According to many comments, this requires explanation....🤦♂️ It walks on legs, not rolls on wheel. The wheel is raised slightly off dungeon floor. Wheel could spin either direction.
I thought the central wheel with spikes rolled backwards as the machine rolled forward while the scythe arms scoops victims menacingly as it helps the machine walk over debris, then one might say "but the spikes are too long, they would hit the ground below" not really, if the surface at the base of the spikes we are seeing was instead just a hollow sleeve with holes, the actual wheel with spikes inside could be spinning slightly off center higher inside the machine: longer spikes on the top, just the tips of the spikes at the bottom. Also, I agree with you to look to the model before moving on, but honestly I loved the final bronze version much more, for some reason ancient mechanical constructs (from fantasy) look much cooler (imho) if made out of bronze a metal the old ones figured out how to use in the beginning of our civilization rather than iron or steel Loved the build, man!!!
The center row moving freely from the outer wheel is also a perfectly reasonable option. That’s the thing, there’s so many ways you can explain the mechanics of this thing. I’ll never understand people getting hung up on only the one way they can imagine. Think it through folks! Use your creativity!
I thought it was self explanatory from the video. I mean, if anyone has a basic understanding of how things move, he said the spikes rotated backwards to impale the character, they’d scrape against the ceiling, then back into the basket. How didn’t anyone understand that?! 😂
It's the Hall Crawler, Make way for the Hall Crawler! They designed a real deal Mauler! Press against the wall, try to get smaller! It's time for the Dungeon Hall Crawler! It's the Hall Crawler, Make way for the Hall Crawler! No mercy from the Dungeon Trawler! It makes all the hero's holler!
Explosives like oil and alcohol bottles or a fireball that lands well maybe a heat metal spell or figure out how to jam up or break the leg mechanics to buy enough time to break the machine into being useless. maybe get a giant metal door stop or two so that the wheel mechanic can be stopped.
Have an NPC join them in the dungeon, just like at the start. The NPC gets separated from them, maybe a rotating wall or some such. Later, if they manage to defeat the machine, they could find the corpse of the NPC in the basket.
I REALLY want to face this thing so I can throw my Immovable Rod in front of it. Great trap! Super evocative design, super readable, the INSTANT you see this thing you know EXACTLY what it does. 10/10
I love your words to yourself near the end. They remind me of the greatest crafting lesson I ever learned: At some point, the thing you're working on will be as good as you can get it. It won't be perfect, but for right then, you've done everything you can do to make it better and anything else you do will make it worse. What separates really good crafters from only middling-good crafters is the ability to see that moment just before it happens, instead of just after.
0:25 Haha! I’d recognize those juice lids anywhere! They’ve been in my greeblie box for months now. This is awesome. Very awesome. I love this channel so much. Thanks for everything you do, man
Thank you for showing that it is ok to develop your work as you go along. Too many times I have stopped before something in mid-process because it wasn't just right the first time. I love seeing the way you work and adapt.
This is a cool build. The lids are not recognisable, and the style fits well for some grim fantasy, steampunk horror or even some postapocalyse setting. Good work 🙃
I have been a fan for quite a while and with the stay at home order here in Arizona I have had a lot of time to work on my crafting. Your channel has been the source of several builds and inspired new ideas of my own. I find it amazing how you re-use parts, scraps and odds and ends to make new things for your players. Oddly enough I have two spare lids that I was thinking along similar lines. Your build is going to take my initial plan to the next level (Love the body catcher on the back)!
Agreed total Labyrinth "Oh no! It's the Cleaners!" Total party save - Immovable rod, or wall of stone time! Selfish save...misty step, dimension door, then pick up your friends in pieces.
When I first saw it, I thought its method of locomotion would be the central barrel spinning, which would pull adventurers underneath it Which honestly, seems far more terrifying
Just needs something to funnel the players into the centre spikes unless the legs can pivot. What a crazy meat grinder... I love it and I agree with you on the painting, but it is awesome as it is. Keep up the excellent work and thanks for sharing and bringing a much need smile to my face.
One of our daughters stopped by yesterday. I’m trying to get all our grown “kids” back into gaming. I had this video running, & she seemed interested. I restarted it, and she watched whole thing with me - “Hey Dad, that’s pretty cool!” Me: “Well, maayyybe you could run until that thing if we all gamed again....” Her: “That could be fun! Yeah!” :-D
