Why watch another action movie when you can make your own, complete with stunt props?

In a recent video, YouTuber Bob from I Like To Make Stuff demonstrates how to construct stunt props.

What are you doing with all your free time? Are you reading more books? Are you pursuing a new hobby? Are you spending quality time with your loved ones? Of course not. Like everyone else, you’re watching your favorite movies on Netflix for the one millionth time. This weekend, instead of watching your favorite action movie, make your own film. Grab a few friends, set up your smartphone on a tripod, and record your own movie. But before you start rolling, you’re going to need the right props. No action movie is complete without a breakaway glass bottle, a foam cinder block, or a bendable wrench. In a recent video, YouTuber Bob from I Like To Make Stuff demonstrates how to construct stunt props.
