I love the footage of the design process and workflow instead of just copying the staircase design plans that are already online on woodworking forums and 3D print pages. I mean, it is still a similar end product but we get to see the shop creative process almost live.
i really enjoy seeing the design process. PLEASE more of this in the future! it is so interesting and cool to see how y'all solve problems for real.
I love seeing Bennet's process! I also like seeing Johnny designing solutions. It is great to see people progression over the years and great that Wyrmwood has room to allow employees to explore, develop and move up in the company
if there was a way to get the dual dice tower idea to work it would be amazing for crucial opposing rolls. Would be amazing to have for those tense moments to roll vs your dm
I wonder if they did something like a split feed part way through, so down the middle there was a divider and then half tilts one way and half the other
Or they could make a double wide of their original dice tower. One facing forward and the other facing back
Dueling Towers!
any advantage and disadvantage roll would be awesome too
@@JanKenk it's wide enough that they could split it down the middle and have them spit out sideways away from each other at the bottom. Perfect for the Hexy tray (probably not for other trays)
This episode really made me realise how creative Bennett is at solving prototype issues and also making products that are desirable/customisable
Bennet is the new Jason
I love seeing the product prototyping, more of this please!
This episode may me smile just about the whole way through. Definitely a great pick-me up to start the weekend right!
If I were to buy this, I would want a top section with crenellation or some other aesthetic topper
Yes! I want my tower to look like an actual castle tower!!
crenels and corbels.
if they weren't there, I would 3d print something to fit
Could we, perhaps, possibly, have...
MACHICOLATIONS!?
that wouldn't be genre-neutral though
@@OrphicMonkey seen crenels all over warhammer-- it's just architecture
What can I say, I'm a simple person.. I see Benny.. I click.
Love his work and cant wait for more. Seeing his process was awesome and I hope we will see more in the future!
This guy - you can just read the happiness he feels working on this and having his vision come to life. I will always respect and love people are this passionate about what they are doing, and I gotta say this guy probably needs a promotion just for his wonderful attitude
Absolutely love the crafting and design episodes, its so cool to see the problem-solving and progress and how these products are really put together with care and love of design. I miss the crafting vids of how each product was made, and every so often I'll rewatch the crafting vid of Matt's DM screen. More process & crafting vids please! We love them!
The design and woodworking episodes are a lot of fun, there's been so much business end content recently.
Call me crazy but I think this is one of the best videos I’ve seen lately, I love the process and seeing Bennett going through his creative flows and would love to see more designers going through these processes.
Yeah great craftsmanship. Awesome shots. Seeing the progression. It's like the old school videos they used to do
Dude u should have a full blade on the outsides of ur dado stack. Ima need 2 come up there
Is that so? why is that, if you dont mind me asking?
Also, congrats on your nuptials!
@@IamNOTatoaster91 safety. You usually never use chippers only. They’re typically sandwiched between full blades. But don’t quote me, do your own research if you plan on using them.
@@IamNOTatoaster91 For a cleaner cut at the edges. My dado stack has about 3/4 of the rim toothed, with a gap for the fillers to stack without grinding teeth.
I think we need a dedicated segment called Designing with Bennet or something like that. Or even a separate channel for woodworking basics of something. Man, you guys could even sell little projects for people to do at home along with some videos.
The dueling tower is such a RAD idea!!
And that closing shot!!! Im impressed you attempted it!
I could watch Bennett design things all day. Please make more of these. Or give him a show.
This is kind of the idea
I think seeing the design process is one of my very favorite things on this channel. Can't wait for DM screen development :)
A mix of these focused videos and general shop updates/discussion/antics, is a golden formula.
Modular Dice tower...i hope you do Toppers for it with different themes...like different castle tower tops. Like 1 covered in vines and flowers, 1 that is clean, and 1 that is battle damaged maybe...i'm sure there's lots of other ideas for Tower toppers.
