Quinn Strikes Back...Again! (Wooden Swords?!) S4E16

[@WyrmLyfe]

Another competitor review is coming soon! Feel free to keep sending us your projects. It's not too late!

[@1218Draco]

My first thought when I saw those cylindrical dice towers… Tiki… Make those things freaking tiki faces and they would sell like hotcakes

[@xMRxZEROx]

Jason: "I hate mixing woods. I never liked that." Says the guy who crafted that gorgeous DM screen for Matt Mercer. Out of several different woods. 🤟🏻🤣

[@liljanott2135]

there are time where it works and times where it doesn't

[@ecogeek234]

Just because you do it doesn't mean you have to like it

[@xMRxZEROx]

@@liljanott2135 I agree.

[@volinarsworkshop4818]

lol i totally get jason's perspective. i much prefer clean wood trays but i do a lot of custom carving. currently doing an entirely over elaborate mollymauk themed tray carved with all of his tattoos. it's fun but nothing like letting the wood speak for itself. The trick is getting woods that constract the walls AND the leather being used well.

[@ogzombiebreakfast]

I love a beautiful inlay

[@TabletopArchives]

Do people really not like Jason? I think Jason is a pretty chill dude and I very much enjoy his input to Wyrmlyfe (and the other stuff he actually gets paid to do)

[@WyrmLyfe]

We all love Jason ❤️ We also love shitting on Jason ❤️❤️

[@as1tis]

The most liked person is often the one everyone feels best about to take the piss with :P

[@zday6790]

Only the bestest of friends shit on each other constantly. Take that comment as you will 😉👍

[@skoltrollkallamik4450]

We love Jason a lot. We just love Quinn a little bit more.

[@Burnrn717]

We all need the one guy to shit on...Jason is it. Sorry Jason, but I think you are ok.

[@matthewbr2]

It makes sense and is perfectly fair. The "cost" of you guys giving reviews on people's products is one of the products. The reviews are good and super helpful to people working in the craft. I am a leatherworker myself and if experts in the field offered to review whatever was sent to them I would gladly give some of my stuff for pointers. Just my two cents, love you guys keep being amazing!

[@lextrueno]

Thanks for putting my gag gift in the episode guys! It was funny seeing it in the episode.

[@WyrmLyfe]

Thank you for the laugh Lex!

[@Andrew-lz7ws]

Forget the product! Let's identify the woodshavings. Wyrmwood in a nutshell.

[@volinarsworkshop4818]

They were pretty spot on. Ian was right on the southern yellow pine. Those are some of the box shavings along with one of the bags from my handmade 8' workbench

[@Indian0Lore]

Volinar's Workshop I love this idea, I’m going to suggest it to my dad for our packaging.

[@j.d.3597]

@@volinarsworkshop4818 It's a really fun way to package. Packing Peanuts: Awful and are like glitter where they get everywhere & haunt you for life Wood Shavings: Elegant and fun, lets me know what I'm getting. Probably smells WAY better than styrofoam...

[@RoseKindred]

@@volinarsworkshop4818 As someone who reuses sawdust, chips, and shavings, I would love if more people packaged like that. Biodegradable, insect and rodent resistant (well, some types like cedar), and free. I use the excess for compost, yard hole filling, and mix with wax and cotton balls for fireplace starters.

[@volinarsworkshop4818]

@@RoseKindred i literally have four yard bags full of pine from when i made the leviathan *my roubo workbench* plus i like to try and throw in some of the shavings of the item people commission. i think it's an interesting touch if not a great free shipping material.

[@Brian85B]

Every team needs a Well Balanced Ed and a Savage Quinn.

[@1218Draco]

You know Quinn & Savage got married, right?

[@volinarsworkshop4818]

Thanks for the review guys! Jason is correct that all of my work is made completely with restored antique handtools though you guys were wrong about the leather. It is in fact real leather and i completely agree plether has no place in this world. I gladly sacrifice the cow to the dice gods!!

[@volinarsworkshop4818]

I should also mention it was a sapele mahogamy tray. Pretty on the nose with the shavings. The southern yellow pine came off my handmade 8'x30" roubo workbench. Free pqcjing and ecofriendly!

[@fjorgthebuilder]

Amazing work dude love it! Congratulations on getting that beautiful dice tray into their hands!

[@NightcrawlerofR]

I'm so glad they continued to do reviews after your tray came in! I saw you commenting about your progress on videos and such! So glad to see it!

[@RoseKindred]

@@volinarsworkshop4818 I loved those dovetails. It sounds weird to say but it is true. They were slightly raised but you beveled the edges so they were not jarring. A small little detail that perhaps would be missed but up close it is appreciated.

[@volinarsworkshop4818]

@@RoseKindred all my trays comes with proud dovetails. if you're gonna show em then you gotta be proud of em! i hand cut all of them with a chisel, it's extra work but i think it shows off and lets my trays apart in the land of the miter cut! love just running my fingers over them while i play!

