Martina: "I hate making bricks" Also Martina: **Makes bricks in literally every medium**

[@sebastianjost]

They always look great though. It's just very tedious and repetitive to make them.

[@VoxNerdula]

shits bricks too

[@tokus64]

Chocolade is her favorite medium.

[@JiMala_BC]

@@sebastianjost They always come out looking STELLAR. It just made me giggle remembering her talking about how tedious they are xD

Came to the comments to say this lol. Whole brick only chimney lol

"I've never worked with chocolate!" ...proceeds to build epic cottage masterpiece in the first go. 🙄😄👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@nightfall89z62]

Yep, typical nerdforge.

[@tzxazrael]

they have really mastered "transferable skills". make a million foam bricks... ok now how do we do it in chocolate? well it's basically the same except the chocolate is harder.

[@RoopeLokkila]

Yup

[@dwbelew]

They frequently attempt new projects and do amazing work. So happy to be following this channel!!

[@rosaliac.386]

Right tho! It's incredible!! *It does help that it's already tempered chocolate, this would be SO much harder if they tried to make their own tempered chocolate for this project (which is what chocolatiers would do). *This is just a side note, doesn't take away from the awesomeness of this project

[@benniebug]

At a job interview: Interviewer: "What skills do you have?" Martina: "Yes."

[@tripwire76]

and she's being pretty modest there

[@mmace3]

All the skills, she has so much talent.

[@SylviaSilvers]

😂 true

[@FrozenVaIkyrie]

Let's be honest here: the most difficult part wasn't to make this wonderful house, the most difficult part was to not EAT IT while you were making it 😂

[@nephicus339]

This is why you always buy extra building materials. ;)

[@FrozenVaIkyrie]

@@nephicus339 Indeed! xD

"ive never worked with chocolate or barely made a gingerbread house." makes a masterpiece even experienced chocolatiers wish to make

[@uniwolfgamer1094]

Well Hans is doing half the work so it takes half as long

[@RobbySauce]

This makes my giant gingerbread house look like trash 😂 I love it! So frickin talented!

[@layaan.m9977]

Hi Robby!

[@dasparado]

Yes but if you make that trash gingerbread house every year, I bet in just a few more it will start to look amazing.

[@ImCassy]

I love how they are just like "we are going to make a chocolate house randomly" and BAM! The most incredible house ever!

[@colormagic7819]

[@MorganHarborne]

yeah🤣🤣

[@lucpar23]

Leave it to you guys to make the most epic "gingerbread" house. Well done. Now I want to eat my weight in delicious chocolate

[@cameo86]

I probably just did eat that much chocolate watching this 😅

[@dragick5646]

this made me a little teary. You guys put so much time and effort into your projects (which is why they turn out amazing every time). Just the amount of inspiration I gain from all your hard work is amazing, thank you for sharing and creating, cheers to the future 🥂

[@LD-bv1pm]

The only channel where I don't skip the ads, simply to watch Martina talking into a trowel :) This project was amazing as always, and the sweaters are awesome !!

[@caitlinmackie8412]

As someone who works with chocolate professionally, this is incredibly impressive. Well done.

[@cutepuppy4833]

The gingerbread house looks amazing and it is a project that alot of people can do at home. Well done it looks so good. Merry Christmas to you two

[@chrisbouvier]

I know! It’s awesome to have DIY’s that doesn’t take too many crazy tools

[@paulrapp613]

“I didn’t know it would be this much work!” Your mantra, Martina. The amount of time and energy you invest in your projects always shows in the end product. The word ‘artist’ was minted just for you. May your 2022 be filled with new and even more creative ideas and projects. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🎆🎊🎈 greetings from New Mexico, U.S.A.

[@ThisRandomGuyYouDidntNotice]

just imagine hosting a christmas party and instead of desert you have this badboy on your buffet *-*

[@tipcdragon9791]

My grandma has us decorate homemade gingerbread houses every year. So I have about 25 years of experience , if you take out my toddler years, and this is better than anything I have ever made. Also, HANSI! More Hansi please. Hoping his inclusion in more recent videos means that y'alls business is doing well!

