Also, thank you for pointing to all of the details, I definitely would have missed it without the pointing, very important.

[@Dan_Does]

I took a pointing night course back in '94

I'm glad I'm not the only person who's absolutely terrified of their Dremel. But the Dremel pales in comparison to the panic inducing properties of using a Jigsaw. Christ almighty, I feel like I'm in danger of losing an arm any time I fire that angry sounding beast up. Excellent work as always Mr. Dan!

[@Dan_Does]

Thank you. I remember tech at school. Deathtrap

[@simonreynolds1518]

Great way to start the evening with a spot of Dan

[@_Hanover_]

Thank you for referencing the best sci fi show ever made.

[@Dan_Does]

My pleasure.

[@brianhenderson4916]

Absolutely lovely piece of terrain. Looks like a small round man in overalls with huge goggles and a big wiry moustache lives there with a friendly robot, snooty hologram and sarcastic talking cat.

[@daydreamingkumo]

Brother I don't know if any one understands how much work you put into these. Thank you for your time and for all you do . Much love

[@Dan_Does]

I really appreciate this, I work so hard and for so long. I'm happy that you've noticed.

[@daydreamingkumo]

@@Dan_Does brother the amount of work that goes into each video. Is something to me you would see on a professional level. But it would be done by a team of people. So doing this solo ...the dialogue, the sound effects, the well thought out lay out of video design. Your entire process is art. Thank you for the endless joy you've brought this world. We need it. You are doing blessed work. Thank you

[@Dan_Does]

@@daydreamingkumo thank you for watching!

[@amandadrentwett3172]

Junk bot with flowers and moss to patrol the raspberry base. ^_^ Very nicely done!

[@Dan_Does]

Thanks! 😊

[@xmobile.]

I enjoy the comedy bits as much as the build :D I want to build a life-sized one of these, in a moss covered forest, and birdwatch from the balconies.

[@Dan_Does]

So do I, now!

Gonna need to design rules for a solo tabletop Birdwatching Simulator.

Welcome back! I always steal my chipboard from the back of my old sketchbooks, I don't think I've ever actually BOUGHT chipboard despite all my crafting bits.

[@Dan_Does]

I actually bought a wad once, wasn't cheap

[@weatherwax1978]

Awesome! It looks like a cross between Red Dwarf and Starbug. Love it! ❤️

[@Dan_Does]

Yeah, green was a close second, colour-wise

[@bennydeckard]

The flowers make it and give it a proper Laputa feeling. Beautiful work.

[@Dan_Does]

What I was hoping for. Thank you!

[@Bluecho4]

The almost idyllic environs, with grasses and flowers, is so pleasant. It contrasts nicely with the horrible violence that will occur around it.

[@Dan_Does]

I want to make more in this style

[@Bluecho4]

@@Dan_Does I would definitely watch more videos in that "overgrown, idyllic industrial style". Like a base or factory built in a wilderness that is slowly reclaiming it.

[@jjmetrejhon1743]

GOSH was that Dan Doesn't from all those videos ago? Debbie Does Dallas walked so Dan Does Dan Doesn't could run! That highlight/lowlight on the chips really did make a world of difference, wow! It does look very Ghibli. I love the idea of a knobbly igloo. Like an igloo that's horribly diseased. Lovely :) (Also congratulations on the death of your smoke alarm!) BOYS FROM THE DWAAAAARF!!!!

[@DetectiveGesicht]

This turned out so dang cool! It was nice to sit, in a slightly slouched position, watching you make this.

[@EmanuelAliceaSantiago]

Not gonna lie, I do find your videos (the art, crafting, style, the idea, production, etc.) really good. Well, great, you know what, no. I find it excellent. I’ve even used them to relax and chill. They have even helped me sleep at night. Like, knowing that I am seeing an awesome video, I don’t know, it just helps me. So thanks for your work. Really. As someone that struggles with anxiety, depression but loves their adhd, I really am thankful. Big Caribbean hug, all the way from Puerto Rico.

Gotta keep it clean, save the particles for other filler. It saves from cleaning out the vacume cleaner and find tiny hairy d ussty parcels. Just keep your bits box clean for the other builds.@@Dan_Does

Great stuff Dan! A good stylistic twist on how fun and easy making some terrain can be, the satellite dish was particularly... dishy. Also I greatly appreciated the Red Dwarf reference

[@Dan_Does]

Appreciate it

This was soooo good! I love that the thumbnail didn't show the full glory of the completed project. Maybe my favourite make so far on the channel!

Those flowers, absolutely the Ghibli chef's kiss. Before the flowers it looked more like the landscapers hadn't bagged their grass trimmings after weedwhacking. Nicely done, Dan. (Though I'm still not convinced that you aren't Bill, despite that clever maze cameo.) 🧐

[@Dan_Does]

Thank you.

[@retrorandy77]

Your style of video has really settled in to a nice combination of crafting (which has great results) and the comedy of your earlier, non-crafting, videos. Also I don't want to sound like Dave the Sound Guy from Orgazmo (not sure if you're familiar with the Trey Parker and Matt Stone "classic"?) but you're looking in great shape in the sweetshop vignette. Being a man of advancing years I know how difficult it can be to stay in shape, so bravo 👏 Have I made this comment weird? I feel like I've made it weird. Probably even weirder for pointing out the weirdness.

[@Dan_Does]

I know Orgazmo! Thanks a lot. I'm not in shape at all really, just plan my angles and lighting well

[@retrorandy77]

@Dan_Does here was me thinking the death of the smoke alarm had given you some tremendous energy boost. It's nowt but camera sorcery 😂

[@jackrobson7172]

Lovely video, if you get a lot of these jars coming through it would be cool to see an entire base using raspberry elements. I bet you could do a good landing pad or missile silo with this as a base

[@Dan_Does]

Great idea. We have plenty of them

[@andygorman858]

You know your in for a treat when Dan does another vid….(see what I did there…Dan Does….Dan…..Dan Does……does Dan? Have to watch to find out I guess….). Loved the intro and the raspberry was a great finish. Was the 53 day wait worth it? Definitely! Looking forward to the next one 😉

[@Dan_Does]

You won't have to wait quite so long. Thank you!

This is incredible, it really is. Great to have you back as well. I wish I had your imagination and discipline. Was the base curling up there when you were pouring the flock on? How did you flatten it if so? This is going to be one of those dumb questions that well-meaning relatives ask who have no idea but are impressed, but: have you ever worked in film/TV model/prop creation or thought of seriously doing it?

[@Dan_Does]

I've never had a creative job, not really. The base was mdf wood. The kind you get on the back of a shelf or drawer

[@ShinB_ka]

Great build! The single regret I have concerns your bases, I think you probably should make them a bit larger, to let your buildings "breathe" more. Something like an inch around your whole build, maybe? At least. It would really highlitght your craft, rather than suffocate them like it can happen when the base is too small. Looking forward what you build next!

[@Dan_Does]

The reason the base is small is for functionality. The smaller the base, the better for storage and for gaming.
