[@SteveRamsey]

You were so determined to make this happen! It's such a stunning piece. 👍👊

[@DIYDanie]

Thank you for your advice and help!!! 🙌

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I LOVE seeing mentorship in this space!

[@sharonaliza8984]

This would be a cool art piece on it’s own, but that it’s an actual maze is next level! Your creativity, problem-solving, and artistic eye is mind boggling!

[@CallMeHabi]

Okay Danie, your friend said it best "You did that? THAT'S INSANE?!!" 😮 Like... The time, love and effort you put into this piece is just out of this world, can't say I've ever seen another DIYer on YT doing something that crazy yet! Also love the bangs. ❤️

[@heidilynnfalk]

^ ditto x 100!!

[@mclollek2607]

I totally agree!! That was sooo amazing Danie!!!

[@ShakespeareGirlBzn]

Me at the beginning of the video: "Hmm. Sounds weird but okay." Me at the end of the video: "....I must have one." You never cease to amaze with your creativity!!

[@thepeachyhomeco.472]

^^^ sammmee 😂

[@tinamcivor2996]

My thoughts as well! I'm not that easily blown away but this is stunning!

[@hollibarbera3521]

Danie- I've watched you for years and you've created some genuinely unique and fabulous items but this project is AMAZING! What an awesome final result! I think the acrylic back was key, allowing the wall to enhance your art. Fantastic!

[@bridgettebollig2649]

Totally agree! I am wowed by this piece.

[@letitiakiu]

I need to make this for Stefan. HE WOULD LOVEEEEEE THIS. TRULY A MONTAGE OF A LIFETIME WOW

[@peggygilbert4659]

Love your videos. I'm old...82years. And early attic (hand me downs, thrifted,etc) has always been my style. So i am so inspired by your diy, recycling enthusiasm! Love,loved your pebble art piece, and your stairway, kitchen redo...frankly all of it! You are just so clever. But this maze art piece is so clever...and gorgeous! Go, Danie, go!

[@freedomintruth8260]

I think it’s A-MAZE-ING!!! It’s very unique and beautiful however a dusting nightmare. ❤️😘

[@mapleleaf0]

Yes, I was almost thinking it should be hung backwards so the plexi would prevent most dust.

[@augustineschaefer5522]

That would make an interesting resin table project…also way to go on re-sawing, that’s definitely a confidence booster. I’ve been using re-sawn scrappy pieces for everything from plant stands to linen closet organizers to a coffee station. The things I expect out of every project are experiences, problem solving, confidence building and mostly fun. Going through the grits at the end is less fun than the time of pencil to paper.

[@amandacampbell1959]

WHAT THE FREAKIN CRAP! Speechless. This was phenomenal. I am in awe of how you push yourself while showing us to push our own creativity. You make me feel like nothing is impossible!!!

[@LoriWatson11]

Wow Danie!! I never doubted you for a second….but this is insane! Watching you put all those little pieces together started to stress me out! I could never do something like that! You are amazing!

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

This is SICK! Well done, girl! That looks like A LOT of work. Kudos to you for keeping up with it. My only issue would be having to dust all those tiny surfaces... Maybe keep a can (or 2) of compressed air on hand for that. 😉

[@kayenacur]

I was thinking about that. You could have also hung it with the acrylic in front, although I do love the esthetic of this.

[@theresasestina601]

I thought the same thing! What a great suggestion! Dusting that would be murder but canned air or a blow dryer problem solved!

[@movingforwardLDTH]

My brain 100% added a piece of acrylic in the front, lol! In fact, I was brainstorming how one could make it so that it was a functioning maze w/some sort of moveable lever at the top allowing you to choose a path. Would use colored marbles or maybe wooden orbs (each stained in a different tint/tone/shade of a single hue?) would be lighter & cause less damage to the wood. Decided that the inability to remove the “errors” was rather Zen (there is no right or wrong; acceptance of things you cannot change, etc) and really appeals to me (who, like most old farts, has my share of paths that didn’t work out but it is all part of why I am who I am.). Ooo, would be even cooler if there were additional “choose a path” levers along, increasing the variations. (Lol, this is so me!). Now if I only had a workshop, some power tools … and the patience to actually manifest this. 🤣 Anyway, back to your point: Yes, dusting will be a bear, especially all those right angles … rather than blowing the dust away (canned air or hair dryer), which will just blow it into the areas just dusted, perhaps a better answer is one of those vacuum attachments for keyboards … but it is gorgeous!!!

