Iris Chandelier Part I

[@xXDeadlygreedXx]

New subscriber. Think when you get the Valhalla door done you can post the whole process on here? I’d 100% sit for hours watching it happen lol

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thanks for following along, that means so much to me! Absolutely, that's definitely going to happen. Still working on the Valhalla door, so once that gets closer to completion we will start dropping KZbin videos of the whole process.

[@ladymagus8556]

Yes! I'd love to see it for sure!

[@joshmartin5979]

This is what i am waiting for

[@joshnichols8880]

Yes, please do a video on here when you’re done, I’ve been following it on TikTok for months, I seriously can’t wait to see the end result!!

[@ezekielbrinson315]

Me too

[@marjoleinmallee4133]

I cant wrap my head around the process of making a piece like this looks both rough and incredibly delicate! You're range scratches an itch i cant describe, Your range as an artist and craftsman is so satisfying! - your longtime fan Marulein

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Oh wow, thank you Marulein!! Thank you for your kind words and support!

[@drewski6596]

This channel deserves so much love. I found you on tiktok and you have been very successful on there. Your work is absolutely amazing and I would love to watch a 2 hour video of you working on the Valhalla doors project. Much love man. Keep up the great work

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much! We will absolutely be posting videos here on KZbin about the Valhalla doors. The whole project is going to take me about a year to build, so we will be release the videos when it gets closer to completion.

[@charissetenewitz1008]

Yes, please! to the 2hr video !!

[@J3ZU35]

The enthusiasm and love for your work is evident when you talk about how many bottles you’re going to put on the iris chandelier!

[@janespencer7864]

I, too, am a TikTok follower. Very grateful you've gone to this trouble because minute videos are not enough time to watch you at your craft. This is powerful beauty. I hope you continue to create more videos and wish you continued success. Thank you.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Wow, thank you so much! Your words are powerful, and I am so grateful! I have much more to share with you!

[@NeilSutherlandME]

The commentary is a great insight into the process as well.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Fantastic! We are hoping to add more commentary and voice over to future videos.

[@donna.p]

Hey I didn’t get Amy commentary? Did I miss it?

[@donna.p]

Ha ha was a little impatient there !😳

[@TarEcthelion]

@@Max_Randolph_Studios Love that it's not just "how" by why... The story about loving 3s and playing with the design for those of us who get lost in our heads looking at/into things. I appreciate the thought put into it as much as the work. Thank you.

[@beedumpling3820]

"23.....or 36, or maybe 33...yeah, cool number!" Your process is so fascinating to watch. Like a mad scientist/creative mastermind/prodigy/Renaissance man/artist! There is a definitive process, but it is organic and malleable. As a designer, I appreciate so much the effort you put into your work. Physically and creatively. Alright, I'm just fangirling now.....lol! Just awesome Max! :D

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Aw, wow! Thank you so much! Your words mean a lot to me, especially coming from another creative!

[@bratlett]

If there was “do overs” this is one skill I’d love to spend more time on. Great work Sir

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Why thank you, sir!

[@charissetenewitz1008]

Thank you so much for making this record of the process of such a beautiful piece!! It’s like jewelry for living spaces! One can just see and feel generations of ancestral craftsmanship in your work! There’s just something so magical in a hand forged piece vs the sterile machine made stuff we buy in stores!! Can’t wait for an update!

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Wow! Thank you so much, that means so much to me. I got so much more to come, can't wait to share it all with you!

[@Magicbuilder08]

This is literally what I dream about doing nearly everyday. I love working metal. I just can't seem to get in touch with my artistic side. I'll just have to live vicariously through your videos. I could sit here and watch you for hours.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much for watching! I am hoping to launch a Patreon page where I share some more in depth how-tos and blacksmithing tutorials.

[@MagicandStars497]

Followed from tik tok oh the magic beautiful stuff great videos

You need to publish a book of your drawings. I would 1000% buy something like that.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

I’m hoping to do a book soon!! I’ll announce it when that happens.

[@shnookleheimer3]

Awesome content. Can’t wait for those door videos. 😀

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you! Will definitely be sharing the Valhalla doors here on YT.

[@Sharkdog11b]

Man you’re inspiring. I’m an artist and I could only spend a lifetime hoping to develope my own version of your level of talent, I also admire your thoughtful intellectual way of thinking speaking and carrying yourself you have a very charismatic and mobile aura about you and it’s a beautiful thing to see that in a human being in this day n age, it’s rare with how many people lack the maturity to think for themselves and be there own version of themselves and instead base their identity off of what’s cool and “accepted” in the media or social media. Thanks for being you my friend, keep inspiring and we will keep watching. Take care.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Oh man, thank you so much! That means a lot to me, especially coming from another artist.

[@lexvandervorst1796]

Yet again. You're an artist!

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Aw thanks!!

[@jaredfields87]

Found you on the tok on the first day I got on the app last year. You’re content is so inspiring and is almost therapeutic… thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you for joining me here on YT as well as on TikTok! I'm so glad this is a therapeutic space for you, that was definitely one of the goals - to create a calm creative space for everyone.

[@jadencodega]

Hi! Can we please get some with more commentary like in your tiktok’s? Haha i love listening to how excited and passionate you are

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Aw, thanks! I absolutely plan on adding more commentary for the videos to come.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you! There's so much more to come

[@shawnhervieux5325]

Thats just insain.

