- Okay, so I have finished the helmet and it looks epic.
I cannot wait to be Ant-Man Halloween.
I'm really excited.
(upbeat piano music)
(upbeat guitar music)
- Good morning everyone.
- [Duncan] Good morning everyone!
- Oh my goodness. Duncan with a good morning everyone.
- Good morning everyone.
- [Chris] What are we doing today?
- Science!
- [Chris] We are doing some science.
We're doing a little bit of a science experiment
for part of our homeschool today
and then we're gonna work on our Halloween costumes.
It's gonna be a great day.
I'm glad that you're here with us.
Hi. Welcome to Under the Table.
We've hung a magnet here
and we have a second magnet right here.
We wound up the string on this magnet
but not on this magnet.
Ready, set, go.
(magnets click together)
- [Chris] Oh, no, they're too close.
I'm gonna give this one just a little nudge.
Whoa. Oh, hey. Hey Stitch.
We're doing an experiment over here.
Okay. We're gonna have to... Rue, Rue, Rue
Rue. We're doing an experiment Rue
- [Parker] Set. Go.
- [Chris] Oh my goodness.
Look at this one.
We didn't spin that one.
We spun that one.
- [Parker] I think this one's unwinding.
And this one's winding.
- [Chris] Yep. Wow.
What do you think, Duncan?
Whoa. Did you see that?
Did you see that?
- [Parker] They flipped directions?
- [Chris] Yeah. This one switched directions
and then this one followed it
and switched the other direction.
And now this one's pushing this one.
You seeing this science too Luke?
- Yeah.
Down.
- [Chris] That one slowed down.
- [Parker] Science!
- [Chris] Science?
- [Duncan] Science!
- [Chris] Rue? Science?
All right, we are all done with the
homeschool portion of our day.
We did our experiments.
That was a lot of fun.
And now we're outside
cuz we're gonna start doing some craft work.
My costume needs some work done.
Jacob's costume needs some work done.
And Parker's costume apparently needs some work done.
Parker, what are you gonna be this year?
- I'm gonna be Spider-Man.
- Spider-Man. And we got him a costume
but he's having a hard time with the mask of the costume
because the way it's built,
this eye part rubs against his eyelashes
and makes it difficult...
- Hard to open it and close it.
- So he is just in there going, eh, and can't see.
So we're going to try and put some foam bumpers
around this part of the eye.
My plan for this Halloween is to be Mugatu,
Will Ferrell's character from Zoolander.
And the reason I wanted to do that is because of Rue
He has this little tiny poodle-ish white dog
and Rue's this giant dog.
And I thought we could do a joint costume together,
me and Rue
But unfortunately all of the Mugatu costumes
that I could find weren't due to get delivered to me
until November.
I'm gonna build one and
I actually like building my costumes better.
One of my favorite costumes that I ever did
was Willie Wonka.
I did the cowbell sketch guy last year.
That was, there's, I don't think that exists as a costume
but I built the costume.
When I was Robin Hood from the animated Robin Hood.
That was all kind of like mixing things together.
So I like doing this.
I'm kind of like Jacob in that way.
Jacob likes building his own costume
and Jacob's building his costume.
He is going to be...
- Ant-Man
- Ant-Man.
Do you wanna show the helmet that you've...
- Yeah, sure.
- That you've been working on?
This is wild.
- [Jacob] Here it is.
- So Jacob built this by himself.
I like, last year he did the Ironman thing.
I was kind of overseeing him.
I didn't see this until it was done.
He built this thing. This is so cool.
For my costume, I am going to use this gray sweater.
Or gray sweatshirt, jumper.
I don't know what...
People call it different things in different places.
And I have these bell bottom pants.
And I got, this is a weightlifting belt.
Plus, I get to dye my hair white,
style it very uniquely,
and get a little goatee beard.
So I'm not growing that out.
I did grow out facial hair for one of my costumes one year.
I was Walt Disney.
Not doing that this year.
- [Parker] No never.