[@lestranged]

put plexiglass on the front and then use a dry-erase marker to solve it

[@movingforwardLDTH]

@@lestranged !

[@mrscb5303]

Gorgeous!! I saw you mention in comments about a smaller version being a coffee table… brilliant!! This was a astonishing idea and brought to life even more spectacular than I could have imagined. Much like another comment, I worry about dusting it, but I’m no fun 😉☺️. Your new haircut is so adorable, suits you! Thank you for making my Saturday mornings so pleasant. 💚💚💚

[@rosalyngonzalez7747]

The fact that your brain can even manufactur, such genius, is absolutely amazing !!!! LOVE IT!!! You are a genius!

[@elizabethsteinat1246]

how you don't have 1 million subscribers is beyond me, everything you do is amazing.

[@marvymaxee]

The complexity involved to design and create this is so impressive! Really really really cool. 👏👏👏👏❤️👏👏👏

[@JamieJumbles]

This is my Happy Saturday ritual- sitting with a cup of coffee and watching your latest instalment. I have to say Danie you have out done yourself! I agree with comments saying this is an incredible testament to your imagination, pride in craftsmanship and love for your friends. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts with us ❤️

[@hlucienne]

I DESPERATELY WANT THIS FOR MY LIVING ROOM!!! I have a spot that needs something, and now nothing else will satisfy!!! I don’t picture me being capable of drawing it, let alone making it. Did I mention the color matches our trim! So thanks Danie for creating the picture in my head when I look at my blank wall.

[@laurendao4467]

I am aMAZEd by this!!! 😉 I am especially impressed that you just went for the maze straight on the acrylic. I thought maybe you’d put the pieces together, then lay them out and then glue. But I suppose all those small portions would have made that still a massive undertaking. Bravo, Danie!!!

[@kristineolsson751]

Danie - I bow to you! That artwork is absolutely amazing! Regards, Kristine, Stockholm, Sweden.

[@georgiakuchinsky]

i literally teared up at the end? this is the most stunning thing i've ever seen. what an incredible friend you are.

[@lechatbotte.]

Phew awakened to four inches of snow and it’s still falling. Made coffee dogs had to go out sheesh. The curtain bags looks amazing. Then comes the labyrinth hee hee move < insert> movie montage clips

[@cathylavorante6871]

Same except I awoke to a storm and all my animals trying to get on top of me because the howling wind and thunder were to much. I was ready for a dark room and KZbin but within minutes the sun was out. Everyone was fed and let out to do their thing. Love , love , love Dani’s hair and that maze was spectacular. Now coffee.

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

This was SO EPIC! One of the best projects you have done. And that is saying something. It seems when you challenge yourself by going with an out-of-the-box idea, you just doing amazing things. I LOVE watching your channel.

[@everyoneknowsitslindy6074]

I love this! This reminds me of those tiny apothecary-like shelves where people put those tiny objects that could have been for a small dollhouse or something. It would be so cute them in there one day. lol.

[@astzfat3319]

A-MAZ-ING!!! No pun intended! Turned out BEAUTIFULLY!

[@jessicaknutson4502]

I love this so much! Remind me of a piece I made about 10 years ago for a friend's wedding gift. They're both avid Scrabble players, so I made a 4 ft by 4 ft Scrabble board with teeny tiny 2-in canvases as the letter pieces.

[@nancydugas3022]

That is a seriously beautiful piece of art. I think most people would be proud to own that piece. Well done. I love it!

