Make Amazing Grass Tufts

Static grass tufts often are a bit plain for my taste. Here's how to make them live up to their potential. Luke Towan's channel: Boulder Creek Railroad for instructions on how to build the static grass applicator. I think it cost me about $35 and it is fantastic. Luke is a really talented guy. ua-cam.com/channels/jRkUtHQ774mTg1vrQ6uA5A.html Super Turf: www.sceneryexpress.com/products.asp?dept=1...

Quik Tip #1: Freezer Paper Saves Your Bench
I have done this using my Flux Capacitor . . .works great.
Great video! Quick question, do you clip the foiled parchment paper or just hold it over between both hands? Can't see the sides of the paper well and not sure if clipping it and holding one end will cause a shock or not. Please advise, thanks.
I have a question! :'D How well does this pretty DIY box work with larger grass? The dioramas I plan to create range from tabletop miniatures up to 50cm long/tall creatures in a realistic/natural environment, so using only small grass is not an option for me. And if longer grass doesn't stick up well or would require me to get as close as 12mm, it's not an option either. EDIT: Because my terrains will be at least a tiny bit uneven. Dirt mounds and such. ;v;
@AtlasLeather Many shaker applicators are too weak to make the longer grass stand, hence why I'm curious if this boy would be able to conquer that issue. Not sure if it simply depends on the voltage tho. Shakers usually have 9V.
How do you prevent the grass fibres from falling over while the glue is curing?
Holy cow! Thank you for this video! I had no idea you could make these so easily. This is amazing.
No worries. Glad you enjoyed it.
Your flocking box will be more powerful if you stick rubber feet on it. Else it is double earthing and losing charge through the bottom.
good suggestion
Excellent work. Well explained and very easy to understand. 👍👍👍
Great method, looks like a better result (with regard to the grass standing up) than the hand held electric shock device, that drops the grass from above. Only suggestion I'd make is: try it using carpet tackifier instead of PVA, you end up with easy peal off, self adhesive tufts, that need no extra adhesive, and mold to the texture of whatever you are sticking them to (with a little prodding).
It is carpet glue. I just happened to have an empty pva glue bottle laying around.
Love your machine. I bought the same machine but can't find any information on it. I can even find out what size Needle and awl it takes. Any information??
Thank you. It takes an American Straight Needle hook. Needle and awl size would be dependent on what size thread you want to use. I have the manual and could investigate the cost of reproduction.
@wuenncke that would be great and I'd really appreciate any information
Amazing tip! Great video thanks!
Amazing tip! Great video thanks!
So ... what was the point of drawing the random dots first? A pretty but pointless pattern? It would have actually been a better plan to space the holes so that the glue wiping motion would fill the holes most evenly. But whatever.
The "ooh that's hot" sorta deflated the authority of your presentation. 😝
Very interesting Many thanks for sharing
What KV unit are you using.
Know this is years old, but does the hot glue element tip and the hot glue not damage the mold?
No. Silicone is highly temperate resistant.
Amazing
Those are some good looking tufts :D
Thanks
Sous-titres en français svp merci 🙏
I dont understand? How did that happen, did I miss something?
Great idea. Are those long shank burrs behind you? Those look pretty interesting, I'm guessing you made them as I haven't seen anything like that.
I have no idea what a shank burr is.
Things in a rack behind you in the video that look like long Dremel bits :)
🤯 Always wondered what the method was, for these little gems. What an incredible technique.
that was seriously cool
wtf, what is that machine!!!! I wasn't prepared for the last bit. Please explain how it works.
what company makes the super turf/super leaf? I can't find it

My shop instructor for cabinet building said that you put enough glue on when it squeezes out of the edges just a small ripple. This is a man who built cabinets for a living.
This is incredible. I need this many times about 100 to cover the entire track I’m currently building. Definitely going to try this out
Thank you very much for the video, I have a question about the ionizer, I get 1 red cable that is positive, 1 black cable that is negative and the other cable is white but it does not have copper wires at the end, it has as many cables as If they were made of very thin plastic, what should I do with this cable, cut it until the copper wires appear, I would appreciate it if you could help me. Thank you very much, have a nice day.
Is there a reason you didn't connect the negative ion generator directly to the steel plate and added a wire in between? Thanks!
Does it matter the brand of pressure sensitive adhesive or type?
Awesome Eric! I noticed that you modified the flock box. It's showing two jacks on the side. One for the clip and one for a wand. Do you by chance have a tutorial on the mod? I would like to go that way without screwing it up. LOL. Thank You in advance. Mike A
I’ll have to go back and look at it. In a while since I put one together.
@@TheTabletopSpot great thanks!
Where did you find the Scale Leaves bottle, please?I tried ebay but there are no results. Looks interesting. Thank you! :)
I really don’t remember but if you search for Noch something should come up.
foil backed parchment paper. WOW !!! Such a simple thing, but boy what a difference. !!! Put lots of holes in a thin piece of plastic and hey presto !!!! Thanks for that.
Unfortunately, as near as I can tell, it’s not made anymore.
@@TheTabletopSpot Oil Slick foil backed parchment paper it's $30 per roll but cheaper if you buy multiple rolls.
great dungeon grim vibe very old style
Hi this is awsome. but can you send me links for all the grass types you makeing, where i can buy it. And for the machine you are using, what i need to have to make this at my home Thanks GaldorX
Thanks!!!!!
You bet
There is no way this video is only 4 years old. I swore I started longer ago. Just back for a refresher since I started a new project.
You can use hemp twine dollar tree has it u need to untwist it if you want it to be green Home depot has it in green
Thankyou so so so so soooooooo much!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️you da best!!! I can finally finish my miniature😭
You’re welcome
can please tell me specs of ion generator as i clicked link and does not work anymore :( thanks
Pretty much anything you might find in an air purifier will do.
What material do you use to make grass tell me thnx
A little confused. You show tacky glue in a bottle and Stix 2230. Which one did you use and is it self adhesive?
I just reused an old bottle
Sweet green grass ! How the hell did you do that !
A BIT helpful?!?! This is amazing!
Please, could you tell me something about voltage and Ampere necessary to Power It? Thank you
Just a heads-up from a first-time plastic resin caster (Smooth Cast 320): if you live in a warm climate (the tropics), the cure is even faster. You have 2 minutes to mix and finish pouring. Next time i'll mix several small batches.
Hi, Great video. But I have one question. How does the smooth cast 320 feel? Because I want to make high quality statues. So would you say it feels like plastic, or can you feel the quality? And I don’t know if you can answer the question, but is it easy to paint the mold? Like with airbrush or brushes. Or do you have to prepare it?
Hi There, What equipment is the one you used to place the flock on top? Do you have the link to the store where you bought it?
I have another video on how to build it, complete with equipment list.
Does the combined weight of the camera, case, lens, and weights exceed the payload capacity of the gimbal and will that burn out the motors? It's been over a year since you posted the video. Is the fix still working for you?
Can you tell me what that white machine you held paper over please
I have another video how to make a static box or more commonly known as a flock box.
