  • Great vid, can I also use old x-ray sheets? have a heap of them back from when they were looking for my brain!

  • whats the best surface to cut stencils on i was making scratches on my glass desk lol, thanks for the vid i to started making my own flame stencils because the ones you buy are overrated the designs are pretty simple to draw, but was using regular paper and and used a cereal box because of the thickness of the material but now i got a more professional way of making them again thanks

  • haha mike lavallee just got owned xD

  • thank you so much and very nice website! :)

  • Sweet, now I can make true fire, which is just beautiful.

  • Hi Chuck, had a look in on your site! impressive and informative, making my stencils in a similar method to you,I am just starting out but have not done any airbrushing yet. Not a lot of choices for materials here (scotland) Ebay thats all!! anyway thanks for your help you sound like you genuinley care

  • Hello crb1177

    I have to admit I am very impressed with the quality of your videos here on youtube.

    They are certainly a pleasure to watch as I do enjoy them.

    I am sure there is many others who also feel the same about your videos.

  • great video

  • Go to a wall-mart and buy cheap plastic folders or traper keepers... cut the front and back page out then draw your stencil on them and cut them out...

  • This video is awesome! i don't like mike levallee either. it's somethin about his face. but anyways, where can i buy some of those mylar sheets from?

  • Hi, You can get various mylar sheets. The self-adhesive, laminating sheets (made by Avery and GBC, etc.) can be purchased online or at office supply stores. The regular non-adhesive mylar sheets are usually available in larger sizes at fabric hobby stores. Apparently the solvent-proof nature of mylar is handy for making templates for fabric projects as well. Also you can get transparency sheets at office supply stores. Also you can get transparency sheets as well which are mylar.

  • @juggernizaut I met Mike Lavalle at the Seattle Roadster show one year, talked to him as a fellow airbrush artist, but he pretty much wanted nothing to do with me and was being a diva. So I just walked away and said fuck it. I looked at his work up close too, and it was actually surprisingly blurry and loose, like he rushes through everything now or something. It follows the saying "nice from far bur far from nice." I personally like to keep my work detailed and tight, so it looks good close.

  • wat's dat little knife thingy u use 2 cut call?? and where can i get it??

  • That's an Xacto Knife. You can get them about anywhere including painting stores, hobby and craft stores, office supply stores, hardware stores, on eBay, on-line, etc. The make a number of different styles of blades as well some of which can make curve-cutting even easier.

  • Good idea. I almost bought some templates at the art store here, and they're pretty darn expensive. I've been saving cereal boxes for a few months. They're thin enough to use. Though, not see-through, but will do a good job until they wear out. I just wanted something to draw some flames when I went to the art store. $20 for one!! Pretty outrageous if you ask me.

  • Awesome but i use mylar instead of this plastic which i think is better , but both of them do the job.

  • Good point. Yes, the lamination sheets I use here are in fact mylar which is a high polyester plastic that is solvent proof. They make these clear lamination sheets out of mylar for that very reason -- so that they protect documents, photos, etc from chemicals. My latest template making video further explains that and other sources of mylar and other tips and tricks as well.

  • thanx dude this vid sure helped i love making my own art stencils and will never purchase one am making my own tutorial using cs4 and spraying em anywhere.... great vid

  • mann you have saved ma piggy bank i was about to buy some of these hahah your a hero thank you!!

  • thanx for the info hw do u make a more detailed stencil of say the pin up girl like a skull wud have the gumline eye sockets e.t.c

  • great chuck...keep up the good work...:-)

  • You da Man!!!! Thanks!!!

  • Thanks -- this is great!! Very helpful sart instructioon from this Chuck Bauman guy.

    I am very shocked to hear that LaValle has been messing with this guy's YouTube videos. I guess LaValle is a "weasel with an easel" just like he says -- What a jerk.

  • I hate Lavallee & I've never bought any of his junk.

  • mm why i didnt think bout it before ;)

  • thx man u saved me money keep the vids coming.. mabe you could do a tutorial on flames or somthing for airbrushin thx AJ

  • dude keep on with the lines. I agree with you a line is a line is a line. Thanks chuck

  • what about the corners dont they soak up any paint cos the plastic sheets stop on the corners??? but dont get me wrong making your own is the way to go

  • Good stuff, thanks for the information.

  • Frickin amazing man! :D I'm glad i watched your vid before trying to buy a crappy stencil. I'm customizing my guitar. :D

  • Thank you this makes a lot of sense. I appreciate your video.
