Where a lot of others are laser printing parts and using expensive tools that no one can afford, it was very nice to see such nice work using the most basic tools. My respects to you! Beautiful.

They aren’t ‘expensive tool no one can afford’…they are tools for different people. Ei. Hobbyists and professionals. Professionals started as hobbyists too, but when you are skilled enough and you no longer find interest in overly repetitive tasks, you are being paid, and you are on a time crunch…you get professional tools.

[@mariadefatimareis6147]

Parabéns, muito inteligente, lindo,

[@powertothebauer296]

spydertravel. what is expensive tools ,if this guy can't even buy a fret saw and a razor saw as well a pin vice or a hand drill. all this tools together are cheaper than his Swiss Army knife. btw nice cottage

[@greasymcpatty]

When I was just a little kiddo, I liked to make little fairy houses. But all I had were styrofoam cups, duct tape, markers, and scissors, but I did the best I could. It makes me smile to see something like this in the making.

[@lushkitty734]

Hrmmmm.... What decade were you a child? When I was in late elementary school (around aged 9), Legos already existed. Prior to that, there was Lincoln Logs that came in a tall, cylindrical canister. And Barbie with her inflatable furniture as well as Playskool's Little People that were made out of plastic heads and wooden bodies ... the latter with a tri-storied garage, an aeroport, construction site, and a house that opened up like a book... And other Playskool toys that were made from hybrid materials of plastic and wood. I had the ENTIRE Playskool family as well as two dollhouses, the aeroport/plane, garage, and a musical merry-go-round/ferris wheel.

[@linas-oh3kq]

​@lushkitty734 Hummmmm..... In what DECADE were you a HUMAN WITH A HEART? Sounds like you had toyland handed to you on a silver platter. Well, a lot of us aren't that lucky! Some of us are born into poor families and have to appreciate what we have and make use of what we get. But of course you privileged few. Never think about that. Because your all to wrapped up in yourselves. It seems like greasymcpatty's childhood could've been like that and FLAUNTING YOUR RICHES LIKE YOUR DOING DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY BETTER THEN HER/HIM EITHER! 😠

[@greasymcpatty]

@@linas-oh3kq Easy now. I'm not upset at her.

[@gamingbug283]

I used to build fairy houses for the Rolly Polly's everywhere I went out of leaves and sticks when I was little, did that from three to ten years of age. It was great to just sit under a tree and find cool rocks while looking for bugs to build a house for.

[@crush3095]

I DEEPLY enjoyed that part of my childhood

[@aligracesherbalplace6159]

For Those wanting to know what the paste is I think it's mosaic stone cement. 20$ for 2lbs in my area.

[@lzsuzsa1]

What is the spray at the end?

[@SiljeMeum]

@@lzsuzsa1 Probably A sealant spray for grout.

[@tysonatkins2236]

The clear coat really shows the beauty of the rocks! Awesome cottage!

So wonderful to see someone actually use basic and simple crafting. With natural materials.well done

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

[@davidallard5788]

What I like about this video is the artist doesn't use a bunch of expensive "fancy" tools; just what is on hand.

[@maureencrawford2275]

Excellent cottage! Love the curve of the door and of the swoopy roof line❤

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

👍👍

[@davecass9486]

wonderfull i am inspired, but 40 years experience as a builder makes me want to say, why not stagger the roofing and ridge planks, same amount of timber, (lolly sticks) stronger, better looking, and more weatherproof ! also i think if/when i collect enough pebbles and lolly sticks, i would use either neat cement or 2:1 . need to find a nice base fot it first. anyhoo great post from you, love it.

[@mikemike775]

so when you start making these on YOUR youtube channel YOU can make what YOU want, dont go into another persons shop and start telling how YOU would of made it. YOU should of kept the reply simple nice work thanks for putting your time into putting this on youtube plain and simple.

[@schwarzesonne6529]

​@@mikemike775I actually came to the video specifically for Dave's comment.

[@hetrodoxly1203]

Great work, the only criticism is the gaps between the roof tiles make it look like basket work, on a real building rain would just pour in.

[@jude1515]

Perfect. Having created many projects myself, I appreciate the work it took to create this cottage.

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

[@7spiritualcompass706]

You're an inspiration! Now I want to purchase the dollar pebbles and create a quarter, or half scale castle. This is Awesomeness!

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

👍👍

[@gred_and_forge]

Did you just use glue, or was it a mixture of different things like mod podge? if so, what did you use?

[@texasbella576]

All I can say is "WOW!!" -- so beautiful!! great craftsmanship and creativity!! Greetings from Texas

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

[@penguinYT1]

Absolutely beautiful! Sure wish I knew what you used for mortar.

[@bearifiablepau2095]

Same here!

[@malawmapunte3633]

Yeah, me too

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

[@Snarkyhippie]

Same!

[@schwarzesonne6529]

PVA glue and water until it's about a little thinner then pudding but not so watery as milk

[@jacqulynhilyard1561]

So much love is evident in your creation; it is truly beautiful.