[@Tiki_Media]

I loved watching your expressive faces as the project was revealed. Like a kid in a candy store! I hope you were able to maintain a reasonable caloric intake, haha.

[@brodalski3092]

One way to make edible windows is to put a bunch of popsicles in a bag, tie the bag, and hammer it to crush them. After that, you put the crushed popsicles in the shape you want on a tray, and put it in the oven. It will also give a great stained glass look

[@colormagic7819]

When I'm feeling low, you guys bring a lot of simple joy to my life. The art of creation and your positivity helps me feel better about the world. I know it sounds dumb, but thanks for all that you do.

[@DawnFischer25]

Not dumb at all. I recently found their channel. I put them on in the background as stress relief. They make me want to DO. Absolutely stunningly beautiful.

[@jackielearnsandteaches]

Back at the end of 2022 to revisit the chocolate house! It’s amazing to see how far they’ve come in another year!

[@phelanii4444]

I can't even imagine how cold that room had to be so all that chocolate didn't melt in your hands. It looks so cool!!

Is there anything you can't do? Bravo! I literally said, "Oh my word!" and giggled like a crazy person when I saw that you even added lights to the house (of course you did!). No, no, YOU are amazing!

[@nightfall89z62]

I don't think there is anything she can't do when it comes to crafting. I wish I had half her talent.

[@mpet483]

That…was so much cooler than I expected! I especially love the sculpted door and the gelatin window panes!

[@ValeriePallaoro]

Two years later ... The brilliance of these two, collaborating on a project where the opening brief is Martina: lets make a plan, a diagram, a schematic Hansi: I kinda wanna just make a square, and when you put one square on top of another square, what have you got? That's the true Nerdforge aesthetic.

[@ScenicCuriosities]

You are seriously the biggest inspiration ever to all of our creative projects. Thank you for everything you both do!!

[@allietaylor4991]

I agree wholeheartedly. SUCH INSPIRATION, SO LITTLE FREE TIME!

[@ScenicCuriosities]

@@allietaylor4991 they’re the best!

[@marketasloka]

thats absolutly amazing. Wanna make one also, just tell me please, how do not eat the chocolate before it´s done. 😅

[@chickensoupmachine5151]

It was so creative of you to use gelatin leaves for windows! Merry Christmas to everyone and hope you have a nice break!

[@Nerdforge]

It's such a great trick!! We did not invent it though, saw someone use it on TikTok!

[@Sanyaenyenwa]

@@Nerdforge It's an old technique that predates TikTok (or the Internet for that matter) by quite a lot. My mother already used it some 40 years ago.

[@SailorMya]

This is so charming and I'm hungry now!!! I love how they used twix and kitkats for beams! It has been quite a year for Nerdforge and it was nice to see a recap.

[@romonaelrod7870]

Your chocolate "ginger bread" house is amazing. I love your Star Wars winter sweaters ,they are so cool.

[@poeticrockstarr6875]

You two are so talented, that chocolate house looks too good to eat. Also, while watching this, all I kept thinking was 'lucky you guys live in the north, otherwise that house would become a puddle.' Merry Christmas Martina and Hansi, can't wait to see what you guys come up with in 2022. Love from Australia.

[@athiyamahapatra8118]

FRRR- They're so hecking talented and I'm proud they have access to adequate resources to explore their talent. Ngl if i attempted to make something like this I'd have to work in a walk-in refrigerator bc of India's heat

[@nyxyn3109]

Thank you! You too!

[@madbren]

Martina, the incredible beauty and artistry that resides in your being, mind, heart, and soul are amazing to behold. Thank you for sharing it with us all. Wishing you and yours a beautiful, warm, and incredible Christmas. I wish you the most incredible 2022 full of love, continued artistic growth, and happiness!

