the installation of this LED display in my mask it’s actually really easy and

my mask it’s actually really easy and

my mask it’s actually really easy and today I’ll be showing you how it’s done

this project will require the camión

this project will require the camión glasses now this is probably the best

glasses now this is probably the best

glasses now this is probably the best option on the market right now because

option on the market right now because

option on the market right now because everything’s self-contained and you

everything’s self-contained and you

everything’s self-contained and you don’t really even need to buy the

don’t really even need to buy the

don’t really even need to buy the battery compartments if you want to

battery compartments if you want to

battery compartments if you want to install this into a paintball mask or

install this into a paintball mask or

install this into a paintball mask or some sort of other costume the other

some sort of other costume the other

some sort of other costume the other thing is that it’s Bluetooth compatible

thing is that it’s Bluetooth compatible

thing is that it’s Bluetooth compatible with the app and so you need a

with the app and so you need a

with the app and so you need a smartphone or Android it also works with

smartphone or Android it also works with

smartphone or Android it also works with Apple and you go ahead and download the

Apple and you go ahead and download the

Apple and you go ahead and download the app camión and you can see that there’s

app camión and you can see that there’s

app camión and you can see that there’s a little link button up here so we’re

a little link button up here so we’re

a little link button up here so we’re gonna go ahead and make sure that this

gonna go ahead and make sure that this

gonna go ahead and make sure that this thing works before we disassemble it and

thing works before we disassemble it and

thing works before we disassemble it and you can see that it’s displaying this

you can see that it’s displaying this

you can see that it’s displaying this specific four-digit code d1 7e so we’re

specific four-digit code d1 7e so we’re

specific four-digit code d1 7e so we’re gonna go ahead and you can see that it’s

gonna go ahead and you can see that it’s

gonna go ahead and you can see that it’s already found it

already found it

already found it will go ahead and link that and now the

will go ahead and link that and now the

will go ahead and link that and now the phone is paired with the glasses that’s

phone is paired with the glasses that’s

phone is paired with the glasses that’s a really cool feature because it allows

a really cool feature because it allows

a really cool feature because it allows you to keep your glasses safe from

you to keep your glasses safe from

you to keep your glasses safe from anyone else who wants to tamper with it

anyone else who wants to tamper with it

anyone else who wants to tamper with it it has to be in this search mode so I

it has to be in this search mode so I

it has to be in this search mode so I guess if someone was waiting around they

guess if someone was waiting around they

guess if someone was waiting around they could connect to it but it’s not gonna

could connect to it but it’s not gonna

could connect to it but it’s not gonna allow anyone to connect unless it’s in

allow anyone to connect unless it’s in

allow anyone to connect unless it’s in this mode when you first turn it on so

this mode when you first turn it on so

this mode when you first turn it on so you can see another cool effect is this

you can see another cool effect is this

you can see another cool effect is this equalizer so as I’m talking you’ll

equalizer so as I’m talking you’ll

equalizer so as I’m talking you’ll actually display the voice fluctuation I

actually display the voice fluctuation I

actually display the voice fluctuation I thought that was a really neat effect

thought that was a really neat effect

thought that was a really neat effect and if you want to go and create your

and if you want to go and create your

and if you want to go and create your own different display you can go into

own different display you can go into

own different display you can go into the creator and so you’re seeing how

the creator and so you’re seeing how

the creator and so you’re seeing how it’s copying what I have on the screen

it’s copying what I have on the screen

it’s copying what I have on the screen so we’re going to go back here and we

so we’re going to go back here and we

