Just as a heads up! There is a whole slew of laws against privately brewing spirits in the US. Lots of hoops to jump through to do it legally. Aging it and imparting flavor, though, is perfectly legal. In fact, most brands buy the raw spirit from a distillery and put it through their own process to age and give it their own flavor profile. Just wanted to make that one clear lol.
and some yahtzee forms ,might as well and they are light
Go brew moonshine and get some poison for free! wtf add lol
You could work with a small brewery to make a small private batch to distribute to your fans or to sell at moderately sized events.
they have to catch me first :)
US federal laws allow for 100 gallons of beer and wine in a household consisting of 1 adult over the age of 21 or 200 gallons for 2 or more adults over the age of 21 per year. Home distilling alcohol for drinking is illegal. Homemade alcohol can not be sold and can only be removed from your residence for the purposes of brewing competitions. Or at least that was the laws last time I looked them up. Local laws may vary, so double check before brewing.
we have the coffee alchemy set, the chest of the wandering chef, and now the Tipsy traveler...the trinity of culinary fantasy amazement....if we get a Skill Tree brand whiskey...sign me up!!
A crazy/ambitious thought comes to mind: combining the "pack of the wanderer" with I believe it was called "the staff of the wanderer," the one that broke into three sections to form a small stool. The idea here is to build a frame/harness that will fit not only the tavern trunk ("Trunkern?" "Tavunk?" Nah, too silly) but any other accoutrements you may want to add (extra pouches for more games, more flasks, more bottles, maybe a little candle/mini fire pit for light, or maybe make it large enough to also carry the Alchemist Brewery box), while also being able to rearrange the components of the pack into some kind of small chair to sit on, or perhaps a short table upon which to set up the "bar in a box."
The other thought would be just a harness of some sort made out of leather straps that the box would nestle into and all the anchoring points and weight-bearing connections would be incorporated into the harness so there's no stress on the box itself.
As for the way the flask turned out, you could look at it as "water stains" or you can look at it as "building the lore." Every "mistake" or "blemish" when building things like this create opportunities to craft a backstory - a history of where this item has gone and what events it may have been through. And if you end up using this thing while camping/larping those blemishes really help make it look "lived in" - like it has seen actual use - rather than it looking "brand new/store bought."
so make a folding tavern
I was thinking something along the same lines.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"Leave it in the comment section.."
Me: "You should put it on the frame for the-"
"What I did put it on for now..."
You could make it a new frame with side bags, some sort of cover assembly like a gazebo and other stuff for a travelling tavern owner character!
I see a thin foldout bar counter with a roll down canvas sign!
My God this is a work of art. Like full on "Shut up and take my money" level. You could wood burn a checker board into the bar top to have one more game to take with you as well. As for a handle you could probably get away with making a handle strap that runs underneath your closure straps that you tacked on. Or for better weight distribution make two hand straps attach them to your closure belts, then you could use some leather cordage to wrap the two handles together and it shouldn't even interfere with your opening of the case.
Two small notes about the 'bar top' ; I would put something on the underside just to use up the leftover storage space. And 2, I might add a finger hole not only to ease deployment, but to allow you to set your drinking horn in it. Otherwise, a fantastic build!
For carrying, I like the idea of a dedicated version of the frame, and maybe making the barrel fixed in place or better still, a barrel facade over a pressurized growler to allow for ale; because every tavern has good ale!
The scenario about the stranger with the backpack tavern is actually a encounter in my campaign. But he has a portable Hole filled with a real tavern, complete with a Warforged barmaid. (Wench)
Good video
Stealing this for my campaign 😂
@@Avaene the Barmaid is currently a 6th lvl Fighter
Portable holes are awesome, I made a full shop by having a character with a enclosed wagon who hanged 2 portable holes on opposite walls and had a huge space to work with.
Leather straps around the case and into a handle seems like a potentially quick and easy fix, however the idea of a carry frame to include one or more of your other builds would be fun to see. I love watching you make random useful things, it's quite inspiring. I especially love seeing you combine them into a whole useable, livable kit. ❤
One of the best tools I've found for inside measurements is a carpenter's rule with a slide. They run between 15 and 20 buck and they are great for getting any sort of inside or depth measurement.
