I have been debating making something like this for a while. Now having seen your video, I am wondering if any of the random trim etc. the previous owner left in my shop would work. If not, I am sure I could pick some up that would. As you said, good for black powder era, Viking attacks in England, Saxon migration to England, Roman era, and fantasy stuff. Take off the side walls and it can be right on the edge of the table for an ambush scenario where one side desperately needs to get to the fort, or a break out scenario, as the deffenders know they have no hope, so try to suprise the seigers with a concentrated sally and escape.
Awesome! Having the smaller straight sections is also brilliant if you want to "destroy" a wall in a game you can simply remove that section you've convinced me to give it a crack, I've ordered the parts I need and will hopefully post how my own build goes attempting to copy this :)
Cool project and simple to do it looks like. Quarter round trim or something similar would work for the banks for folks that are going to the lumber yard.
That looks great. I've been putting off making a FIW fort as I didn't want to deal with cutting up bamboo skewers. What are the dimensions of those wooden cuticle pushers ?
I really enjoyed your presentation I think the product is excellent particularly as it doesn't cost much, I think you have understated your skill at building but also in the modular design and making best use of scratch materials. a concise presentation style too which cut straight to the chase.... (crikey that seemed a lot of praise, but for me its an an excellent useful high quality concise post what I look for in utube ...thank you for posting! Huzzah!
All looks very good but how long would it last with a few little lads playing with it? 4 little lads would love it , or is it the mans hobby if so he is very creative
Very Nice Afternoon tele 😊
I think this looks really good, I might have to try to make one myself.
This is really cool! It also looks like a Greek fort during the Peloponnese wars
Very nice. I am inspired to make one now.
Cheers
Brilliant mate
Very nice, clever to split into sections, love the platforms on the inside

Looks great, effective and fantastic job on it, have to try something like that one day!
Thanks very much
That was an enjoyable video and the Fort construction very well explained. Thanks for sharing

Robert Chisholm these where 3 inch but I think you can get longer ones too
damn i already made the same fort but i had to sharpen like a thousand sticks

Lasts quite well, my kids have played with it and only a few accidents that are really easy to fix
Cracking buddy.. looks the part kid.
pancakepayney payne thanks Nathan
thanks Nathan
Looks awesome. What are the dimensions of the cuticle pushers?
Thanks, they are 3mm x 75mm
@@MrSuperchippy74 Cheers. Think I'll have a shot at making my own fort. :D
I'd never heard of cuticle sticks before and can see lots of wargaming uses for them - if you cut the points off you could even build log cabins etc.
Ralph Astley yes a very useful product, and cheap
"a hot glue gun was the best gun to use" nah I personally use a 9mm for my models
ive been there for a trip remember the school that has purple jumpers
seeeereeeeeee yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dude it's simple and easy FOR EVERYONE to make those cuts. Stop talking like you just cured cancer and it was easy for you.