so we’re going to go back here and we don’t want to save that because that’s

don’t want to save that because that’s

don’t want to save that because that’s just junk and then there’s also the

just junk and then there’s also the

just junk and then there’s also the ability to go and there’s like a little

ability to go and there’s like a little

ability to go and there’s like a little network that you can connect via

network that you can connect via

network that you can connect via Facebook and it will link you with a

Facebook and it will link you with a

Facebook and it will link you with a bunch of other creators who have

bunch of other creators who have

bunch of other creators who have different things for you to check out so

different things for you to check out so

different things for you to check out so another thing is the thermal lens this

another thing is the thermal lens this

another thing is the thermal lens this is what I’m going to be installing the

is what I’m going to be installing the

is what I’m going to be installing the electronics into

electronics into

electronics into best thing about this is that it’s two

best thing about this is that it’s two

best thing about this is that it’s two layers so you actually would be sliding

layers so you actually would be sliding

layers so you actually would be sliding the board in between the two layers and

the board in between the two layers and

the board in between the two layers and then you want to rewire everything back

then you want to rewire everything back

then you want to rewire everything back into the mask so that’s a nice compact

into the mask so that’s a nice compact

into the mask so that’s a nice compact package so another thing that I’ll show

package so another thing that I’ll show

package so another thing that I’ll show you is how I reuse the battery

you is how I reuse the battery

you is how I reuse the battery compartments from the original chemi on

compartments from the original chemi on

compartments from the original chemi on glasses and just install them into the

glasses and just install them into the

glasses and just install them into the mask it’s really easy you might be able

mask it’s really easy you might be able

mask it’s really easy you might be able to do it depending on the mask that

to do it depending on the mask that

to do it depending on the mask that you’re using I’ll take you step-by-step

you’re using I’ll take you step-by-step

you’re using I’ll take you step-by-step how I did this I think this display is

how I did this I think this display is

how I did this I think this display is really awesome it definitely adds a

really awesome it definitely adds a

really awesome it definitely adds a unique character and vibe to the mask

these are my homemade super hearing

these are my homemade super hearing headphones which will be on both sides

so now I’ll show you step by step how to

so now I’ll show you step by step how to remove the electronics portion from the

remove the electronics portion from the

remove the electronics portion from the glasses it’s really not difficult you

glasses it’s really not difficult you

glasses it’s really not difficult you just have to make sure you’re patient

just have to make sure you’re patient

just have to make sure you’re patient and you don’t want to accidentally strip

and you don’t want to accidentally strip

and you don’t want to accidentally strip the screws because then you’re kind of

the screws because then you’re kind of

the screws because then you’re kind of literally screwed at that point there is

literally screwed at that point there is

literally screwed at that point there is one right here kind of goes in at an

one right here kind of goes in at an

one right here kind of goes in at an angle and there’s another one here on

angle and there’s another one here on

angle and there’s another one here on the side you might want to hold on to

the side you might want to hold on to

the side you might want to hold on to these if you decide you want to

these if you decide you want to

these if you decide you want to reassemble this but for me not too

reassemble this but for me not too

reassemble this but for me not too worried about it then you’re gonna have

worried about it then you’re gonna have

worried about it then you’re gonna have these two little clips here that’s kind

these two little clips here that’s kind

these two little clips here that’s kind of just holding this thing in place now

of just holding this thing in place now

of just holding this thing in place now you might need a small screwdriver just

