A year ago we were at a play called "AChristmas Story" and there was one of these in the play
of course it's in the movie as well and all I could think the whole time was,
"We need one of those at our house!" and then all I could think was we need one of those of my leg!
And then all I could think was "I should make one and give it to my wife for Christmas next
year" which is this year, which is right now! The greatest present of all time:
my creepy hairy man leg. Let me take you all the way back to step one finding the volume
of my leg: three-point-eight-seven gallons. I gotta tell you when the folks at Smooth-On
heard about this project, well, they were all on board and they were like "Let us help you out
so you can get this project underway!" One of the toughest parts of this build was finding size 11
high heels! Today's the big day! Today's the day we cast the leg! Let me tell you I was warned that
I might want to shave my leg. But, instead, I just covered it with some cream and hoped for the best.
Turns out, that was a bad idea. You'll see why in a minute. The team
slathered me up with silicon from Smooth-On to make this perfect cast!
I've been in the heels for an hour, maybe longer. I'm struggling and...uh...the plaster is going on.
And this is the point where things became a little less fun because, you see, all my leg hair - yep,
it was stuck right in that silicon and you'll hear it ripping out of my skin!
"Oh, you got it! Would you stop! Stop! And this is the part that made a grown man cry!
It's like Cinderella! Remember this build was a secret so I had to hide my freshly waxed legs
from my wife! I'm letting the kids in on the secret. They're gonna guess. It's a major award!
And, you have to be careful with it because it's fragile! No way! No, no!
You got her that lamp?! Here you go, take a look! No that's so cool! Did you like, make the lamp
or something? From my own leg! You plastered your leg?! Is it gonna be like, a hairy leg?!
How did mom not find out about that? Secrets, secrets!
This is a big day because this is the day that brings me massive amounts of anxiety
because we get one chance to pour this leg! One chance! Part A and part B. Here goes nothing.
This is a big moment folks!
Look at this! That came out of my leg!
Here goes nothing! It's a creepy leg man!
One of the most important parts is the fragile box,
so I took my kids out hunting for pallets and we built this beautiful box to house the leg!
And then it was time to unveil the Greatest Christmas Present of All
Time to mama! Do you have any guesses? No. Three, two, one! Open them up!
It's too small to be my, what do you call those things you bury people in?
It's too small to be a coffin! Fragile!
His end up! That's awkward! Is something gonna jump out of it!
Fragile!
Did you make me my own lamp?! Is that what it is?! Did you make me one of those leg lamps?!
This is awesome! I love it! It's so heavy!
You're lucky I'm so strong! It's a man leg! Is that supposed to be a hairy leg?
It's a major prize! Wait, are these my shoes? Are you sure these are not my shoes?
I don't trust you it did you guys! Did you add leg hair to this or is it stuck
inside? Because it's bothersome! Who's missing all their leg hair?
You! Oh my god! You are missing your hair! It's on my sculpture!
That's gross! That's your hair?! I want to throw up right now!
Whoa! It works!
Um, it's awesome! I love it.
Oh, the perfect spot for it!
