Got in a cheeky extra prop outing just before the year is up with some foam antique hockey sticks used as a murder weapon for Murder is Easy. Broadcast last week on the BBC. Always a pleasure seeing something you’ve made make it to the big/small screen. Another blink and you’ll miss it moment but it’s there. Scroll to see the actual props with the original hockey stick at the bottom, then a screenshot of the action. Don’t worry, creatively cropped so no spoilers of whodunnit!

Anyone hungry? Last Buccaneers prop for me was a couple of delicious fake steaks. The character had had a bit of fisty cuffs and needed a traditional remedy to soothe his battered face. They needed a thick slab of meat but not real so I moulded a real hunk of meat and cast it in Platsil Gel silicone with deadener to give it that squish factor. Though admittedly you don’t see that so much in the scene. Have only moulded a few organic materials so this was another interesting one. Added a soupçon of theatrical blood and Bob’s yer uncle.

December 14, 2023 at 02:08PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/C01hQ_gNPLh/ Buccaneers episodes are all out and I’ve now managed to see the other props I made for this series now. For this wood chopping scene, I was asked to make 10 x foam axes from 2 marginally different hero axes. Very challenging casting foam in long thin moulds, so many defects can happen due to compression, air flow and chemical reactions but they came out all right in the end. . #propmaking #tvprops #axes #fakeaxes #actionprops #foamcasting #foamprops #moulding #casting #buccaneers #appletv
December 13, 2023 at 04:29PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/C0zMrDzt8Hz/ Time to say “Oooh” and “Aaah”! This here is The Buccaneers that is currently showing on Apple TV. It’s apparently the new Bridgerton so gets your frocks on ladies and gents. I did a couple of soft prop makes for the show last year but was also part of the merry band who strung thousands of beads on to all those chandeliers you see here. It took 4 people about 5 days to do it and a gallon of super glue. Remarkably I retained my fingers tips when we finished. It was epic and a great laugh with Maura (repost photos courtesy of 👍), Andrea and Dougie serving the best blethers.
I haven’t seen the show yet but it does look lush. . #thebuccaneers #appletv#perioddrama #debutante#propmaking #making #chandeliers#beads #allthebeads@mau_kahindra@redfoxprops Posted @withregram • @mau_kahindra << Chandeliers >> Oh what a joy to see the Cloisters decorated with all the sparkly chandeliers that we made with @redfoxprops and @pigsticksprops ~ Oh yeah all the beads are attached by hand!! You can see them shine on Buccaneers, an exclusive Apple TV show ~ It has so far the richest and most glamorous sets I've ever seen (and worked on), bathe your eyes in beautiful locations and delicious props! ✨ #buccaneers #appletv#historicaldrama #propmaking#jewels #handmade #glamour Wicked now has a buddy. Meet Psychlone, he sucks so good! I should have got this little guy ages ago. Used the bucket from my defunct Scheppach vacuum and no can happily hoover away with lots of space for saw dust and Wicked doesn’t clogged one bit. Happy vac!
#workshoplife #making #cyclone #vacuum #sucks November 21, 2023 at 11:39AM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/Cz6B9vOq-_-/ I made a thing! A Before and After for you. From rod and tube chaos to organised heaven. Just look at all those compartments. A thing of beauty. On to the next stage in the ongoing Operation Workshop Reorganise…
On another note, Instagram has suddenly stopped me from adding stickers to photos - anyone else come across this? Have reinstalled and everything. Love a cute sticker! . #propmaker #makingthings#reorganisation #organisationheaven#compartments #cubby Innovative genius idea #564 - I’ve had a few years now of struggling to turn the crappy, too small, round tension knob on my trusty wee Parkside bandsaw and so finally today, I have decided to adapt it for the sake of my poor aging hands.
So I drilled a hole through the middle of the knob and slammed a bit of steel rod through it. Ouch!😂 Don’t know how long it will last but boy does it help! Should have done it ages ago. Seriously, why are all the knobs so small and uncomfortable? Asking for a friend… . #bandsaw #parkside #adaptingtools #innovation #doubleentendre #puns#ooermissus#ididntsayityouthoughtit#iamagenius #sorehandsbegone Sticky wax complete. Now to prepare the mould box…
#propmaking #props #moulding #casting #stickywax October 09, 2023 at 11:14AM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CyLKFecqDbD/ Whilst still waiting for a materials delivery that should have arrived last Friday…decided to get my cauldron on since it’s the season. Making some sticky wax for sticking masters to bases for mould making. Got the beeswax and rosin over a year ago and finally getting round to it now. Mostly because I had trouble with a floating banana last week.😳🤯😱🍌
In the fridge now, hopefully it works. Got the idea and recipe from YouTubers @RobertTolone and @RichardThompsonCA. Thanks! #propmaking #props #mouldmaking#stickywax #roberttolone #richardthompsonca #cauldron #tistheseasonofthewitch #beeswax #rosin Going for gold today!