you might need a small screwdriver just

you might need a small screwdriver just sort of pry that apart you might

sort of pry that apart you might

sort of pry that apart you might actually damage the plastic but I don’t

actually damage the plastic but I don’t

actually damage the plastic but I don’t plan on reassembling this thing so this

plan on reassembling this thing so this

plan on reassembling this thing so this is kind of like your point of no return

is kind of like your point of no return

is kind of like your point of no return so you can see those really thin cables

so you can see those really thin cables

so you can see those really thin cables in there that doesn’t really matter

in there that doesn’t really matter

in there that doesn’t really matter because you’re not going to be

because you’re not going to be

because you’re not going to be connecting that that’s just kind of

connecting that that’s just kind of

connecting that that’s just kind of annoying we’re gonna be getting some

annoying we’re gonna be getting some

annoying we’re gonna be getting some stronger wires just salvaging them from

stronger wires just salvaging them from

stronger wires just salvaging them from a other adapter that you could just

a other adapter that you could just

a other adapter that you could just probably find in your house you can see

probably find in your house you can see

probably find in your house you can see those two wires there it’s kind of want

those two wires there it’s kind of want

those two wires there it’s kind of want to just slide it forward and then turn

all right that is probably the most

all right that is probably the most annoying part I don’t know why they did

annoying part I don’t know why they did

annoying part I don’t know why they did it like that so now you can see how the

it like that so now you can see how the

it like that so now you can see how the battery compartment is actually already

battery compartment is actually already

battery compartment is actually already built into the glasses this is actually

built into the glasses this is actually

built into the glasses this is actually really neat and you just kind of push

really neat and you just kind of push

really neat and you just kind of push this backward and go you may want to

this backward and go you may want to

this backward and go you may want to desolder this at this point so you can

desolder this at this point so you can

desolder this at this point so you can see how the positive and negative

see how the positive and negative

see how the positive and negative terminals are labeled and even if it

terminals are labeled and even if it

terminals are labeled and even if it wasn’t you know that red is positive

wasn’t you know that red is positive

wasn’t you know that red is positive black is negative

black is negative

black is negative I’m going to go ahead and use our

I’m going to go ahead and use our

I’m going to go ahead and use our soldering iron just to attach those

soldering iron just to attach those

soldering iron just to attach those which is just good and heat that up till

which is just good and heat that up till

which is just good and heat that up till it’s sort of liquifies and on the other

it’s sort of liquifies and on the other

it’s sort of liquifies and on the other side as well and there you go now in

side as well and there you go now in

side as well and there you go now in hindsight I should have removed the

hindsight I should have removed the

hindsight I should have removed the battery before doing that now we’re

battery before doing that now we’re

battery before doing that now we’re going to make sure that we first remove

going to make sure that we first remove

going to make sure that we first remove the battery and then just do the same

the battery and then just do the same

the battery and then just do the same you’re gonna want to angle this remember

you’re gonna want to angle this remember

you’re gonna want to angle this remember make sure that you have enough downward

make sure that you have enough downward

make sure that you have enough downward pressure so that you don’t strip the

pressure so that you don’t strip the

pressure so that you don’t strip the screw okay may want to use the flat-head

screw okay may want to use the flat-head

screw okay may want to use the flat-head screwdriver just sort of pry this I mean

screwdriver just sort of pry this I mean

screwdriver just sort of pry this I mean this is by far the most annoying part of

