I have yet to watch one of your videos, and not be completely blown away! This video is no exception!! Mad skills sir!! I'm always inspired and motivated by your content!!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT yeah like how many centimeters wide and length thingy just so when I order I know the size and the videos really inspire me like the extra realism in your build is cool
@@dustinhernandez8214 Thank you. Well there are 9: 1" layers so that comes to 22.86cm in total thickness. Each layer is roughly 6"x11"... does that help?
lol! i am so crazy, i skipped this video and watched so many of your other ones because i don't usually enjoy book nooks, but this is another spectacular crafting video. you have so much patience!
Man that thing is brilliant!! Excellent idea, I’m so glad you actually built them to sell to real people (as opposed to um, imaginary ones I guess 🤔). I never would’ve know they existed without coming across this video. Now to formulate a plan!
All the little snow and ice bits are really impressive! I mean, the whole build is great, but it's the little details that sell it and they're all just spot on!
Thanks Olivia. I love the details as you know. I just wrapped up another build last night at 11 pm. I didn’t leave the shop till 12:30 adding little things here and there haha.
Yep, I can see the signature of Paladin Woodworking on that laser cut box with embedded lights. His work is just AWESOME. A great project. Congratulations to both of you. The adventurer in a bit of trouble. Depends greatly on the level of the adventurer and the quality of his gear.
Fantastic work. I have to say that the parts you did came out really great but at this point that’s the kind of work I expect from you. Your collaboration with Paladin and Wayne really pushed this piece to a new level. All of you really made this piece come to life!
WoW, what I really like about slightly newer channels is that you guys are still hungry and put forth a lot of effort into the craft and videos...that pays off in spades.
Thank you Jos.... honestly this is my crafting style and how my channel will always be. There isn't enough room on my shelves for builds that I don't push myself and really make something I'm proud of.
I don’t play D&D, I don’t build miniatures but my god.... watching your videos makes me want to do all of those things! And the quality of these videos is crazy good. From the angles to the lighting and music. Top notch!!
Like many times, you use a lot of different medium in your build, this one goes even further as you use everything you can in a small amount of space ! Really amazing and inspiring, i really like this build
Been thinking about transitioning my hobbies/crafting to making literary book nooks... Infinitely cool, at least in concept, and infinitely easier to store than actual diorama(s) that usually have largish footprints in the house! Great vid!🖒😎
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Always :) have you ever done a dark ages book nook? Or a cyborg one? I ask because your attention to the tiniest of details really shows in your work, no matter what build you are doing
Seriously? How can anyone dislike a video where a crafter shares their methods, credits their collaborators, and takes us on their creative journey? Guys, take a long hard look at yourselves.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Loved the completed project, btw - I only wish I had the space (and dedication!) to be able to put together something as cool as this!
I really love how you incorporate a smoke machine and led lights it really gives it a mystical feel so it would be perfect as a nook amongst fantasy books or even d&d handbooks. Great terrain ✌.
Still one of my most favorite channels. It’s probably been mentioned and I know it’s an Icewind Dale build and proper expensive, but would love to see autumn, spring and summer. Beautiful work man!
Truly epic. You have fantastic details everywhere, and some awesome techniques. But the thing I like the best is the grappling hook. It's the little things in life. LOL! Great paint job on the yeti too. Slainte!
Hot damn...uhh...cold damn is that amazing! So many new techniques shown off in this video, this thing is going to be a gold mine for me to refer back to whenever I do arctic themed builds in the future. Extremely well done
Cool video! I really appreciate the design you put into your builds! I’m much more of draw a rough sketch, gather your stuff, and let’s see what happens! My favorite parts are when you go beyond the pink foam. Nice wooden boxes, led lights, smoke machines... that’s next level stuff !
Oh yeah I love to let loose every now and then and just go for it as well. When it comes to my builds I like to think outside the box... pun not intended haha
That's awesome John! It's like alive somehow due to the fog! Sort of something you'd expect to see in a Harry Potter movie! And I see what you meant about your icicles. They look very real and are really quite clever! I think a layer of the UV resin on my cave crystals would do the trick! Thanks!
For snow and ice effects with paint, I would add a light drybrush of a pearl paint, the pearlescent effect on parts of it adds a tiny bit of the sparkle to it beyond other things.
Awesome as usual. Here in France, in my gaming club, now we use to say "do it like TWC" when we start new projects. It becomes our French saying^^. Keep going buddy!
I've yet to start my first adventure into making my own diorama. 2020 was the year to get to know the craft through awesome artists like you and 2021, after watching videos just like this to inspire me, feels... Promising 😉 Btw, the hook coming out of the book nook, as well as the waterfall really brings the book nook to a whole new dimension, it surely isn't "trapped" in its (awesome wooden) case! You've got at least one admirer in Portugal, that's for sure! 🤓 Keep up the outstanding work!
Hi Miguel, thank you so much. Sounds like you've been gaining a lot of ideas and as you said 2021 is your year to start making your own creations! I hope my channel continues to inspire you on your journey!
This was fantastic work and reminded me of my great ideas, plans and thus great laziness: I don't like 50 board games in my shelves, it looks like a day care. What I had planned on doing was making hollow over-size magical tomes the board games would fit in, and box sets ala your book nook; sans the minis ofc. Making an AWESOME display of "huge arcane tomes" in my shelves.....but really just Gloomhaven, Tainted Grail ect.
By the way. I saw the video which you said your hands shake but you found ways around it. My hands shake too and being honest I don’t do certain hobbies because of it. Seeing you overcome it is inspiring. Thank you for sharing that with all of us.
Amazing work as always! It would be awesome to see this as a start of a series going through some other adventures and make them book nooks. Like Curse of Strahd or Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus. I know it takes a lot of work so I get it if that isn't possible but I'd love to see your take on those in a format like this.
Well dam... I nearly done my Harry Potter "Blue Ray Display," like a "Book Nook," but for movies and now I don't even want to release the video... In all honesty very nicely done!
Absolutely beautiful! The way that you paint the miniatures is amazing! If I got the layout, I probably wouldn’t do ice cave, I would do more like a spider cave!
@@archdeluxe290 oh woah, this channel didn’t copy anyone! Book nooks are EVERYWHERE!!! He put his own spin on his very own creation! The difference is, this channel would ACTUALLY help creators like myself achieve something beautiful with guidance!!
Seeing these book nook projects and the creativity in them makes me want to build a few of my own. One of them is definitely going to end up being at least one featuring Drizzt Do'Urden (because I have the entire series of books), among other possible ones I might build. Problem is going to be space. As in where the heck would I put them in my book shelves? LOL It does make me wonder about the genesis of these things, though.
That is one impressive book nook! I have the same Yeti model printed out.. Danny Herrero isn't it? Now I need to add those horns aswell, so damn epic! See you at the tentacle video lol
I'm going to be working on something similar (Though not quite this detailed) With my new Kobolds. I'm waiting for them to come in :) But already planning out the layout
So how do you top that? Why, you ask, by creating the outhouse or doom! 🤪 Stunning work with an absolutely amazing result. All this and it’s not even February yet!

