We live in a day and age where creating a Dungeon Master screen for a nerdy-ass voice actor warrants an artisanal video. Never stop being awesome, Wyrmwood!
Oh wow, the HDYWTDT is actually made of crushed Jet? That's rad as hell, I thought it looked neat but I wouldnt have guessed it was made from gemstone.
... That moment of oil varnish soaking in and wood grain emerging like some kind of runic sigil is the IRL equivalent of watching an arcane enchanter at their craft, M8. >):^D
Toryu Mau I know what you mean, I’m still trying to find the perfect sealer for my wood crafts, so far Lindt seed oil is the best I’ve got, but I’ll get here eventually
My players gifted me a Black Walnut Wyrmwood Dice tray tonight for our 50th campaign session! Quality work from passionate craftsmen, Matt (and myself) are very lucky DMs!
What they left out of the video with Matt is the cast (I think Sam) saying "Oh, so that is just for tonight" and Matt saying "NO, this is staying with me forever!" with the conviction of a man that wants it to be buried with him.
I've just had a bittersweet realization. One day this screen, and that table, and maybe even a few of their dice sets will be in a museum. Maybe long after we fans are gone.
@@RomGomLP why yes ....yes I am.... Sir dr. Professor stupid the III arch duke of the comback , leader of fools , breaker of shitty comments , caller of bullshit, rump mister ,and wizard of waste and your time
@@KetchupRocket I've seen things on their website, and I've recently been watching some Wyrmlife (which is how I got here) - but your comment sounded like you knew the cost of this DM Screen vs the general pricing of their products
FallenB1ade nope, I was just making a comment about the high cost because every time I go to their page I’m sticker shocked, but my comment was implying “ah, now I see why.”
@@KetchupRocket Makes sense - their game table on Kickstarter looks really well priced though (sure, not as many fancy fits, etc, but the same designer, CEO and QC team)
When he first snapped the boards together, literal chills followed by a welling up from my eyes. I never knew I could be moved by such a thing!!! Truest MASTERS of the craft. Well done gentlemen!!!
Your logo certainly fits right in with master-quality D&D gear. A perfect seal for a team of master craftsmen. Fine work on the +4 Screen of Concealment.
So I've never checked out any of your products, just thought you were a big corporate company with sky high prices. Thanks to this video, the down to earth guy on the video, and CR. I will be buying all my products from WW. I will also be advocating WW UA-cam channel, products, and supplies at all the games stores, coffee shops, and individual people in southwest Missouri. Just seems like a family based business who provides quality. #newfan #newcustomer #believer
Wow, things like that just can't be mass produced. The care and detail going into this screen is immaculate! I often watch videos of folks making things out of metal and wood but never has the result been so rewarding and awesome!
I think my favorite part of every one of these craftsman videos is when the varnish gets put on the wood and it gets darker and shiny and just a beautiful finalized piece.
Incredible craftsmanship! The cost in materials and hours of work on this item has to have been huge. I don't even DM and I want one of these new screens!
Wtf, I teared up looking at the finished product. How did it compel that reaction from me? That was beautifully done and such an awesome work of art. It is Overwhelming just comprehending this process and appreciating how much you all care about your quality and work. Hats off to you. I come from a long line of master carpenters and instead of following the family trade, I enlisted in the military right after 9/11. I spend my days now admiring and appreciating my dad and grandfather in their workshop at his home. Thanks for sharing this.
You and everyone else. Possibly less detailed, but this level of attention, craftsmanship and quality. Shame about the breadboards and scaffolding poles.
1 hit point was required to imbue the DM screen with its mystical properties! Stunning craftsmanship and a testament to building beautiful things for the games we love.
Just came here from CR producer Max's twitter. Even this video is artisan-level craft. God damn! And those brown oak veneers... positively gushing over here. Now I'm day dreaming about a bass guitar from those woods - dark wenge body and neck, brown oak fingerboard as contrast... Not sure practical that is, sure wood look tight though.
Thank you so much for showing your process of making this for Matt, also i think gives people more of an understanding of why things cost the way they do. And that it is totally worth it. Hopefully in the future I can order something.
i've never been one for veneers, but you guys might just change my mind on that. because hot damn, ain't no way to get that kind of detail otherwise. Everything about that screen is gorgeous.
Wow. I’ve always known your products were gorgeous and well made, but after this video, I may need to actually save up for one. Gorgeous, and brilliant craftsmanship.
I've watched this video several times, and wish I could continue giving likes. The craftsmanship and precision is amazing. Makes me want to take up woodworking
It's so great to see the process put into the craftsmanship. This screen makes me quite jalous of Mr. Mercer. ^__^ Also, I was wondering 1) what is the spray used to accelerate the glue up process and I'd also be interested to know 2) what's the name of the black matte ruberized mat used when drilling, that'd be great in my amateur shop. Thanks!