As a DM and hoarder of minis, what I need is a box that can hold foam trays. I use the Gameplus trays. That are pretty awesome and modular (this seems like RIGHT up y'all's alley). They make fabric bags to tote these around but they're not pretty to look at. I would love love LOVE a beautiful box that opens from the front (like their canvas bags). Would be cool to have a beautiful veneer like bird's eye maple on the front. I've thought about trying to make something like this but I can't quite solve the hinge. Unlike top opening boxes it really needs a front loading opening because otherwise it's hard to get a bunch of trays out. It's a hard design challenge and hoping you guys are up to it! DM me if you want a sketch.
Possibly my favourite episode of wyrmlife ever! Combining the discussion and sneak peaks of classic wyrmlife with the crafting videos
This episode had it all: crafting, prototyping, testing, smiling jason, cool dice.
Definitely one of the top 5 videos you guys have made. It combines the craftsman videos with the wyrmlife vibe. More please! This video= *Chef's kiss
As an amateur woodworker, this was a blast to watch. Note the handsaw work at the end. You can have every tool in the world but more often than not, it comes down to the craftsman's hand and eye.
Damn it's fun watching Bennett work.
Legit getting more videos like this where we see the process of developing and finishing up a product, or even an idea of one is super cool and I hope you'll do more of this stuff
Its videos like this that make me appreciate how easy 3d print prototype is
I echo the desire for some sort of topper level that makes it look like some sort of tower.. whether crenellations or a wizard roof or something
Sounds like they could make a whole bunch of different styles kind of like the character classes. Princess turret with pointy roof would be fun. Treasure chest with flip open top.
You know, if you put a band around the top of each modular piece, including the base, that sat up higher than the edge of the section, it would hide the lines where the pieces join up. You could do different looks for different classes. Hefty iron for dwarves, light scroll work for elves, etc.
YES! A 20 second drop for a critical save/death save; the suspense will be KILLER!!! I have faith that a beautiful form will evolve from this functional design. OH! How about a musical dice tower, like a wooden wind chime? That would be AWE-MAZING! Watching the organic design process was inspiring, fired up my 3D printer to make stuff again. Thanks!
I have 0 craftsmanship, artistic ability. But watching Bennett work is honestly so mesmerizing
I would just love to see more Bennet! This is my favorite Wyrm Lyfe episode to date
All of the design work is great. I love watching Johnny, Bennet, and Crazy Ed do some magic with a saw, then something awesome comes out.
Please please please keep showing us the design process, that was insanely fun to watch!!
These are my favorite types of Wyrm Lyfe episodes. Perfect blend of problem solving and design from a master craftsman.
YES! I think this may possibly be the best video you have ever posted. Loved everything about this
Absolutely loved this video. It's great seeing the personality behind the craftsman, their design process, and we get to feel the excitement of how a product is being invented. Also, that ending footage was so relatable. Lol
Absolutely would LOVE more of these. It's amazing to see the craftsmen behind your products and the work they put into creating something genious.
Bennett at work. My favorite Wyrmwood videos.
Yes Bobby!!!!!! I'm waiting for the episode where you stack the tower to the roof and drop dice all the way down. Seeing the design process is great and loved the music accompanying each bit.
I'm just back here again watching Bennett make dice towers. This is so satisfying.
Bennett is a genius and probably my favourite of the designers.
This has to be one of the best videos and I love WyrmLife. Seeing the design process and going from step to step was amazing.
I know not every episode can be this involved with creating a new product but this was great I really enjoyed getting to see Bennett work and watch all Wyrmwood's ideas come to life. Great episode probably one of my favs.
Few things more satisfying than seeing design iteration solving a problem.
This was one of the best episodes ever! So inspirational to see a craftsman at work.
watching the design and creativity with actual materials errors and successes makes this much more engaging!
I could watch these types of videos all day!! I loved the rain noise of the first one..