[@ragnarokkrdragonash7897]

Still about 20 minutes to go and already 10 people have liked it cuz they know it is going to be GRAND! Addendum: after watching it, it was even better than grand!

[@WyrmLyfe]

"Better Than Grand" is our motto

[@Primal2229]

Ah man, I had a boss like Quinn before. Everything is bad, you need to do A, B,C,D, and E better. There was a point where plant manager came over to attempt a pep talk because I actually doing a good job and not to take the criticism too personal (People actually quit in the past). That said, the day the floor QC told me I did a good job several people who heard just stopped dead in their tracks to stare in amazement. It was definitely a level up and achievement unlocked moment XD

[@arjan_mann]

You guys have no idea how much I look forward to Wyrm Lyfe each week. Doug, Ian, Ed, Bobby, JV, Jason, Johnny, Quinn, Big Tony, Savage- absolutely everybody makes me smile as soon as you all appear on my screen (yes, even Gates and Adam haha). Thanks for entertaining us all- we appreciate it more than you guys know!

[@MsArana]

I want Wyrmwood swords to go with the shields now!

[@HLBear]

Make hangers for the swords that are engraved with the tree logo. A sword hanging in the center would complete the look. I can picture it now.

[@tatianatub]

the bowser sound when quin joins the video was hilarious

[@WyrmLyfe]

😉🙌

[@Verity_Reigns]

Ok guys seriously please just poach Crazy Ed and hire him and Cesia to start the official Wyrmwood game-board department. It would be so cool. Like you can even start a kickstarter with different bespoke boards and pieces to well known games. I mean I haven’t played Chinese checkers in forever, but a nice Wyrmwood board with some cool resin pieces might make me pretty tempted to take it up again, just saying.

[@morningrose428]

Oh man same. Or a traditional checkers set. I'd buy it.

[@yourLittleSinner]

Yes, please!

[@Verity_Reigns]

Morning Rose Ooh yes! Speaking of which Backgammon would look great too with all those contrasting triangles. I grew up with a checkers set that had a checkerboard on one side and a backgammon board on the other. Maybe that’s another option to consider.

[@Verity_Reigns]

I’m excited to see if you’re reviewing wooden swords or making them. Honestly that would be an awesome collaboration with Take This.

[@EvanKorf]

I love the reviewing competitors portion! It's been helpful for my own woodworking.

[@sqwgglz]

Could you do a Basic How To Wyrm series on getting those things you were talking about right? Liiiiiike removing excess glue or IDK aligning pieces together... IDK what I'm talking about but you get me right? Also, more Quinn. Put them in a room with the products and let them go H.A.M.

[@TheEroth1]

12:10 Gouges, not gauges? The dice tower didn't work at Hot Topic.

[@tygeron3145]

Yay Big Tony is back in the shop. Yay more Quinn and Wow awesome Swords

[@GingerDachshund]

Love that they have Quinn with the monster sounds lol. Everyone else sounds a little rough giving feedback, mainly Doug. But when Quinn thrashes, for some reason it sounds like constitutive feedback.

[@luisalvarez2519]

Shout out to the person choosing the songs at the end! Good taste!

[@vincentwinqvist4023]

Can we make Quinn's Review Show a sub-segment of Wyrm Life?

[@SnorlaxUsedRest]

To everyone who made something in this video, "Ya did good honey!" *hands out participation ribbons. Snaps pictures*

[@zidanewaterflower]

The bar has now been sent! You have to start making little Wyrmwood Swords to go with the Shields! It's only fair

[@tazmon122]

i figured Jason for King Richard's Faire....not Plymouth Plantation...knowing that totally explains Wyrmwood's mission statement so much more.

[@lilbob7]

Quinn would be very angry at the misspelling of gouges.

[@elijahwoodonascooter9349]

I really love Quinn's segments because it shows just how much attention y'all are paying to the quality of your product! And well... watching them silently destroy other people is also fun...

[@Jigsawiskiller]

Big Tony and Quinn in the same episode! Awesome! I really enjoy these reviews keep them coming!

[@HazardSpork]

Quinn is QC. As a former ISO auditor, it's her job and I appreciate it

[@kienocard]

Gotta say, this makes me feel so much better about my own work seeing what's 'normal'

[@jeremywong9207]

Just found this channel and am working on my woodworking. Love these videos and giving great tips. Curious to why solid wood shouldn't be used for bottoms and backs? What should be used instead?

[@graysontownzen9238]

I had my dad do the "Quinn Shake Test" on my dice vault to test the magnets. The top came off (probably because the dice were in there), but I was most impressed that the top took no damage after landing on the table. That thing is solid!

[@Raven11382]

i love Quinn! we need more Quinn!

[@Chachi_Sanchez]

Gauges measures pressure? Gouge is a cut or divot.... Unless im crazy but im pretty sure its with an O

[@franticbass5]

Thank you. This was driving me crazy. Gauges are instruments (or ear piercings). Gouge is correct.

[@katschmidt9755]

Same!!

[@BluePhoenix-pq6cj]

Ideas for the swords- mount them to the wall with a vinyl wormwood logo around them.

