I made six corners! It took me almost all weekend but I did it! They're amazing! Only 12 1-sided walls and 9 fields to go! Thank you, Wyloch! Your style is awesome!

[@foxtrot5elb]

Speed and efficiency be damned, I'm just happy you finally finished your beer!

[@13thBear]

That makes a nice effect for a wooden floor. Gives it some "class" you don't normally see. Your voice is very clear and patient as you speak in these vids. I appreciate that, myself, as I'm a little hard of hearing so I ofttimes miss or misunderstand what some folks say, but not so with you! Thank you for that!

[@coffey3c]

I agree with other commentators here. The parquet approach to the floor is very ingenious. I love the technique.

[@TheDMGinfo]

Excellent stuff. Great idea with the checkered board approach.

[@Runehammer1]

Those are awesome!

[@AlexKolakowski]

Even the cg intro has the signature random brown tile on the wall lol

[@jenniferw8963]

So clever! Love the foam board cob trick.. so fast and easy! and Lightweight!

[@ryanbeasecker9235]

Pretty rad modular shop/tavern build! I'll definitely be doing that one!

[@WylochsArmory]

Ryan Beasecker Thanks Ryan!

[@ronniefogg313]

These tiles are absolutely gorgeous for tavern/indoors settings. I love your work, man! Keep it up!

[@olumsezbey]

My god! You finally finished a beer! 😂

[@StrongholdCrafterKev]

I like the cobblestone walls for the tavern tiles, nice change from the dungeon walls.

[@TobiasPatrick]

Good stuff. Looking forward to trying this technique out. I have been looking for some ideas for wood flooring and this looks ideal. Thank you.

[@duckmissile]

Damn, that's legit. Well done sir!

[@McCurryChickenWing]

these tiles look great. i'm considering to make some for myself though i dont even play d&d but tabletop wargaming ^^

[@TheTroutgames]

Awesome tiles man!! Another tile for me to make.

[@cdstewart87]

was just thinking about how you could use the crafting sticks to make crates pretty easily. maybe do a store room video? that would be great! sure you could make some sacks and barrels 2! Glad to see someone enjoy beer with there game time! cheers from the west coast!

[@dustingonzales2566]

I just made a set of these. However instead of using crafting sticks i just used foamcore to "sculpt" the floor boards. Im not a huge fan of using craft sticks, so i havn't tried it with those. But i would imagine that my way is faster. I had been scouring the internets looking for a way to do my taverns. I like this one the best! Thanks a bunch!

[@WylochsArmory]

Literally any way is faster than using wood sticks. :-). Good call.

[@MiniTerrainDomain]

Nice work, as always.

[@FreeFire187]

This is freaking genius, dude...

[@dustingonzales2566]

Ive watched almost all of your videos. This one is my favorite. I will be making a set of my own ASAP. hehe. Shout out to Drunkens and Dragons pointing me in your direction.

[@WylochsArmory]

Truth be told...it is also my favorite among the ones I have made. :-)

[@X.davidWilliams]

Huzzah! Excellent crafting right here.

[@AlbertoRodriguez-zb3iu]

Awesome. ..this gives me so many ideas...thanks!

[@beasticorn]

Takes quite a bit of prep work but once you have about 100 popsicle sticks made up and about another 50 cardboard squares cut it goes... still kinda slow but damn do they look good. Professional quality stuff here, well worth the time it takes to make. Not to mention materials required are very cheap.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks very much. Yes, this stuff can be a royal pain but I find it's worth it.

[@stephenlayton4885]

This takes forever!

[@Halloweenville]

Very nice!

[@alexjohnston2734]

Finally getting around to making a set of these. Holy cow! making the rock detail in the foam is no easy task I can feel EVERY bone and joint in my hands!!! Wyloch I have a question for you what is the brand / type of blade you use to cut your foundations? It looks like it cuts like a hot light saber through a droid.

[@WylochsArmory]

It's just a knife I got from Lowe's home improvement store. And I change the blade somewhat often. It is very, very important to have a fresh sharp blade when cutting foam. It is also very important to cut at a very shallow angle...so, tilt the knife way back as you draw it across. And go slow. That is how you get clean cuts.

[@allluckyseven]

Really neat.

[@pantheman6139]

Best intro ever!

