You should watch Studson studios because he is a hidden jewel
@@rasputin829 I have and I do :)
Recently subscribed to loot and it is really fun and is giving me something to do while I figure out what models I want to make myself.
To help with the warping, wouldn’t it have been easier to nail in that final board with small wood or carpentry nails? If you’re worried about gaps, use the wood glue in conjunction with the nails.
Hey, I have a qualifying porpoise! His name is Jeff, and he- wait, you're not a porpoise at all! It's a mimic!!! Heeeeeeelp!!!!!
I kinda wanna make a whole bookshelf of book nooks. Dozens of little worlds, trophies of my creations as a dm.
that would be so cool
That's something I would love to see. An entire library gallery of book nooks!
@@minehermit heck, do different campaign settings! Faerun, ravenloft, dark sun, planescape.
As a DM, I want to put a book nook into a library the party visits, and upon opening the nook, they release the miniature mimic that was inside. It does 1 damage per bite but 1d4 poison damage until an antidote is found. The real hard part: telling the librarian that they "broke" his favorite "figurine"...
@@TJtheBee thats great, sounds like a rwal fun time.
Who would have thought when you made a dungeon tile tutorial video a few years ago, you'd be making a video like this and be getting it sponsored. Been a joy to watch this channel grow and your skills develop over the years
Dude I love it when you do projects for yourself, your passion really shows through!
BEST BUILD MONTAGE MUSIC YET! Just need some cheesy 80's lyrics over the top of it! "YOU'RE THE BEST! AROUND!"
I want the music from 13:00 set to a conga line of different-shaped mimics. Then a sped-up version as they go back the other way tripping, rolling, and flailing.
I was literally just thinking that, and saw this while listening
How UA-cam been going this comments going be copy right strike and suspend your account. 😅
God, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I started laughing at "because it's not that sticky" and then I started guffawing at "It was PISSING resin out the back." We have ALLLLLL made terrible mistakes, this was so recognizable and relatable. And yet everything turned out great. Underdark. Freakin' inspired.
Unfortunately the majority of people on UA-cam dont like dnd or let alone heard of it but it's an amazing experience for every adventure you go on so it'll be special to us people who will cherish the moments that each of us have experienced
... and now I know the term "Book Nook"! I know what one is, but I've never heard the name.
I think the reason I love your videos so much and find them so helpful is that you keep in the screw ups and explain how you went about fixing them, what went wrong etc. Lessons learned are of course very useful for yourself for future projects, but thank you for keeping them in your videos so we can learn from them too
DUDE! my wife and I basically live in a library, and I've been wanting to make a bunch of book nooks for our home! So once again black magic craft to the rescue! Your awesome! keep being awesome! AWESOME!
One thing (out of many) that I love so much about your videos is that you don't hide your mistakes or pretend they never happened by remaking something or just glossing over it. I'm a sculptor in polymer clay and have relatively recently branched out into dioramas and the like, and I have found all of your videos so helpful and really fun to watch while working, and I've especially learned from when things have goofed up for you too. Thanks for being super humble about your crafting and your art, and thanks for sharing your talents and imagination with the rest of us!!
Book nook always meant something different to me. When I was a kid a book nook was a dormer or bay window with a several foot wide sill that had a cushion across it and either a lid and chest under or shelves built into the wall for storing your books. It was a place to sit indoors and read while still basking in the sunlight and hopefully having a pleasant view.
Yes. Words can mean different things.
Been playing D&D just a year, building and painting terrain and minis for 6 months, wanted to do a book book forever! A perfect combination of all 3! Thanks a bunch mate! Love the vids
Book nook* 😂 F spell check
Hey, in most cases a way to counteract or even prevent the warping you encountered in your build is to paint both sides of the piece you are working on. Often it's not the moisture in the paints/modelling compounds that causes the warping but the way the stuff dries. By covering both sides the drying material will "pull" to one side and vice versa thus levelling each other out. Worked in a lot of cases for me.
Cheers
Y.
Usually applying to other side doesn’t fix the warp, just changes/lessens it. While it’s true that shrinking material usually causes warp/pull the tiny bit of binder in a thin layer of craft paint isn’t strong enough to pull 1/4” mdf.