[@manikzag]

Why go vinyl? Have each of the different woods form a portion of the shield.

[@bluehooloovo]

Gouges. The word you were looking for on Quinn's list was gouges. Gauges are something completely different.

[@ITSACRITICAL]

When i seen Big Tony walking in the Big Show's theme song from WWE was playing in my head.

[@RoseKindred]

Ian and Doug had some great advice on the box, but why are single wood bottom and back boxes not good? I am self-learning CNC and one of the first tutorials was a dice-box in which the bottom and top are each one piece. Is that because the large surface area of the wood becomes exposed and warp/shrink itself to pieces?

[@volinarsworkshop4818]

It can it depends on how you attach them. They good quality ply one because their bottoms are fully recessed so the sides arent showing and two because the layers are crisscrossed grain which makes them very stable to environmental change. Theres tricks to mitigate the effect but wood moves is a fact of owning such things.

[@WyrmLyfe]

Yes, correct. That's exactly why they said you should stay away from doing that

[@RoseKindred]

@@WyrmLyfe Thank you. Like I said I am self-learning and a novice so that helps. I am assuming there are size limits and such to learn. It was amusing to hear the conversation when one of the first tutorials I am learning is what they said not to do, a 3in. carve out dice box.

[@RoseKindred]

@@volinarsworkshop4818 Thank you for the advice, I did know about wood moving but did not think about thickness or such. One of the first CNC projects I am learning is a 3in. single-piece of wood dice box. Finished down it would be 2in. and 1/2in. cover.

[@RoseKindred]

@@volinarsworkshop4818 Sorry for bugging you again but would you be able to point me somewhere that can help explain the issues? I just spent a few days re-watching CNC videos I saved and none talk about the dangers. Single piece dice trays, flags, boxes, they seem simple enough to make but I do not understand why there are so many videos if the products do not last.

[@jongump4129]

Bobby/JV, Quinn's comments on the turnings are "gouges," not "gauges." Sorry, I'm a bit of a spelling nazi.

[@ainyele]

I was trying to gauge how badly the misspelling was gouging my eyes

[@Blader0808]

I was sitting here contemplating saying something. Then I see your comment. Thank you!

[@r_Flame]

The end song was kind of jarring, but the video as a whole was top notch :)

[@AvaFayIliza]

Yeah, I don't quite get that. If someone wants to send something in for review, but also needs it sent back, why would they Not email, or otherwise contact, Wyrmwood BEFORE sending it, to confirm that WW could be bothered to send it back?

[@corporealghoul]

Because they know they would be told to not send it and they wanted free advertising. Wyrmwood guys would have likely said "okay then dont send use that piece. Send us something we can keep" and then the sender would have to decide if he wanted to pay for advertising or not. If you ask me... the cost of a vault or 2 dice trays is easily worth a quick ad to 68k+ subscribers. That's some shady business practice. I know who I wont buy from.

[@Ratchetdude099]

I love the Quinn summoning!

[@silentbob6158]

LMAO! You guys are like cats. Having more fun with the packing material than the what's in the box.

[@LunarCrystal07]

Why do I find their shop talk so sexy? I know nothing about wood working, but when they're pulling out those shavings and haphazardly identifying them by wood type, I feel a deep sense of fascination with how much knowledge they have in their craft. Sexy? Well, maybe it's just deep admiration. Either way . . .

[@WyrmLyfe]

Nah, you had it right the first time. It's sexy.

I love these reviews and hope people take in your guys critiques seriously. Does Jason have any vids of him making anything by hand? I love watching those processes. My grandad was a hobby wood worker who used to live in basically mud hut/cabin in the Marlborough hills (south isle, NZ) and I would have loved to send you guys some of his stuff as it was mainly handmade but overall very simple, but we only have a few things left so none to spare.

[@WyrmLyfe]

Awww we would love to see some of his work, but we understand. Cherish it 🙌And yes, Jason does have a crafting video on our channel titled, "The crafting of Matt Mercer's DM Screen" You should check it out. It's our most popular video

[@xMRxZEROx]

I just want to say. I completely 100% get why you guys don't want to have to deal with shipping stuff back to customers. But maybe you should have stated this requirement prior to asking people to send shit to you. But I get it. But also, what if someone wants you guys to see a piece they're super proud of? Something that may impress you guys. That epic piece that they slaved over and proudly display in their game room? Of course they're going to want it back. Maybe tell them up front that if they want it back, they need to pay for the shipping themselves. Or send in their stuff with a prelabeled box to send it back? Just a thought. But I love that you guys are doing this. Sucks that I haven't had time to work on any of my new stuff yet. Hopefully you guys will make this a regular segment so I can send some stuff in later.

[@TDGCmote]

I can’t believe that you guys couldn’t stop handling those wood pubes

They're not really "hidden". The quick flashes catch the eye easily; it's just a matter of whether you take the time to pause it (at the exact right moment) or not. If they truly wanted them to be hidden, they would use a fade in/out
