability in the glove then the hand won’t be able to move right. Looking at the construction of the gauntlet you don’t really think about what goes into the overall construction until you get to look at it closely and understand just how it has to move in accordance with the hand that it will be encasing. Witnessing Adam in his shop is always fun, but making this thing out of foam seems like a challenge that he’d like to meet. For cosplay it might be subject to various rules of different conventions but overall it’s just amazing. Watching this Ringwraith gauntlet being built from the Lord of the Rings design is pretty awesome.