If you want to add a handle or strap, I would consider doing it on the side, rather than the top, and add a backing plate that you can screw/bolt all the way through the box side. The box itself should be more than strong enough to support that, particularly with all the added leather to the outside and corner braces on the inside.
You should also try to see if you can add the coffee station you made to the top of the pack, so you are covered for evening and morning beverages.
Have you considered burning a design into the leather? It seems like you have a lot of real estate for a fun design for Maddie to go ham on.
Two thoughts:
- For carrying it, I would recommend continuing to pair it with the Pack o' the Travelling Wanderer. That shelf at the bottom combined with a string connection system will allow you to carry it and some other gear. Look up the Diamond Hitch as a great and simple way to attach gear to those sorts of pack frames.
- For handles, get some thick (3/4" - 1"), twisted (3 or 4-strand), natural fiber rope. Drill two holes into the box at the points where you would want your handles to connect. If the holes are the same thickness of the rope, you can thread the ends of the rope through the holes, tying knots on the inside to keep them from pulling back out. Just look up different stopper knots- a Simple Overhand or an Ashley's Stopper knot should work, or look up the Manrope Knot if you wanna go super epic!
So cool! I'm planning to make a similar box as a more elaborate kit for potionsmithing next year at Reckoning. I immediately thought of the backpack of the wanderer when you said it was a traveling trunk... No need for any other carrying strap imo! 😁
Look at the US civil war military physician's kit--a leather covered wood box with lots of compartments
The idea to put a place normally found in a building into a small box is amazing. It also reminds me of the foldable altars they had in medieval times for traveling Like a tiny church. Looking forward to the next addition to your wandererspack :D
The military chaplains and priests who visit shut ins still use miniature "traveling communion sets" that are in tiny cases no larger than a shoebox. The chalice is about the size of a large shot glass, there's a nod at a vestment stole that is basically a wide ribbon. When I was the Altar Guild member who got to clean and refill one, it reminded me of playing with the doll tea sets when I was a little girl LOL.
at this pace, the next addition to the wanderer set will be a wagon to transport all of it
I do think it looks so good on the wanderer frame! The only thing I would do different is the table. I would make a four legged table. That way it can be moved away from the case. Like on the floor of a tent or something like that. Awesome build!!
I agree. that would be cool. :)
I would use the whole thing as the table. Turn the shelf into a dartboard on an easel stand/hanging rope to spike into a tree/hang off a branch, and use the flat of the case as the bar.
@@littlekong7685 The board can be checkers on one side and a cork on the other side. Using wooden dowels that likely would fit in the case quite well some where. You could make the dowel tapered and then there is 4 holes in which they sit in. You could drill holes in the side to insert some small sticks to hold the legs on. Not making it strong. Just to keep it from coming out when setting it up. Then add in a candle and some matches ( led candle stick to set on the top. Nevermind that.
You only need 2 legs. the table does not have to be super thick. It can be thing boards. You could then have 2 pieces that are stitched glued or what ever to set on top of the case and then 2 legs and a cross board. The legs are tapered dowels with the top thicker part thinned down so you set the legs in to a cross board then set the table top on it. This prevents the middle of the folding table from closing up. so if you were looking at it you would see the box fully open then the table and 2 guys sitting on stumps/rocks. I could make tiny stools too... the wood table top is leather bound on the back side and the thin wood panels is rough with a checkers/chess board along with some instructions or other dice games or even a cribbage board or some sort of thing. I was thinkinking it needs something else like remember that lantern they made. If the legs had another set that either could be press fitted. I was just thinking the legs are going to have to be 4 pieces anyways as the table can not be higher than what can fit in the box. Either way a way to attch the legs to make them taller and make a hook thing to hang the lantern or something. One way would be pool stick fixing. yet this might be too modern. Billiard Cues Tips Replacement pack of 10 for 7 bucks. You could glue some 1/2 dowels to these somehow. the whit part would slip over the wood. The tip you would have to remove the felt thing and then glue the dowel to it. If not just one joint is around 10 dollars.