Mistakes were made and hiccups keep showing up, but by god he keeps trucking through and improvises and takes notes. Such great content that shows me how mistakes lead to ideas and creativity isn’t a rule book. Thank you
I love the idea of using minis for a book nook! I had seen other book nooks that were fantasy themed but this one seemed like something I could actually do with the help of my FDM printer. The only problem is finding a book shelf that isn't already overloaded with books.
You too? I had to donate about three bags of books to get them to fit on the shelves I have.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Oh yeah. The problem is I have too many interests and see the good in too many books. I remember where I got most of them which makes cutting down my collection consistently more challenging. I just have to live with the pains of being a bibliophile, I suppose.
@@mr.themapman3462 I have embraced the e-reader revolution, which has severely cut the number of physical books I buy, let me donate some physical books for which I have e-copies, and made moving a less painful proposition.

In 2008, I moved with about 100 boxes of books, and my brother and friends hated me for it. In 2017 I had about 40 boxes of books, and there was some grumbling. This summer, I moved with about 27 boxes of books, and there was nary a peep about it.

WOW, you are good! Not a lot of people have your confidence when things go south but you prove that if you just bugger threw then you can still get amazing results and experience. So that being said +500 xp in my book!
a old trick i learnt with painters tape , i put on the tape and then add a layer of cloth tape, so the painters tape removes easy but the cloth gives it more strength to stay where it should, love it and might try a Cthulhu one later in the year
Man, I don't have any table top rpg books or anything, but I really wanna make a d&d tavern book nook or something now. Uh, I guess I could go d&d-adjacent and work off of the books I do have and make an Adventure Zone or Quest for Glory nook! Ooh, Hotel Mordavia would probably translate VERY well into mini form! Thanks for the video and the inspiration, man! I love how your book nook turned out :D
Edit: Now I'm super over thinking this Hotel Mordavia book nook idea and wondering if there'd be an easy and inexpensive way to add a speaker into it that would play the Hotel Mordavia theme and/or some of the absurd conversations of the Mordavian Townsfolk....
You don't make mistakes, you try it first so we can learn from your experience! This was an awesome build!!!
Nice build Jeromy. It's a perfect way to show off those prints from Loot Studios. I went and subscribed with then right after you did that first build from them and have even picked up the earlier months prints. I love the mini's from then as they are so detailed. Some of the best mini's I've seen. Thanks for turning me on to them.
So cool!

Looks awesome, the waters fine, looks like a stagnant pool. Well done
I just recently discovered your channel and I am totally in love with your designs and creativity, I am now saving up for a 3d printer while gathering supplies. Thank you for introducing me to Loot I am definitely going to use their site for many of my own miniature collections.
Feels like some printed spines at the top over the black construction paper would have been super cool
Always a delight. And now I'm going to have to try making a book nook. Come to think of it, these would be a perfect gift for a book lover wouldn't they? Holidays are just around the corner...
Love these book nooks; So many good ones all over the net, mostly Harry Potter or similar . This makes a change from the run of the mill. Another great creation from BMC. All the best.
The book nook looks super cool, and the video had really great pacing. Quite enjoyable to watch.
Love your videos. They actually inspired me to move away from 3D printing and start trying my hand at some foam crafting. Thank you for all the content!
In case you wanted to try. Since your board warped, if you painted the other side it will warp back to flat. Simple but it works!
Love loot studios. Its the coolest feeling when your favorite content creators like the same things/ know each other. I definitely gotta try this
What an interesting, fun video. I had never heard of a Book Nook but I love the idea. One of my interests is railways, full-size and model, and I 've a good-sized library of railway books. You've got me thinking now, some kind of railway scene in a book nook could look pretty cool. I might need to go just a wee bit wider than yours but I don't see that being a problem.
Thanks for such a great idea, given me something to think about. 👍👌😁
Train tunnel book book!
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial As simple as that sounds, it could be rather effective. Just keep it totally simple, a tunnel mouth about a quarter of the way back, ballasted track disappearing into a mostly dark tunnel, with faint lighting on the walls and, of course, some kind of train poking out, maybe with a headlight. Depending on the height of the books on the shelf, the terrain above the portal could be of any required height. I like it !! 😁👍
I'm glad you're working through all the resin problems before I try it, thanks
That look fantastic on your shelf! I honestly didn't know the Book Nook was a thing, but watching you make one is definitely inspiring. Thanks!
