[mau5maker]

@randomizers52 Out of the mouth.

[MrKarl109]

@mau5maker can I use paint instead of cloth?

[randomizers52]

how much did this cost to make altogether?

[mau5maker]

@randomizers52 Like $150-200

[DjLEATH3R]

@mau5maker You're fucking kidding right? They need to sell official Deadmau5 heads for that much T_T id buy one in a heart beat. But I gotta admit, your tutorial is awesome.

[thedumbyshow]

@Mau5maker: :'( Oh Well Il Try To Make One..iWas Gonna Make One To Use For Halloween But Thts Like 4 Months Away So Yea...

[TpriceOfficial97]

red is still my color! :D

[hunterfranz]

[mau5maker]

@hunterfranz uhhh materials like $150

[thedumbyshow]

If iPay You Money Can You Make One For Me??

[Youloeka]

You did like every capital as starting letter wrong, except in If... *fail at everything*

[mau5maker]

@Youloeka "You did like every capital as starting letter wrong" ...This makes little to no sense at all. You mad bro?

[mau5maker]

@thedumbyshow Sorry man I stopped making them to sell.

[AlienNumber70]

thats a kool dead mouse head

[mau5maker]

@AlienNumber70 Thanks man

[theflipoffproz]

Can you make me one in any color? Please dont be a dick and say anthing over 50 bucks please!

[EdDyExPlOsIoN]

you should make these and sell them

[mau5maker]

@EdDyExPlOsIoN I sold 6 of them I think but they take too long to make and cost too much to ship for what I was getting.

[tobythesandwich]

@mau5maker Am I right in thinking the ears are detachable? And make the buyer assume shipping. If the ears are permanently fixed that's your issue. Although your ears on this look better than most I've seen on DIY mau5heads.

[9999AWC]

@mau5maker Well, you can charge the shipping price to the client!

[yeahyeah4244]

Wow u people must be some serious ravers to go through all this trouble smh. Do something more productive with your time!!!

[mau5maker]

@yeahyeah4244 Like watch random videos then bash on them??? Sounds productive to me right...

[TheRealLifeCHANEL]

NICE ! But what is the material for step 1

[buckekman098]

TOO MANY WORDS! TOBUSCUS WOULD THROW A FIT!

[AwesomeRandification]

Is this sturdy? or is it really delicate?

[Niazuke]

The thumbnail looks like a red pac-man

[whatthefudge2009]

this is good head no complicated stuff like leds

[DJrinzler1]

god, could you make it for someone? i'd pay double

'

[LOIZOS944]

HEY any suggestions or pointers on how to perfectly cut a mouth ?

[mau5maker]

@LOIZOS944 Use a rotary dremel. Also measure a basillion times and cut once.

[DanIsAwesomeMood]

@mau5maker can you sellsome on ebay? :)

[47TheUsername]

@mau5maker hey man. great job on making the mau5head! awsome! looks good. much better than others ive seen. i was wondering for how much would you sell one for. i want one BAD! i really dont have the time to make one. (try adding a song to the clip :)

[PS3Mjlopez911]

50 deg in mid mouth and st 15 deg away from ears

[DuSERmig]

[LXS97]

[DjREFX]

It looks like deadmau5 has down sindrome

[mau5maker]

@DjREFX I hear people with down syndrome can't spell...

[Am0rPlat0nic07]

what kind of glue did u glue the hard hat with?

[mau5maker]

@Am0rPlat0nic07 hot glue with a bunch of foam padding to center the helmet

[djice2298]

@mau5maker can i buy it?

[Attack2001Zack]

i thought this guy said it would be easy!!!!!

[mau5maker]

@Attack2001Zack I lied, these things are hard as &*$% to make

[billaboy424]

@Attack2001Zack IKR!!!

[stupidmariobros913]

Hmm... Meh, ill keep making a steve head when i get the cardboard box ;)

[Z9Bootleg]

lol it looks hard... can someone make me a white one nd ill buy it? msg me lol thnx

[CaptainZachary]

I thought you said this was simple. :c

[MrSunshineSOS]

All of it looks great, but I wonder where we can get better eyes

[mau5maker]

@MrSunshineSOS Yeah see I don't like the "bug eyed" look so thats why I went with these. Also I couldn't find 5" diameter domes, only 6" ones. Keep me posted if you find anything though!

[mikeskaterdude]

Hey man tanx alot ill be making this soon witha freind for a Deadmau5 concert , btw is it easier to make with out leds and lights?

[mau5maker]

@mikeskaterdude Yeah definitely A LOT easier because you don't have to drill holes or do the wiring. If you use car dome LED lights its a little easier than drilling tons of holes for a christmas strand but its still annoying to wire it and stuff.