If you use your backpack frame and the keg get some hooks to add to the backpack frame and hang a couple of beer mugs from them so that you can use the keg. (You could also use the lid of the keg (after you emptied it ofcourse) as a dart/throwing knife board.
I think that the frame from the pack of the wanderer is perfect! Maybe put some removable leather straps for when its in "tavern mode" so the ropes don't do too much damage to the leather finish. I'd also recommend a SkillTree logo tooled onto leather and attached to the outermost side. Nothing wrong with a lil branding and decoration. If you want to get really fancy, you could make the logo from metal~
He needs a removable hanging wooden sign, with an appropriately catchy looking wordless tavern name (Like The Wandering Tree) he can hang somewhere close by.
Attach the hand also to the external straps, that way the leather is holding the wight rather then the wood.
Honestly, before you said it, my suggestion was going to be something like the frame that you used here, but more in the style of the tavern trunk, obviously. If it had some side boards, you could even make some holsters for more bottles, since two bottles of liqour don't make a tavern, IMO. The barrel with some ale or other chugging-worthy alcohol does help a bit.
You could add some bottles of mixer, like some juice or seltzer to the frame. Or even better, you could add some reusable self-cooling ice packs to chill your drinks, for lack of easily portable ice cubes. That'll be a great boon when your patrons become tired of room-temperature whiskey.
Also, while it may be too late now, I think there's enough room around the flask to fit some strapped-in mini bottles, maybe four or so, just in case you want a shot of jaegermeister, or somesuch.
Either way, awesome project.
I wonder if you could use a metal plate on the inside to rivet through the board to affix a handle. The plate should help distribute the weight and prevent the handle from tearing off. Plus some more antiqued brass would fit the style of an old-timey steamer trunk imo and could even be etched with a tavern name or something, That being said a removeable cradle would be cool if it could attach to the pack frame and act as a means to carry it around by hand. Regardless I think integration with the pack frame is a fantastic idea.
Wouldve been first if not for this gods-forsaken internet
I didn't forsake it I'm right here!
@@kingmasterlord fixed it
There's a tip jar included for that traveling therapist-- er, bartender, right?! Well, tip leather pouch? Money!
Now that is certainly a kit that will make you quite popular! I like the idea of a dedicated frame for it, but perhaps its time to go Big! Be Extra! Perhaps the world needs a travelling character with not just one kit, however useful it may be. Imagine a wheeled cart, whether two or four wheels depends on how clever you can be. ;) But said cart would carry the Kitchen and Cooler, the Folding Vanity and Sink, the Alchemy/Coffee kit, the Bar kit, and so on, until the cart has a complete encampment. Not sure it could carry the bed and tent, but who knows? The cart could come apart and turn into tables for the various kits, giving work spaces. You pull up with your cart, sort of like Gandalf (maybe without ponies to pull it, but hey), and you can set your entire camp up from one cart. The Ultimate Kit!
This handle idea may have been recommended already, but I don't know how to search for this specific idea, so here it is:
Attach the handle to the straps so that, when they are buckled up, the handle is in place and ready to use. This should put most of the weight on those straps instead of any spot on the wooden structure. This does put everything on its side, though, so if that isn't ideal, then I do really like the backpack idea with the keg for good measure that you came up with!
i think the frame pack is the best way, shows off the piece well, is removable, can carry other things on it, like a net bag of citrus fruits, and some shaker tins. In my head I see it being a J shape, having a perfectly fit notch in the bottom, or just a lip at the front, just looks like they go together better than a flat bottom, cause they were meant for each other, the barrel is a nice touch too.
Maybe some detail on the front of the box, something like "The Travelling Tavern of Tillian Twicerich", kinda like how you did the map of middle earth.
Did the same thing some years ago, had 3 bottles, a little shelf and some glasses. Also for ANY larp, ALWAYS include hidden spaces so you can hide contraband ;)
I also added some of those led fake candles with a microswitch and a battery compartment for when you fold out the little shelf the candles "magically" light up!
On the top part of the box we had a bottle with water to rinse the cups when traveling and some games. Plus a little cushion holding a tinwhistle for when we had to kill some time at a campfire.
Everybody loved that thing and the roles that came with it!
I wonder if you could add handles to the belts you have keeping it closed.