this is by far the most annoying part of

this is by far the most annoying part of the entire build yeah I know it looks

the entire build yeah I know it looks

the entire build yeah I know it looks really ugly but it’s just how it’s got

really ugly but it’s just how it’s got

really ugly but it’s just how it’s got to be and then we’re going to just

to be and then we’re going to just

to be and then we’re going to just desolder these two wires so go ahead and

desolder these two wires so go ahead and

desolder these two wires so go ahead and just lift this up here this is pretty

just lift this up here this is pretty

just lift this up here this is pretty much just held in with friction first

much just held in with friction first

much just held in with friction first would stick this little hook in there

would stick this little hook in there

would stick this little hook in there and then press this down so in order to

and then press this down so in order to

and then press this down so in order to open this you just pull up all you’re

open this you just pull up all you’re

open this you just pull up all you’re sort of pulling this way so this side up

sort of pulling this way so this side up

sort of pulling this way so this side up while you push and then you have the

while you push and then you have the

while you push and then you have the wire compartment with a battery just

wire compartment with a battery just

wire compartment with a battery just right there and then we’re going to go

right there and then we’re going to go

right there and then we’re going to go ahead and just you slaughter this and

ahead and just you slaughter this and

ahead and just you slaughter this and like I said we’re not going to be using

like I said we’re not going to be using

like I said we’re not going to be using these little ribbon cables because they

these little ribbon cables because they

these little ribbon cables because they are work of the devil it’s just the most

are work of the devil it’s just the most

are work of the devil it’s just the most inconvenient thing and if that would

inconvenient thing and if that would

inconvenient thing and if that would even just break by making a crease like

even just break by making a crease like

even just break by making a crease like if you were to bend that and it wouldn’t

if you were to bend that and it wouldn’t

if you were to bend that and it wouldn’t work like they’re the most annoying

work like they’re the most annoying

work like they’re the most annoying thing the next part is working with

thing the next part is working with

thing the next part is working with removal of the actual display so this is

removal of the actual display so this is

removal of the actual display so this is where you probably get nervous but I

where you probably get nervous but I

where you probably get nervous but I promise you it’s not that big of a deal

promise you it’s not that big of a deal

promise you it’s not that big of a deal so there is

so there is

so there is a screw here one right on the nose plate

a screw here one right on the nose plate

a screw here one right on the nose plate here which may or may not actually be

here which may or may not actually be

here which may or may not actually be necessary to remove I don’t know because

necessary to remove I don’t know because

necessary to remove I don’t know because it’s just this little piece of like

it’s just this little piece of like

it’s just this little piece of like rubber here and then there’s another two

rubber here and then there’s another two

rubber here and then there’s another two right here okay and then now that we’ve

right here okay and then now that we’ve

right here okay and then now that we’ve already disassembled the batteries it

already disassembled the batteries it

already disassembled the batteries it really doesn’t matter you can move these

really doesn’t matter you can move these

really doesn’t matter you can move these there’s two more screws on the top and

there’s two more screws on the top and

there’s two more screws on the top and bottom of the little hinge

you’ll notice these ones are a little

you’ll notice these ones are a little bit longer than the other screws

yeah just be careful with these screws

yeah just be careful with these screws you don’t want to strip anything

you don’t want to strip anything

you don’t want to strip anything although these ones aren’t as important

although these ones aren’t as important

although these ones aren’t as important because it just holds the hinge together

because it just holds the hinge together

because it just holds the hinge together all right so let’s clear this out you

all right so let’s clear this out you

all right so let’s clear this out you can see how thin those wires are this is

can see how thin those wires are this is

can see how thin those wires are this is why it gets a little bit annoying but

why it gets a little bit annoying but

why it gets a little bit annoying but like I said these don’t matter because

like I said these don’t matter because

like I said these don’t matter because you’re going to be soldering a much

you’re going to be soldering a much

you’re going to be soldering a much stronger connection to the board and you

stronger connection to the board and you

stronger connection to the board and you don’t need to worry about any sort of

don’t need to worry about any sort of

don’t need to worry about any sort of flexion in the actual piece everything

flexion in the actual piece everything

flexion in the actual piece everything is pretty much housed in between these

is pretty much housed in between these

is pretty much housed in between these two pieces all right so that’s one piece

two pieces all right so that’s one piece

two pieces all right so that’s one piece and you can see that’s actually what is

and you can see that’s actually what is

and you can see that’s actually what is holding this thing in place and there’s

holding this thing in place and there’s

holding this thing in place and there’s a screw there and a screw there all

a screw there and a screw there all

a screw there and a screw there all right so now we have some gloves on and

right so now we have some gloves on and

right so now we have some gloves on and you go ahead and remove the display

you go ahead and remove the display

you go ahead and remove the display remember you want be very careful at

remember you want be very careful at

remember you want be very careful at this point and you can see how it’s just

this point and you can see how it’s just

this point and you can see how it’s just already lifting right off of platform

already lifting right off of platform

already lifting right off of platform and the wires just kind of comes out

