If you set out to do something, anything, you are starting a project. This can be anything from a simple tea light holder to a complex prop. Everything is a project, and it is the projects you get to finish that have the greatest impact on your creative journey.
Here you can find those projects that I have managed to push across the finish line, and that was not always easy. I hope you find them and their presentation entertaining ans inspiring!
You can always reach out to me to ask questions about a particular technique or project. I am always happy to help out if I can, especially when it comes to finding solutions for those problems that have bugged you for ages. Maybe a fresh set of eyes and skills can help.
If you follow me for a bit you probably know that I keep bees. If not, check out this series of articles so you can claim you knew all along. Either way, I wanted a bee clock in the bee house to keep better time while caring for the countless… Continue Reading Bee Clock for the Bee House
As a fan of Horizon Zero Dawn and looking forward to playing Horizon Forbidden West, I came across a promotional postcard, depicting the iconic machines from the games in a very geometric fashion. I chose to channel my frustration at not being able to play the newest game in the… Continue Reading Horizon Wall Art!
This project is a little unusual, but that’s nothing new if you have been following my work for a little while. This is a prop for our roleplaying game (and you can check out some unrelated but cool material over on my other site WalkingPapercut.com). This project involves mild pyrotechnic… Continue Reading Pyrotechnic Roleplaying Prop
I recently found a file on Thingiverse called Soul Skull. It was pretty much a perfect fit for an item I could see used in one of our D&D campaigns as the vessel of a undead lich currently mentoring one of the characters. But for that, I would need a… Continue Reading Soul Skull Paint Job
Have you evern been threatened via an empty piece of cloth inscribed with a weird sentence that is only threatening if you apply a very harsh case of misunderstood grammar, based on an odd narrative choice that is very transparent in terms of making the video happen? Well, I have,… Continue Reading Making a Crysknife!
If you watched my previous video where I make a Key of Aaravos (a wooden cube inexperiently carved) you might have noticed this little guy’s cameo. Here is how I made this one, and a technique that will allow you to make your own latex hollowform! I am fascinated by… Continue Reading Making a Latex Hollowform Slug
After getting a set of cheap carving chisels, I was looking for something to make with them. When I heard that the Cult wanted to thwart me (in the “In the Spire” Podcast) I knew I had to do more to magically ward my shop against what they might do,… Continue Reading Key of Aaravos to ward my Workshop
It started out with a scrap piece from an old chair, but it might have been a practice turning or a couple of pieces stuck together with hot glue. I ended up with a perfectly servicable wand that is far from perfect, but perfectly suited to help you escape a… Continue Reading Spray Scrap Project – Cosmic Bone Wand
A couple of videos ago I spend some time recreating the monolith remotes from Marvel’s Agents of Shield. In the process I got sucked into the fear dimension (as you do), but soon after I was back producing content (at a frighteningly low pace). Nobody knew how I got back,… Continue Reading Dying Sun – A Fear Dimension Escape Ritual
Since my kids decided recently that the old Toy Kitchen I made for them from pallett wood was still worth hanging out with, I made a couple of things for them to put on the menu. In this video I show you how to make beans, peas, fries, cheese and,… Continue Reading Toy Kitchen Additions made from Wood