The not having a cork screw when you need one does suggest you should daily carry a swiss army knife. And a level you don't have is custom swiss army knife scales... Fit to Survive has some great videos on that, just saying. Love the videos as always, you release these ones while I am doing the last hour or so of my Friday work day, always makes the day so much better!
Started my first leather project last weekend. I had a belt buckle with a celtic cross lying around for at least a decade. So I bought a strip of leather and started making a medieval style belt. I also bought some brass eyelets for the button stud of the buckle to go into. Stupid me bought them two millimeters too wide. Sadly I only figured it out after I put he first one in at about my waist size and gave it a test fit. Every move I made the buckle sprang out.
Seeing that you only make a hole with a small cut for those button studs I think I'll first just do this instead of buying the smaller eyelets and then improve the belt later.
I've thought about this and I think a shoulder sling makes the most sense both practically and stylistically. As a Portable Tavern Owner it probably wouldn't be your full time profession. Probably a gambler or an alcoholic who knows how to scratch an itch. I would generally build it along the lines of the Snake-oil Salesmen scene in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. He's a bit of a showman, huckster and magic user, but ultimately he's a conman. His setup is easy to unfurl and just as quick to dissemble, when it works right.
So, a shoulder sling for carrying. A briefcase handle for setting up, and potentially tri-pod legs for display. If you want to go for Maximum Effort. But if you do, a Roulette Wheel should be within.
Best of luck sir, your projects never cease to amaze me when you're breathless at the end like this one.
For the handle, adding a brass plate to the top inner and drilling through to bolt a "trunk handle" to match the style. The plate will give strength and durability to the handle without damaging the pine.
Before you finished putting the box together, I knew you were going to cover it in leather lol. My first thought when you said pub games was making a dart board. Taking something like a cork sheet and covering it with one of those self healing mats dyed in a dartboardy fashion. Could also dye a chess/checkers pattern in leather then secure it as a pouch to hold the pieces. Could probably get a number of videos out of making games for the portable tavern. 🤔
Definitely needs a dartboard on the underside of the bar top.
Make the darts to level up lead casting and fletching.
The biggest problem is that as a drunken bard from Wenheim (Hrym's the name) with a taste for mead the tiny tavern is too small. A barrel of mead is huuuuge!
But it would make travelling more joyful! Great tip! Now we (I have a brother, Brate's his name) won't have to stash bottles all around the world too keep sobriety away. Good thinking, my good man!
What do we do after the first day though... Oh well...
Expand the frame of the Wanderer. So that you can make it a full tent and bar. Much as you would expect for a wandering merchant. The frame becoming wider across your shoulders and out from your back would not change the poles you were using for the tent. This would allow you to make a small fold out table that would be your back support. Have the tent behind it. Bar below resting on the ledge. And still allow you to attach a small chair or 2 like from the Staff to either side. Because what kind of bar expects its patrons to sit on the ground and to dirty your dice and cards.
Saying all of this your could even redo your game pouch to be the table top.
Maybe some kind of adjustable leather harness could work for holding it?
Like, with vertical and horizontal straps (with buckles for being able to keep it tight and snug).
And then maybe a leather strap at the side of the box from which it opens for carrying it around? Or two more adjustable straps for carrying it like a backpack.
So many ideas.
I’m a leatherworker and love your build on this. The external frame is a great solution to the handle problem. Alternatively you could sling leather straps through narrow holes cut into the box so that the weight is distributed throughout the wood panel rather than on two points.
Your joy in what you create is infectious and your imagination reminds me a lot of my own. I'm not much of a drinker but I could still use this kind of thing for some fun and games with any friends I may get together with. Not sure if I'll ever make something like this but the ideas are *cough* brewing heh
To carry this excellent project I would suggest the frame with a shelf at the bottom to support the weight. Furthermore taverns usually have a name, and this name is displayed out the front on a hanging board. Due to poor literary levels the name would be a logo. So the backpack frame could have an extention pole with a flag/banner hanging proudly.
I like how it works with the frame for the pack of the wanderer, but the twine looks a little untidy and is probably time consuming to fasten and unfasten. Maybe you could make a similar framework with leather straps that would be easier to fasten and unfasten. And you could dress it up a little, like maybe putting a tavern sign emblem on the strap and adding some little tavern-themed decorations.