By far the most enjoyable part is the end when you are playing like my 6 yo - making the machine noises and the characters' death yells. Excellent crafting to boot!
Oh man, clearly it’s been too long since I’ve watched Labyrinth because I totally forgot about that scene! Time to teach the kid about the goblin king!
There’s a brand of almond milk that comes in a bottle with these type of lids, and there is no branding on the top of the lids… I buy mine at Sobey’s but I think it’s available at Safeway and maybe super store as well
I think I watched this whole video with a grin on my face. Why is it the grossest, goriest builds that delight me the most? Love this crazy thing and you are awesome, Jeremy!
Got my husband hooked on you. So I cant watch this video until he's done building my book shelf lol. I love him liking my youtubers but its annoying that he's so busy.
If I didn't know anything about you as a DM and you showed me this creation, I would absolutely be ready to sit at your table based on the aeshetic alone. Mad props also for you saying that it is up to the players to figure out how to get past it, not you as the DM. I agree with that logic 100% and never worry about building an escape plan into my designs. Speaking of which, I am going to steal this one, maybe update it a bit for some post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror and stat it out for my own game, although it would certainly fit that genre as is. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi, I just ran across an old video of yours on priming Bones and Wizkid figures and laugh my behind off. It was me in a nut shell. A few years ago I bought a Reaper Bones Frost Giant and sprayed it with my favorite primer. What a mess ! I had been painting figures of 40k metal and non-metal and never had a problem so I sprayed the Bones figure. After 2 years I think it is still wet on my shelf. LOL Recently I bought a Wizkid's Beholder and have been afraid to touch it because of my past mistakes. Then I ran across your video of 2 years ago about primers on Bones and Wizkid figures. I now can not wait to start painting. Thank you for a great video. Just wanted to let you know that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Love this thing, gave me inspiration for a dungeon I'm developing. One of its layers will be them having to get past a variation of this rolling through its halls.
Being awake at 4.30am suddenly has a benefit! I sort of stumbled over BMC just before lockdown and even though I don't DnD (sorry!) I've loved watching the videos and picking up tips for my own crafting. One of my favourite things is to put BMC on as a playlist and just craft to it. I love your enthusiasm for what you make. Thank you for sharing your skills!
This thing is sick looking! I’ve found myself lately saving most plastic containers that we’ve emptied at my house. I’m gonna have to sit down and do some experimenting to see what develops.
So stoked to see your videos every week man. Definitely a highlight. A few of your builds the last few weeks have been really awesome abs builds I want to adapt, make, and use in my games..eventually, haha. Thanks friend!
I stumbled on your channel, I have never played dungeons and dragons.. I enjoy crafting and coming up with interesting creations... Thanks for the inspiration and introducing me to this magical world
What is really cool about this is that there could definitely be variants to it! A design with angled spikes to hook corpses and drag them underneath and into the body, for example.
Black you have created some of the most amazing builds I have ever seen anyone do on UA-cam. So here is my question, with all you are learned thought out the years of building stuff. Have you every thought of taking your very 1st house/building you ever built and redoing it over. So you can see how much you have changed over the years and if you could give you go back into the past and give yourself one advice for the future about building stuff, what would it be?
Makes me wanna keep a rust monster in my bag of holding...just...in...case... This is amazing. I love your found item inexpensive creations. I've currently got about 40 dungeon tiles in production. Going to paint 20 for outside desert use and 20 for dark dungeon use. All from your inspiration. I've seen the other dungeon designers on youtube and like their stuff but your content is FAR more entertaining and educational. Keep up the great work.
Awesome idea and execution. Also love that I now know how those washes work/look, cause I always have difficulties finding examples of all those effect paints online.
Now this is the aesthetics I got from the first video I watched of yours, which was the tentacly abomination crawling out of the stone. Really like the darker and scarier stuff. Thanks a lot. Stay healthy and sane :D
I love this build. Had two of those caps as well and didn't know what to do with them. Now I do! One problem I have with the idea is that the center roller would either roll the other way around (dragging everyone under itself) if just dragged on the floor, moving forward. Or it would need some mechanism that'd require a separate body as an axis to rotate around the opposite way.
According to many comments, this requires explanation....🤦♂️

