What did I forget to include? Let's make a list!
1. In some regions XPS insulation foam comes with a thin, clear, protective film on it. You want to remove it before you use it for anything.
I know you have "Basics: How to get good, clean, straight cuts in XPS Foam (Black Magic Craft Episode 030)"
But one of the things that I struggled with in the beginning when working with something like a 2'x2' piece of xps and going straight the proxxon - the xpos is never plumb from the get go.
Getting a clean cut isn't necessarily the problem - if you follow the tips in episode 30 , which is a great place to start , it's more about but how can you get a piece straight and plumb - if you ended up with a crooked piece from having a not squared end of xps or forgot to get it squared off with the knife or even ran it through the proxxon and bumped it or ran it through cockeyed.
How can you get it back to square easily?
Did you watch the video I made about cutting foam squares? It's been a while since I made it so I don't remember exactly what I covered, but that was essentially what it was about.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial yeah, I went back and watched it. I was meaning more like big pieces. I invested in one of the large T squares which helped, along with practice. Just didn't ever think about the foam not being square from the store, so starting out things kept coming out cooked, before I started checking for the foam being square. Kind of "duh" moment. Maybe it was just me though.
Ah, gotcha. I misread 2'x2' in D&D tile terms as 2x2.....what you're talking about is a lot more difficult, and there isn't an easy fix. This is why when I do large pieces I attach them to mdf and overhang the foam on all edges then run it through the proxxon where the mdf base acts as a guide. The proxxon is just too small as is to use it for cutting 2' pieces accurately. I've seen some people build the machine into a larger table which works awesome if you have the space for that but I'd say most don't.
One other method is clamping a metal straight edge on top and bottom of piece, being sure they are in line with eachother, then use a handheld hotwire to make the cut using the two edges as rails. It's a bit tricky though.
06:21 I can tell You all, that alcohol does not work. I've been drinking three days straight and paper stays in place.
hillharryass!! im crying totally got me! I thought it was serious at first!
Saw your recent post about struggling with content creation and some suicide awareness stuff, and I just want to say thank you for the amazing content you create. You got me into the crafting game. I cannot even play D&D steadily with friends but I love crafting. Keep up the great work, forget the haters and just do you bud. You do amazing work, keep it up! You are very inspirational to those of us who only wish we could do what you do for a living!
After watching your videos my girlfriend and I sat down to craft some 3x3 tiles. Something so simple provided so much fun, and, our dnd sessions now have an exciting new element. Thank you, dude, you're like the Bob Ross of mini crafting.
Thanks for being a huge inspiration and also being so open about mental health. It means a lot.
One thing that I didn't quite "get" as a total beginner but am slowly coming to understand is the crafter's eye--that ability to take a look at something in the dollar store or craft store or big box home improvement store or even just your yard and say "hey, I can totally use this to do *blah*!"
Example: tons and tons of people in the crafting world do the whole wadded up ball of tinfoil to get a good stoney texture on foam but when I was adding lava rocks to my grill a while back I picked one up and said "aha!" and started using that instead. It's not really better at texturing but it is effectively reusable forever unlike the tinfoil balls that eventually lose their sharp points.
I know what you mean. We have been buying these Actimel yoghurt shots for years. Yesterday I though" Oh OH, wait, barrels tanks, boilers, player sized potion botles. Know my craft room has a box for empty yoghurt bottles...
I have recently been clearing my 10yo daughter room. Old toys, unused 'stuff' and 'things'. What a treasure trove! My favourite: My Little pony, she had like 5 or 6 wings from some various ponies that were lost or given away. Also, kinder egg toys (all those little levers and gears!), jewelry kits (hello beads and gems!), dog-chewed barbie (hair!), ikea cardboard storage boxes (got rid of cardboard, too damaged but kept gear-shaped nuts/bolts that were holding them together), few small horses and other animals (for statues and conversions)... and loads more!I was laughing like a crazy... and looked at as one too! ;)That was a good day... :)
After I started doing this - I never looked at my trash the same way again.