You know there is still enough room in there for on of those collapsible dice towers. That way you keep the dice from going everywhere and can play anywhere.
I would imagine That would also be very cool to Set that up as a table as well on the back
So very cool. I have no use or purpose in my life for these, but still want to make them. Your instructions are very clear. Thank you.
As soon as I saw the pine box, my thought was to put it in the Pack of the Wanderer.... I thought you would wrap it in the tent, though:)
The keg on top is a nice touch... is it full of beer?
That is the dopest of carrying cases if do say myself good Sir. My your whisky never spill.
Agreed, when in doubt, bourbon it out.
Hey Cl3ver, how about leather boots as new project? Not customizing a regular pair, but making one from scratch. I know, making your first pair isn't easy even for experienced leathercrafters (such as yourself), but it will be a new horizon to conquer for you, and a lot of fun for us. Also, I'm slowly starting to make a pair for myself, and I would like very much to compare results of somebody with skills and tools, with mine (because it will be my second leather project ever).
Cool project! I think you are a bit too far into it to add a carry method, but here's some ideas.
Hand bag. Add a large loop of leather around the box, basically put the box on the loop and fold the loop, this should give you handles if you cut a bug enough piece if leather.
Make a harness. So kinda like how some christmas pressents are wraped you distribute the weight on the corners with pieces of leather that goes diagonal, on the back you connect those pieces to a large piece of leather that you then can put some straps on to make it a backpack. (Sorry if this one is confusing)
Shoulder strap. Just make a leather pouch for it and attach a shoulder strap.
I hope that this is somewhat helpful. Oh and also, just because the box is made out of pine remember that the leather cover helps keeping it together, so even though it would suck if it got damaged, the leather will prevent it from dropping its content.
This is so rad. If you buy these premade from Design Toscano or wherever they cost as much as a good, functional sword and are of dubious quality. 2 ideas, though: A bottle of wood hardener will make this pine box more dent resistant. The stuff is cheap. And if you reinforce the top and bottom with pieces of furniture grade plywood you'll be able to drill through it and use bolts and washers to hold on a handle and/or feet. But that steampunky ALICE-style pack frame was perfect looking and the wooden keg was a nice touch, too.
Backpack of the Wanderer was basically going to be my suggestion for a carrier. Especially for a pine box.
This is gorgeous! You can be really proud of yourself ♥
I have no idea for the packing/carrying issue but I think you could add more games if you burned a layout of your favourite boardgame onto the table itself
I was blown away when I saw the notification for the video! Not just cause the trunk is awesome, but cause I am right now planing a trunk of my own - but not for a traveling tavern, is more like a traveling/portable workshop, so I can move my stuff easily - since I don't have an actual workshop cause I lack a place/space for it, sadly. Now I have one more awesome reference to inspire me!
Obviously you should have the Tavern Wench carry the tavern. Another pack frame specifically for the tavern with the keg and a couple of beer mugs attached and you're there. Thanks for another great project. Looking forward to the next one.
Now this strikes some inspiration! Well done
Make a dedicated backpack frame for it, for sure. You can fit other paraphernalia into the frame too to make it more thematically appropriate.
Put a small handle on each side to help pull it apart to open it and I agree with the person add it to the straps I'd probably add back straps to it maybe use thicker straps switch those out for thicker straps. You could also have a reinforcing bar of metal Underneath just a small piece of metal will give you a lot of reinforcement for very little and with a thicker, piece of leather it would hide the metal
The tavern wench could be a wrap dress that you can use for a bag on the side. You can put a blonde wig in it maybe some other things are like a little cloth to cover your bar like table and put little buttons to attach it to the corners and you have more space for like tablecloth and the rare soft things. There's a little bit space in the corners of top that you could put in mixers in little bottles fitters stuff like that
I say you build a pack frame that folds out into a table to set everything up on. The main body of the frame could be the supports for the table and the table top could be the back that slots into the other parts. Making a traveling table that could be used not just for the bar, but just for camping in genteral.