I'm sure you already have a solution in mind, but I figured I'd share something that has given me good results. Prior to assembly, layer up a couple thin coats of a fast drying spray primer, once dry, paint and throw a sheet of wax paper on top with some books/weights just in case.
Keep a roll of painters tape to help hold stuff like when you have the side panel off at first or using it as a straight edge to trim the foam.
Really nice work, mate. And the colors are awesome! Much respect for showing which steps didn't work so good, too!
Cool idea, liking the new music. Use plexiglass to hold resin. Then take it off after.
It's came out really great and it looks so cool between your books
Great vid, really love you using your different skills from traditional build, 3D printing and the LED tech. What will the next nook be? How about a spooky forest or underground crypt with a hero fighting back zombies on steps?
I've taken this idea and the lava tiles and combined them in to something that takes up a whole shelf!
I didnt know what book nook is untill now. But now I want to make a lot of them!
Imma be real with you chief... I'd love to see a gaming board/mat/table that has its design based off of those old school kids' playmats. The ones with the roads and buildings, taking those from the 2nd dimension and bringing it to the third dimension would be pretty cool. Especially if it was given a bit of fantasy or sci-fi flavor depending on whether you wanted to use it for D&D/Warhammer or Starfinder/Star Wars/Warhammer
again, you leaving in your mistakes and how you fixed them is SO HELPFUL, it's taught to not approach projects as just follow-the-steps but to improvise and try things even if they fail I know that that's not a solution. love your videos!
As much as you faced some problems in this, I feel like the lower lights actually really helped. Made me think of Drizzt, and how the under dark was portrayed. Awesome job.
You make me join so many STL groups. I joined Colossal last week and printed "The Dude" and put him on a flying carpet from Raging Heroes "Thieves of the Shadowsands" collection. Now I gotta go join Loot for their Underdark collection. Thanks for all the inspiration. As usual, I'll let them know you sent me.
Don, do you have a link for Colossal that we might be able to see what they have available?
You can check out my vid from last week, I used one of their minis for it and go over their service and designs: ua-cam.com/video/TfrJxFDTLNI/v-deo.html
Awesome! Check out the PDF of the original AD&DII Drow book! It's soooo good.
I enjoy that you make these as they're not perfect and thus we all learn more in the process. Thank you for making this book nook!
So glad you did this! My wife & I follow your vids & totally enjoy the muse & tips you provide. We also use Loot Studios' models. I don't have a resin printer yet, but I've got my settings dialed in for excellent quality with my Ender 5! Always looking forward to what you'll do next! Cheers!
Very nice... if I can find the time between my other projects I'll try to do one on my channel as well. Love it, good work.
Adding the links from diff countries is a great idea
This is one of my favorite projects in a LONG time. Awesome work. Cool music. Underdark theme. It's got it all.
Very cool! I love seeing different creators make these book nooks, the level of creativity they bring to it is so inspiring.
This is so awesome. Unfortunately I have run out of shelf space and now have books stacked on the floor in my office. Guess I need a new house.
Very cool! I've got ideas for making some of these as gifts now. Thanks.
I love this video so much - I've watched it like three times! This book nook and some other really cool ones I have seen (Nerd Forge x 2, Rachel Maksy) have got me inspired to give it a go! 😬Also really enjoyed the music choice in this video and seeing how stoked you were about the project ✨
I am a wood worker an got too say you did really good on that, but the mdf is super cheap but as you saw it warped really fast just with painting on it. Really like it so I might do one
This was a really cool project. Looks like fun. I feel your disappointment with the resin not glowing at the front but it still looks amazing on the shelf.
I really enjoy your new format and music. Great job and great book book!
Actully the dirty water looks like dirty ice to me, or even a large chunk of crystal.
I love watching you 'free create '
So fun!
I need to make some of these for sure. Such a great thing for a gift too.
Interesting to watch this. Your approach is very different to mine. I'm all about the cheap materials and trying to incorporate some of the elements into the scene (like making pillars and a lintel to cover the edges at the front), whereas yours is more about the dynamics of the moment - the confrontation with the Dryder. I'm using cardboard boxes, packing paper, PVA, DIY wall filler and some tablet tubes with a PP3 battery and LED string. One luxury I did go for was Green Stuff World's plasticard walls.
It is so cool to see the evolution of your videos! Your channel is one of my favorites that got me table top crafting and now I am excited to make my own booknook!!