and the wires just kind of comes out

and the wires just kind of comes out right there and the other one right here

again make sure that you’re very careful

again make sure that you’re very careful at this part you don’t want to slip and

at this part you don’t want to slip and

at this part you don’t want to slip and then stab the and scratch any of the

then stab the and scratch any of the

then stab the and scratch any of the LEDs so just be very gentle no big deal

LEDs so just be very gentle no big deal

LEDs so just be very gentle no big deal and there is your board we’ll just go

and there is your board we’ll just go

and there is your board we’ll just go ahead and rest it on that piece right

ahead and rest it on that piece right

ahead and rest it on that piece right there now if you want to check out and

there now if you want to check out and

there now if you want to check out and see if it still works you can go ahead

see if it still works you can go ahead

see if it still works you can go ahead and solder the electronics back on

so make sure that you remove the battery

so make sure that you remove the battery first I really don’t care about

first I really don’t care about

first I really don’t care about connecting it back to this so I’m going

connecting it back to this so I’m going

connecting it back to this so I’m going to now remove the actual connections you

to now remove the actual connections you

to now remove the actual connections you can see the positive and the negative

can see the positive and the negative

can see the positive and the negative still on there the positive is at the

still on there the positive is at the

still on there the positive is at the top and then give them the bottom and

top and then give them the bottom and

top and then give them the bottom and here it says bat + bat negative so

here it says bat + bat negative so

here it says bat + bat negative so really really simple all right

really really simple all right

really really simple all right and desolder this to desolder something

and desolder this to desolder something

and desolder this to desolder something you just need a soldering iron you do

you just need a soldering iron you do

you just need a soldering iron you do basically laid on there until it looks

basically laid on there until it looks

basically laid on there until it looks like it gets liquefied and you can tell

like it gets liquefied and you can tell

like it gets liquefied and you can tell it’ll just sink right in okay and then

it’ll just sink right in okay and then

it’ll just sink right in okay and then you just want to do it to the other side

you just want to do it to the other side

you just want to do it to the other side well it’s still sort of molten and good

well it’s still sort of molten and good

well it’s still sort of molten and good and just kind of show you now notice

and just kind of show you now notice

and just kind of show you now notice that these are both still separated you

that these are both still separated you

that these are both still separated you don’t want to accidentally have the

don’t want to accidentally have the

don’t want to accidentally have the solder transfer over onto the positive

solder transfer over onto the positive

solder transfer over onto the positive side otherwise it’s not going to work so

side otherwise it’s not going to work so

side otherwise it’s not going to work so now that we have the board removed and

now that we have the board removed and

now that we have the board removed and we still have our two battery

we still have our two battery

we still have our two battery connections we’re gonna go and resaw to

connections we’re gonna go and resaw to

connections we’re gonna go and resaw to this to the board you’re gonna have to

this to the board you’re gonna have to

this to the board you’re gonna have to decide how long you want the extensions

decide how long you want the extensions

decide how long you want the extensions to be and you may even want to create

to be and you may even want to create

to be and you may even want to create your own extensions with a little bit of

your own extensions with a little bit of

your own extensions with a little bit of a thicker wire or create a better

a thicker wire or create a better

a thicker wire or create a better soldering joint here so you just go

soldering joint here so you just go

soldering joint here so you just go ahead and heat up that slaughter and

ahead and heat up that slaughter and

ahead and heat up that slaughter and that connects right to the board and

that connects right to the board and

that connects right to the board and then with this wire same thing heat up

then with this wire same thing heat up

then with this wire same thing heat up the solder on the actual piece of wire

the solder on the actual piece of wire

the solder on the actual piece of wire and then just dab it onto the board same

and then just dab it onto the board same

and then just dab it onto the board same with this one

now this soldering board is at 400

now this soldering board is at 400 degrees so it heats up pretty quickly

alright so I guess this is the moment of

alright so I guess this is the moment of truth to see if actually still works all

truth to see if actually still works all

truth to see if actually still works all right and it does still work let’s see

right and it does still work let’s see

right and it does still work let’s see if we still have a good connection we

if we still have a good connection we

if we still have a good connection we have bluetooth and we’ll go ahead and

have bluetooth and we’ll go ahead and

have bluetooth and we’ll go ahead and yep found it link and then go into

yep found it link and then go into

yep found it link and then go into equalizer just as a test you can see

equalizer just as a test you can see

equalizer just as a test you can see that it’s still working so here is the

that it’s still working so here is the

that it’s still working so here is the thermal lens this piece of plastic now

thermal lens this piece of plastic now

thermal lens this piece of plastic now this is the layer that allows you to be

this is the layer that allows you to be

this is the layer that allows you to be protected from your lenses fogging up

protected from your lenses fogging up

protected from your lenses fogging up there’s an air layer in between he was a

there’s an air layer in between he was a

there’s an air layer in between he was a hairdryer just to very lightly heat up

hairdryer just to very lightly heat up

hairdryer just to very lightly heat up the foam layer and you can actually peel

the foam layer and you can actually peel

the foam layer and you can actually peel back the adhesive so that you can access