Amazing built! Not something I would have thought about, but now I need to make something similar! I really love the idea of mixing games with whiskey! Very practical and fun! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Skillshare really is the perfect sponsor for this channel lol
you could build a matching frame style backpack like an ALICE pack. Also you could decorate the bartop with the outline of a game like chess or 9 man morris. Just a side note; include a small crescent wrench somewhere inside, tell people that ask it is the tavern wrench that would be able to fit inside...
Wow!!! I love the traveling tavern.
I think you could add a picture of a bar wench to the table or bar. If you glue it to the underside you would see her when you open the tavern box. Or to the top and and you could set the drinks or game on top of her. Or glue her to a piece of thin plastic cutting board or something .make her the size of the table and lift her up to in front of the open game box. She would look like she's standing at the table or bar.
you could wrap leather straps around both boxes and attach handles to the leather in which ever direction and side you want to put the handles on.
I also think you could add a few board games by drawing them on a table size[something thin like a dollar tree cutting board.] They could stack in the box on the underside of the table.
For the handle, if you can make a simple strap with loops at either end and then thread the existing straps through it before buckling it closed that could be a really easy and simple handle, just gotta be sure those bottles are corked tight
Okay hear me out… handle for this amazing addition… on each face (front face and back face) about 2in from each end (where the buckle and hinges are) toward the middle attach a leather strap at the bottom and anchor them with the upholstery tacs so they match and as the leather runners run from the bottom to the top to form 2 independent handles. One on each side of the open case. You’ll have to put some kind of rigid handle across the actual handle to ensure even weight distribution but once you have them you just close the case and bring both handles together to create one handle. It’s Literally just 2 more straps of leather and something for the actual handle and you just put them together like a grocery bag.
I would have put the leather in before adding the tim wood inside. that would help secure the leather with the weight hanging from it.
Very cool project!
Simple bacpack frame. That way not only is the box itself not under stress, it can be modified on a whim.
I was fully expecting one of those traveling roll up backgammon style sets in there too. the row of stones wrapped in a leather tube that has the board markings. Easy enough to make and definitely small enough to fit. you could even have the other side of the leather tube be a different game (chess/checkers, whatever)
duffel bag style. a strap attached to the flat sides with the loops meeting in the middle of the long side. maybe use a continuous loop so that it is attached to the bottom/ hinge side as well as the large flat sides. add a piece to one handle that can wrap around the other handle, and snap onto itself to keep the handles together.
You could make a clip-on handle on the straps you already have there. Since they go around the trunk, it will redistribute the weight well and you can always remove the handle when you don't need it. You will then carry it horizontally as a briefcase or a normal luggage.
Make a platform with a skirt that wraps around the tavern. Then have folding/collapsing legs inside it. When opening the bar, platform becomes a table with the legs extended. Add a couple of wanderer staff/stools to the side and boom you have a bar with some creature comforts.
Dunno if other people have covered this, but Saloons were basically portable bars with a tent and all(usually). So portable tavern checks out.
You're totally going to bring this to larps, aren't you?
FYI, home distilling is against US federal law so…be careful. Like 10k or 5 years or both illegal.
The mishap on the flask does give off the "weathered look"
If I had a suggestion for a handle would be to essentially use rope to hold it from the bottom and sides. I’ve seen similar things done with twine and jars
I would think that you would need to carve some decorations on the front and back to denote up and down. I can see opening this upside down and haveing a mess. As to the handle, you could make a harness that fits around the case and terminates into the handle at the top.
I'm not sure how I missed this one. I like the idea and may try making something similar. One thought, add molding to the other sides of the bar/shelf. This way, it will hold dice into place as you roll.
NGL, the moisture stains on the flask are pretty appropriate. Accidental weathering to sell years of tipsy top-offs.
I just want to say, I'm not a LARPer and all of your talents are beyond my ability. BUT your show is extremely awesome ! I wish I could contribute to your patreon, but my funds are lacking at the moment. You are still super funny and awesome ! Love you
And you're super great at what you do!