[mikeskaterdude]

@mau5maker Okay thank alot man :))

[PatrickA284]

@mikeskaterdude Which concert you going to?

[mikeskaterdude]

@PatrickA284 In dublin :D

[PatrickA284]

@mikeskaterdude Saame :DD

[lupitavenegas77]

dude plz txt ir call make me one ill pay I 80 dollars if u make me one

[Chickakahnn]

Hey, I wanted to say thank you for helping me out with my Mau5head. (I asked you tons of questions prior to halloween haha) If you wanna see how mine turned out and comment, check out my videos. I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks!!!

[mau5maker]

@Chickakahnn Looks good man. Great job!

[LMFAO5691]

i will buy it for 40$

[mau5maker]

@LMFAO5691 the instructions?

[MarioBros125253v1337]

I always said a good one will take time and effort...i was wrong

[tristen171]

if this is simple im going to fail high school



[mau5maker]

@tristen171 lol okay so its not so simple but if its good directions to build a legit head...

[IHectorino]

How much for one?

[NGSxHDxFLAR3S]

like if u checked your volume



[mau5maker]

@NGSxHDxFLAR3S winning

[jirara23]

Do you know how to make the LED-covered helmet? If so, how do you go about doing that, let alone programming it? I've been selling the ones I've made to my friends and I thought I'd make myself one.

[mau5maker]

@jirara23 I don't sorry man. I'd have to do a lot of research

[jirara23]

@mau5maker I found this 3 lb density polyurethane foam. It's lightweight, flexible and holds a rigid shape. It's an A-B mixture though and it costs like $60 for a 2 gallon tub of it. If you happen to find anything, please let me know.

[nackteh]

R they for sale

[mau5maker]

@nackteh I sold a number of them ya but won't be making more for a couple weeks

[CoD4freak58]

put some music in the vid its more enjoyable

[mau5maker]

@CoD4freak58 Violates copyright laws

[CoD4freak58]

@mau5maker oooohhhhhh how???????????? even if u purchased the music and said u dont own the music????????

[mau5maker]

@CoD4freak58 I wanted to apply for ads on my video so ya I couldn't have anything in the video that I didn't own rights too. I do agree that music would be a plus though!

[aClubCracker]

I have that Vizio remote on your bed!!!

[mau5maker]

@aClubCracker Yes it is, ha.

[foah201]

Are you a wizard?

[mau5maker]

@foah201 Yes...you can call me Dumbledore.

[ElMartino23]

QUESTION!!! the globe i found already has a 5.25" circular cut in the bottom and in your instructional it says 8" by10" and but its more to the back...before i buy it its this cut already too big to make it work properly?

[mau5maker]

@ElMartino23 Yeah man that works. I just get the globe with the 5.25" cut out in the bottom. That means it has a 5.25" diameter and the neck hole you are going to cut is 8" by 10" diameter so its bigger than the original one. So yes thats what you want

[mau5maker]

@22tahsin Materials about $100...tools maybe another $75 unless you already have a dremel

[BboyIllusi0n]

u dont cut the entire eyes out of the 14"in globe right?

u just drill holes in the 14" to feed the x-mas lights and hot glue the eye over the fabric? im a little lost here cuz im puttin LED's on mine tooo (those exact x-mas lights too lol) and idk if i should cut the whole eyes out then cover it w/ fabric and stick the eyes in from the inside to out.. could you gimme a little advice? srry for the long paragraph lol ive built mine in 5 days with 3 days left till h'ween and wanna get done

[mau5maker]

@BboyIllusi0n Hey man, if you are using that same LED strand then what you need to do is drill holes to poke the lights through from the INSIDE of the head poking out the OUTSIDE of the head. Then BEFORE you glue the lights into place cover the head and poke holes in the fabric so the lights can poke out. Then glue the lights in place. Stick each light from the inside to the outside. Hopefully this helps. If not hit me up.

[mau5maker]

@BboyIllusi0n Oh, so to answer your main question. No you dont cut out the entire eyes. Just drill holes for the lights.

[BboyIllusi0n]

@mau5maker ok cuz thats wat i was thinking of doing also..ive seen some ppl cut out the entire eyes out but then how would u put the lights? soo i was kinda like that would just be moar work. aite man thx for the help rlly appreciate it...ur tutorial has helped me moar than any other tutorial on here thx!

[mau5maker]

@BboyIllusi0n yeah cutting the entire eyes out makes it a lot tougher. No problem man glad it helped.