[@christinepearson9449]

This wall art is epic, I might try to diy a much smaller scaled version with jenga blocks maybe 🤷‍♀️. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@m.maclellan7147]

Using Jenga blocks is a GREAT IDEA ! Also, could use Lego to introduce color, or for a kids room !

[@sailorallie9046]

Great idea!!

[@julieforan3559]

This is amazing!!!! I truly believe something like this in a gallery could sell for many thousands of dollars. The planning and execution seemed to go so well which is remarkable given the complexity of the design. Congratulations!

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

Well, honestly, with the maze part alone taking two and a half days to put together (I'm guessing about 8-10 hour days, but knowing Danie, probably longer) plus the frame construction time and materials... all of that would demand a high sale price. And even that would probably not really feel it's a worthy price to own such a masterpiece!

[@kimpaynter]

Oh DANIE DANIE DANIE wow just wow !!!!! I can’t believe it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I have to chuckle your attention to detail and the patience to put it together I would’ve pulled my hair out great job.

[@maxjunimo]

This is brilliant and everything but can we also talk about how freaking amazing those bangs look on you?! 😍

[@bschultz7390]

Yes….her bangs made me think, “ maybe should I get bangs?” Dangerous, that they look so good!

[@dominicdelacruz4572]

OMG Danie!!! The only word I can come up with is RESPECT!!!! ♥️

[@valerie702]

The patience and diligence to perfectly precise cutting and gluing each piece of wood is outstanding! I would love to have one of these. It is so beautiful. I hate dusting tiny nooks and crevices though, so I would add another plexiglass layer on the top and then insert a magnetic ball that could be moved with a stylus.

[@joyeyoder4783]

Her reaction was the best ever. Nice job, Danie.

[@gigi-jeff]

1. Love your hair! 2. Love that you challenge yourself and accomplish your goals! 3. Love your Creativity 🛵🛵

[@amyweaver7413]

I love the look of this art piece but I would never have the patience for this project. Bravo to you for sticking with it. 👏👏👏

[@amberdoran]

This is incredible! The detail work, the patience required, the ability to stick with it to the end. 🤯 Plus, it's stunning!! I love this and would have it in my home for sure. The acrylic back is a game changer! ♥️♥️

[@olbird7647]

"INSANE" was right....wow! that certainly exercised your creativity and patience. Lady, your dedication and perseverance are admirable.... a truly generous gift 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lisasmith9123]

Boy did you set yourself a real challenge. Fantastic work, patience and perseverance. Amazing.

[@user-ms3xt4pc3w]

People would pay thousands for artwork like this, so unique 😍

[@lostinspejs]

In each video, even before I can see the final result (although it's always amazing 🤩😍), I MUST hit the like button because of something hilarious you say! I love, love, love your sense of humor ❤ and this project is beyond amazing, beautiful, and creative 🙌🏻💪🏻👏🏻

[@we2go11holediggers3]

I love mazes they are the best puzzle games ever. There are no rules and everyone can have fun solving. 😉

[@madelineDaMiddle1]

Danie, it's official: You. Are. A. BADASS. This piece is gorgeousness. Thank you for sharing the journey. It is an inspiration. Blessings.

[@danielharmon15]

Anyone else wish there was a little marble and magnet to go along the path? Awesome build!!

[@BaskEtcAse1970]

This was such a beautiful piece that you have every right to be proud of! I actually thought you would have mapped out the maze at the back of the acrylic 🤔 But as usual Danie, excellent job!

[@alexiamairesse7742]

Epic!! You did it again! I absolutely love the art piece hanging in your house with the stones, but this looks insanely good!! I’m such a fan of your work!! Congrats !!! 😍😍

[@mellissarondinelli9682]

Thanks for the sponsor ... I am working on a gallery wall for my new office and needed some help. Love the new haircut and BANGS!!! OMG ... amazing art work - you are so talented!!

