man, this is awesome. I love how you add the image to the wood. Some days ago I decided to create my custom dm screen and I recicle some plastic from a drawing folder from my art school. I can't use this technique this time, but I definetly want to try it in the future :)

[@wanderingarielle4796]

This is crazy, I had no idea you could transfer laser prints onto wood like this. Thank you so much!!!

[@JCRandom]

Its a little time-consuming to remove the paper but its worth the effort. I guess if you have actual modpodge at hand it should be even faster and look better.

[@CloydRoyal]

Beautifully done!

[@gokuwrightattorneyatlaw5227]

I love your dm screen. I like the that its homemade because some of us can't afford the cool fancy ones. They too are a beautiful work of art but I will always appreciate homemade art works like this. You did a great job.

The goat leather is a friggin awesome idea

[@hobbitnest]

This is really great work! Also, I'm glad I watched this as I'm also building a wooden one with cork and would not have thought about the thickness of two layers when folding the screen. Now I can prepare for this.

[@ashleyhorton8406]

Incredible video! Thank you so much!

[@NexValentine]

Oh my god, this is amazing!! Am planning to build a dm screen with a friend, for our dm and will definitely use this!

[@johnclarke3543]

I liked your build. An alternative way of filling an oversized hole is a small piece of dowel or matchstick. You could always use bulldog clips to keep notes on the DM side of the wings, although they would diminish the look of it from the players perspective.

Thanks for the content.

[@dancdow]

awesome video. Very underrated channel. Keep it up, bro.

[@captcorajus]

That toner transfer to the wood blew me away. Will that only work with lazar printed pictures on will it also work with inkjet printers?

[@JCRandom]

Sadly it only works with lazer printers. Since its "ink" is more like a plastic it sticks to the glue and stays on the wood when paper goes away with the water. I tried with regular ink printers and the whole thing disapears after the water comes in...

I came for the video, I subbed becouse of the last sentence.

[@FantasyApprentice]

thank you so much, this is perfect. I'm going to make a costume DM Screen for my DM and he has no clue

[@Millions_Kevin]

great vid quick question where did you get the art you used for the front? :)

[@riskinitall4058]

Love the build. Do you have a link to the pictures?

[@JCRandom]

No! I finished it and gave it away like 2 hour later so I didnt have much time for much glamour shots asides from whats on the video =(

[@riskinitall4058]

Wow. Your build is amazing. Im about to make one myself and using yours as inspiration:) thanks for the tutorial:)

[@hemkeshashigari888]

Hey there.... I came here after visiting ur website.... I have a doubt. first, what are those drawings of yours.... I mean are those your own doing or did you just drew the original ones....!!??

[@samstapleton3739]

Instead of using mod podge can I use Elmer's glue or regular white school glue

[@JCRandom]

Sadly no. I tried and the glue just wont keep the toner stuck and just everything goes away with water.

[@samstapleton3739]

@@JCRandom so what other types of glues can I use will the gorilla glue resin work

[@samstapleton3739]

@@JCRandom I'm trying to deal with what I have around due to the pandemic

[@JCRandom]

@@samstapleton3739 yeap. Same here. I also didn't have ACTUAL mod podge (that isn't even for sale in this continent)... I had a box of very old very dusty pre-pandemic bottles of many kinds of random varnishes and glues and glues i bought at some point in the past, so i spent a couple of days testing all of them using small pieces of paper until i found one the worked similarly to modpoge.

[@samstapleton3739]

@@JCRandom thank you for all your help I'm going to try and do the same thing that you did I loved your DM screen is look the best out of all of them

[@RalphELee]

what transfer paper did you use dude ?

[@JCRandom]

It's very cheap printer paper and I used a modpodge-equivalent to transfer the photocopy toner to the wood. There are very good tutorials here on youtube, just search for "transfer photo to wood with mod podge"

[@MahkyVmedia1]

I've never used a screen

[@VengerSatanis]

Cha'alt!

[@JCRandom]

Hey! Thanks a lot for the comment! I've been very recently getting into OSR and indie rpgs and leave the trash of mainstream and I've re-found my love for table top gaming. I had never heard about your books but after several video reviews it seems VERY interesting so I'm going to Drive Throw RPG to get me some PDFs. Again, thanks fot the info!

[@VengerSatanis]

@@JCRandom No prob. Kort'thalis Publishing offers several free PDFs, as well. Enjoy, hoss!
