Crazy to know that NPH knows about you and your amazing videos and props! Great job on the door! I can't imagine all the filament and time it took to print. If it was me, I'd probably have a giant garbage bag full of PLA spaghetti and given up long ago. LOL!
I hope NPH flies you out to his home to see the final installation. I also hope this is the beginning of new heights for your making. Amazing job! Absolutely stunning work.
I've only have been subed for 2 years now but this vid gave me so much joy as a Scenic designer for theaters and occasionally haunted houses and a theater enthusiast! thx so much
This is exactly what you hope for as a maker, a client that’s just as geeked out about the build as you are. What an awesome op! Neil def came to the right person. Turned out fantastic Derek, as always. 👏
I am glad I found this channel. NPH is as good, if not better, in life as in screen. He was president of the Magic Castle and I ran into him and Edward, Neal Patricks pal, at the magic flea market at the castle. I had just lost my wife of 25 years and my father a month later. I was a total wreck. NPH and Ed out up with me rambling and crying. NPH showed me the Houdini tank and story behind it. He didn't have to, neither did Ed, yet they were very kind. He is like that, a regular guy and fellow magician
Given the extremely dangerous nature and incredible special effects involved in your stunt work, I think your stunt double needs a big fat raise (You're welcome Stunt Double!)
I'd love to see Neil Patrick Harris doing a tour of Guillermo del Toro's home. They share similar interests when it comes to collecting and displaying old macabre styled pieces.
NPH??!!!! How cool!!!!!! Great finished product as always. Hoping that you get to see it installed in person, or he sends pics. Would love to see it completely installed. Thanks for sharing!
I downloaded your files of of Etsy and I'm printing this at 80%. I am so excited. So far I just have one corbel completed but it looks fantastic. Thank you for deciding to make the files available for purchase.
This is incredible. My house is all done in Haunted Mansion. I love what you created here. WOW! I live in So Cal and can't get enough of the HM. People come in my house and are shocked to see it. LOL, i love it. Great work.
I'm amazed that you made all of it with 3D printer. I confused why you didn't make most of that out of wood, would have saved you a lot of time. Good job never the less.
I attended a play with NPH a few months ago. Of course, I had no idea until afterwards that he was in the audience with me, he was seated on the other side of the theater. But someone snapped a photo of the audience and I'm on one side and he's on the other, so I'm counting it as a pic of the two of us together. 🤣 This is so cool! I'm such a huge fan of his and of the Haunted Mansion. I feel like this is something I would do if I were rich.
Oh my GOSH! This is looking fantastic! For the spray painting, have you ever used a spray can trigger/grip? I use Rust oleum and it is so worth it! It dramatically reduced finger and wrist strain and for me, gives better control of the spray.
That came out perfect! Was just telling my wife about your channel this morning because I bought some sure bonder glue sticks through your previous video.
I can’t really go into it here but I lost a dear friend recently who was the world’s biggest Haunted Mansion fan (his house was literally part Haunted Mansion), and this video is wonderful on so many levels! Incredibly well done!! 🤘😍🤘
Love it. This is like recreating a past we all remember but never happened. Any chance on seeing it fully installed? That would make fairy-tale complete.
Wow ! How exciting! This turned out amazing ! I do wonder HOW you are getting that to him ? Shipping that would be a nightmare. I think "2 guys and a van" would be cheapest ?! Lol ! Loved the "recreation" by your wife. I hope Neil will send you footage once the door is installed ?!
We're still trying to figure out those logistics, but you're the second person to suggest driving it to him. Neil did say he'd send some footage once it's installed, so I don't think this is the last time you'll see him.
@VanOaksProps If I had the funds, I'ld be tempted to fly out to California, meet you guys, load up a van & drive East & meet him ! Lol ! Would just have to find a crazy friend to help with the driving ! ;) P.s. I am assuming he lives East ? Just guessing by the miles ? Perhaps he lives North or South ?
So this is what you’ve been working on! Monumental! Wow! Also, NPH calling you DY is the first time I realized your middle name needs to start with an I.
You did a great job with this, but I think you made it harder on yourself than necessary. So much of this frame is rectangular, that in my opinion, a pure 3d-printing approach is over-complicated. For future projects, I would strongly recommend building the bulk of it with something like "Rigid Foam Board Insulation Sheathing" from the big-box hardware stores, then 3d-printing just the details.
While there are always multiple ways to do most projects, 3d printing made the most sense rather than using wood (as some other comments have suggested) or foam. The biggest issue with foam is that it's not truly rigid and would have needed to be fiberglassed to make it strong enough to withstand the bumps and bruises that come with shipping, installation, and general wear & tear. The 3d printed parts, because they were hard coated with epoxy, should be much more durable and still relatively lightweight for cross-country shipping.
I'm somewhat disappointed because I thought I was first on the list for a massive HM build... but kidding aside, that is massive and awesome all wrapped up into one!
I hope we get a finished picture when it’s all put together at wherever Mr. Harris is putting it.
For sure!
Crazy to know that NPH knows about you and your amazing videos and props! Great job on the door! I can't imagine all the filament and time it took to print. If it was me, I'd probably have a giant garbage bag full of PLA spaghetti and given up long ago. LOL!
I felt the same way! It was really flattering to hear that he watches.
I hope NPH flies you out to his home to see the final installation. I also hope this is the beginning of new heights for your making. Amazing job! Absolutely stunning work.
Honestly, I had no idea Neil was the one who owned that prop door. That is incredible! Amazing doorframe, too! Fantastic job!
WOW!!! That came out amazing, Derek!!...As if you could not raise the bar any more, you absolutely killed it my friend!!! 💯 out of 💯!!!!
A tremendous project and an epic example of UA-cam's power to connect people with shared passions. Well done on every level!
Thank you!
Excited to check this out!!
Dude!!!! What an awesome build opportunity for an awesome guy. Bravo my friend!
Thanks Brian!!
Having seen this in person, I can confirm it is indeed very large and very impressive!
Nph couldn’t of found a more talented guy for this project! Congrats and great job
Dude i don't know how you stayed so cool talking to NPH. You're both so cool!
He was very easy to talk to.
I've only have been subed for 2 years now but this vid gave me so much joy as a Scenic designer for theaters and occasionally haunted houses and a theater enthusiast! thx so much
Great job! It really turned out fantastic. Loved the video!!