YUP!!! I see terrain ideas everywhere, packing materials etc I now am hording the plastic printer paper reels for columns. Heck I recently chopped up, glued and weighted my OJ bottle and am using it as my miniholder for painting and it works great. BEWARE THE EYE OF THE CRAFTER Lol.
Tom McClintock thank you, never thought of that! Time to work on my "eye" too!
I've been building military models and dioramas for 50 years (I'm old!). I've been using various techniques and discovering others for decades! This is the best 'basic tips and tricks' video I've ever seen. GREAT JOB, Jeremy!!! Thanks
Do you have any of your dioramas online?
@@travis8106 Yes, I post photo reviews of each of my projects on Armorama (as Bravo36)
You might hear the name "Blandco" thrown around. Blandco is the most handsome, talented and charismatic member of the Tabletop Crafting Guild.
For all my Australian people, the XPS foam is called Knauf's insulation foam at Bunnings Snaghouse (warehouse)
Ah! Thank you!
If you drive past any housing development there is usually some in the bins, also loads of poly foam and other bits and pieces that are new but left over if you arent above doing some of your own recycling
3 years late but thanks mate!
I’ve been following this channel since the beginning and I can tell you that the basics series helped me so much when I was just starting out. I still reference them from time to time.
not sure if anybody already said so, but EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate.
Great video and thanks for alerting others about the floral wet/Oasis foam. Definitely a no go for crafting.
I bought a buttload of it already not realising how powdery it is. For filler material on large sculpts which will be covered in epoxy putties.
RIP your lungs. Get rid of it entirely.
Dude - you so should pin this on top of the Guild FB page. Rock on! - Edit - "Your first build isn't going to be very good anyway.." - I followed one of your build videos and my first build was AWESOME and is what got me hooked. Just sayin. Cheers!
Random Man Things BMC gives everyone else an edge in that he's encountered the setbacks that thwart the beginners and showed us how too avoid/fix them
Lately I was interested in building some terrain on my own and started to search on YT for some tutorials. Accidentally I discovered your channel and I think it's totally awesome! Things you build, tips you give and tutorials you make are great, really. My skills in crafting got to the next level thanks to you. I just want to thank you for what you're doing. Dont stop:)
Near the end of the video you mention the level of interest and wanting to expand, new tools, better materials. What would be the next level for a Beginner becoming a Novice(Novice > Advanced > Experienced > Pro). Perhaps another idea for future videos. I started out doing Warhammer 40k miniatures for 3 years and got burnt out after that time and have now started crafting terrain just for kicks. I do know there are some tools and supplies out in the world that would be nice additions, but I would like to ask a Pro level crafter how to enhance the crafting game. Wonderful video, thank you for the refresher.
I personally think a basic hobby knife and cardboard is the most beginner you can get, in my experience. From there, a better knife like OLFA and foamboard are a step up. Getting into XPS foam and hot wire cutters is yet another step above that. Of course, all that can depend on personal experience and preferred medium :)
Watched your videos cause I wanted to build a ship model. Already had a glue gun, got some Mod Podge, foam core, tacky glue, and box knives from Dollar Tree. My ship model is looking epic, and it only cost around $8 US for all the materials! Thanks for making video's! Your Dollar Store builds are super helpful.
You can buy chipboard pads at Staples although they come only up to 11x17 and you have to buy them in huge stacks (400-800) for $70-$90
I was disappointed initially that we would not get to the painting part of the building this week, but you mentioned so many useful things here, that by the time the video ended, I was grateful you made it. And now I have to watch the 4 other videos you linked here because I found all the subjects of great interest.
If you need a lightweight but strong basing material you can use political signs. They just seem to spring up on the sides of roads when it gets near election time.
Basically it's plastic cardboard. If you could use cardboard for it, then this stuff works too.
Just a bit harder to glue.
