SiliCon with Adam Savage hosted its first virtual Maker Workshop, led by the King of Makers himself, Adam Savage! In this live-streamed workshop, Adam walked participants through building a cardboard helmet. Each participant of the live-streamed workshop received a physical box that included perforated laser-cut cardboard used to build the helmet. This podcast episode reviews the event, and briefly shares insights into using cardboard as an option for cosplay builds.