Hands down the best book nook in the world.... like.... wow!
Thank you :) That's a really huge compliment!
its a privilege to have one of my smokers in such an epic build! also, you picked an excellent music score!
Thanks Wayne, your smoke machine really kicked it up a big notch!

@@daskraut thats a rookie number, but its fine, it was my ringtone for a long time ;)
Where can I get one of these and how much is it?
Nice!! Looks extremely cool :D I love everything about this build, but especially the tip with the cotton and UV epoxy! That is very cool indeed !
Thanks, it really comes out so realistic!
Absolutely crushed epic build five! This video has been extremely inspirational for a very green terrain builder like me, thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful, and I appreciate the feedback.
Totaly smart, elegant, frosten, creepy and ... AWESOME !!!
Right on, thank you so much :)

This was fantastic. Very good job on another awesome build.
Thank you Greg :)
love the grappling hook its little details like that makes this standout
I agree... that was a hook off a childhood fishing lure of mine. Now every time I see it I'll think of that as well :)
Incredible build as always! You are so much more talented/resourceful than 99% of the other crafters out there. Keep it up.
Thank you J.... I put everything I have in to all of my builds. I'm glad you like them.
This needs to get to Wizards of the Coasts Attention, I'm sure they would love this!
I'd love for them to check it out!
Wow! Just....wow! Your imagination know no bounds. It looks fantastic, such depth and character. Well done sir

Right on ! Thanks Containslt
Brilliant! I'm amazed with the attention to detail you have in your builds and this one is no exception.