Until the correct answer is given, it's usually something like a solution of baking soda, for the carbon dioxide. Adam Savage has a little bottle with a pump sprayer that he buys from hobby shops, but it doesn't cause the bubbling seen here, yet still works very fast.
It is an aerosol activator for the cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) that we use, it cures the glue instantly which is really helpful for a project like this one. The black matte is scraps of heavy density foam left over from our furniture upholstery. If you look up "poker table foam" you'll find it. It works great as a safe surface for sanding, finishing, and generally avoiding all-too-common shop rash
The style of editing reminds me so much of the build videos Adam Savage does. I love this video its so awesome and the dm screen is absolutely beautiful.
It's not a project until you bleed on it! Great job, I love watching how you guys work, what a cool and rewarding business you guys have, supplying gamers with items that aren't just functional, but also beautiful treasures they can be proud of. Nothing is better than making something you know will be loved and appreciated forever.
I honestly didn't think I'd like this type of video but I couldn't keep my eyes off of the screen while watching this. The way you filmed this video made it so I didn't even want to blink in fear of losing the detail. The finished product and video production looks absolutely amazing! You've got yourself a new subscriber!
Never thought in a million years that my mouth would drop open watching an unveiling of a DM screen, but it just did. Had to pause the video to type this
That screen is absolutely beautiful! I've always had an interest in woodworking. I'd love to make my own DM screen or dice tower/tray. Eventually, I want to make my own custom table.
the level of artistry and design in this shit is amazing. So much care and thought is put into every aspect and the end result is amazing. you guys are seriously talented, and keep up the good work
All i can say is bloody fantastic, I loved seeing the screen when watching the live show and now getting to watch it be made is awesome, I can't stop talking about your products to everyone I know that plays D&D!
Wow this was just so amazing!!!! Watching this from start to finish. You put so much heart and compassion in to this screen, Well done Jason from Wyrmwood
I truly appreciate the craftsmanship on this. I backed the GM Screen Kickstarter hoping to get something really great quality, even if it's not the same bespoke level of build. I gotta say, i have a little buyer's remorse. It was pieces collected together from mass production which is ok given the volume of backers. But it sbould work with itself. I bought monster trackers then when placed on the metal sheets, slide rhe sheets down. The acrylic and metal sheets shouldve been secured to the panels. Then the tray for pens or tablets should magnetically stick to thebpanels, but if you bought a full sheet for your middle panel like mine, it gets in the way, its not cut to the size required. I spent A LOT of money for something that is good quality generally, but not when assembled together.
Wow, this was absolutely stunning to watch. Jason really is such a Master at what he does. Everything came together so beautifully and I really love this design for DM screens. The aluminum Wyrmwood logo was beautiful against that dark wood.
Holy crap, you guys definitely need more content like this on the channel. This is the sort of thing I came looking for when I heard there was a Wyrmwood channel and was initially pretty disappointed.
Not sure who needs this, but... the Commander’s Vest at Historical Emporium. You’re welcome. Also, the piece is stunning. And the video itself is stunning. I felt things... about wood. Good work everyone!
You guys should call any special pieces like this that you make Wyrmwood Artifacts, since they're unique and powerful
Davrial aka Blue Mario seriously though that would be awesome.
Here here
laura bailey's Dice Jail
@@SPACEHARICE A true artifact for the agea
This guy is on to something 👌
I would think something so powerful would need to be forged in the fires of mount doom, but this works too.
Or at the very least sapient pearwood.
We live in a day and age where creating a Dungeon Master screen for a nerdy-ass voice actor warrants an artisanal video. Never stop being awesome, Wyrmwood!
Wyrmwood "we want it to look good on camera"
Laura "ohh is that a new screen for the show?"
Matt "No this one's going home with me"
Oh wow, the HDYWTDT is actually made of crushed Jet? That's rad as hell, I thought it looked neat but I wouldnt have guessed it was made from gemstone.
Jet isnt exactly a precious stone. Its coal. Actually its what coal is before its "coal enough" to be burned
@@TheTacCom Jet is a type of lignite, a precursor to coal, and is a gemstone
Not all gemstones are precious. Still, its cool to know that it is a gemstone
I kind of hate how the jet darkened that panel though :(
@@evalynn1863 That’s what they said.
Blood was literally shed to make that screen.. somehow that seems appropriate :) Lovely work :)
That's been about half my projects, but I'm nowhere near their level.
no hamdmade item is complete without bloodshed...one must appease the creation gods with a blood sacrifice
A blood sacrifice must be made for Mercer to infuse an item with his power.
Is there a reason none of them are wearing gloves though? Might prevent some of that blood.
@@Attilladehun You need the dexterity to manipulate stuff safely sometimes and gloves just impair that ability actually making some tasks less safe