back the adhesive so that you can access

back the adhesive so that you can access the inner portion where you’re going to

the inner portion where you’re going to

the inner portion where you’re going to lay the actual board you can see the

lay the actual board you can see the

lay the actual board you can see the wires this is actually the old battery

wires this is actually the old battery

wires this is actually the old battery cap if you heat this up with a hairdryer

cap if you heat this up with a hairdryer

cap if you heat this up with a hairdryer it will allow you to sort of stretch it

it will allow you to sort of stretch it

it will allow you to sort of stretch it almost like saran wrap over top of this

almost like saran wrap over top of this

almost like saran wrap over top of this and then you just use an exacto knife to

and then you just use an exacto knife to

and then you just use an exacto knife to cut the excess and that looks pretty

cut the excess and that looks pretty

cut the excess and that looks pretty nice I’d say and then it fits just right

nice I’d say and then it fits just right

nice I’d say and then it fits just right back on this portion here and I used

back on this portion here and I used

back on this portion here and I used some velcro pieces just to attach that

some velcro pieces just to attach that

some velcro pieces just to attach that that’s kind of hid in there and it works

that’s kind of hid in there and it works

that’s kind of hid in there and it works out pretty nice right there and side of

out pretty nice right there and side of

out pretty nice right there and side of the mask it’s connecting and it goes

the mask it’s connecting and it goes

the mask it’s connecting and it goes back to the two terminals on the actual

back to the two terminals on the actual

back to the two terminals on the actual board I’d say that’s about eight inches

board I’d say that’s about eight inches

board I’d say that’s about eight inches of extra wire maybe you want to go nine

of extra wire maybe you want to go nine

of extra wire maybe you want to go nine just in case you need a little bit of

just in case you need a little bit of

just in case you need a little bit of excess but it’s going from the face

excess but it’s going from the face

excess but it’s going from the face portion over up you can see this will

portion over up you can see this will

portion over up you can see this will kind of lip or

kind of lip or

kind of lip or I know what you want to call it and I

I know what you want to call it and I

I know what you want to call it and I just kind of sat there so if there was

just kind of sat there so if there was

just kind of sat there so if there was any extra tension had a little bit of

any extra tension had a little bit of

any extra tension had a little bit of give on the actual wire so you don’t

give on the actual wire so you don’t

give on the actual wire so you don’t tear any of the wires out and then that

have to make something like this so you’re gonna need one of these small

you’re gonna need one of these small

you’re gonna need one of these small momentary switches and then I attach the

momentary switches and then I attach the

momentary switches and then I attach the positive and negative I also added some

positive and negative I also added some

positive and negative I also added some heat-shrink and then I heated it up with

heat-shrink and then I heated it up with

heat-shrink and then I heated it up with a lighter and then I crimped it using a

a lighter and then I crimped it using a

a lighter and then I crimped it using a pair of pliers this is some 18 gauge

cut that wire this actually works just

cut that wire this actually works just as well or you can buy the 18 gauge wire

as well or you can buy the 18 gauge wire

as well or you can buy the 18 gauge wire use that for the majority and also some

use that for the majority and also some

use that for the majority and also some heat shrink tubing just to make sure

heat shrink tubing just to make sure

heat shrink tubing just to make sure that is everything was uniform and you

that is everything was uniform and you

that is everything was uniform and you can never go wrong with heat shrink

can never go wrong with heat shrink

can never go wrong with heat shrink tubing you can always remove it it’s

just a connection on both sides when you

just a connection on both sides when you press down this button you get

press down this button you get

press down this button you get voltage that turns on the circuit so all

voltage that turns on the circuit so all

voltage that turns on the circuit so all you need to do is connect a wire to the

you need to do is connect a wire to the