[mau5maker]

@OfficialJStep NICE

[mau5maker]

@OfficialJStep Actually I just found the one that I used back in the day. I'll send you a message with it.

[mau5maker]

@OfficialJStep Not sure how to do that otherwise I would. Its not too bad making your own template though. Just follow the dimensions and take your time. Sorry man.

[MrChubbyMidget]

you fucking ledgend this is the only video that has actually helped me :D

[mau5maker]

@MrChubbyMidget Haha nice man, glad it helped out.

[mazsegura3]

luv it!

[MrHotbabe101]

that is SICK!!!!

[Chickakahnn]

Did you use a hot glue gun to glue the styrofoam together? (When making the ears)

[mau5maker]

@Chickakahnn Like when gluing the piece of foam to the side to make it 13" wide? If thats what you are talking about then yeah I used hot glue. Don't get the glue too hot though or it might melt the foam.

[Chickakahnn]

@Chickakahnn That's exactly my question, and concern. So I'm assuming it's strong enough then.

[mau5maker]

@Chickakahnn Yeah Its fine just do a couple thin lines of glue down the side of the foam and push the extra piece on. Should be good.

[harzored]

Thank you, im in the works of making one, cheers!

[mau5maker]

@harzored Nice!!

[deejaynammo]

@chickakahnn ah, didn't even notice! Thanks!

[deejaynammo]

Does it matter if the eye is 5 inch acryllic globe? I can't find the 5 in anywhere

[Chickakahnn]

@deejaynammo read the comments above. i said the same thing.

[SirWilliamLee]

I can only find those 20 bulb LEDs on ebay that come from Aussie, which take too long to ship. Can you just use the stick-on LED's instead?

[mau5maker]

@SirWilliamLee Not sure what stick on LEDs are. I would actually use bendable LED strands in lengths of 3 lights. Search "bendable LED lights" and you should be able to find some sets of (2) three light circuits. Then you will just need to drill one hole underneath the eye dome for the wire to go through. Also, these work with a 9v battery but you will need wire a switch to it. Or use whatever you can find, anything really works.

[Chickakahnn]

How much Lycra fabric did you use total? (yards?)

[mau5maker]

@Chickakahnn You can do it with 1 Yard if you are efficient. If you think you might mess up then I'd go with 1.5 or 2 yards.

[briano06000]

How long will this take but without the led's? and how much?

[Chickakahnn]

Do six inch globes work, instead of five inch?? Cause' I am only finding 6" online and at 1000bulbs/Home Depot.

[mau5maker]

@Chickakahnn That's what I use because I don't like the "bug eyed" look. I just get the 6" globe and cut them down to a 5" diameter. Looks a lot cleaner in my opinion.

[junonumer01]

sikk af!

[SkickPank]

how do you CUT a bolt?

[mau5maker]

@SkickPank Use a dremel with a cutting disk. Or a hack saw works.

[mau5maker]

Remember everyone...as Summersolstice0621 pointed out, when you are sewing the 2 circles of cloth together leave a 10" or so gap so you can slip the cloth over the head. That gap you leave will then be glued to the inside of the neck opening on the head.

[Summersolstice0621]

Question for you, when I sew the two pieces of lycra together for the head, how do I stretch it over the head if there is no opening like the ears.. your diagram has us sewing all the way around the circle??

[mau5maker]

@Summersolstice0621 Wow good call, I didnt even realize that. Leave a like 10" gap on the bottom of the circle so you can slip it over the head like a pillow.

[B0bThePsych0]

How do I eat it?

[mau5maker]

@B0bThePsych0 fork & knife???

[ASUbuckaroo15]

SO AWESOME! Thanks for all your help.

[mau5maker]

@ASUbuckaroo15 No problem! Glad it helped.

[daytona5oo]

please send me a price and a link

[mau5maker]

@daytona5oo a price for a head? I don't make them to sell anymore. This is just a tutorial.

[DougieFwesh]

@mau5maker how much did cost all in all for the materials?

[mau5maker]

@DougieFwesh Depends really... but around $150

[superDJAURORA]

I am desperate for one, badly!! I'm serious!! My Halloween carnival is in less than 2 weeks. If you can help out in any way, message me, plz?

[mau5maker]

@superDJAURORA Messaged you.

[Summersolstice0621]

I'm helping my 14 year old son build one of these, your tutorial cuts out all the crap and I love the written instructions! Short quick and too the point! Thanks you made my job easier!

[mau5maker]

@Summersolstice0621 Awesome! I'm glad it helped. I wasn't sure if it was going to be clear enough but I figured people would get one thing or another from it. I wish I had taken more pictures during the build process so I might make another one. Anyways, hit me up if you have any questions!