Pro tip: Lightly sand the surface to be glued before applying the glue. It gives it something to 'grab' onto.
If you're looking to buy it, it's sold as corrugated plastic. If you need to make something with any strength, use two layers and align the corrugations 90 degree from each other before bonding the two layers.
Around here the material is called coreflute, also used for construction signs.
AH! You beat me to it! I was working on a video on this very topic. Oh well... yours turned out to be very informative and very much promoted the hobby for which I am very grateful. Keep up the inspirational work.
Thanks so much for this. Knowing it's ok to start with cardboard is great.
Thanks too for the suicide awareness post. So important. Thank you so very much for all you do.
@Black Magic Craft There is one thing I would like to see besides the basic tools/materials.... I recently became an empty nester and inherited my son's room! Now I have a game room to myself, but... how do you organize your room for crafting and for play?
Great to see a basics video that increases accessibility to the hobby. Please don’t feel you have to apologize for a topic. It’s your channel. It’s great. Do what you like. Thanks as always!
"Hardboard" is HDF or High Density Fiberboard. It's a harder and denser version of MDF. You can find bigger sheets in many lumberyards/hardware stores.
For EPVC, talk to a sign printer. They fairly often have misprinted signs that they're happy to get rid of without having to pay their trash/recylcling company to haul away. And while you're asking about EPVC, you might want to ask about coroplast (corrugated plastic), which is basically like corrugated cardboard, but, you know, plastic. 8-) Buying full sheets of either is pretty expensive, not least in shipping, because you're not buying by the truckload.
Excellent info as always! I have learned so much from BMC! Thanks a million for all the tutorials and helpful info you put out for us. Also, looking forward to the new room tour!! : )
as a swiss i always get jealous when you guys talk about cheap material. you can get these five for like ten dollars. yeah, maybe one of them if im lucky xD
Australian here, I feel your pain.
Free markets and free minds Bro!
I found that by using spray foam insulation you can make things like cave pillars very easily. I'm not sure how to get a straight cut on the tops and bottoms of them as I don't have a hot wire, but I've eyeballed it pretty well using an Olfa utility knife. Would you mind experimenting with spray foam insulation and let us know what other creations you come up with? I can see the potential for amorphous terrain, larger monster figures (purple worm comes to mind), and perhaps small structures using this method.
Xps is finally becoming popular in mainstream cosplay/crafting culture in my city.
Australian peeps, check Bunnings, they've just lowered the cost.
Unrelated to the video, but there is a difference between acronym and initialism. An acronym can be pronounced as a word, like LASER, SCUBA and NASA. An initialism is pronounced as individual letters like FBI, DMV and XPS.
Ok
You are speaking to me! 😍 Totally overwhelmed with all the vast amount of content. Finding your basics series to be fantastic thank you!
thats a lot of black in that room ..better carry a flash light in case of a power outage..
I like it.
Thanks for the video! You inspired me to get into crafting and now bringing my students into the crafting scene as well! Also, I find it cool that we share a name (I learned that a few weeks into exploring your channel) So, from one Jeremy to another, thank you for what you're doing here and keep up the great work!
Foamcore is also great for making GM screens.
To my fellow Canadians, for the paint go to Michales not the dollar tree, it’s 1.19 for most colours at Michaels and 1.25 at the dollar tree for less colours :)
As usual, lots of great info. I truly appreciate it when a 'professional' takes the time to explain stuff so the beginner can jump in and become part of this great community. Thank you sir and please, please take care of yourself!
Me watching this video right after buying EVA foam: 🗿
Agree with Knight's comment. You are by far my favorite crafter on youtube. There's some amazing folks I see on twitter but they share their work, not the know how and examples of step by step like you do. I hope you can take some comfort in the huge group of us that appreciate what you do. BMC is the consistent, solid, useful, and professional crafting channel I go to weekly. I used to (and still do) look forward to RuneHammer videos each week. The two of you guys are truly inspiring and I know he was struggling for a bit too. Stay strong man. Love your work. Tell Hankerin to put out more content if he's up for it =) Ever considered doing scatter terrain for caves? I'm running Cavern of Archaia and there's a lot of shroom stuff going on in there. Would love to see the BMC version of a mushroom forest in a cave system. Good luck Jeremy.
