Make Your Own Infinity Gauntlet for Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Infinity War is in theaters on Friday, April 24, and Thanos is on people’s minds. Marvel’s big purple villain is trying to gather all the Infinity Stones for his Infinity Gauntlet, the prop at the center of the above how-to video. YouTuber Odin Abbott of Odin Makes received requests for an Infinity Gauntlet tutorial, so he scaled the gauntlet down to human size (a Thanos-size prop would be impossible to wear) and documented each step of the build. Odin started with a base of a welding glove, took some measurements, and made a paper pattern. He then used EVA foam floor mats to create the powerful gauntlet around and over the welding glove.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
