Awesome stuff, love it! From a safety perspective consider getting a smaller knife when doing wood shavings. You’ll have more control over the knife, easier to sharpen, and it reduces the chance of getting hurt. You do you though, just a general concern haha.
@@Carpetcleanerman You're probably not into miniature painting then. An exacto knife wound is easily glued up with super glue, though. So no worries - we only have multiple scars on our hands. :p
You have a really good balance between imagination, creativity, manual skills and going into action !! Your Vids are very stimulating for me !! Many thanxx to you
Hotel key cards are a really good source of sturdy plastic. If you ask politely, the front desk people will give you some. I always keep a stack of those in my tool box for blades and other thin things I want made of something sturdier than card stock.
Hi Bard, you are my favourite crafting channel now. It’s official. I’ve been making scratchbuilt dioramas for a few years now but I’m always interested in new tips and methods. Your channel has lots of them and all done with a great sense of humour. Well done mate. 👍😁
I love the inspiration that you have brought back to the community. Alot of other crafters have burnt out but here you are doing fresh stuff. And it's very inspirational, keep up the work man we appreciate it
Great spikes [with highlighted edges]. You managed to paint [second time around!] a pine/fir cone & add it to the terrain without it looking like a kid's school xmas decoration - you had me worried for a second!
I just finished a hags hut with mostly stirring sticks, card stock, a old egg carton and cardboard also some flocking and paint. It's amazing what you can make with just practically free things. I also used thin plastic to make some stain glass windows.
As someone who plays a bard, I must applaud your choice of username, and second, I am totally geeking out about all this neat stuff, I really want to try my hand at crafting!
man, you've got yourself a sub. the irony at the start of the video had me laughing for a couple mintues! awesome way to deliver the content, keep it up!
Love the content and humor! I’ve really enjoyed watching your spell creations. Not sure if there is a video or not for it, but I would like to see how you might make some creatures, perhaps a gelatinous cube?
I cam currently building my version of your Dragon's Gorge and am using walnut shells for about 80% with bark mixed in as well. Fingers crossed and keep crafting, you've got a great skill.
So much attention to brushing noises, lovely! Now you just need to make a 10 hour loop and upload as soothing, sleep-inducing ambience. Also, bonus points for casually switching from knife to arming sword like it's no one business. Boxknives are for peasants!
Hey! I saw your skeletons in one of the videos and I notice they are the same ones I bought BUT you put them on a new base! You should do a video on those skeletons, they are cheap but the base sucks. Would love a link to the bases you used.
"First I carved this spiky pillar from this dried but not rotten stick" 3:11 *starts carving with a sword* ... are you single? And maybe even slightly gay? Asking for... reasons.
Great work, man. If you want to save time for your basing, make a textured paint mix; Basing material, non-diluted PVA, Paint. Keep it in an airtight tub (absent water, which may cause mould if not ionised). Then simply paint it strait onto your bases for a much faster process. I like how you use easily attainable materials, I did the same with my Warpstone tokens video (using green seaglass) for Mordheim: th-cam.com/video/cIyKUE5Mqe0/w-d-xo.html
I might, try some kind of homemade texture paint. Quickly skipped through the video, looks good with the tea. Btw if you want to do more videos, you should really consider upping the quality by editing, different camera angles, voice-over etc. It makes a exponentially huge difference. That is, if you want to take TH-cam seriously. You have some good simple crafts :) Growth is always exponential.
@@BardsCraft Thanks, man. High praise. I work fulltime so it's really just a hobby at this stage (ergo, it's not a serious pursuit presently). Just looking to help out fellow crafters with unique ideas & affordable takes for what can otherwise be a pricey hobby. I'm in it for the community & to help spur others on (like your awesome self) so they can watch a vid in the background whilst they hobby

I have more control of the sword!
I appreciate the concern, and anyone who tries something similar should think of safety first.
@@BardsCraft :) anyways, what type of cutting sounds would a smaller knife produce? If any......
@@Carpetcleanerman You're probably not into miniature painting then. An exacto knife wound is easily glued up with super glue, though.

the comedy alone is worth returning
Maybe one of the most useful and original hobby channels in YT. And the humour is TOP...
This is one of my favorite channels lately.
Matt Becker same, it’s so relaxing!
Honestly same
Yup!
I love his attitude
Thanks, that's good to hear :)
I'm just waiting the day this guy makes a demogorgon out of a stick
he's sort of the mcgyver of terrain making
You have a really good balance between imagination, creativity, manual skills and going into action !! Your Vids are very stimulating for me !! Many thanxx to you
The brushing noises made the video.
I do so love watching you have fun doing this.

I really like your narration. Also the focus on making stuff from cheap things. Peasant budgets are no object here.

