"...brushing was too slow, so I popped all the books in my mouth and gargled with darktone...done." seriously though, love your emphasis on efficiency. Bonus- these bookcases are good in any setting.
"... and then I discovered Nuln oil..." lol
The danger with this video is that, before it came out, I had no desire to craft tiny books for the tabletop. Now I must resist this sudden urge when I already have a bunch of other stuff half-done.
Looks spectacular though, and with such simple materials it looks really doable. Even making a quarter of those books and making some piles with scrolls for dungeon scatter would be a good project. And taking make one book and adding a transfer onto it for some arcane glyph instantly makes a macguffin the party will hone in on.
I have to say, army painters new finger paint line looks awesome!
"That's him officer, the man that strangled a clown, caught him rainbow handed."
Once you painted the symbol on the table, the light purple 'glow' suddenly popped, so that table ended up being my favorite! I ALWAYS love your videos - thank you so much!!!
Never would have thought anything like that with those vampire teeth. That's very creative.
100%, learning not to be afraid of color is one of the most important parts of crafting, and just painting in general. Even in the grimmest and darkest of settings, if you only use dark and drab colors, it will just make everything look muddy and washed out; adding a splash of color makes the entire piece pop, and even enhances the grimdark parts by giving them something to look grim and dark in comparison to.
I love how simple yet effective the desk is, the only thing missing is a quill and ink pot.
Big thanks to new friend of the channel: The Army Painter! www.thearmypainter.com/
The gemstones one the furniture!! Fuck! That's genius!
That hand washing technique was very effective! 😆
If you soak the popsicle sticks in water, or perhaps even just apply steam, you might be able to successfully bend them. The principle is the same as traditional steam bending in woodworking. Great video, as usual!
Wow! When Wyloch says he'll put a link onscreen...you better believe it!
Wyloch's Library!😎👍👍
I think i'll mix this with rp archive's magnet methods. I'll glue the books to each other and drill some magmets into them and hide magnetic strips in the furniture, that way i can stack it as needed for each scene.
Love it! That purple table is awesome. Vampire teeth?! Inspired!
I throw a lot of library encounters at my players (across genres!), so it’s time for me to get busy! Great video!
Sewing pins can function as great support(plus some details)
after 2 months a valiant return! haha I really dig the whole set. Your style has always been mostly fun and stylized which is what I like about it. "Cozy environments" When things are "simply" made and colored it makes you want to be in that place and stay for a while as opposed to something realistic and unnerving if that makes sense? You could probably do a sewer that I'd want to hangout in. That is your gift.
The open books would probably look really cool just by adding some waterslide transfers to the pages. You wouldn't have to go through the effort of painting text, but it would look like you did from a distance. Especially if you scratch out part of the transfer to break up the shape.
I definitely want to try this now lol
All of these are great but the hutch shelf thing is super awesome!
I have to vote for the plain-jane bookshelves. They look fantastic, they tell a story effectively, and they can port to most settings. I could easily drop those into a modern day investigative game. And players will never ask "What are those runes? Do I recognise them? Are they the sigil of some secret society? C'mon guys! Lets look for more of them!"
Drow table is my favorite! Although I'll make everything for my DnD game. They are all great! Thanks for the tutorial
Kick ass, I love the table with the curved back.
I'm going to craft these tiny books as tiny D&D books, with a drow crafting a tiny book on the cover.
Oh shit he's alive!
I like color too. And Army Painter is awesome paint.
The books were so simple, yet so effective. I appreciated the way you simplified the process as the video progressed and the tip on using bold colours! Cheers Wyloch!
I love the oval table with the backing - I'm going to try something like this for an Oblivion-style alchemy table.
Oooh gonna make some tiny books to go in a library for my post apocalyptic town
Glad and grateful for these. Got no gaming klatch to hang with, but it sure is nice to see these things made by those who do.
awesome details on this DnD Furniture. I really dig the oval table with the backdrop.
If you want to experiment more with bending wood, you can use a steam cleaner, a steam cooker, a clothing steamer or even the steam of a boiling pot of water to make the popsicle sticks flexible
I really appreciated this video. My favorite is the purple table but they all look great.
Totally worth the wait
Finally! Another video! I was beginning to go through a bit of Wyloch withdraw
About that section where you tried to bend that popsickle stick thingy, it should be doable.
Let it soak a bit in water, so the wood fibers get a bit more flexible.