"Hopefully this will kinda look like snow" ... *Makes winter wonder dream land of ice*

[@inky_feathers]

The fact that you actually used Freia Melkesjokolade and Kvikk Lunsj made me really homesick for Norway. I used to eat those with my host sister in front of the tv during Christmas time (and the rest of the year, too). Thank you both for your amazing, inspiring content! Your videos helped me more than once through some rough times and I almost always feel like crafting nerdy things afterwards. Thanks to you I started embracing that urge I guess I always had. I'm looking forward to another year of awe-inspiring projects from you. Take care and god jul!

[@agnesimaitiene7095]

These guys are so extra in everything they do. And as always it turned out absolutely amazing. I don't care what kind of witch lives in this candy house, I'm walking in. 😍

Me too! Happily!

Is there anything you two can't do?! This is epic! Have a great Xmas and New year. Best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎅🎄💖

[@symondstwins]

Amazing project, though I'm a bit disappointed you did not act like giants and take a huge bite out of the house at the end...

[@tectonicplate6555]

As someone who likes to bake this was so cool to watch! The idea to make the roof and the door with the help of silicon molds is the most creative I've ever seen! This is one of the reasons why one should always try out new things and experiment with new mediums in art, because these great ideas will surface that most people that are used to their medium would never have. I had a lot of fun watching this and all of your other videos this year, thank you for inspiring me and others so much with your projects!

the final final result! thank u both for making this channel & sharing your art & yourselves with us! it was an amazing thing to find your videos in 2021 & each one is special, had to pause on the 3d resin cause i love the fire mage & maple tree so much, had this as my laptop wallpaper for a while. 2022 will be even greater with u creating & making stories in the new workshop, u made youtube 1,000,000x better, skjera bagera!

Congratulations for an excellent year! You both are such great artists! I loved the overview of what you've accomplished this year, it is truly amazing!

One way to make edible windows is to melt boiled sweets and cast them into sheets. Awesome job on this project! Who gets to eat it?!

[@roycolover]

Wow ... Just wow . I really got emotional in the end. You have created such beautiful pieces of art, you deserve all the praise you are getting and more.

That moment when Martina was putting chocolate into a water bath, and eating some I was Wondering: how many barrs "disappeared" in creation of this? :p Merry Christmas to you, Nerdforge!

Looking at your 2021, I'm happy to see that your resin art has trended and inspired other artists too! You should try something crazy like painting inside a full head casting with resin and painting things inside of it!

[@preciousypenguino]

Ok, they have done a few house builds this year and I was motivated to make a snow castle! Not at the precision and artistic level of our Nerdforge masters, but it was so fun to make and it's pretty cute! 18" tall, with windows, balconies, a little bridge and lights inside.... also the imperfections are hidden by layers of glitter 😆 Thank you both for the inspiration 💙

[@cody7812]

Had a foreign exchange student from Norway in my high school and we became close friends for that year and hearing that accent makes me long for a different time, But I recently found you all and I love your videos the amount of talent you all possess just amazes an Eastern Kentucky men like myself it is just wonderful! Honestly the arts are not really respected in many rural parts of the US and what a shame It is. So truly a refreshing sight to watch some amazing art.

Lovely and sooo Christmasy! And Hansi in front of the camera, yayyy! Hope to see more of you Hansi in the year to come! And now for something completely different. Thank you, guys. I discovered your channel early this year. Las Christmas I moved to an unfinished house, I was stressed, exhausted, immensely tired, I almost touched rock bottom. But in February I found you, I started binge-watching all your videos and they were one of the things that helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. What's more, seeing you doing your projects (especially the van, the new studio and all of the paintings) helped to renew my interest in finishing my house. In the end, I started to really enjoy designing and decorating the new rooms and creating different stuff to make the house feel better. And I felt better too. So thanks. Have a lovely Christmas and see you in 2022. :)
