Easy Evil Dead Chainsaw Hand PROP Ash Williams Cosplay - DIY Tutorial
135Welcome to my yearly cosplay video. Hope I didn't traumatize you with my dumb intros/outros. There is only one Bruce Campbell, and my impression doesn't do him nearly enough justice. Forgive me, o internet.
These cosplay tutorials are some of the most challenging to make and take the most resources, effort, and time, so your support means the world to me.
Materials used to create this Prop (I was able to get everything around $50, not including paint/glue/various hardware, buy specialty hardware, like the large hex nut and bolt, by the single piece at stores to save more money):

From any store, get one with removable labels
