Chanel UPDATE - and no I'm not becoming a pirate!

[@ichtheanforge6468]

Congrats in making it to 1K subs! That is quite a milestone. For anyone who it curious, Iodo makes some outstanding items. I have a couple of pieces. A cluttered shop is no fun to work in. It steals your drive to put out products and it can even become unsafe. My smithy/work areas are undergoing a major cleaning and overhaul right now. At least you have notes to guide your videos. It does help reign one in when one starts rambling - as I tend to do. Seeing your notes on-screen doesn't bother me at all. BTW, I love the North Carolina tag hanging on your cabinet.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

Thank you so much :) and for anyone who it curious, Eric makes some awesome stuff, and awesome content so do check out his channel! I absolutely agree, while I keep all my clutter against the back two walls and try to keep my bench clear so I don't have to much of a fire hazard, it has still gotten way worse than I should have let it over the last few years and I have had a few minor injury's just from standing on things/tripping over glad you don't mind the notes, thanks for letting me know :) and you noticed the license plate! those have come from visits to car shows

@@IodoDwarvenRanger I sent you a message on the MERF. Check it out and see what you think.

[@HistoryOnTheLoose]

I noticed the plate right away. Cool. I have come to really enjoy your style of producing videos. Your sly humor, together with the perceived (by design or not, it's endearing and brilliant) haphazardly incidental evolution, make it all personal and relatable. It's the honest person who includes their bloopers and mistakes. A cluttered workplace is the sign of a healthy mind. Or something like that.

[@CorvidEclectica]

Please leave the notes onscreen. It's a useful tool for you and maintains fluidity. As for tidying up.....I've made nine times as many projects since cleaning up my workspace. No shame in taking time off for a better environment.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

That's what I'm going for, more space to make thongs sounds like a grand idea, it's such a lot of work though, thx for the encouragement :)

[@MrWolf-xc9pr]

I think, for whatever what I think is worth, a giveaway is a great idea. I really enjoy your channel; it's helped me out a lot with my kit. I'm just starting and you give a lot of solid advice. Thanks very much :)

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

Thanks so much, glad you like my content :)

[@larsgrabowski9269]

Do not worry about things like professionalism - content first and what you do is great - I am always excited when I see that you have something new coming up ;)

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

I appreciate that!

[@2OldGeeksTalking]

It's good to get rid of the old, to make way for the new.... and I support your transition into a pirate! 😉

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

hmmm... dwarves like gold, and so do pirates, so I guess it kinda makes sense LOL

[@MsDezmont]

Yeah! Congrats with 1k subs. You making a good stuff. That's quite inspiring

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

Thanks a ton!

[@Tberger9]

Well done, sir! Keep doing what you are doing. I'll keep tuning in.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

Thank you :)

[@lukedaniel7669]

I didn't notice you were using the screen until you pointed it out.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

good to know :)

[@Thatwillbeall117]

You are awesome! I love your videos, so down to earth and fun, going to make your rucksack thingy from your most recent video in time for my next adventure!

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@zhukel_marimasko]

Holy cow, Ranger! New outfit is freakin on point. You get a mailbox, I'll make two rucksacks with this new experiment I'm making.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

LOL Thanks :) the gambison is literally just because I found it while clearing out my room Thx for the offer but I already have a very nice rucksack that was made for me as a gift by a friend and I am avoiding doubling up items

[@Dracoofthevas]

Very Cool Pirate Hat. Also, it's good that you get rid of stuff, you no longer need. All in all, you seem to be on the right path. Keep up the good work.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

Thank you :)

That sounds like something a PIRATE would say.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

it does doesn't it, ow well...

[@Barackrifle]

Newer sub but I enjoy the computer on screen as your notes. I enjoy seeing the key board and getting a hit of nostalgia. Excited to make a hooded cowl from your other video

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

awesome :) thanks for the feedback

[@paulkopacz5051]

Hey, I don't blame you. I have a two story shed that I can barely walk in and it's high time for me to clear some junk out. Honestly I have to move five things just to get to the one thing I need.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

I feel the pain, I have had to move things to do everything I have needed to do for over a year

[@TexasJack1886]

If the notes on screen help then by all means, it'd be really silly of someone to be bothered by something so harmless. This video reminds me i really need to clean up/ de-clutter the various workspaces i have around the homestead. Ive been puttng it off far too long lol

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

that's good to know :) and yes, everyone seems to be saying that they need to de-clutter and tidy up in response to this video, so it seems I have inspired an early spring clean LOL

[@TexasJack1886]

@@IodoDwarvenRanger lol way to lead by example 😂

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

@@TexasJack1886 yep, although it's not so much just tidying, and more of a complete home overhaul, I spent today insulating the loft (after putting the wet insulation in the skip), and we have decorating happening at the same time, it's busy LOL

I really don't know why youtube showed me this but it's kinda cool, good luck with your projects!

[@MrMulan58]

I think setting up a mailbox is a good idea, your video content inspires me to create crafty items.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

Thanks :) I'm thinking I might open an e-mail address and let people send me a message with details of what they want to send me, and if I think it is useful/have space for it I will send the address? but as I said in the video I haven't quite decided just yet because I am worried I would feel mean or offend people by turning them down

[@MrMulan58]

As long as you are tactful with your response i don't believe people will be too upset if you turn them down.you don't sound like someone who is rude, just do what you are comfortable with doing.whatever you decide i will look forward to seeing more of your videos : 😉

@@MrMulan58 Hey, thanks so much 😀

[@firtee_adorabold]

Have you considered becoming a pirate tho? Don't have to worry about being professional when you're a pirate

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

That is very true :)

[@MatsJPB]

If it works it works, and it don't bother me one bit! But if in the future you do want to look into other solutions for having your notes/script available while filming, there's "telepromters" that work with your phone that you hook onto your camera. As I understand it, they display the text on a two way mirror between you and the camera. Pretty cool piece of tech, but I have no idea what they cost.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

good to know! I have used a proper telepromter in the past when I've done media projects at high school, they work and they are cool, it's basically just a black box with a hole in both ends and a polished pane of optical glass that sits at 45 degrees in front of the lens, so the camera can look straight through but the user can see a reflection of the screen that points directly upwards underneath it. It would be quite easy to make one but that would mean I would have to write a teliprompt script and I don't usually bother, I prefer a random collection of vague notes to keep me mostly on topic The first piece of equipment I really need is a better microphone :)

[@FritsvanDoorn]

Don't worry, I am not looking at that screen. It does not bother me. There is enough in the total screen to look at and wonder away. Thank you.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

good to know :)

[@jessica-fx3uh]

i think would be better if when your speaking the music is lower volume. and at the volume it was in this video when showing things but not speaking. im hard of hearing and struggle to understand when music is same level as voice. keep up the good work x

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

I am sorry, because it was a quick short update video I did deliberately put the music a little louder than I normally do, partly because I didn't have much time to key-frame all the volumes, and partly because me standing there just talking seemed so boring, I will keep this in mind for future editing, it also doesn't help that my microphone is terrible

it seems everyone is :) and I've got a mailbox, the big question is if I dare open it up to people sending me things after going to so much work to clear stuff out LOL
