While we were in Atlanta for Dragon*Con, we stopped by the workshop of Harrison Krix, who makes replica props as Volpin Props. Harrison shares the story of how he got started prop making and what tools he uses to fabricate his amazing projects.

  2. I have got to get my vac-former switched over from a shop vac to a vacuum tank set up. Those pulls look so nice!

  3. Really excellent workshop tour. This could be an awesome semi-regular feature of the site. How do different types of makers set up their spaces, and what tools do they use? Thanks.

  4. That’s quite the wall of poisonous chemicals you have there, Harrison. D:

    Some of Krylon’s concoctions in particular, you take a look at the ingredient list and wonder how such things could possibly be available for anyone to buy off the shelf without a permit or at least ID or something.