[@sharonbain3694]

I LOVE THIS!!!! What an incredible feat!!! I am wanting a Statement and unique coffee table and this night just be my inspiration!!! Absolutely fabulous Dani!! 😍

[@susanhawk8730]

It's so beautiful! My son loved mazes as a child, it would be wonderful to give him such a special piece of art. I love shadow boxes too. This reminds me of a shadow box my first boyfriend made me with the different size compartments to put my little treasures I found in nature. You are so talented and creative! I look forward to every Saturday morning so I can watch your video.

[@wdeckj4871]

Mine did too! I am going to make this!! Another person pointed out cleaning it. I think if you were to enclose the whole piece that would take care of that. I absolutely love this!!

[@lovecara1]

Dani, you are almost near a scientist. Thia piece is incredible.

[@Tanny.M]

Super cool and an awesome gift for a blind person, because they like art too!

[@karinz9106]

It‘s looks absolutely beautiful! By distressing the wood you made it look as if the dwarfs themselves made it out of metal! And as if it is centuries old. Love that look. And I love your bangs! 😻😻😻 And your kind of humor! 😂😂😂 Makes life a bit better! 😻😻😻

[@debbieidi5517]

Oh. My. GOSH!! What an amazing project. What an incredible result! You have really outdone yourself, dear Danie!!!! FABULOUS!!! 🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖

[@anniq2678]

I both can and cannot believe you did this. You’re so talented but it’s so much work and design. Wow! Also your editor is the real mvp of that montage. The pieces showing up to the beats of the music was amazing. Well done all around. You’re the best!

[@marynapier2007]

Girl... YOU ARE FEARLESS!!!! Not just the time but the mental gymnastics from working out the maze then gluing down all the little pieces. You never cease to amaze me!!

[@sazennonumber]

Insane!! So awesome! I think that the acrylic sheet was a brilliant idea and it reflects light, which is a bonus. Dave melted my heart and I made tiny noises (thankfully, there was nobody around me at the time).

[@mowattlavern62]

That's so cool. But I couldn't do myself. That's very intricate work. Congratulations to you Dani

[@aevan8tor]

that looks very time consuming but possibly one of the coolest pieces I've ever seen.

[@jhutch1681]

Wow to the creativity and the passion! I have no idea how you got the puzzle from your head to the page to the art, especially without a full scale drawing behind the acrylic to work over. You go, girl!

[@darlenelech]

You are amazing that maze is incredible!! Love the bangs❤️🙋‍♀️

[@JL11775]

Impressive! What an intricate and labor intensive project. When you said how long it would take I thought you were going to say 2 weeks, not 2 DAYS! 😮 Well done, as usual, Danie! 👏👏👏

[@magietagie]

I am often impressed by the things you do, but this time I am awed by what have been able to create!!!

[@VictryAngel619]

This art piece brings me so much joy. I wish I knew someone this crafty to make one for me.

[@abmoralesrosado]

I just can’t believe it. You are so crazy brilliant! This maze blew me away! Thank you so much Dani for making these videos! 🥰🥰🥰🥰😋

[@Sasyemy.]

Girl this project has bumped you to the coolest DIY channel out there 👀

[@leahwilson9152]

Danie. This is not a DIY, this is a masterpiece. Like genuinely you could hang it in a museum and some snobby rich person would offer a million dollars for it.

[@donnafranquemont4206]

And your coolness factor just went into the stratosphere!

[@mirandabruning3953]

A-maze-ing!! I wish I had the ti.e and patience to make something this gorgeous 🥰

[@grammybear4226]

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤ 🎀 ❤ 🎀 ❤ 🎀

[@samanthajohnson3368]

I always look forward to you posting a new video, exciting to see what you've been up to. Just when I think it can't get any better, you pull another outstanding idea out of you golden bag and outdo yourself yet again. The stain on this piece is perfect, the intricacies of development as you look at it bit by bit trying to figure it out unbelievable. It's a place of mental tranquility and at the same time development. It reminds me of old traditional Japanese panels but with a twist, I love it. Incredibly beautiful and love the fact that the wall can be seen from behind it, it only serves to enhance the hard work you put into it. Finishing touch is the metal points, amazing.