This is why I can't wait to watch every new video. Outstanding content done by outstanding people. Thanks!
NGL, I think I enjoyed seeing the prototyping process more than anything else, recently. That was really interesting and entertaining.
I love these woodworking videos the most.and the r &d process is inspiring!
I LOVE the videos showing the team making products like this! So satisfying
I loved watching Bennett come up with the new tower. And I giggled watching the extra subscribe clip at the end.
I think this might be my favorite episode of the season! So satisfying and interesting to see the design take shape. Also I love how the dice tower sounds.
I fuckin love how Bennett’s mind works. Seeing this process makes me love WW all the more than I already did!
I love the photography in all of the sawing shots! More of this please!
this is so satisfying to watch the creative process at work, could watch this over and over!
I would watch episodes of just Bennett and Jonny building things.
Never used a dado stack before and that was honestly the most informative 15 seconds I've ever seen
I think you can get the best of both by starting with tight steps, then ending with harder angles to gain momentum and shoot out. The rainforest sounding spiral is really great and I'd hate to lose it
It’s amazing to watch Bennet work, he’s so skilled and creative, he’s one of the keys to Wyrmwood’s success with his innovation!
The different woods for the other sections is what is getting me excited.
I tell people about how good Wyrm Lyfe is and no one listens, I am probably "crazy Wyrm guy" at this point. Great episode, love seeing the process.
Bennett really showing why he is one of the best at the shop. Nice episode.
This episode is awesome. Would love to see more like these explaining ideas to final product .
That dice tower is prime real estate for some dope artwork
I love the modular dice tower. The rain stick sound is sooooo satisfying.
My only concern is how thin the bottom plate is at the exit. Someone could easily drop that from a low height and have that break off.
All I wanna do is *gunshot* *gunshot* *click* *cash register noise*. Iconic.
Love the creation/design videos! Was I the only one thinking about the geometry and math of it all when he was trying to get the angles right to propel the dice out of the tower? My brain stopped being able to math when the numbers turned into letters in school so the whole time I was watching I kept thinking "If I only knew how to make letter math work I'd know how/why the different angles worked!" Who knew you'd actually use that type of math after high school. Awesome video!
Love seeing the entire design process from planning to making. And its also super satisfying when the wooden towers roll out flat before it needs to be glued.
I have an awesome idea! Since it's hex you can make it a dice tower AND a new type of hexy tray. Here's what I'm thinking...
You'll have two parts. The bottom and the stackable barrels. As we've learned, barrels really only need two platforms to bounce well. If you want more you can stack them. Exactly the way he designed is perfect. My idea is all for the bottom.
First, get rid of the first two platforms on the bottom. It should just be the ramp. This will also justify the modularity. The tower you currently have designed doesn't actually need the extra barrels. Next make it thicker. Elevate the ramp up higher. Since it's a little higher you'll want a shallower angle which will also help with the next idea.. Flip it over and make it.. *drumroll.. THE DEEP DISH* hexy tray.
Now, if you don't need a rolling tower it doubles as a very predominant and elevated dish for a large shared bank of tokens.
'
And since it's a hex tray now you might even be able to add the compatible connecters as well. It would be easy for the bottom. The top would be tricky but if you could make that work then you could use other hexy trays like the tavern tile as a lid. Not sure if that functionality is worth it but maybe.
The deep dish tray makes me think of the waffle tile, and doing a cast iron deep dish tray, that you can make Hexy Time Hexagonal pizza in. ;)
@@jonevansauthor Thin crust uber alles.
That said, Tory got a good point.
@@brucemaximus3797 Thanks, I just drafted it up in tinker cad and im gonna email it. It too good of an idea for me to not throw it at them.