Hey, congrats on the 50 sessions!
What they left out of the video with Matt is the cast (I think Sam) saying "Oh, so that is just for tonight" and Matt saying "NO, this is staying with me forever!" with the conviction of a man that wants it to be buried with him.
Aww yeah! I was like "I'm pretty sure they made more of a fuss over it..." :D
This is totally mesmerizing.
*Looking at this*
Me: "I use Detect Magic!"
DM: "You are blinded and stunned!"
I've just had a bittersweet realization. One day this screen, and that table, and maybe even a few of their dice sets will be in a museum. Maybe long after we fans are gone.
Wow. Thank you.
No, it'll be because the fans aint gone.
In a museum ? Are you stupid ?
@@RomGomLP why yes ....yes I am.... Sir dr. Professor stupid the III arch duke of the comback , leader of fools , breaker of shitty comments , caller of bullshit, rump mister ,and wizard of waste and your time
....oh, so THATS why its so expensive. Damn, that's craftsmanship. Bravo!
How much did it cost?
FallenB1ade I haven’t purchased anything from Wyrmwood but you can look at their website to gather a price range.
@@KetchupRocket I've seen things on their website, and I've recently been watching some Wyrmlife (which is how I got here) - but your comment sounded like you knew the cost of this DM Screen vs the general pricing of their products