(And boiling that stick and/or slowly bending it over boiling steam could make it more bendable. I don't know if hot/boiling water will help here, but I saw something like that used in old techniques to form wood)
Amen to the bold colors. The lighting at most game tables is always going to be underwhelming compared to how you're shooting that footage too, so any color pop to help players actually see what's going on is great.
You could try doing a dim and diffused top down light in your footage to have it look closer to how a gaming setup would look like.
Also, to bend popsicle sticks, wet them if not enough, several ways to do this but soak them, then microwave a min or so to steam them, or lol steam them in a steamer, you can also toss some in boil water then remove, dry and carefully work to bend it, keep it in shape and when they cool and if possible with rubber bands or little clips to hold overnight and then you have a dry curved stick you can now glue on.
I can’t tell you how excited I am to try to make these books. The navy blue ones are beautiful.
What a colorful offering today! So happy for another Wyloch's Armory vid while busy at the hobby desk 😁
Nice to see you back.
Beautifully messy!
Nice work (I especially like the Drow table).
Wyloch, to bend that piece of wood without having it snap like that, soak it in warm water. It will bend and you can have something holding it bent until it dries
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you
Those vamp teeth just REALLY reinforce the best first-step for a crafter; start a bits box. Just a shoebox full of tiny bits does absolute wonders for creativity.
I have missed your videos man! Good to see you back. And with something so cool!
You can use steam to bend popsicle/craft sticks into curved shaped. 🤘
9:52 I imagine someone has said this already, but just in case, you can definitely use popsicle sticks as backing! just soak the stick in warm water for several hours
I've had real mixed results with this. I may have been impatient.
Any tips?
Does the water need to stay warm the whole time?
For a better finish apply a matt medium/varnish with your airbrush, all over the furniture.
You can also use micro sol and micro set to get shine to disappear on those decals.
Wylock, Those books are cool, but you did it the hard way. Do the exact same thing, but wrap strips of poster board with construction paper instead. Then they will be easy to cut, you can skip the paint (construction paper comes in a wide variety of colors), and they can be hardened with a coat of mod podge. Foam and paper aren't quite as durable as card stock, but mine have held up for several years already and they are still fine.
If you soak the popsicle stick in water until it’s fully saturated and it will be more flexible. It’s the same trick I’ve used with actual lumber for years
I'd love to see another one if your home crafted modules Wylock. I think those 3 videos you made are my favourite.
Books. Quick books!!!
That crafting table looks awesome, I may have to make one of those.😁
Video Series Idea: You have a ton of D&D crafts... Use them. Create a D&D scenario/encounter using your crafts and post links to the videos of those crafts that you've already made... If you need inspiration, check out one page dungeons, or better yet Nerzugal's DM' tools and recreate some of those adventure scenarios.
Got lots of dungeon layouts and builds in my backlog. Three original ones plus tomb of horrors and white plume mountain.
Beautiful table!
this new style looks great
The round desk
Hey, I didn’t know you were a drummer! Me too! Even recorded an album with one of my bands.
Nice new sponsor!!! Wow 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😎🔥
Another great video. Thanks!
Okay I subbed not too long ago but I watched so much of your content already. It’s so so good. I have a feeling that playing a game under a dm like you must be a blessing
so a tip for making something that looks like leather, i came up with this about 15 years back when i was doing vampire bats for a GW army i had a bunch of wolf heads and tyranids bodys left over from other stuff so i make my own vampire bats with the tyranids small scything talons been used to make the wings along with my homemade leather type thing.
so its really easy you just need pva glue, some leather looking paint (at the time i used GWs snakebite leather as it was what i had) and something the glue can be peeled off of when its dry, mix the paint into the glue and spread it out to set up in roughly the shape you want and whalla something that looks a bit leathery you can then cut it with scissors to whatever shame you want (mine was the membrane of the bats wings) something that may go well this that Drow Ritual table is maybe cutting into a human shape to hit at the drow been a bit naughty and having it draped on something.
HA! I knew it! I watched you slowly painting these books one by one and I was waiting for your descent into madness until the time you began just pouring paint into your hand and shuffling things around lolol I knewwwww ittttttt! Lots of tedium here, great vid as usual. I bet your collection is becoming colossal at this point. Would love to see a terrain tour hah. Cheers!
