This community is a central space for makers and creators of all types. Woodworking is just as welcome as 3d printing, welding can go alongside programming robots run by micro controllers.

"Look what I made" is welcome, as is "This is how to make it".

The important thing is to create something, and get inspired by other people's creations.

Keep it civil and uplifting.

How To? Hands free box on head (reddthat.com)

I'm making a Halloween costume that features my head inside a box. All good if In use my hands to support said box, but I'd like my hands to be free.

This seems like a solved problem, got any hints on how I might support the box so its stable while leaving my arms and hands free?

How much of the inside of the box will be visible? You could mount the box to the top of a hard hat, or if it’s really light you could use foam to secure it to a baseball cap with the brim removed.

Whatever you do, make sure it has adequate ventilation. Nothing will make you feel uncomfortably hot like having no airflow across your head/neck area.

One year I went as a kelp forest, with helium balloons holding up the kelp. God Damn helium balloons are insulating!
