This is the only instructional video I've found for barrels and they look great!! Thanks DM Scotty!! You rock!

[@tiger_vii]

If I only saw the end product I wouldn't have even guessed it was Cardboard!?!? This tutorial is a real game changer!!!! Thanks so much

[@randybourque3327]

Thank you for this tutorial it is by far the best barrel tutorial on the YOU TUBE anywhere's. You get the AWARD for this tutorial. It is easy and simple and I was able to make 10 barrels in one sitting. Again Thank you and keep up the great tutorials.

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you found it useful...happy crafting.

[@sirhogoo7039]

You got to be kidding me. Absolute genius. Gotta give credit when credit is due.

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks man, glad you like.

[@lindanoreika893]

Very clever. You r quite talented. I love to watch people create.

[@Elsaur-kd2kg]

this channel helps me and my dad build stuff for our campaign, thank you so much for making these videos.

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome, hope you and Dad are having a great time. I love crafting with my daughter.

[@cedspectre1]

I made these today for a moonshine still and they were so easy and turned out fantastic. I love your channel and the videos are so helpful, keep up the great work!

[@theDMsCraft]

cedspectre1 Glad you found it helpful...have fun.

[@NinePillar]

Cool idea! Who doesn't need more barrels? Barrels and crates are excellent fillers. Thanks!

[@theDMsCraft]

Truth, so very welcome.

[@gilmoresgloriouswood5255]

Maaaan those look phenomenal! At no cost at all, I don't have any excuse not to try my hand at these. 😱

[@katmonkey03]

I love how simple these are! perfect to make a ton of for background clutter. I could even make them bombs by adding a piece of string as a fuse and red dry brushing in the shape of a skull

[@theDMsCraft]

Great idea!

[@aranolreign]

That's awesome!! I love that you take things others would throw away and make them into beautiful crafts !!

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you enjoy the ideas.

[@johnnywhite1681]

Wonderful! You sir, are a master craftsman. How you can just sit and figure this stuff out is really a cool talent! The filming/editing/lighting, and sound are perfectThank you for sharing!!!

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome, glad you found it useful.

[@Loem28]

I've been following your work now off and on for a while. Fantastic work. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@mainHERO88]

This is awesome! I don't know why it's so hard to find a simple barrel tutorial on KZbin. Probably because the best one has already been made!

[@theDMsCraft]

awwww...thanks, glad you like it.

[@stabbysavvy1972]

No way this is too cool!

[@Jonatron101]

huh, that's great. very effective. love the difference some smart paint can do

[@theDMsCraft]

+Jon Watson Sure can.

[@just_ethanj02]

I think I've just found a new hobby, going to my local crafts store tonight!

[@jjab99]

They all look great and are not too difficult to build, well done.

[@tsmithdotks]

I have to say.... you have a great talent for turning nothing into something awesome. I've never played DnD before but the great pieces of terrain really want me to make some tiles and play! If nothing else I could make a badass tile set for my Dungeon Command war bands.

[@theDMsCraft]

Sure could.

[@ericl8261]

Very impressive and creative!

[@theDMsCraft]

glad you liked the craft.

[@crisleymaihana5354]

at first I was not putting a lot of faith that would be cool, but his work is amazing . Sorry an error in writing, had to use the translator

[@theDMsCraft]

+Crisley Maihana I get that a lot....looks like junk then "bam" ends up being something.

[@PsychoSubSandwich]

Great video as always sir. I also found an easy way to make miniature barrels (I work at a hardware store so I have a lot of places to look for inspiration). Those small wooden plugs you use to cap off holes in wood projects are tapered on the ends and are almost the perfect size on a miniature scale. If you glue them end to end you get a good barrel shape and works great if you need to make a bunch.

[@jamiespeechley3621]

I love trying out most of your props, this opening looks so professional too

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks much...have fun.

[@YourFriendlyNeighborhoodNinja]

This is a really useful video. Thank You for stopping me from buying tiny barrels. Now I can quickly and easily make a bunch of these. 😃 Thank You again for these vids. I'm so taking your advice. Also I'm going to be binge watching this channel. 😉

[@ReadySetTech]

My players absolutely love little details like that! Thanks!

[@Glimmer27]

I know it's a simple item, but I've been dying to figure this out. You made it look So easy! I'm making a permanent tavern for my games ( it's a franchise that ends up in every town :) and every accessory you've shown so far has gone into it. Thanks for giving me more!

[@theDMsCraft]

awesome.

