Masks and armor on the wall, tools on the bench. Learn the builds (foam, LEDs, weathering) and print the sheets that keep a build on schedule.
The stage cycles real workshop builds — heat guns, foam cuts, LED wiring — silent, always changing. Underneath: the wall feed in three columns, endless, with build sheets and news slotted between the builds.
Fresh from the shop
App notes, new build sheets, what the along is building — the store sells; this is the knowledge side.
New: the workshop site is open — free build sheets, the cue mapper, and why sound makes a costume read.
Now printing: the seven-zone cue-map blank, the LED battery cheat, the build log, and the gesture calibration card.
First Friday of the month — one cue pack and one build, everybody. next drop: loading…
Interactive: the LED fade curve, the servo sweep, the gesture flash — animated, with step controls.
The wall
The build crafts, hung where you can see them. The app, CosNFX, is the performance side — thirty character kits free, Pro for custom cues, timelines and linked props.
Long-form, tested — the tools and settings that work, and the fixes for the parts that go wrong.
Foam choice, heat forming, bevels and the glue that holds — plus priming and the metal paint job.

The store sells the app seat and the gear. This side is the craft: free sheets, video, tools and games.
Map gesture zones to cues in the browser — hear the previews, print the setup, rebuild it in the app.
Real shops cutting foam and wiring props on nine channels — and two workshop games that drill the timing.
Guides, the wiki, and the electronics: volts, amps, latency — the physics that makes cues land.
Email with LIST in the subject — build sheets and cue packs as they land. No spam; there's a build schedule to keep.
The app: cosnfx.store — free with character kits; Pro is one purchase.
The bench family
CosNFX Play sits with the maker apps — the costume bench of the family: foam and props here, fabric and bands next door, ferments in the cellar.
The app: gestures fire sounds and visuals on a Wear OS watch — 30 character kits free.
🫧Kandi cuffs to rivoli bezels — eleven bead crafts with real charts.
🧶Capes and robe bands: tablet weaving, macramé, alphas — real drafts.
🫙Ferments and brews with the math on every label — "12% salt" says 12% of what.
🌍The live Earth on a desk globe — and the day/night terminator for a Tron build.
🫧The slime & squishy site that started the family — recipes, games, curriculum.
