[@leannabond5522]

Lol!!

The tree making part killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

what a coincidence--it almost killed me too!

[@primetimeforcrime]

Dude honestly one of my favorite bits ever

[@danmengue]

I CRIED!! 🤣🤣

[@TheBethaiable]

Yep. someone had fun with the red paint XD

[@adamjohnson4821]

That is one of the funniest things i have seen in a loooong time. Thank you.

[@humdrumennui5124]

The swirling is called scumbling and it is a blending technique used to hide lines in brush strokes. This is particular useful for painting with a square brush.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I KNEW IT. I'M AN ARTIST!

[@jessicafutrell3204]

i also find swirling with a moppy brush makes it easier to get into all the little crevices.

[@rosalie4509]

@@NorthoftheBorder ....why have you ever doubted that?

[@Sairin13]

"That artist is a little tipsy and he's scumbling all over the place."

[@hannahyamauchi839]

The increasingly bloody hand though😂 Thank you for explaining what the isopropyl alcohol does!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

It's also useful for cleaning up and tree-related messes

[@richardcoleman1018]

Oh my god, I’m dying. The progressive blood loss cracked me up.

[@pandoratheclay]

No, he is

[@Lucian_Andries]

It cracked him up, too...

[@JackJackCreator]

I've seen all your works, but I'm leaving a comment for the first time. Your work always looks lovely.! It's soft and sentimental. And I love the irregular hills of Hobbit House.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mistac5050]

I did the EXACT same thing with my temple of Anubis diorama a few weeks ago... coated the entire thing in black mod podge only to then paint every square inch of that beast light tan. Half way through I was like hmmm, I probably could have just used tan mod podge... Anyways, another great video as usual!

[@izzyo7292]

yes i do think it is beautiful.

everytime you post i'm like "oh this is going to be cool, he's so good at doing small details" and then i sit here amazed bc its always even more minute than i expected... and you still get such intricate details! the door knob is THE HEAD OF A PIN its so tiny i can't even

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I like pins because whenever I cut them into smaller pieces, I inevitably lose a piece, only to find it with my bare feet later

I just LOVE every project of yours, but your humor really keeps me wanting more. That part with the tree made me laugh so damn hard. Keep doing what you do!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thanks for watching!

[@partridgestorm]

I am still amazed how in each of your videos you start the build, and my reaction is "How the heck is this going to work?" then by the time you're done I'm blown away with how great they look and how intricate the details can be. Thank you for the mini lesson on alcohol and glue in this video. It never occurred to me before why you do it, but explaining it now it makes complete sense. Great job!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Hey, I start a lot of these things thinking almost the exact same thing, "how the hell is this gonna work..." And you're welcome! It's one of those things that's always shown/done but rarely explained!

[@partridgestorm]

@@NorthoftheBorder On another note, when I first got the gag with your bloody fingers from the wire tree reminded me of my all time favorite meme video "Blood?!? Not funny!" Also "It must be difficult to make a hobbit hill out of Styrofoam." "Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience"

[@JonkariP]

The way you made the tree was very interesting and I appreciate the breakdown of why the isopropyl alcohol works with the glue.

you mentioning “happy accidents” now makes me want to see you make a diorama of a bob ross painting. great work as always adam!

Bring a Bob Ross painting into 3D? Very interesting. The humor in this is hilarious. Think I might need to subscribe so I don't lose track of the channel

[@daniellesolari6995]

I truly don't know how you manage to top each of your builds. I keep thinking "this is the best one yet", and then you release a new video and outdo yourself. Amazing work Adam

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thanks! I'm glad you like them! I like to think that I'm getting a bit better with each video, so hopefully it keeps one getting better

[@TheHolm]

@@NorthoftheBorder it is not only the building part which gets progressively better, your skills at making entertaining videos, are increasing rapidly as well.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

@@TheHolm I suppose it's a skill like any other--and one I'm brand new to, so the improvements should be noticeable on a per video basis, I hope!

[@nefarius6879]

Finally someone shows how to build a wire tree, safely and cleanly, without hurting yourself - much appreciated 👍

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I'm all about safety here.

[@helenak5005]

I was so excited to see another video from you! Absolutely love your work, including your brilliant editing. Had me in tears laughing at the tree building.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I had me in tears too, but for a different reason, I think.

[@slwrabbits]

I really love the little sound effect every time you squish a piece of foam into place. Ooh, the little dropper squeezing noise is even better!

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

I love _everything_ about this. The sound design, the puns, the fine irony, the educational value, the narration, the blood, sweat and tears,... *everything.* Mostly the blood, really. ...oh, and the build is cool, too.

[@ObjektBBX]

I don't know why but this video is one of my comforts. Whenever I'm having a bad day or feeling down, I find myself coming back to this video.

[@ermembor]

Really appreciating the demo about the alcohol. I've seen that on a few channels and I had definitely been wondering what the deal was. Thanks!

[@anthonyjones9520]

That is what makes a true mason. Cobble stone is to be pieced together individually. Not conveniently, but artistically. Love your work Bro. No H8 at all.

[@linzertube]

This was some fine work! That static-y grass is ✨magical✨stuff, and so is your beautiful tree, despite the 🩸BLooDY🩸MesS🩸that were your hands. Lol. You have patience galore, Adam!!!

[@vampirewolf8299]

I believed the first 2-3 'blood spots' but after that I realised the joke. This is why i like your videos so much, your not only skilled but you also make the videos funny to watch.

[@amyoosh]

had to pause the video on the part where he was making the trees to comment about how i love all of the over exaggerated sound effects that are edited into this video. literally made it even more enjoyable and amusing to watch. now, On To The Rest Of The Video!

[@AlbertFilice]

That tree looks so good, totally worth the blood loss. Especially how the roots look gnarly n all that. Fun stuff dude.

[@johnconnelly3157]

The final model was very impressive. Skill set and explanations are clear and amusing. The Dario Argento edit of the tree making section was an added bonus.

I had to look up Dario Argento, but now I feel both educated and flattered.

Took me a few minutes to adjust to the scale you built this at. For a while I thought your fingers were just MASSIVE.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I don't let silly things like "relationships with loved ones" or "eating and sleeping" get in the way. For what it's worth, I remember reading recently (accidental aliterations for everyone!) that with the upsurge in tiny homes people are starting to look at "earth sheltered" homes since they're so heat and space effecient.

Used to be a professional model maker for wargame terrain stores back home. When you do the vacuuming and brushing to recover the excess static grass, you can put a piece of pantyhose over the tube to recover it and reuse at a later date.