[@johnr7279]

Super! I am working on an inn presently and these will really help enhance the visualization. Thanks for sharing!

[@theDMsCraft]

So very welcome.

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks for the kind words all.

[@joehayward4545]

I took you guys from the tabletop crafting guild & entered 1 of my sculptures for the August contest.

[@WASD20]

Wow. Not sure I'll ever make these, but they look amazing!

[@ovecka17]

[@ascottbriscoe]

Look at how clean cut you were!

[@theDMsCraft]

Yeah, lol

[@AleishaCurtis-lj9cg]

[@theDMsCraft]

[@Maerra7]

That is a hex nut, sir.

[@theDMsCraft]

[@knghtbrd]

That's okay, the guy using it is a craft nut. 😃

[@ChimeraWargaming]

I really liked this fantastic work 😊

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks so much

[@HowtoRPG]

That's just awesome, thanks. I now have an idea for a project using your barrel design.

[@theDMsCraft]

Perfect!

[@dmkenosis8155]

Talent. Keep it up

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks much will do.

[@joseluis-78]

Eres un artista, I love your videos, saludos desde España.

[@LukeE94]

For stealth sections you could use a magnet under the table and secretly 'sneak' enemies round the dungeon to surprise the players!

[@theDMsCraft]

Very true

[@TheAGCteam]

Dude you are amazing. I've been trying to find a good method for like two weeks now.

[@AbiNomac]

So good!

[@CS-zx3sv]

Awesome as always!

[@bepnewt]

Great crafting.

[@DerMartexus]

Yes, your barrels look great! :)

[@m.psyfox8820]

oh Thanks !! I was waiting for this

[@beardcraft7020]

Thouse barrels might be simple to do, but it sure was the best looking barrels i could fine, to craft.👍

[@TabletopThoughts]

Very nice! I am going to have to make some of these!

[@inspirationforge4578]

thanks - need to make some barrels for a wagon

[@Sean_S1000]

really good idea, those barrels look great. I've been wondering for a while about buy them but now I will have to make them :) thanks Scotty

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome..have fun

[@stefersondigiorgio]

Amazing.

[@theDMsCraft]

+Steferson Di Giorgio Thank you =)

[@thermonuclearwarhead]

Those do look great! Personally I prefer to buy barrels and crates and other assorted tiny stuff. Not too expensive, indestructible, and making tiny stuff isn't my forte (but breaking it is :P).

[@Joeofthemasks]

Love your work!

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you enjoy the vids

[@andreamonk3464]

Fantastic sir

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you like it.

[@lordunkhter3836]

great tutorial, nice result :)

[@Archeopterix2680]

Very cool! I just started watching your videos tonight and I've subscribed. I'm not a gamer in truth-I'm more of a tinkerer. But I'm always on the lookout for tips about making little things like this. Your work is great and very creative. Thanks for sharing.

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome glad you enjoy the vids.

[@Archeopterix2680]

No problem! Keep up the good work!

[@dkbibi]

That's awesome! Say, would it helped if before painting you'd white glued them on the whole surface to strenghten it up?

[@RangerGeek71]

awesome

[@ann-sofiered8565]

Awesome!!! Love your vids!

[@kiltedcripple]

Fun project dude!

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you like it.

[@michaels728]

What you shouldve done was before you closed the barrel completely. Take your 2 disks and glue them on the inside along the folded crease edge, rather than on the top. So that way the disks look like the recess lid and edge top of the barrels. And its a nut not a bolt you glued inside. Also keep in mind the larger wide barrel you want to make the more slats youll need to use to make a big fat wide barrel. You can use wood dowels and cut to length then sand them down on a belt sander or something for the flared top and bottom. Then use a wood hot iron carving tool with a fine tip, burn the grooves along the sides of the dowel to create your barrel slats. And if you really want to be more creative use a Dremel with a round grinding stone, grind down just a little bit on the ends in the center that is small enough for the recess lid at the top and bottom. Then use the wood carving iron again to make the slats in the lids. Once your done use any wood stain for your base color to bring out the real natural look of the wood before you paint any highlights to the barrels. Then using the same technique of using the card stock paper for your iron bands place them on as well. And your done.

[@Saskiel]

damn, they look great.. I am looking into trying to make these little props, but I am really afraid that I will fail miserably :D You have some really gorgeous things on your channel! Thanks for sharing it with us ^^

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome, Don't be afraid to try...comes easier with a bit of practice.