- He's just adding a fake thing.
- I'm putting a fake thing on there.
- A fake thing.
- Disrespect.
- I couldn't do it.
I'd have to grow it out to like this long and curl it.
This is gonna be fun. Let's do it.
One thing Jacob needed for his costume was like tubing
that, uh, Ant-Man has this like tubing going through
his armor or whatever, his suit.
I found this baby bumper material.
There's two tubes next to each other on, on the suit.
So he can cut out a strip of two tubes
and just have those going around on his, on his suit.
But I think if I just take one strip of this
I'll be able to put that
around Parker's eyes in his costume
so that the thing won't rub against his eyeballs.
You don't want things rubbing against your eyeballs.
It's not worth it.
(upbeat music)
- I'm using this hot glue gun to get like a welding effect.
So like around places...
I'm just adding some detail using the hot glue gun
and just making it look like the metal is melted together.
(upbeat music)
- All right, so a little bit of a project overview.
I have a couple pieces here that I've cut out
for my like main body.
So there, it's like this.
And I have these pieces that are going down here.
And then I have these pieces which are going in between.
It's very hard to show you
but I will be gluing it right now.
But I have to wear a mask. So yeah.
(upbeat music)
- I got the base of it done
and as you can see it's just going on here like this.
And then I have a black suit
and I'm gonna have to make a belt.
Right now I'm going to glue together the belt and yeah
then I'll kind of piece together some stuff.
(upbeat music)
- [Jessica] All right. Oh my goodness,
- This, this is a thing.
This is...
- [Jessica] what?
- [Chris] I think this is good.
- [Jessica] I just like, what you can create
with a gray sweatshirt...
- [Chris] And some felt.
- [Jessica] And some felt. You're incredible.
You're an artist.
And look at this, look at your little...
you are a fashion designer.
And look at this artist.
Oh my goodness, Jacob, it's coming together.
- [Jacob] Yep.
- [Jessica] It's looking good. Are you happy?
- Yeah. I am excited to see it painted.
- [Jessica] Oh my goodness. Painted?
- [Chris] Just put all the stuff on so we can see it.
- [Jessica] And Luke's blue like a blueberry.
This is the oddest onesie.
I don't know what, what that's supposed to do.
Are you excited about Halloween?
- Yeah.
- [Jessica] What costume do you wanna wear?
Do you wanna be an elephant?
- Yeah!
- [Jessica] Or a blueberry?
- [Luke] No.
- [Jessica] No? Do you wanna be an elephant?
- [Luke] No.
- [Jessica] You wanna be a blueberry?
- [Luke] No.
- [Jessica] What? What do you be for Halloween?
- (inaudible baby noises) like dad. (inaudible baby noises)
- [Chris] Are you being an elephant?
- Yeah.
- [Jessica] An elephant?
- Yeah, yeah!
- [Jessica] You wanna an elephant for Halloween?
- Yeah. (inaudible baby noises) Lightning McQueen.
- [Jessica] Oh yeah. Lightning McQueen.
- (inaudible baby noises)
- [Jessica] Ooh.
- [Chris] You know who voices Lightning McQueen?
That (inaudible). He's so hot right now.
(Jessica giggles)
- [Jessica] Oh, that was a quick change.
- Yeah, it's not that hard to get out of.
It's hard to get into the corset part.
- [Jessica] I think Rue's sad you took your costume off.
- [Chris] Oh. That's okay.
We'll be, we'll be costume buddies soon.
I don't have a costume for her though.
She needs like a black shirt. I can't find one.
- [Jessica] I think we can squeeze her
in the one you bought.
- I bought an extra large dog costume.
And I didn't realize, Jessica explained this later,
that dog costumes come in extra large for a small dog
or extra large for a regular sized dog
and extra large for a large dog so.
- [Jessica] Yeah, you gotta read those details
really closely.
- I, I was like, oh
I don't think this will fit on her, but we'll see.
We'll see.
- [Luke] Yeah.