Great to see your craft room coming along so nicely. Truly a fantasy workshop for you to create in and your viewers to enjoy watching you in. I know I like to see shelves of your prior builds and figures painted up. Keep up the great work and we will continue to enjoy and be inspired by your creations.
Great video content.
Note: Chipboard is used in book binding and picture framing. So you can often get it a crafting stores like Michaels. I think asking for chipboard at the right store will get the best results.
PS: I got really funny looks when I broke my 4x8 XPS down in The Home Depot parking lot. Luckily, the 2-inch thick board was already scored every 18-inches or so. Fit very nice in my mini-van Mazda 5.
Some people know hardboard by as Masonite, Quartrboard,[3] Isorel, hernit, karlit, torex, treetex[4] or pressboard. For a puzzle board I would get a two-side smooth board, so it doesn't deposit particles all over the place. For crafting, the one-side smooth would work, letting you glue to the non-smooth side, just don't add too much moisture, or it will swell and start degrading. - I did a lot of research into the stuff last year, for a different project.
Tip:
don’t go out there and buy a whole workshops worth of stuff just getting started, or even a few weeks in. I did this, and it was super stressful and I was really worried that I would regret it and it was all really overwhelming. I quickly grew to love having all that stuff, and now I use it everyday, but I don’t recommend spending half your savings right away, like I did. Go slow, have fun, you don’t need the pro stuff.
unless your insane and want to have Smaug’s hoard of modeling supplies in your basement, like me-
I’m like that with all my crafts 😂 on the plus side, I always have what someone needs.
I've done a lot of 'garbage crafting' - reusing plastic bottles, bits of broken toys, and the like. I showed a friend a building and they were impressed. Then I pointed out that the structure was an old shampoo bottle, the front door was a plastic bread wrapper clip, and the elevator was an old plastic film canister (ask your grandparents what "film" was). His eyes got wide as he started to recognize the various shapes of items others would have tossed. "How did you even think of that?" he asked. See things not as they are, but as they can be - the Crafter's Eye... :)
FOUND IT! Thanks this takes a LOT of mystery out of getting started! Let's see what I can build...
Good, simple information - Thank you. Since UA-cam became a "thing", it's pretty simple to find tutorials on most hobbies. It's much harder to find these "Beginners guide to......" videos.
Funny you should mention Mel, he'ss a bit of a master at this sort of stuff. Thanks for taking the time to explain the basics - we all have to start somewhere, and this seems like a good place to start.☺ I just subscribed, so I've got some binge-watching to do.
All the Best from sunny Scotland,
Dougie.
So, I haven't actually attempted any terrain stuff yet, but you did inspire me to make some much needed things for my workspace using corrugated cardboard and some hot glue. I made a brush stand, and some stadium style risers for my paints! I'm new to the channel, but I've gotten a lot from your videos!
Thanks for all the awesome videos
Hey man, great video thanks for the info. Don't sweat the schedule so much..You are super consistent and skipping one friday to do things you need to do like self care and home stuff is important.
I would just add that Superglue/CA glue melts foam a bit :D ..I think you hit the spray paint melting
In Dollarama there is the Elmer's foamcore which is also very easy to peal off. I don't know if I just had a weard batch or is it's standard. I've also seen Elmer's board at my local Walmart.
I remember discovering miniature wargaming back in 2009. I collected all the minis but by far the terrain crafting was my favorite aspect of that hobby. Eventually I gave it up because even the hyper-simplistic, step-by-step tutorials available online all produced mediocre results in my hands.