[@MrBoomanu]

I just did my first barrell and it doesn';t look anywhere near as good as his but they are still barrells (typing this as they dry). Remember, you're going to be proud of your first one no matter what, and whether they're perfect or not doesn't matter, as long as they look like barrells and enhance your game

[@theDMsCraft]

Very true

[@acdjr909]

thank you for the video! awesome tutorial

[@theDMsCraft]

+acdjr909 Glad you enjoyed it...check out my hundreds of other vids.

[@shawnyfin]

Great job, as always, man! Roderick...yet again awakens confused under the heavy arm of a she-ogre..

[@theDMsCraft]

I bet it was the smell...lol

[@rainwater739]

Love the new intro!

[@valas8457]

Nice video. The barrels look great. One thing though... it's a nut, not a bolt. :)

[@theDMsCraft]

You won the prize =)

[@valas8457]

Yay!?

[@GuayreBajistavikingo]

SENCILLO Y GRANDIOSO!

[@skinrecordstudio]

awesome!!!!!

[@jouriklivesagain]

Crafting them now! :)

[@snailsaredumb9412]

a bunch of assassins have come to kill the paty. "Hey look at the barrel"

[@theDMsCraft]

+nab ban LOL

[@eddieallen8340]

Their repast is interrupted by some assassins that have come to hate them. XD

[@theDMsCraft]

Yepper =)

[@peterasbjrnhansen2834]

You can use a wodden dovel to roll them on.

[@theDMsCraft]

True

[@SilentSooYun]

A better technique for installing the nut might be to use a bolt. Just thread the nut on a couple turns (very loose, but not TOO loose), hot glue the nut, then use the bolt to shove it into the barrel. When the glue sets in a couple seconds, unscrew the bolt and move on to the next barrel.

[@theDMsCraft]

Good idea

[@meriahbradley6994]

This is excellent. I don't suppose you could show us some science fiction set pieces? I GM a Star Wars RPG and there's precious little tools and tips around for crafting for it. Your work is amazing. I've been a crafter since I was very small and you have come up with things that I haven't thought of yet (a semi rare and very delightful occurrence!). I have dreams and schemes of building both the worm and the trees from your other videos. Thanks so much for sharing your skills!

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome.

[@EarnieMercerDungeonstiles]

Good Stuff DmScotty..

[@cricketerfrench7501]

You have got to love a guy like this who can create wonderful things, but twice call a nut a bolt.

[@lastdollarfilms]

The other day I got a pizza from little caesars and the corrugation on the box is really small. I am going to try to make some barrels out of it and see how they turn out. I'll post my results on the facebook page.

[@mills5077]

I think u can use two part epoxy glue to do very small rivet details

[@theDMsCraft]

true.

[@Conny-tk8md]

I don't know if you did one on sacks/bags already, but if you haven't: Wouldn't those little silicate pouches they put in pill bottles work?

[@theDMsCraft]

Cool idea.

[@mach0dancer]

Can you provide more information about the doors you featured at the end of the video? Kinda blew my mind when I saw that it was a functional door. Please and thank you.

[@theDMsCraft]

Check out my Tilescapes playlist.

[@credodm1058]

These barrels look great. I think I'm going with this technique for my first set of barrels that I'll be making soon. Question though, how did you make that bar in the tavern scene at the end? Rectangle woodsies on top of cardboard or blocks?

[@theDMsCraft]

Square cubes I got from the craft store and then just wooden rectangle shapes glued on....you guessed right.

[@millsvalleycrafts]

The post office envelope works just as well?

[@ImaginationHobbies]

they look great. how did you figure this out!! haha. my lazy ass just bought some barrels

[@theDMsCraft]

I am a genius.

[@MichaelTE]

This are really nice, but the only problem is that they end up being very straight up and down. Real barrels are meant to be more curved so they look like they're bulging out in the middle. Not sure how you would do that if they're made this way.

[@Kronin87]

+Michael E you can cut top and bottom of the frame in V shape, bend them more and glue thoghether. To be more realistic you can also put the lids inside the frame, rather than simply put them on top and bottom.

[@dkbibi]

Hey! Would this technique could be used to do crates? I need some of 'em! :)

[@theDMsCraft]

Addramyr Palinor Sure could, remember crates are just cubes.

[@elronman]

I'd just glue the nut to the end caps before putting them on.

[@gigglestomp5403]

Is this on the cardboard lines or between them that we are marking and cutting one layer deep on?

[@theDMsCraft]

between the corrugations...one side of the cardboard it is usually easier to see the corrugation lines.