- [Chris] Yeah.
(feet stomping)
(Luke giggling)
- [Jessica] Rue's like dance party.
- [Chris] There she goes, that's her dance move.
- [Jessica] Oh. Careful.
- [Luke] Yeah
- [Chris] Yeah, yeah. Do you have a toy?
Where's your toy?
You have a cupcake?
Ready for a cupcake? Good sitting. Go get it.
- [Luke] Wow.
- [Chris] Whoa. There she goes.
Jacob's about to spray paint all of these pieces.
He's got a couple more pieces to make, but...
- Yes.
- [Chris] we're thinking the paint
is gonna take a little while so.
Let's, let's have it happen.
(upbeat guitar music)
- [Chris] It always looks so cool
when it starts getting painted.
- Yeah
- [Chris] Like that's a whole
that's a whole different beast right there.
That is awesome.
(upbeat guitar music)
- Jacob did an initial coat with silver
and now he's got some gold
and he's like using the gold to tarnish the silver
and make it look more aged and more used.
And so he's going back and forth between a gold spray paint
and a silver spray paint to get the exact like
luster that he wants out of it.
It's fun using terms like weathering and luster.
- Yeah.
- [Chris] See how that, there's like
a yellow hue to it from certain angles,
the light bounces off it a little differently now.
He's getting it with, with these different
different tones and trying to make it look
like something that somebody's used for a long time.
Hi, it's a couple days later and Jacob's stuff has dried
and now we're going to work on painting it some more.
So, look at this, look at what he made.
That is so cool, Jacob.
So there's some red paint that we need to put on it
and some weathering that, that we need to put on it.
And so for the red paint
we've gotta do some masking to start that off.
He's also gonna add something to the pads
that are on there to make it look more like,
like a material.
And then we've gotta paint that red.
And then what else do you have?
- [Jacob] Well I gotta make shoulder pieces
cuz I didn't make those.
(upbeat music)
- [Jacob] Dad, this looks really good.
Look at that.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, so I have finished the helmet
and it looks epic like it's so cool.
I love it.
And I'm about to try it on.
I am a little nervous but also really excited.
So let's see. Okay
Oh this is cool. This is really cool.
Yeah, I like that.
I like that.
I cannot wait to be Ant-Man for Halloween.
I'm really excited.
- So at this point
Jacob has most of the pieces put together.
He needs like Velcro to put it all on.
I don't know that we have that right now.
We might need to go to the store and get it
but he's putting it together right now.
- I feel like there's gonna be Velcro here
because that's...
- [Chris] Yeah, you want some Velcro there to hold it down.
- And then we've got these things.
- [Chris] So he has some shoulder pads
that he's putting on here
and then he is got these like leg plates that are going on
and we thought the suit went up the neck.
It did when we ordered it,
it looked like that in the pictures
but it doesn't.
So he made this and that's gonna go around his neck.
- Once we get some Velcro.
- [Chris] So it'll go around like that.
Looking pretty good.
- There is a little bit of spots on my back that you can see
but I'm probably just gonna wear a black shirt underneath.
- [Chris] And then obviously he's got his helmet
which just looks completely awesome.
I love the weathering, I love everything about this.
- [Jacob] Let's see.
- [Chris] Yes, yes.
That is it.
That's gonna be great Jacob.
Anyway, we'll get his costume all put together.
Parker's eye thing worked for what we needed it to do
but the costume itself, once he put it on, it was just
it wasn't the right size for him.
Like the dimensions weren't right.
We ended up having to get him another costume.
But I'm glad we did the experiment.
It was good to like try
try something out and fix a problem that we had.
Although, his newer suit is even cooler and he's
he's gonna be epic as Spider-Man.
Bailey's costume came in the mail.
Jessica's costume came in the mail.
We got costumes for Luke and Duncan and Teddy
at the Halloween store.
And my costume just needs me to dye my hair
and put on a little goatee beard
and, and I I gotta carry Rue around.
She's a big part of my costume.