Circa 2017, I found you Jeremy. Your explanations, you suggestions, and your attitude on making something your own and not having to do everything perfectly or "by the book" awakened something in me. I'm glad videos like this exist to give others the same foundation of skills and inspiration to pursue the craft!
Totally overwhelmed myself. Within a month I got 2k of stuff (new to crafting/painting. had nothing).Been about 10 weeks. Didnt have a clue where to start. So far all ive done is organize (corkboard/shelves) made a hotwire foam cutter, made a case for minis, painted 7 minis, made 3 wire trees, 1 diorama and should be done with a tavern (wylochs) this weekend. Oh and cut around 3000 foam blocks for building some of your things. TY for the content!
I start to make my 3d dungeon for gloomhaven, thanks for the how to videos. I learn a lot... i have only trouble how to cut perfect hex... I print them on a4 cut the template and cutting on my proxxon.. If you can make one video on hex tile matter. Thanks, good work you did on your videos...
Thanks, for this. I am doing a kinda video log starting this month of me starting down this path on my gaming channel. I appreciate the tips and tricks I get from watching your videos.
Plasticard is dense polystyrene sheets of various thickness that can be used for various crafting stuff. Mostly used by warhammer folks making vehicle mods. You hear it mentioned a lot. I would recommend using cheaper materials for your first projects before investing in it.
Thank you for this video! I've made a few terrain pieces in my teen years and enjoyed it quite a lot. Now as an adult I want to get back into the hobby and this video really helped me create a list of the basic supplies I need to start creating again. I also saw that you have a video of great beginner projects that I will look into for sure.
Sometimes those large insulation foam sheets from the hardware stores have lines already scored into them so that you can break them apart into smaller pieces which makes it a bit easier to deal with as well. You have to look at one side or the other and you can see the score marks.
HOLY HELL! I'VE BEEN SAYING MODGE PODGE THIS WHOLE TIME!!! 😂😂😂
How dare you!!!!
I think we all have lol
I originally thought that was the name, from watching other craft channels. I don't think it was the guy who says "clump folage".
@blackmagiccraft I figured it out! Mel The Terrain Tutor says Modge Podge. He was the first channel I found over a year ago. Going back today on some of his videos I heard it. Has to be where I formed this bad habit 😂
Wait Isn’t that what it’s called?! 😁 everyone i know calls it that!
Talking about getting stuff for cheap, if you don't mind dumpster diving, and if it's allowed, there is lots to be found. I have found both small and large sheets of chip board (The really hard cardboard) in dumpsters behind copy and print stores like Kinkos, Staples, Office Depot and so on. Where I'm from, as long as there isn't a 'No Trespassing' sign or if the dumpster isn't locked up you can rummage through it. Since most of these places don't serve/sell food items the only thing you need to check on is if it has rained recently and the contents will be wet. And when I say dumpster diving, you don't necessarily have to actually climb into the large Waste Bin. As for dumpster diving etiquette, don't do it at night where it looks suspicious and if you're asked what your doing tell the truth, you're looking for craft supplies. 99% of the times I've been asked it get an "Oh, cool. What do you make?" There is that small chance someone will ask you to leave because of store policy or something of the sort, but they've always let me keep what I had already dug out. Bring some of those Dollar Store long reach grabbers along with you. If you're nervous about just jumping in, ask the store manager if you can and tell them why you're looking. You can find all kinds of supplies like, already mentioned, chip board, cardboard in sheets not as a box, blank paper both coloured and plane white, packing Styrofoam and some craft store throw away's. Yes, hit that craft store dumpster too. And, depending on what you're doing, some scenery items can be found in your back yard. Good luck and keep crafting.
I actually like the house unpainted. Looks like part of a burned village.
I know I'm late on commenting, but when it comes to finding chipboard, check with your local printer. I work for a print shop, and regularly use .022" chipboard in 12x18", down to 8.5x11". That may be thinner than what you use, but depending on area or shop, they may be able to get the thicker chip.