[@nancypettitt1211]

YOU ARE SO AMAZINGLY TALENTED. THAT PIECE IS BEAUTIFUL DANIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. Thanks so much for putting so much hard work and love into something that is unique and peaceful.

[@ChantellVenterPmb]

So much patience required....can only be done if there's passion, which u clearly have, looks amazing!

[@nonficjeanne]

This is so cool!! So satisfying seeing the finished piece on the wall. ALSO bangs!! Love the bangs. 😊

[@bwhite8333]

This project is amazing! How in the world did you ever figure it out or even think of it? Your work gets better every project you take on. I am so impressed with you Dani. It's just beautiful but I think it needs to be in a gallery somewhere!

[@janetbodine5733]

WOW!!! Stunning - beautiful - and so much FUN!!!

[@jacquelinecasey1361]

This is beyond! Award worthy🏆🥇🏅🎖

[@juliebey8240]

Danie you are INSANELY talented and amazing. You actually put each little piece of wood in there! I thought you were going to do one large laser cut which would have been gorgeous by itself. But NO! You are so gifted 🥰bravo👍👏

[@kwixmonster1762]

It's absolutely beautiful, Danie! ❤ As it is, it's beautiful but it being an actual maze is even cooler! I truly admire your patience and determination to create this stunning piece of art.

[@annette224m]

Wow, absolutely amazing! You have the patience of a saint to do this piece.This is just stunning!! TFS😊

[@bonnieo4501]

The maze is amazing! It is very fun to see the process you go thru when creating a piece. Way to go Dani!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Wow.....what an A-maze-ing piece! Love the new haircut also.

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

Morning, ready for a good DIY, Danie. The art maze is adorable.

[@maureenhaggard6897]

A*MAZE*ING!!!!!!!! I love how your brain works......I mean who would even think of making a wood maze never mind having the perseverance to actually do it. Great art.

[@presidentanp]

Wowww soo meticulous!! The attention detail *chefs kiss * you’re my fave DIY/Design KZbin bc your projects are so dope and original!

[@kathrynmccarthy]

Literally the coolest art piece ever! You did such a good job Danie!

[@mary78880]

Love Steve Ramsey! So cool that you reached out to him!

[@ScottJack-ep9fv]

This is by far the coolest thing I've seen you make on your channel

[@DodondRice]

Simply put....Great job Danie!!!!👏🎊🧡

[@lafinitryder]

Daaaang girl! You know how to put the Danie in DIY! Stunning piece and your creativity is beautiful 😍

[@findjanet]

I love your enthusiasm, tenacity and creativity, well done!

[@kajnadams]

That art is AMAZING! WOWWWWWW! I am astounded because as you were describing it I couldn't believe you were going to be as detailed as you described! Well done!

[@lottirawleartist]

I love this so much!! It would also be really cool to add a ballbearing inside and magnet on the front so you can move it through the maze 🤩

[@terrioakley2250]

Absolutely fantastic! It looks like a maze but then also Asian art which ties on so well with their dresser beside it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@gloriastage1635]

Danie, that is one epic piece of beautiful art work. 👏👏👏 You pulled that off so nicely. I love it. You are one talented artist and accomplish what ever to set out to do. I live for Saturday mornings when I can watch your ideas come to life. Great work, Danie. You are truly amazing!

[@caregumin]

Mind blown. What a creative and amazing job Danie!!!

[@suegiddinge424]

This is Amazing! So glad you pushed through. Once again you have made Beautiful Art!

[@debschreiner3600]

That is an absolutely stunning piece! Awesome work, and yes, I would definitely take that project on.

[@maryloumorrisey7406]

Wow! By the end, I was aMAZEd at how incredible this project is! You ROCK!

[@myrahogan3110]

This was so cool. It has a Chinese feel to it to me. I absolutely would not do this myself, because you have to be a certain kind of smart to have figured out the actual puzzle part. Congratulations Danie. This is extraordinary!

[@patriciavincent1569]

Love the hair cut especially the bangs they make your face look round and soft and I always love the color. Love the maze, you are so talented!