Man... you're a great entertainer... this has become my instant favorite channel!
Great spikes [with highlighted edges]. You managed to paint [second time around!] a pine/fir cone & add it to the terrain without it looking like a kid's school xmas decoration - you had me worried for a second!
I was first a bit worried about the pine cone base. Looks a bit like a kid's handcraft from day-care though
@@BardsCraft No, you managed to save it from that with your paint job!
Man, I like your videos SO much! Your work really inspires to craft something similar!
Dill & thyme. Very clever! I never would have thought of that.
I just finished a hags hut with mostly stirring sticks, card stock, a old egg carton and cardboard also some flocking and paint. It's amazing what you can make with just practically free things. I also used thin plastic to make some stain glass windows.
I always enjoy a good Forest admiration break 😂
So good! You’re always inspiring us to use what is already around us

9:55 I was painting a terrain piece and I absolutely lost it at retake Jerusalem xD So unexpected! No I gotta redo my piece!

@@BardsCraft Ah, I see you too are a man of culture :D
Nice work, as always. It was creative, informative, and entertaining all at the same time.
man, you've got yourself a sub. the irony at the start of the video had me laughing for a couple mintues! awesome way to deliver the content, keep it up!
Your videos are SUPER entertaining and I look forward to the next one. Glad I found your channel.
Cutting with the sword was a great touch!!
Love it all, your Scrounging Skills are A++ Keep up experimenting with new materials.

The crushed shells should work well!
You never fail to impress.
Can u do something without wood or xps foam because here in Dubai it's a dessert that happens to not have any xps foam or random wood pieces
That would be a challenge that I'd like to see.
Chop your dry sandals into flocking. But really, you can use sand, pebbles, food packaging, and cardboard.
So much attention to brushing noises, lovely! Now you just need to make a 10 hour loop and upload as soothing, sleep-inducing ambience.

Yeas filthy casuals with their factory sharpened box-cutters :D
I love this channel. So cool and useful.
Wonderful again. Just curious, what kind of camera do you use?
I use a Canon Powershot SX730 HS. It's pretty good as long as there is lots of light.
Stunningly simple
The intro gave me an idea.
Find a stick, make sure it's the right size
Slice it into 3-5mm [how thick is a base?]
Have pre'painted' bases for minis.
Thank you for your work
This budget builds, i love them
With the crosses,some hot glue would be the answer i think,nice ideas though.
I would like to see more traps...
Haha sometimes we are blind. Hot glue was the simple solution 👍
Awesome work. Very inspiring
Great ideas & the dill.. love the sarcasm 😀
Your really good, you'll make it. Just keep plugging along😁
"The cutting noises are better Love it!
This has probably been asked before but what ratio Pva glue to water do you use to dilute your glue for spraying?
Landlord: i wonder why all my pines are damaged even thought no incects
3:11 Oh my...
You give a surprise shot showing a sword
perhaps surprise sword flex is now a thing
@@BardsCraft hahahaha
Love the video keep up the good work

I have not painter or based the skellies. They are unpainted games workshop bases, nothing fancy
Old CD’s and DVD’s make great bases and they don’t warp 👍😁
Brad's you are genius
Now let’s retake Jerusalem-- runs away to go get sword and helmet
DEUS VULT!
DEUS VULT!
Crucem sanctam subiit...
You are hilarious.
Thanks for uploading.
SUBBED
Cant wait to retake Jerusalem with my newly-found hobby skills.
Remember, using bark rather than wood gives your crafts +2 Charisma
Спасибо за видео. Очень полезно.
What if someone lives at a desert then?
This one is great
I love this
Thanks.
"That's good." #catchphrase
Also "Do subscribe"
Also "sooweetable" (suitable)
"Spaghetti and Meeples" 😂😂😂

Did you ever post a video about how you sharpen your knives? My kitchen knife can barely cut a potato, nevermind BBQ sticks
@@mastergollum7491 thanks
@@mastergollum7491 Thank you.
now you just need to find a substitute for paint

Вау! Круто! Спасибо )
Exquisite WUUD
I don't know why but my favourite thing about your videos is the fact you're just using like kitchen knife all the time.
I come for the crafting tips.... I stay for the sound of drybrushing.
9:54 deux vult brother
Well yeah it's easy to find wood in Finland but what I you live elsewhere xD
I could listen to you talk forever. You could make a electronics operational manual read aloud entertaining.
Hah thanks! I have been working on my voice and "moral comprehensiveness" so this confirms it's working 🙂
I do have to apologise for the English language, thyme is pronounced the same as time.
Get u a man that has this
A sword
I've got thyme on my hands.
This guy uses a long sword. Challenge accepted.
you kick ass

The only problem is that I don't have an professional knife for crafts
i bought one of the big ones like the bard has to cut the thick pink foam. exacto knife wasn't cuttin' it.
A random sword appears!
but what about people who live in the desert and can't find wood? teach us to make cactus flocking!
They can chop up their dry sandals to make flocking
c u t t i n g n o i s e s
Meat cleaver for that good chopping
Amzaing
😀😀
No excuses!!!! Just go on a hike or something. Get some crafting material!
Lets retake Jerusalem
Varmaan Suomalaisin video mitä youtubesta voi löytää.
Onko 😂
@@BardsCraft ainut mikä tästä vielä suomalaisemman on et tekisit kääpiöille saunan.
The dill will smell horrible in time, I would not recommend it
I like you and black magic.craft, but you really make it look like an average guy with no tools can do this
Thanks! I think its important to show that the crafting doesn't have to be taken too seriously