[@anthonyhargis6855]

It looks good, however, "Basket Weave" was never a floor design, so I think I'll do the floor differently. Of course, I appreciate that your mapping a grid with that design. Your cobblestone looks pretty good. But the way its "stacked" and the colors make me think "field stone." Cobblestone is a flooring material and field stone is a wall material. Sorry, that's the fifth generation bricklayer in me. LOL

[@alexjohnston2734]

aren't you worried about the paper back on the bricks coming off. Would the hot glue work on the foam?

[@jenniferw8963]

I noticed the popsicle wood planks you did weren't based in black in this video, but you instructed to do so in the last. Or maybe they were? Looks like wood stain over the popsicle stick. Bought the paints tonight.. working on this. Trying to anyways lol

[@silviofoj]

Another amazing tip!

[@WylochsArmory]

+Silvio da Fonseca Oliveira Junior Thanks

[@codyguindon2090]

great stuff

[@LimboLance]

instead of painting - any reason why staining wouldn't work?

[@WylochsArmory]

LimboLance Go for it!

[@scotteverroad4545]

Wyloch sir! You probably already answered this, but chipboard! How does it handle pva and water and sand? Looking to make some various sized forest-bases, (4-10" Long, various shapes). How bout it? Will it warp like Crazy, or is it safe to go ahead and get it wet? Had bad results with cardboard, looking to a Pro-Tip.

[@WylochsArmory]

That long, yes it will warp. You can counteract it by painting a thick layer of white glue on the bottom and leaving it upside down to dry for 24 hours.

[@scotteverroad4545]

@@WylochsArmory Have another beer on me my friend! TY for saving me a headache!

[@sierram3772]

Could this work with your Cardboard lock system? If so, how? Same question for any other type of tile that glues a thin wall to the outside of the foundation.

[@sim2570]

Really nice! :)

[@jimmycunningham8484]

How did you make your round tables or what did you use if just bought?

[@WylochsArmory]

Just two wood bits from Michael's, hot glued together and painted.

[@Gio-cz9gz]

I cant find the video for the wood technique! Is that in your main series? Thanks for the great work

[@WylochsArmory]

episode 007

[@BuggSmasher]

Brilliant work, just genius! Has anyone here finished a build and wants to show it off with a link? Would really like to see.

[@WylochsArmory]

Join us on facebook (Tabletop Crafters Guild) and you can find tons of stuff.

[@scottthebrewer5737]

I want to do something like this but make a outer building that pulls off

[@WylochsArmory]

[@jakec2690]

Do you think it'll be smart to add stuff like velcrow or something to attach the walls to the tile so that it's not limited to the parts that you make?

[@WylochsArmory]

Not advised. Won't be very strong, and introduces extra thickness that you have to account for. Easier to simply make what you need and be done with it.

[@jakec2690]

ok, thank you!

[@beasticorn]

You could try adding velcrow to the bottom and placing them on a large felt mat. Just an idea.

[@jenniferw8963]

okay the ones on the right look based in black .. I guess the ones on the left were throwing me off because of the bare popsicle end and no signs of black

[@WylochsArmory]

+Jennifer Gwinn That's where I hold them when painting them. No need to go back and do the ends since they get chopped off.

[@randyd9090]

what about clip on windows?

[@WylochsArmory]

[@WolfServant]

Is there a way to do this but have interior wood walls?

[@WolfServant]

I mean I know i can just use them as is, but I wouldn't mind taking the extra step and making the two a little different in that sense. Just for fun visual appeal.

[@WylochsArmory]

Not sure I understand the question....they already do have interior wood walls...

[@WolfServant]

haha yeah that was a bit vague in my wording. What I mean it the one side has wood and the other side is cobble stone. How would you recommend I go about doing wood for both sides instead of cobble stone on the outside?

[@WolfServant]

Also your videos are amazing!

[@WylochsArmory]

The wall must be 1/4" thick. If you use a jumbo popsicle on both sides, those are each 1/16" thick. So you need something in the middle of them that is 1/8". Classic single corrugated cardboard fits the bill perfectly. So, popsicle sticks glued to each side of a strip of single corrugated cardboard

[@FreeFire187]

84 craft sticks later... I have no fingers...

[@WylochsArmory]

Lol. Yes, disclaimer: my methods are NOT fast or efficient. Has never been a priority for me.

[@FreeFire187]

+Wyloch's Crafting Vids You're right. But they are amazing looking. I love the corners I've done. Working on 12 1 sided walls and 9 fields now.