🤣🤣
This is a really amazing opportunity and collaboration. Hope you're able to share some images of the installed final piece once it's all wrapped up
Always good to have a stunt double for those more "dangerous" sections of a project.
I'd love to see Neil Patrick Harris doing a tour of Guillermo del Toro's home. They share similar interests when it comes to collecting and displaying old macabre styled pieces.
Going to see Bleak House is on my bucket list. I refuse to die before I get to go tour the house and maybe even stay the night there. 😂
Heck ya! This looks great Derek really nice job
I absolutly love this build! It really came out well!
The middle face and 2 skulls. VERY COOL
What an announcement! Now I'm curious what other cool things NPH has in his collection. Yours will be a fine addition!
Wow!!! That's incredible! Great job! Can't wait to see it all put together
🤯🤯🤯🤯omg no way u got to work with him 😅😆 thats amazing !!!! My favorite character is barny fro. How i met your mother favorite actor
Congrats on the opportunity and you did an amazing job!! Hope he loves it!
The metalwork at the top looks like a pair of Angry Eyes in the bottom of the metalwork looks like a snarl if you pay close attention
Dream project! Glad NPH asked you to take this on! Well done, sir!
Thanks, Chris!
WOW-Zers... How awesome is that.. Congrats & well done... My favorite @ Disney Land... HAUNTED MANSION /HOUSE... 👌 💞 😋 👏 💯 🎹 👍 💖 🐝 😎 🌹 🐈
Definitely a notable project and milestone. Congratulations on this! I also have a Neptune 3 Max, and I absolutely love it. Great work.
That's beautiful I hope we get to see it when Neil's done.
IT’s massive- (wait for it)
-ly cool!
NPH??!!!! How cool!!!!!! Great finished product as always. Hoping that you get to see it installed in person, or he sends pics. Would love to see it completely installed. Thanks for sharing!
That's the plan!
Thank you so much for sharing! What a great challenge and opportunity for you! :)
Here when I didnt think Neil could get any cooler, I was wrong again. Great work bud!
That is very impressive. I'm speechless, I'm without speech.
That’s one fantastic Haunted Mansion Door Frame, well done to you and your wife. Thank you so much for sharing 🎃💀👻
Very cool! You absolutely crushed it! 👏👏
Thanks for the assist!