The moment I saw this I thought of the scene with Drizzt and his brother in book 7 (no spoilers) 🤔 definitely will have to try this out on my own time. Great inspiration. Thanks!!
If you ever try it again or try a different scene, I think less resin would be ideal for such a small diorama. Other than that, a quick diy turned out amazing. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I've also found using Tamiya or Reaper Clear paints colors the resin without adding so much opacity as you get from inks and the water tints.
Question, Who the heck dislikes any of these videos. BMC is awesome!
Haters gonna hate
Cool book nook! I enjoyed watching you build it. Thanks for sharing your mistakes
Please make another D&D book nook. Maybe a demilich lair with adventures
Another great video thank you, I was told to stop warping on thin sheet material you should paint both side
Make another book nook however… make it a wanderlust imaginary sci-fi scene… someone sitting on a bench reading while the stars are gleaming and sci-fi activity is present above him without even knowing! maybe in a Central Park kinda vibe (although dark and eerie) almost as if he’s in the realm of his very own book!!!
Yes, you should do that!
Very nice Jeremy! You finally done it. I love it. I just received my LED and some electrical switch from amazon today, I will be able to do mine. Thx for the inspiration. You are a great help for the community.
This is great! Awesome build and I'm really glad you like the end product. It's great to see you take the mishaps along the way in stride. It's always a pleasure to watch one of your videos.
Dude thank you for the incredible video! I love the whole underdark theme and it makes me want to do something similar with some Gloomspite Gitz models I have lying around.
I loved this project. Make more nooks
Simply AMAZING.
Greetings from Spain.
Your videos are Awesome and helpful. I have learned so much from your videos alone. Thank you!
I'd love to visit your workshop. Every nook and cranny has its own little world.
What about a "Book Nook" with a clear acrylic side to be able to see the features inside better? In addition there could be more than one side being clear, such as one side and top.
Dude! I originally subscribed to your channel to learn all your terrain tips specifically for my book nooks! Which I started making back in March. So glad to see you making one. :-)
Love the synthwave in between ! gives it a pro feeling and its also very catchy. Makes me wanna go paint/build/dance !
Absolute Cool Thanks for the Amazon Germany link
It is a very cool project and it turned out really well.
I love this!! You just crushed it.
i was really hoping you were gunna break out a mirror for this. the final build is pretty cool but i LOVE when i see these with mirrors used to give the illusion of depth. takes it up to 11 for me, so sadly i can only give you a 10 out of 10.
You should make one. With a mirror 😀
Mirrors in book nooks are cool, but they need a lot of planning beforehand to get the look right.
Man, if I had anywhere to put a 3d printer, I'd be up for that subscription in a heartbeat, those models look really cool.
Just as a suggestion, might not be new to you at all. But saw you were having trouble with the spray can of the super 77, not sure if you do it. But all rattle can formats if you aren't going to use it all up in one spray session. Turn the can upside down and spray upside down until it sprays out only propellant as it will clear the tip from any gunk. You always have more propellant in the cans than you need but just as a hack to stop rattle cans getting tips gunked up. I always do it to any rattle cans I use. You might already do this but just suggestion. Thanks for the awesome videos and keep up the good work.
My man! Awesome! My girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I've been struggling with gift ideas, but I think this is it!
cool piece, if you keep doing the trial and error with resin you're gunna be a pro at mastering that element.
Wife and I love D&D nice job sir
you know with the light only coming from behind the dwarf it looks more foreboding then if all the water was green and glowing, as though there was something waiting for him to fall like angers with the fishing lure
So much fun! I gotta do this.
Very nice and inspiring. I really like the few back views when we see you working, it teach us how important it is to protect ourselves and give "humanity" to the video.
About the wraping effect on the mdf or hardboard stuff, you can paint on the other side to make it come back to something more flat.
looks great! Art is a process.
So... it's a fancy bookend.
It looks neat.
This was AWESOME!!!!!
That would be so awesome to make one of those. But my book shelf is full to capacity with rpg books! Lol
Amazing work! I love your videos, so inspiring
I wonder if there would be a market for something like this? Make them and then sell them for a good markup for those who aren't near this good at crafting.
Cool build! Amazing work!
It turned out pretty fantastic, remember we learn from our mistakes next time it will absolutely amazing.👏👏👏👍👍👍
