In this informal YouTube monologue, the creator demonstrates how he carves figurines out of polyurethane (Styrofoam) as a personal hobby. He explains that he first sketches designs directly onto the foam, then uses a sharp carving knife to cut the shapes, and finishes the pieces with latex or spray paint—warning that spray paint can dissolve the material. He recommends using foam at least two inches thick to avoid damage. The speaker discusses his background as a drawer and occasional sculptor, noting he feels more comfortable with clay but enjoys the therapeutic aspect of foam carving. He envisions using the finished pieces as decorative, stone‑like accents on his house, possibly for murals or wall hangings, and hints at creating future how‑to videos. The video ends with a typical call to like, subscribe, and stay tuned.

polyurethane, uh, styrofoam. And, uh, you know, just basically this is something I did the other day. Uh, um, I love working in this stuff, but it's really messy. As you can see, it gets really, really, really, really messy. And what I'm doing here is I'm just carving various figurines out of, uh, out of the poly urethane. This is my knight in shiny armor. And what I do, guys, is, uh, I just use a good— well, I draw, I, I, I draw something. I'm not the greatest artist in the world, but, uh, uh, I draw along the polyurethane, you know, and I draw the, you know, images, whatever images I want to make in it. And then what I do is I take me a good little sharp carving knife here, and then you can just do all kind of cool, uh, designs through the, through the polyurethane. And, uh, I used to consider myself somewhat an artist, uh, but, uh, you know, I always like to sculpt, and I'm actually probably better with clay, molding clay, I think, than than, uh, you know, trying to carve, uh, you know, in inside the polyurethane. But, uh, what I do, guys, is after that I usually use like some latex paint, um, even some, uh, spray paint. You got to be careful with the spray paint, with the spray paint, uh, because, uh, it will actually dissolve it. But I get the— I try to get the thick grade, at least 2 inches 2 inches thick at least, you know, of this stuff. And, uh, I'm just making— uh, this is gonna be like for, uh, gonna go on, um, certain sides of my house to make it look like ancient times a little bit, have like cool looking figurines. As you can kind of see, it kind of resembles like a stone, so you kind of fool people with it too. So I really enjoy doing stuff like this as a hobby, guys. I'll probably do some how-to videos later on, you know, how to do it or something like that. Just a little hobby of mine, just me trying to be a little bit creative here, you know. But if you, if you're already an artist, you know, I don't really consider myself an artist. I just find doing this therapeutic. I'm a, you know, I'm a half-decent drawer when I really focus and want to be, but You know, if you consider yourself like that, uh, you— this will be something fun and great to do. And you can hang them on your walls in your house. You can do a lot of cool stuff with it. You could do murals and things like that. Uh, guys, that's all I wanted to show y'all today about some of the hobbies I do. I had told a few of you guys, rather, on, uh, Steamed and different places, uh, you know, I like to do things like this as a hobby. And design these, uh, things and various things like that.