Wow what a project and it looks amazing! Love these Haunted Mansion projects and would love to see more. I’m sure you need a rest first!
Not surprised your work has received such recognition! Great job, as always.
Thank you very much!
It just goes to show, you never know who you are inspiring with your videos!
NPH:"I've always been drawn to the brass and the wood..."
Me: Sees the office in the background - "That checks out"
I love your work
I also love the look of Neil’s house.
Thanks for sharing.
I love NPH space he’s in.
Holy smokes that was huge!! Hopefully we can see more from NPH
I adore the work of NPH.
How cool!
Incredible! Neil is so lucky to have this.
I'm amazed that you made all of it with 3D printer. I confused why you didn't make most of that out of wood, would have saved you a lot of time. Good job never the less.

I have. Because some of the areas were a bit tight I chose to go without it so that I wouldn't bang it into any of the freshly painted surfaces. lol
this is INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That came out perfect! Was just telling my wife about your channel this morning because I bought some sure bonder glue sticks through your previous video.
Over the top amazing!! Hope Neil will send photos of install.
Amazing! You should make one for your HM Office!!
I wish! We’d need higher ceilings to make it work
Hell yeah!!!!!!
Fantastic!!! You've set my haunted heart ablaze!!! I need a hall of those now and wallpaper to match!!! 😃
You and me both! And a house big enough to fit them, too. LOL
As always simply fantastic and amazing. It is always a a pleasure to watch you create. It get my creativity brain engaged as well.
Awesome Awesome. Love It.❤❤❤❤😊🎉
Wow, great tutorial as ever, would love to see the finished product installed :)
Great work! Can't wait to see it all in place!
I can’t really go into it here but I lost a dear friend recently who was the world’s biggest Haunted Mansion fan (his house was literally part Haunted Mansion), and this video is wonderful on so many levels! Incredibly well done!! 🤘😍🤘
May their memory always be a blessing.
@@VanOaksProps Thank you for the kind words. ❤️
Amazing work from the master him self 🥰🥰
Very cool. Turned out great!
Mr Harris, we have the same hobby. I love collecting magic items of wood and brass.
Amazing, turned out awesome 👏🏻
This is amazing, keep up the fantastic work Derek!
You should do the haunted mansion clock next, that would be so cool
Love it. This is like recreating a past we all remember but never happened. Any chance on seeing it fully installed? That would make fairy-tale complete.
That’s the plan once he gets it installed.
FANTASTIC!!
Wow - this is amazing! Gives me major anxiety thinking about all those print hours.
So cool! Fully inspired.
Wonderful!
This was fun to watch, like all your videos. Would love too see the installed door.
Beautiful!
Once again Derek and VanOaks create kickass HM props! 🔥🔥🔥
The door of my dreams!!!!!
Wow ! How exciting! This turned out amazing ! I do wonder HOW you are getting that to him ? Shipping that would be a nightmare. I think "2 guys and a van" would be cheapest ?! Lol !
Loved the "recreation" by your wife.
I hope Neil will send you footage once the door is installed ?!

Hahaha. Yes, he's on the east coast.
@@VanOaksProps As am I ! (Massachusetts)
WOW is that beautiful!!!!! Next question - how the does heck it get to its home!?!?! Great job - looks amazing
Thank you! It’ll get a custom crate built and then will be packed up and shipped.
So this is what you’ve been working on! Monumental! Wow! Also, NPH calling you DY is the first time I realized your middle name needs to start with an I.
That’s awesome!

Cool story, learned something I never knew about Neil.
wow.. great and epic model.. To bad we couldn't see the install of the door and foam together.
In time…
Another amazing job!
Bravo, sir. Bravo!
Amazing work Derek 👊🏻

I'm somewhat disappointed because I thought I was first on the list for a massive HM build... but kidding aside, that is massive and awesome all wrapped up into one!