I made a ton of books years ago (still have some!) with the paper centre made out of thin (1-2mm) white foam which I shaded then glued various colours of construction paper to, bypassing the painting step. All I had to do was paint markings on the spines of the books.
Ha! Ha! Nice Try, scammer!
Looks awesome :D Gave me a crazy idea, making a ton of books and using them as bricks to build a labyrinth of books :D Maybe casting them to avoid having to make the same thing over and over. Regarding the folding, maybe scoring the inside would make the fold easier?
how about a book golem? really like your idea too...!!!
@@mathiasschultz7745 Probably more feasible :D
I see you there Hermaeus Mora.
If you are looking to mass produce stacks of books, I have had great success with making columns out of XPS foam and building the spines and spaces between the books by sanding grooves with an emory stick.
@@lazarus845 Neat tip, thanks!
Looks great! Your imagination is never ending, and I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all of the work you put into these crafts and videos! My players love the stuff i put onto the table and more than half of it was inspired by you
Great effect!
Old magazines with the straight, flat spine. Chop away the pages until you've got the right width for your book, then start chopping again for the right height.
My favorite piece in the video is the oval desk. It is different from the normal square and rectangle designs.
The mass produced books are a great idea. Especially if they are going on a shelf.
Sooo nice! I’ll never make this but I sure do love watching you do it. Hehe…
Great video, absolutely loved it!
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
My favourite part was the Wyloch Stained fingers... really makes the scene :)
Awesome book shelves, they look great!!!
In order to see a drow elf laboratory table in a haloween vampire teeth you either have to be born with such a set of mind or graduate from a god knows what university :D.
Gerat job!
"I tried to bend one of these jumbo sticks but it was... It was not gonna happen."
Try boiling the popsickle stick for like 15 minutes in a pot of water.
Love the way those washes worked on the books!
I like versatility in the things I make, so when I crafted bookshelves, I measured the dimensions of the shelf spaces, then glued the contents of the shelves to each other, instead of the shelves, so that they fit the shelves dimensions, then slot them in to the shelves as needed.
This way, I can make only a few bookshelves, but lots of different things to place on them, so they can be used for taverns, libraries, evil sorcerers etc.
Just found your channel and now I'm binge-watching! So many great tips and ideas!
Here's a tip for making aged, weathered wood: mix cobalt blue and either sienna or umber acrylic paints, then thin with water to make a stain-wash. It dries to a warm grey-brown that looks exactly like weathered old wood that's been out in the harsh sun for years. The sienna gives the wash a warmer undertone than the umber.
Dude wash magic always amaze me
Awesome,I see we both have been busy.
How's the book coming along?
Keep up the good work.
You might be able to bend the sticks by getting it wet. I know you can do it if you wet, bend, dry, repeat but that could take days. It looks close enough you might be able to get it with one attempt at wet bending though.
The drow table was pretty great, but I think my favorite is the round, backed desk.
The are awesome, and surely add some richness to your games!
Nice use of olde GW Eldar transfers, man
For some bendable pieces like for the oval desk, cedar spills might work. Perhaps soaked in water and then PVA? I haven't tried it, but might be worth a shot.
Love this!😍👍👍👍
Bill, you have been missed...amazing job!!!!
Just form the thumbnail I decided I must make these. This is GREAT! (as well as looking much easier than the final product looks)
This is amazing, just what i needed. Love the channel it's a great ispiration. Thank you!
Thx Wyloch, again for all your hard work you put into these videos and your crafts. Besides the usefull tips and tricks you give, your videos work as some kind of therapy for me to get me trough a tough time.
i just want to thank you for your time and effort.
Nice work! I particularly appreciate your techniques for curved furniture.
Amazing work as usual. Your a real inspiration for us DM/Crafters. Setting the tone and atmosphere in a game makes amazing gaming memories,
Love these, if i wasnt watching these in bed, i'd go and dig out my glues and popsicle sticks right now. Keep up the great work!
This is amazing, the map I'm working on right now is a library. I am not going to make the book shelves, I made those already by printing book shelves images from Google and gluing them to chipboard and double corrugated cardboard. But I need to add books to the tables.
Love this!!! I've been trying to think of a way to get a good result quickly. Thank you Sir!
to bend the stick is to soak it in eater then steam bend it with a hair curler
Soaking the popsicle stick on warm water helps with bending - but does take time
une très belle réalisation la j'adore