Chip board is used a lot in book binding too, so finding supplies through stores fronts that cater to book arts may help. Otherwise, look out at Michaels for when they do the sales on artist paper pads, and maybe give paper mache a thought unless you've got a need for a lot of paper used elsewhere.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Just what I was looking for
I just want to thank you for all this info!…. I am one of those that just stumbled upon your videos, IT JUST POPPED UP! I’m an extremely crafty person and have spent the past hour watching several of your videos. In awe of this art. I’m not someone into D&D but am inspired to use this art in another way. I’m huge into Christmas, when decorating the inside of my house it looks like Hallmark Christmas on Steroids 😅…. I’ve been looking for inspiration on a long term stable way to make a gingerbread house village. I’m loving this and it’s not a huge craft investment, I have most of everything you’ve suggested….. again THANKS YOU!!
EVA= Ethylene-vinyl acetate, EVPA= Expanded polyvinyl alcohol, it's basically the same as EVA just more environmentally friendly, or did you mean the one called uPVC, PVC= Polyvinyl Chloride, it has plasticizers added to it to make it softer and flexible, the stuff your talking about is uPVC= unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride which is used to make the dense plastic. Either way thank you for all the great info, love the show, keep up the great work.
Beginner here. I sure wish I'd seen this a month ago. I did exactly as you said. I watched a bunch of videos and bought enough stuff to do miniature everything - ponds, mountains, paints galore (easel and canvases), sawdust, tapes, glues, rocks, wire, clay, tools, and for sure...Popsicle sticks! AND THEN I needed containers to put things in and got shelving for the containers. I live in a small apartment. Please know that before I buy even one more thing, I will try to find a video of yours on it first. LOL Thanks for being you!
Jeremy, before seeing your video where you talked about PVA glue causing warping I made a 14" long dungeon tile and used......you guessed it! PVA glue! Is there any way to stop the warping of the cardboard base? I've thought about gluing popsicle to the bottom or maybe using a mix of plaster and paper mache (which comes out much like scuptamold) I don't want to throw it away
That Tshirt is sick af. Where can I get one of those?
Has anyone successfully used hardboard for diorama bases, at least smallish ones, like 5" square? Seems like it would work, and Dick Blick always has a good price on packs of 50. I just don't want them to bow of course when carrying the things around. Also, I HATE floral foam. My mother was a florist, too, and that stuff is horrid.
I am just getting into the hobby myself, and have found all of your videos super helpful! In regards to buying XPS foam, I actually found that my local Home Depot sold little 2ftx2ft squares, made breaking into the hobby and transporting it super easy!
19:13 made me feel so much less intimidated :D on so many channels that work with Minis you see all these fancy tools that it sometimes feels like you get psyop'd into opting to buy these things but in the end, most of it can be outplayed by basic tools used the right way :D
a painful hard lesson - buy a cheap kitchen steel (blade sharpener) EVA users especially take note. nothing worse than going through dozens of crappy blades in one build. a quick wizz up and down a steel and presto - a new (sharp) blade ready to slice with precision for the next 2 or 3 cuts...... i make it a rule to sharpen after each cut because believe me all you need is one daggy snaggy cut to ruin you build, day and mood and sods law says its your last piece of material at 6pm aaarrggghhhh
Well done on your production quality of your videos. It’s not easy, and you do a hell of a job.
My first build, not very good?!... Speak for your self! *Chuckles*
I was let on to your channel by a relative, good content man! Made my first house yesterday and it turned out awesome!!
Tip: if you're a thrifty crafter buy a good boxcutter with beefy blades like a olfa. You get a leather strip and add polishing/abrasive compound and strop the blade often and you wont need to replace blades all the time. Woodworking trick that works equally well for foam and the like
Wow Dungeon Craft!
I managed to get the main tools and materials except for foamboard... The one I got is a sandwich with polycarbonate instead of polystyrene inside...
Do you know how polycarbonate behave? Ever tried it?