I think I would be cool if it did both
Ok, now it does both 🙂
When the DM described a dungeon cleaner coming toward our party like giant dungeon Roomba of death, it was instantly named "Doomba"
I pictured something 'orrible carrying a mop and bucket.😁 I'll get my coat.
And for those wondering, yes, there are two goblins running inside the wheel to make it move.

**sees a grown man play with the toys he just made himself**
*happy noise and like the video*
i love seeing passionate people with hobbies that “go against the norm” to most
Dude, your channel is like HGTV to me, but a nerd DnD version of it. I love the creativity of your designs.
I hear Jeremy's gears turning, " Ah bloody frigg, how does one kill this?.... screw it, they'll figure it out.... or not?"
0:25 Haha! I’d recognize those juice lids anywhere! They’ve been in my greeblie box for months now. This is awesome. Very awesome. I love this channel so much. Thanks for everything you do, man
That thing is terrifying, I LOVE it. Someone needs to stat this thing out.
I could see that as part of some mad artificers dungeon.
Thank you for showing that it is ok to develop your work as you go along. Too many times I have stopped

"Honestly, I don't see how you get past a thing like this. But that's the players' job to figure out, not mine." Spoken like a true GM.
Immovable rod is the best i would say just bc who dosent love the immovable rod ?😊
I suggest high explosives. A very liberal application. Almost a sacreligious amount to be honest
Ah geeze, you just brought back my childhood fear of that machine from The Labyrinth!
Agreed total Labyrinth "Oh no! It's the Cleaners!" Total party save - Immovable rod, or wall of stone time! Selfish save...misty step, dimension door, then pick up your friends in pieces.
Double Vision Media Liaisons bonus points for selvish save as a druid, and then just reincarnating your friends from the bits.
I've only seen three other people in the comments recognize the similarity to the cleaners :/ it's so sad lol
Obviously it needed a bunch of spikes otherwise what's the POINT! Lol. DAD JOKE ALERT
You need to start "Jeremy's Rules" like Gibb's Rules from NCIS... Rule 1 - If you think it might need more... just walk away first.
Jeremy Rule 2: That’s for the players to figure out.
3:56 "Patience and PVA Glue" should be the name of your autobiography
When I first saw it, I thought its method of locomotion would be the central barrel spinning, which would pull adventurers underneath it
Which honestly, seems far more terrifying
That was a badass build. Really enjoyed this one! And lol on the overdoing it on the paint job. Been there, done that.😅
Phenomenal build - very accessible, and very cool including the in-process pivots - also - loved the mid-credits TPK with sound effects lol
Just needs something to funnel the players into the centre spikes unless the legs can pivot.
What a crazy meat grinder... I love it and I agree with you on the painting, but it is awesome as it is.
Keep up the excellent work and thanks for sharing and bringing a much need smile to my face.
Watching BMC is re-wiring my brain in a good way - first closeup and I'm going "I recognize parts, that's an awesome use of those . . ."
One of our daughters stopped by yesterday. I’m trying to get all our grown “kids” back into gaming. I had this video running, & she seemed interested. I restarted it, and she watched whole thing with me - “Hey Dad, that’s pretty cool!”