I need this for camping. Absolutely need
Just a thought but that barrel really does add to the tavern vibe, and what traveling tavern is complete without a cask of ale or two. So you have your more expensive spirits protected in the case as the place for your liquor and you keep one or two of those small barrels on the outside to hold your ale. That addition along with those board games and maybe a lantern attached to the side would make it the ultimate tavern in a trunk. You could also add a rectangular sheet of leather with buckles on the sides and handles ends to sort of sheath it inside and if you make it long enough it could double as a sitting pad for people to sit on opposite sides of the bar without getting their pants dirty so they can drink and play games together right there on the ground. As for whatever else you might want to bring just get your tavern wench to carry them.
you already added the belts to keep it closed so what if you threaded a couple straps through them either vertically to use as a backpack setup or horizontal to strap the box itself to the bottom of the wonders setup ...or using a bigger like weight lifting belt and shoulder straps so its like a bigger fanny pack that can either be worn alone or strapped to the wonders pack for a more stable base. or and hear me out, a hand wagon set up something that can be collapsable and strapped easily to travel by one person but can be also set up with a tent like a traveling merchant or a (Gypsie's) caravan.
I think they came out awesome. I did a similar build for my D&D supplies, I think you’re done! I don’t think it needs handles or anything. I love the way it fits on that pack that to me is just a new accessory for that Kit. Great build!!
My favorite part is a small detail but i love that he got rid of the card boxes. The devil is in the details ❤
Awesome video. Freakin' cool build. Maybe put a little leather 'hinge' on your bar flap. That'd keep it from falling out (unless of course you want to be able to remove it). Oh, I blurt laughed when you said you have to buy a corkscrew every time you travel... We've got like 50 of those suckers now...
Might be too late now, but if horizontal carry is possible, I would have turned the two straps used to latch the case into a H strap to use as the handle. Then the weight would be on the leather. A leather handle would also more comfortable and easily made. Plus a horizontal orientation would be easier to carry in hand.
I think you should build another frame like you did for the tent and add bucks and straps to hold it down. I also think a waterproof cloth on top to drape over it all. u could even put the name of ur tavern on the cloth
I love your creativity. Yo never cease to impress
You could add a handle to the belts you use to keep it closed since everything is kept in place by the set up
You could make a frame out of leather straps that buckles around the box, with shoulder straps built into the harness.
@Skill Tree Suggestion for a project a sword cane or a flute with a hidden knife in it ?
I'd go for adding straps for carrying it as a backpack. Two over-the-shoulder straps and perhaps one to close around your body.
I think the frame with the mini keg/barrel is perfect. But you forgot the tavern snacks! No nuts or pretzels or any other kind of salty munchie.
So honestly i like the look with the frame of the wanderer
You need to make leather playing card cases for your cards. You could tool them to give them a fun design on the outside.
One thing I would do if I made this, would be to add some designs on the leather behind the objects so if everything got cleared out you could see like a map of the area or trade route you walk.
Omg yay you did it!! I remember asking you to make a diy mini bar last year. Amazing video I’m glad you did it!!
It is a phenomenal build, but was expecting some food stock, like peanuts or beef jerky.
As for the handle, maybe add leather strips like belt loops around the box using those buttons you used for the bottle straps and pass a large leather strap around it. This way the weight will be carried by the strongest part of the box and well distributed, it shouldn't force the wood in any breakable way.
if you thru-bolt your handle with fender washers it should spread out the force enough to support it all.
Effing genius. I am in awe. Now I have to stat up the thing as a magic item and then create an encounter that makes use of it.
Could be fun to make a cocktail set like this. Maybe you should have a lil washrag so you could still do the "gruff barkeep wiping glasses behind the bar" thing, but in the wilderness, which is a hilarious mental visual
Well, now I have a new project for my bucket list!
This seems like it'd be the most extra thing to bring camping with friends, I'd totally be the person to forget my bedroll and rations to make sure theres poker and whiskey at the campfire
Liquor and gambling! Probably 2 of the most popular vices! Don’t forget a section for hangover remedies.....
That piece of trim is cove moulding. You could add two brass handles close together so you could lift with one hand. The stress would be divided. You can buy retangular brass to reinforce the bos and the handles. You can also cover the brass handle with leather to ease your hands when carrying. Doesn't it need your logo in a prominant spot to help keep the thieves guild honest?