Superglue (cyanoacrylate): [sci-AN-oh - AH-krill-ate]
A basic tool set is must for building models cutters, xacto knifes, files, tweezers, and foam files used for nails. Also withe glue you need decal setting solution amazon has good basics set listed under gundam tool sets and they sell the decal solution from Microsol one brand I believe any company like tamyia who sells paint for model makes a decal setting solution.. love your channel also look at the model railroading videos for tips to make rivers and grass and other terrains the principals r the same 👍👍👍
a good way to find out what a material is called in your country and language is to google ''*name-of-the-material* reverso'' or to go check it in the wikipedia and select to read the same article in your language. that will give you the name you need to look for. you may need to do a bit more investigating if you are a spanish speaker. always good to look for youtube channels, subreddits and other communities of your country, so you can get an idea of terminology, available materials, brands, stores that make deliveries, and more.
Pour les français: Le "Mod podge" 11:23 c'est du "Vernis colle", on peut en trouver en magasins de bricolage (Leroy Merlin, Castorama...) au rayon peinture ou dans les magasins d'art créatifs (Cultura...) au rayon de décorations de petits objets en MDF. Certains l'utilisent pour coller des serviettes en papier sur ces objets.
I have a really hard time getting the paper off of foamcore like in some of your videos. It just doesn't come off without scrubbing hard underwater, which ruins the texture and introduces gouges.
Newbie pro tip.... Ace Hardware sells the purple foam in 2'x2' squares. You pay a little extra but it is worth the dollar if space is a limiting factor for you.
Haters are like taxes. The more success you have the more there are. But they never outweigh the gifts that you bring to the table!!! You inspire me and all of us to bring our own gifts to the table.
So do like that singer and shake, shake that bullcrap off!
Killer video. I too have lived in construction.
chipboard is easy to find in cities through packaging supply companies. Many places it might be found for free. Recycling plants don't care for it in their corrugated product.
Thabk you so much!!! I've been looking for a material explanation video. And this is the first proper explanation.
Sadly Readi-board foam board is unavailable in Quebec as Dollar Tree doesn't have any locations further east than Ontario. Not sure why.
love that t-shirt. where did you get it?
Please add a list of all the materials you mention! I just lost the time code for the dollar store stuff.
Abraham Mancilla 22:50
I got a pack of brushes from Dollar Tree. I primed my first Mini with it. After it dried, I noticed hairs dried into my mini. That sucked.
I found this to be super useful. I am new in the hobby and totally dig it. But you hit the nail on the head I heard 1 million different things from 1 million different sources. This was the first helpful one I actually watched out of the two many to count before.
Im a roofer who works in new construction housing developments and i get all my xps foam from the dumpsters. sometimes it has dirt or concrete on it but that comes off pretty easy. same goes for PVC pipes.
completely overwhelmed with the basics? yep!
Preordered a 3d printer, and am scrambling to get this new hobby underway
So both extruded and expanded start with E and have an X .. Good times
good place for foam is ask the local insulation installer, he will usually have a mountain of cut end pieces you can get for free or for real cheap. another great video for knowledge BMC.
I love how you say drop kick the xps foam in the parking lot to make it smaller to fit in your car. I know some of your followers have definitely done this. *cough*
You can find chip board I find it when people are throwing out ika store frenature they use that in cheap dresser drawers I take it apart and have stacks of the stuff to make small box's or what ever.
Oasis foam is made to absorb and retain water and it attacks mucus membranes and tear ducts mercilessly when it is dry. I used to work at a floral wholesaler, and I've been to the Oasis factory.
I should have watched this night, I kung fu'd my insulation foam board last night in the parkinglot 😆
My favorite acronym is KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid. I have to remind myself of this a lot, because I get these grandiose ideas, with limited utility or means of execution. Most recently, I had an idea for a massive cathedral. Cool concept, no place to keep it, and little potential for use.
Ive never heard this and I love it!