I know why everybody uses dado stacks like those, but in 4 years of cabinetry we have always used 50T full kerf with racker teeth and spacers if we wanted to be exact. They give such a clean edge, unless it’s plywood or mdf, than forget it
So what could be cool for the dice towers and modularity is making like a little lid/topper in the style of a wizards tower, maybe help it fit in with the wild monsters theme that was in one of the recent campaigns. When I saw the tower getting larger with the modular aspect it just made me think of Orthanc and Isengard. Could be pretty sick
I don't think it can be understated just how cool it is to see craftspeople work. I love seeing the design process and it'd be interesting to see the workflow of others in the shop.
Okay, I have an idea. Hear me out.
I've hoped for a long time that you'd develop a table accessory where you can connect a tabletop tile (or several) to the table's magnetic rail. But you could kill two birds with one stone if this hex tower also had magnets to connect it with the tabletop tiles system, assuming it could be the same dimensions. Then you can put the hex tower in facing different directions by re-orienting the hex, but the same table accessory would allow you to insert whatever tabletop tile you wanted. Additionally, this means the hex tower would click into a set of tabletop tiles.
Sure, you wouldn't be able to smoothly rotate the tower, but I think this would provide more options with fewer SKUs. Just a thought.
Epic!!! Love the stackable idea! You can have many different styled stacks for each one. Brilliant!!!
Nice process. very entertaining. you could even sell a line of modular tower segments that would allow the DM to keep track of time for the Players' day in 6 four-hour sections like Dawn, Morning, Day, Sunset, Evening and Night with a base called Time. Each segment would be decorated and stained to resemble it's period of time. You're welcome! Keep up the great work.
I really like seeing the design stuff, its intricate, and you can see how much Bennet likes doing the designing and prototyping
Dice rolling down the tower is music to my ears😌
i'd love to see bennet test it with different materials of dice and a nice durability test.
I'd also love to see him design an insert for the party tray that make full use of its space for games that might not require a dice tray
RIP rainstick sounds :(
Oh wait, their back :)
I'd love to see Bennet make some sort of showcase platform for miniatures. Something I can put on a shelf or in a glass case where my most prized miniatures can stand on and look cool. Something like the olympic pedestal or along those lines.
I want this so much especially with the party tray I have a big idea for my home game. This is a great idea especially with adding more layers!
I would like a thicker base for more bounce. Yep. The rain stick sound is pretty damn awesome. Adding a topper with a dice release to allow all dice to roll together would be cool.
Love the stackable concept. How insane would it be to make the modular toppers "tuned" to different pitches or timbres? Maybe different hardwoods, thicknesses, cutouts, etc. Not so far as a marimba tone, but just maybe a selection of general "tones" to make a giant tower even cooler and more personal than just the height of it.
Maybe have something like Classic Adventuring Party version?
I'm not really into having a (loud) dice tower blocking part of the view in the party tray but interesting to see the design process anyway. More of these kind of videos please.
This is by far one of my favorite videos wrymlife has ever produced! Love the creative process being shown to the consumer!
that sound is incredibly satisfying
this has got to be one of my fav episodes so far
Okay, that's pretty damn cool. I can see a base, a top without the groove, and then expandable middle pieces in different wood types in my head already
I had to revisit this but I absolutely love this idea still, also that sound is super satisfying! I love the idea of stacking them like that lol
Bennet is a god among men with R&D. Love the explanations of his design process!
More of this kind of stuff. This is what I wanna see!
That last bit with trying to dot the i had me in stitches!
Lovin the benny beard and mustache. Just when you thought the purple man couldnt get any cuter.
This video was a pleasure to watch and I wished it had never ended. I would love more videos like this, seeing the process of creating new designs. Also, the episode didn't jump around the shop and focused solely on Bennet's process, which I thought was great.
If you release those add on disks with a commemorative date/logo, Bennet just made you a lot of money on a regular basis. Collector’s items. I’d get one every year for Christmas.
This is the best video you’ve put out in a LONG time!!
Absolutely love videos that track the progress of developing projects, especially just seeing how Bennett’s mind works 😂