[@ChazoTV]

Wonderful craftsmanship and beautiful artistry. In future would you add an intro or a voiceover of you talking about the piece, explaining why it was commissioned and your thoughts on the design you chose. The story behind each piece I believe would be very interesting. At least to me. Also, videos to the editors for putting a great visual together.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you, Jorge! That's a great request!! I will be sure to add more commentary about the process and inspirations behind the pieces I build. Stay tuned!

[@chrismills7704]

I followed you onto here from Tik-Toc. It is truly amazing how much talent, skill, and vision you have for your projects. I am astonished and you are an inspiration to many people. And I too, can not wait to see the Valhalla Door.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

That is so sweet! Thank you for joining me for this journey!

[@smashingtheadam]

Also, I’d LOVE if you did an AMA at some point. How long you’ve been doing this, how you got into it, where you draw inspiration from, etc.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

We have some videos planned that touch on a few of those questions. We will hopefully have those up here on YT this fall. Stay tuned!

[@gtattooing2241]

Discovered you recently on TikTok, came here, beautiful craft, keep them coming

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much for the support!

[@InfantileGambino]

My jaw actually dropped at 2:44 when I saw how well you had been able to match those curls with just freehand hammering (I'm assuming there's an actual blacksmithing word for it that I don't know 😅) I always look forward to your videos!

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Wow thank you so much! It's always satisfying when things line up in real life like I have them planned in my head.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much Mark! Inspiration comes from so many sources like nature, classic arts, other artists, literature, video games, storytelling … so many things!

[@attilahajnal3315]

Hello Sir, I just wanted to come by and support your page, I rarely find such interesting people with so much creativity as you. My good man, your works are very impressive, and I enjoy watching you put them together. Really cool stuff. Also, not for nothing but you are a very likeable guy as well, which helps heaps. Good people doing good things, I am with it. I ran across your pageo on tik tok, and was very impressed by the original pieces and the amazing craftsmanship you put into your art. I cant always comment on tik tok like I like to, my phone screen is cracked, the s doesnt work. lol. So, either way, love to see like longer videos, even then what you have here, but I do love this one, in all the ways you do it. I have had the blessings to do so many different types of work, almost all of them I feel at times. But sadly, I have never done any black-smithing. But maybe one day, if God allows. Thank you, your inspiring my own creativity, while not similar, definitly inspiring. At the moment I will give no suggestions, other then I want to see more and more, lol. I love it man.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Wow!! That made my day! Thank you so much for your kind words. I was having a rough day today, and that lifted my spirits!

[@Socks_on_YT]

Loved the video just wondering if you are going to post the hobbit door on youtube i think the design is awesome!

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much! I will be posting a video on the hobbit door for sure! Unfortunately, I wasn't in the habit of filming each step of my process back in 2017 when I built it, so it won't be as thorough as my current projects. I'm most excited to share the final piece with you all in an up-close way. Stay tuned!

[@helderfernandes8518]

Dude, just inspiring. I met you on Tiktok and hoped to have all your videos here. Where are? Please

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much! Just getting started here on KZbin, there's so much more to come! Planning on releasing one new video a month, first Thursday of each month.

[@laurastephanierosasdiaz231]

Hi! New subscriber here!! I just bumped into one of your tik toks and was blown away. Even though I'm a tiny girl, I've wanted to learn how to work with metal for a real long time. Do you have any tips on how I could start with a tiny project and without having to expend too much money?

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

So glad to have you here! Your tinyness won't limit you! You got this! I actually just started teaching an online apprenticeship on my patreon of you're interested!

Dude this shit is so damn cool!! Kinda wanna collab someday when i need set for my theatre shows ;);) keep up the vids man, they’re awesome!

Thank you so much! I love collaborations! Anytime I can let my imagination run wild I feel that creative reward.

[@kennl2857]

To quote Kylo Ren, "More! MORE, MMOORREE!!!" i loved watching this and would like to sew more. i would love if you and your editor could also have 1-2 hour long videos that capture more of the process. these 15 minute ones are just a tease. Also, when you make these thinge, do you do the electrical for them also or do you leave that to someone else?

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much Kenn! We are planning on posting longer videos, so stay tuned for those! As for the electrical, it depended on the project, but I typically like to work with a professional electrician to make sure that everything is perfect.

[@dpi9738]

You don’t gotta do it but it would be incredible if you did one of those impossible door things with like stained glass and stuff

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

I love working with stained glass! The hobbit door I built in 2017 utilizes stained glass! I don't have a video yet here on YT, but you can see it on my Instagram and TikTok.

[@leonsmith6718]

How did you learn to build and constructed all the things you do? Was you self taught or did someone teach you?

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Self taught mostly, it's been a journey of 20 years to cultivate all the different skills. I was surrounded by a few wonderful mentors that I am grateful for.

[@Srrrokka]

Hey dude, have you ever considered selling prints of your art? I really like your drawings :D

[@kimberlymendoza3103]

These items have to cost $1000 to get made…. So much work!!! And it’s dangerous.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Each piece takes hundreds of hours to design and build, months of work dedicated to one piece. Putting a price on it is always a challenge, especially because I don't know exactly how long it will take to complete.

[@matto6371]

Max you should put adds on your videos to make more money, I’m sure forging all this steel is not cheap!