:-D
Wow, this looks strikingly close to the "Apparatus of Kwalish" from DnD!
This is awesome!
I love how you use your imagination to create an awesome project with just household objects. I love it!
Loving the fabrication and imagination!
[And the blood splatter!]
This is amazing Jeremy! Would love to see some more trap themed builds!
By far the most enjoyable part is the end when you are playing like my 6 yo - making the machine noises and the characters' death yells. Excellent crafting to boot!
I liked that scene in The Labyrinth.
Oh man, clearly it’s been too long since I’ve watched Labyrinth because I totally forgot about that scene! Time to teach the kid about the goblin king!
The first thing I thought about was how to add goblins pedaling this thing. 😂
Black Magic Craft Jareth was the best dungeon master.
The Cleaner!!
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Now you totally need to make that fountain that has the guys peeing just so your players and viewers can react to it... lol.
Superb! Reminds me of The Labrynth.. "it's the cleaners!"
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well
There’s a brand of almond milk that comes in a bottle with these type of lids, and there is no branding on the top of the lids… I buy mine at Sobey’s but I think it’s available at Safeway and maybe super store as well
Considering we only drink almond milk in our house I might have to switch brands.
I think I watched this whole video with a grin on my face. Why is it the grossest, goriest builds that delight me the most? Love this crazy thing and you are awesome, Jeremy!
Really cool. I sure hope a dungeon door never slams shut behind me
I watched this entire video thinking of ways one could stop this thing. Great build and video!
A terrific improvised build, love these kinds of projects! What a great challenge for players
That thing turned out BRUTAL! Super fun build! I came to check if we had another early video... was not disappointed!
Got my husband hooked on you. So I cant watch this video until he's done building my book shelf lol. I love him liking my youtubers but its annoying that he's so busy.

You really inspire me to continue making minis and terrain and stuff!!!
Keep it up!

Thanks for this. Seeing more scratch-builders out there really motivates me
very nice....the shelves are getting full...creativity and insperation always come in waves....time for more shelves....
Cool concept! The gears are the perfect detail.
Great craft. It's perfect for a dungeon with a long corridor with this thing coming from a side and a jelly cube coming from the other.
Talented, and imaginative! Great job!
The hall crawler looks AMAZEBALLZ! ;D and bless your beautiful brain for coming up with it!
I may actually use something like this in an upcoming session! The players are underground and this seems like an interesting puzzle/fight combo
Great job never quite seen a build like this. Very versatile piece. From D&D, 40k to Shadowrun/Cyberpunk steam punk. Excellent!
This thing is sick looking! I’ve found myself lately saving most plastic containers that we’ve emptied at my house. I’m gonna have to sit down and do some experimenting to see what develops.

Will try this build with my 3 kids in an up and coming adventure! Thanks.
Score Another goal for the home crafted! Great video! Extremely creative! Love the “found objects” series!
What is really cool about this is that there could definitely be variants to it! A design with angled spikes to hook corpses and drag them underneath and into the body, for example.
Reminds me of the cleaners in the labyrinth.

Awesome idea . It would be good as a battlefield clearing device also there is so much potential for story with this
Love this build. Keep rocking
I come here for the crafting, but I stay for the drop dead gorgeous money shots at the end!
All you need is a compass, a craft knife blade, a cut up pencil, and some blue tack to make a ghetto surface cutter.
Great build! Cool trap idea
Awsome! This thing makes me think of Hans Talhoffer ( or Leonardo Da Vinci) books.
Makes me wanna keep a rust monster in my bag of holding...just...in...case...

Definitely need a few more like this
Oh wow, love this. (I screamed when I saw the lids because I have a HUNDRED of those in my bits box!)
😆 love it! I save those lids too, they're a good size for stuff
As always this is Fantastic. The only thing I would Add is super glue bicarb on the caps where you fixed the paper over the logo.
Super awesome and brutal build! 🤘🏻
This is awesome! Knocked it way out of the park.
Nice build. This one really inspires me to toss some menacing traps at my players.
Awesome idea and execution. Also love that I now know how those washes work/look, cause I always have difficulties finding examples of all those effect paints online.
Bloody gnarly! I love this idea! Hmm, I need some blade templates and gears !
Now this is the aesthetics I got from the first video I watched of yours, which was the tentacly abomination crawling out of the stone. Really like the darker and scarier stuff. Thanks a lot. Stay healthy and sane :D
Yes man. Love this build so gnarly. As soon as I saw this I instantly thought I would love to see a mimic build. Have you done one before?
This is brilliant! I freaking LOVE it!
Great idea with using the XPS foam!
That looks awesome! Another fantastic build and super fun video :)
Absolutely beautiful.
Awesome! It reminds me of the weird mechanical killing device operated by goblins in the movie Labyrinth (1986).
I love this build. Had two of those caps as well and didn't know what to do with them. Now I do!

No. It walks on legs, not rolls on wheel. The wheel is raised slightly off dungeon floor. Wheel could spin either direction.