I feel like this DM screen will be displayed in a museum some time in the future as an artifact once held by the legendary Matt Mercer 👀😂
Yesss!! Belongs in a museum in 2050 not sold for a million bucks at private auction!
@@kaizen5023 In 2050 He will still be using!

A joy and a pleasure to see a Master working their craft
Your logo certainly fits right in with master-quality D&D gear. A perfect seal for a team of master craftsmen. Fine work on the +4 Screen of Concealment.
It's like watching a legendary weapon being made for a hero worth to wield it. Like Thor's Hammer... or King Arthur's Excaliber.

I keep throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening. Please send help.
I guess the DC is too high.
My guess the price. 🤣 Keep throwing.
Read the internet's FAQ.
Ladies and gentlemen: The only time we will ever get to see behind matt's dm screen. Take it in!
I mean, we saw what was behind his screen 7 years ago as of this typing in one of his old GM Tips videos.
100% loved this. Woodwork is such an undervalued skill. Plus to see the whole process end to end is fantastic. Great work team!
I don't know a single person that undervalues woodworking. Lol
@@brothaman4578 then you know good people. Unfortunately it's a skill that schools are moving away from becuase of the incumbent digital take over.
@@Greg1756 we did quite a lot of woodwork in school. From making toys to statues, I love it to death, it's awesome.
Wow, things like that just can't be mass produced. The care and detail going into this screen is immaculate! I often watch videos of folks making things out of metal and wood but never has the result been so rewarding and awesome!
I think my favorite part of every one of these craftsman videos is when the varnish gets put on the wood and it gets darker and shiny and just a beautiful finalized piece.
Every time this pops up in my YT Recommendations, I rewatch it. And every time I sit in awe of Jason's work on that magnificent piece of woodworking.
good lord if anybody asks me what a master craftsman can do im showing them this video 3 times in a row. Holy hell that is beyond epic.
This video gave us a glimpse of the back of the dm screen, I may die happy now
Haha same!!
Incredible craftsmanship! The cost in materials and hours of work on this item has to have been huge. I don't even DM and I want one of these new screens!
I remember first seeing this screen and thinking it was nice of course but seeing the craftsmanship of it stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful work.
I may have teared up a bit when you finished it. Stunning work!
Can we just talk about the amazing sound design in the video? So satisfying.
Wtf, I teared up looking at the finished product. How did it compel that reaction from me? That was beautifully done and such an awesome work of art.

I am honest to god drooling over this. You guys put a lot of time into your work and it shows! Beautiful
Just came here from CR producer Max's twitter. Even this video is artisan-level craft. God damn!
And those brown oak veneers... positively gushing over here. Now I'm day dreaming about a bass guitar from those woods - dark wenge body and neck, brown oak fingerboard as contrast... Not sure practical that is, sure wood look tight though.
With a routed burl top, nickel frets and hardward, and crushed jet inlays
"Wood". Ha. I get it.
Leave practical to the engineers. When using art to make an instrument to make more art...leave your practical at the door, thanks.
Thank you so much for showing your process of making this for Matt, also i think gives people more of an understanding of why things cost the way they do. And that it is totally worth it. Hopefully in the future I can order something.
I just love listening to the random sounds of woodworking. It's really relaxing.
i've never been one for veneers, but you guys might just change my mind on that. because hot damn, ain't no way to get that kind of detail otherwise. Everything about that screen is gorgeous.
It's always amazing to see someone who truly loves their work. The folks at Wyrmwood should take pride in their exceptional talents.
Getting to see the build all the way through is so cool. It came out so beautiful!
Matt was so excited to use the new DM Screen. What an awsome and fine craftsmanship you people made. Always fascinates me how amazing you are.
Wow, I'm in awe at the level of detail and care that went into this! Absolutely amazing work!
Thats a thing of beauty. Quality craftmanship that will stand the test of time. 500 years from now future DM's could be using that.
Also the ending of this gave me goosebumps seeing it completely done!!
Woodworking videos with fine detail work are always so satisfying to watch. Awesome job.
Wow you guys are insane. So much detailed work.
You can really see how much love, blood, sweat and tears did go into that DM Screen.
My deep Respect!
There is something intangibly but deeply satisfying about a craft like this...thank you for sharing! Impressive craftsmanship!!!! Such precision!
It has LIGHTS, MAGNETS, and EASILY CARRIED? I’m in love
The workmanship is awe inspiring. So beautiful. Love your products Wyrmwood!

y’all ever...consider doing ASMR with the woodwork? Lol
I legit got a few tingles from this. Did not expect it, but man this video is awesome.
All woodworking is ASMR. Nothing knocks me out like a little This Old House.
the artistry, skill, care and knowledge that goes into crafting is art.

I gotta say, i have a little buyer's remorse. It was pieces collected together from mass production which is ok given the volume of backers. But it sbould work with itself. I bought monster trackers then when placed on the metal sheets, slide rhe sheets down. The acrylic and metal sheets shouldve been secured to the panels. Then the tray for pens or tablets should magnetically stick to thebpanels, but if you bought a full sheet for your middle panel like mine, it gets in the way, its not cut to the size required.
I spent A LOT of money for something that is good quality generally, but not when assembled together.
