For those of you who have played the "Twisted Metal" games, the live action is pretty fun. I run a blacksmith/specialty shop and sometimes I get to put things in the movies. This is Sweet Tooth threatening Anthony Mackie. I got to make that sword!
Here's the blade before "age and dirt" treatment. Made of 7075 T6 aluminum and pecan wood handle. Not exactly high end knife making but how fun!
This little hatchet is one of mine too. I never get told exactly how they are used so its cool to see them pop up as Im watching the show.
They needed "little axes" with "junk" on them. I get to do some pretty awesome stuff. I was recently nominated (in proxy at least) for the Prop Master's Guild "McGuffin Award". I love these fun diversions from real work.

I still can’t get over that Samoa Joe is the one playing Sweet Tooth

Where is Harold? :)

I didn't even know they made a show of it

Fucking cool!

This show has no right to be as good as it is. It's funny, full of action, and the actors, the costume, set, and yes, weapon designers, did an amazing job all around. I'm hyped for the next episodes!
TrentonTye
Its a rare gem. So happy to have been a part of it

It's a great show. The finale in season 1 was awesome ("Heard you got a beef with Stone!" "Beef? I got a whole butcher shop") and season 2 is really good two. New episodes tomorrow I think

I really like these reality checks. You made that prop I might not have noticed and it took a lot of creativity and special skill. I love being made aware of such cool details! Thanks!
TrentonTye
Its ridiculous the work the crews put into a set only to have it seen for a few seconds. You talk about talented people!

You gave a SWORD to Samoa Joe?!

I am, in fact, and agent of chaos

I played that game with my friends A LOT. Closed my eyes and heared special weapons sounds.
relsky
Well that is just pretty freaking neat. Based on some of these comments, I'm gonna have to check out the show. My friends and I wasted MANY hours in this game.
TrentonTye
Wasnt much lore but the writers did one hell of a job weaving a story into it

#1 Joe's gonna kill you...

Rad work for a rad show! Did you also do Mr.Grimms scythe?
TrentonTye
Didnt get to work on season 2 but I may be reaching out for 3

Season 2 we shot up here in Toronto Canada. And season 3 looks like it’s coming back here too. I was trying to figure out who you were. Until you mentioned season 1. Cause in 2. We made most of the weapons in house.
TrentonTye
Every season has new crew and I may not know the new prop master. Its a weird business world
TrentonTye
Ha! They did use the other hatchets I made! Im actually finishing the show just now.

That's so absolutely awesome, I'm so happy for you, good going!
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
I just binged most of season 2 yesterday. Fucking awesome work!!! I love those crazy weapons
barnwolf
They look so tiny.
TrentonTye
THEY WERE! I was like guys, these are too small to do anything. Welp, thats what the client ordered!

Love the aging. Really looks like they've been strapped to the saddlebag of a bike for the past few years, exposed to the elements.

OP going for the triple dip for upvotes lol jk jk
KarenFromTheHOA
They made hatchets and other blades, so I'll allow it.

Sweet(Tooth)! Thought the show and world building was great considering the limited source material. Your props look amazing. Sounds like a 'best day at work ever' kind of situation. 😉
TrentonTye
Im lucky but I get a lot of those
NorthernHalibut
That’s so cool! I’m just watching the show now, midway through season 2. That sweet-tooth machete really caught my eye. Excellent work and congrats on a sweet gig!
KarmaciouS
Underrated serie for sure

I only have limited knowledge from twisted metal on ps1 and twisted metal black on ps2. Really enjoyed the show though, seeing familiar cars and characters. Hoping the show keeps doing well.
Feralkyn
That is REALLY cool, OP!

When preggers with my son 25 years ago, I'd play a lot of video games because I felt so round. I remember playing twisted metal and when the show came out I was so excited. It is (to me) even better than I could have imagined. Hilarious and weird, and the costumes and props are fantastic!
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Fun Fact, that's not technically "Sweet Tooth"; that's the name of his ice cream truck! The character's name is Needles Kane, at least in the lore. Great job on the weapons, by the way! That junky machete is nasty and I love it! :D
ErwiinMadness
Dude, I envy your job. Loved that serie and the props are something I've really fancied.
TrentonTye
Ive gotten to take reality for a ride doing this stuff. Today, Im making BIG axes for a new period series on netflix. Its not a bad life
ErwiinMadness
Wow that is awesome. Best of luck to you!

What's Harolds weapon of choice?

A fart

I've been loving the show. Thanks for working on it!
Arcanum3000
Nice! I've heard the show is actually good, which is insane given what Twisted Metal is.
TrentonTye
-I- didnt realize how good the show was and I worked for it
moonweasel
First season is entertaining, really kicks off once Sweet Tooth turns up. Haven't hit up S2 yet.
Cholf
Amazing adaptation. You can tell the writers know and love the source material.
ThatHurts
I think shows like fallout really pushed the idea that being faithful to source is better than imposing their own vision. Why it took this long to figure that out bottles the mind. Looking at you, Ready Player One.
TrentonTye
Its almost like they listened to fans
Feonir44
Always curious to the design side of it, like how long did it take to do it all, what made you go with what you did etc.
TrentonTye
So, they laughably rely on me as an "expert". They give me the basics and I make stuff from there. Sometimes it hits, sometimes not and we just narrow it as we go