[@NiaJustNia]

If you ever try this project again, try covering the roof in dried or artificial moss rather than stained wood. It'll give it that "secret witches cottage in the woods" vibe

[@paulstanding8516]

I'm sure if that was the look he was aiming for he would have, judging by his talent he doesn't need telling what to do lol.

[@NiaJustNia]

@@paulstanding8516 He does the same rooves on each project. Feedback and inspiration from people is generally one of the main reasons people upload their craft projects. Nobody has said "You need to do this this way.", so nobody is telling him what to do. A suggestion is nothing but a suggestion

[@OptimusGPrime]

@@paulstanding8516 Oof. They were just making a suggestion...

[@indigolightworker4389]

When i watch tis video i was thinking about making a fairy tale town❤

[@gdragonstan]

I love spooky houses. Moss would make it look really mystical. It would look great in the garden.❤

[@user-nh8yu2mw2i]

Absolutely mesmerising to watch this craft being made.....I love the cottage !!

[@SalveRegina8]

What did you use for the mortar?

[@tarathompson6768]

forget getting an answer,,, people like this only respond to compliments.

[@GeorgeLoch]

Mosaic Stone cement

[@annetreacy2437]

​@@GeorgeLochthank you! I am not especially crafty but I am so doing this.

[@myragroenewegen5426]

Lovely. I'd build it around a large cut-out hole in the floor, so I could add a light inside it. If you experiment with window shape, size and style, you might even give yourself room to put acat in the window. Flower boxes in the window? This is such a convincing base, so it's fun to think about the extras that might work with it. Maybe with some effort I could even find little geometric stain glass window-hangings to build in, allowing for some stain glass windows. alongside the normal ones.

[@Tish-zt1yg]

You could easily make the windows with alcohol inks on clear plastic bottle pieces or even with cling wrap,

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

👍👍

[@Luttibelle]

I just LOVE the creativity in people! ❤️

[@sabrekai8706]

Decades ago I build a wall using shale collected from the local creek bed. I still have that diorama, with a Luchs abandoned beside the gate to a French farm, for lack of gasoline. Natural materials are easy to collect. Last summer I collected two buckets of road fill, bought a set of sieves from Amazon and now have all the rocks, stones, talus and dirt I'll ever need. Collect large plastic jars and off you go.

[@lauhnunes2693]

Simplesmente lindíssimo! Estou encantada com tamanha arte e criatividade! Uma verdadeira obra prima! PARABÉNS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!

That is a cute and well built little dwelling. I thought it looked really cool and then you sprayed it...really made it pop. Well done so cool. 🙂💯

What a lovely cottage. Like others pointed out the clear coat made it pop. Thank you. NOW make a round age - Iron Age Great Britain I think it is.

[@arleteerjautz75]

Que trabalho primoroso ..❤

[@ratsumatra3003]

Beautiful 😍 and stonework looks much easier when you can pick them up with two fingers.

[@HisWordisLife4U]

Beautiful little stone house. I made one with cedar shingles and white trim with a thatched roof, and real clay hearth, fireplace and chimney--which took the most time. I love the way all the colors came alive at the end when you applied the sealer. Can you put this outside in the garden? What are the products used for the grout and sealer?

[@rallymum5246]

Quite possibly just tile grout Sealer possibly a marine grade lacquer if you want to put it outside

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

👍👍

[@HisWordisLife4U]

Thank you.@@rallymum5246

[@omecronrodneydheel349]

Great work. Looks like I could move right in.

[@petemitchel1454]

Awesome build ! You should do an acid wash and dry brush everything and it would add that rustic look! Maybe throw some moss or snow on there ! Really cool build!

[@terehuiakerekere7406]

Well I absolutely love it gorgeous. You could almost imagine little people living there

[@beardedloon77]

This would look really cool lit up maybe even a Christmas version with a bit of snow etc

That is adorable. I love it, well done 👏

I absolutely LOVE this, thank you for sharing!!

[@anitashaw9090]

I love it. It's so sweet. Thank you for showing us how to do it.

[@prunabluepepper]

04:52, tip for improving your windows: You need to add a bulkhead, because you want the head-bar to bear the load of whatever comes on top. Instead with your window the forces are punctually distributed on the narrower side linings or jamb and the whole window is basically kept up by the mullion or sash bars. The head should be 'the head' of a window to spread the top-load evenly. Your windows only cover side load. And no, I'm not a carpenter either. Your door hinges should also be inside the house, not outside, but i understand you did that for 'the looks'. Apart from that, nice built!

[@prunabluepepper]

@@artandarchitecture6399 One should think that, but the stone lintel itself distributes the weight to the lower stones, that in turn need to distribute the force somewhere. The force is not distributed straight down, as the window opening offers an area of stress release.

What do you do with these items after you build them? You'd need a separate room with floor to ceiling shelves. They look like interesting ways to pass your free time if you enjoy assembling items like this but of what use are they after completion? Sell them perhaps?