you need to do is connect a wire to the top and bottom portion right there I

top and bottom portion right there I

top and bottom portion right there I don’t see any other way to turn it on

don’t see any other way to turn it on

don’t see any other way to turn it on while it’s inside of the actual mask the

while it’s inside of the actual mask the

difficult and I’m try and show you where

difficult and I’m try and show you where I’ve done it on mine so you can see that

I’ve done it on mine so you can see that

I’ve done it on mine so you can see that there is a wire attached here and here

that in the display goes on and when you

that in the display goes on and when you hold it again turns off so the wires are

hold it again turns off so the wires are

hold it again turns off so the wires are actually traveling through this little

actually traveling through this little

actually traveling through this little groove here there’s a little hole I

groove here there’s a little hole I

groove here there’s a little hole I don’t know if that’s easy as see let’s

don’t know if that’s easy as see let’s

don’t know if that’s easy as see let’s try and focus on that but there’s a hole

try and focus on that but there’s a hole

try and focus on that but there’s a hole right here and the rest just goes into

right here and the rest just goes into

right here and the rest just goes into this little pocket now I’ve already

this little pocket now I’ve already

this little pocket now I’ve already explained that the part that you’re

explained that the part that you’re

explained that the part that you’re probably wondering is where does the

probably wondering is where does the

probably wondering is where does the wire go so right here you can see it’s

wire go so right here you can see it’s

wire go so right here you can see it’s connected to the board it’s going back

connected to the board it’s going back

connected to the board it’s going back into the mask and then back through that

into the mask and then back through that

into the mask and then back through that hole that I just showed you it’s on both

hole that I just showed you it’s on both

hole that I just showed you it’s on both sides same thing here with the wires

sides same thing here with the wires

sides same thing here with the wires going back across kind of like

going back across kind of like

going back across kind of like sunglasses on this it’s going over the

sunglasses on this it’s going over the

sunglasses on this it’s going over the ear and right back there okay and then

ear and right back there okay and then

ear and right back there okay and then there is this wire that just goes into

there is this wire that just goes into

there is this wire that just goes into this hole and just lays right on top of

this hole and just lays right on top of

this hole and just lays right on top of there and you can just jam it into that

there and you can just jam it into that

there and you can just jam it into that little groove and to close this thing up

little groove and to close this thing up

little groove and to close this thing up you just would push these pieces back in

things pretty durable and that’s it boom

things pretty durable and that’s it boom beautiful so I was gonna go like full

beautiful so I was gonna go like full

beautiful so I was gonna go like full throttle wrench and add like all the

throttle wrench and add like all the

throttle wrench and add like all the weird

weird

weird punky spikes and have this thing but it

punky spikes and have this thing but it

punky spikes and have this thing but it just ended up looking like crap I mean

just ended up looking like crap I mean

just ended up looking like crap I mean that’s not the right size then I tried

that’s not the right size then I tried

that’s not the right size then I tried making like a stencil and adding like

making like a stencil and adding like

making like a stencil and adding like this type of thing to it it just did not

this type of thing to it it just did not

this type of thing to it it just did not work there’s not enough adhesion and

work there’s not enough adhesion and

work there’s not enough adhesion and then plus whenever you add the spikes to

then plus whenever you add the spikes to

then plus whenever you add the spikes to this sort of foam with the sticky

this sort of foam with the sticky

this sort of foam with the sticky adhesive back it pulls away and creates

thinking that this was wrench and I think that this is a really good

think that this is a really good

think that this is a really good tutorial if you want to create a wrench

tutorial if you want to create a wrench

tutorial if you want to create a wrench mask I don’t think anyone’s gonna stop
