Living Moss Brick (Satisfying and Relaxing Build)

[@SerpaDesign]

I had so much fun making this project and I think the result looks incredible. I can only imagine what it will look like in a few months. Check out the playlist linked below for more builds like this. kzbin.info/aero/PLGPT1t4CqpfiCDo--iila7n1ha3f6TF3W

[@FinehomesofNewHampshire]

Thanks Tanner!!

[@aaryansingh8996]

Nice video, Bob moss

[@jaredpowell4750]

How do you come up with these ideas

[@earthIing01]

Hey Tanner nice video. I was asking that how do you get that glue off of your hands? (13:37) I recently built an aquarium and I struggled so hard to rub that silicon glue off of my fingers!

[@alexanderballance2996]

I liked the unique video style for this one. Great job!

[@anujchandkapoor]

Beautiful. Inspiring. I would love to see this again after it naturally ages after 6-8months later. Please can you do a follow up video. This is soo beautiful.

[@chesterfield9682]

Agreed!

And here I was thinking he was just going to stack bricks up and use moss as morter. Well done sir

[@thespoiledtexan3904]

I was coming to say the same think 😂

[@arjumandsaeed6058]

If you think so ... you're new to the channel 😎

[@Starlingahn]

It was this comment that made me go ‘well okay then guess I gotta watch this whole video now’

[@ruhsexperimentsgliesperimentid]

The same... 😅😅😅

[@EkkoMr]

But he did nothing else rly

[@juliancoulden1753]

This young man is incredibly meticulous and diligent in everything he does. His workshop and bench is as organised and clean as an operating theatre! It seems there is nothing he can’t make or do! The care he shows for his tools, equipment, his project and the artistry in dressing this feature is truly impressive. He’s a natural!

[@veramae4098]

Except when he started cutting hose, barehanded. I feared for his fingers. Should have done the cutting on the work bench.

[@krystalbel1417]

While I agree, he did also carve into his desk several times with the exacto lol

[@BohoStitcher]

@@krystalbel1417 if you’re referring to when he cut the PVC sheet, that’s a utility knife, and he was at his workbench. That’s what workbenches are for! 😊😊

[@BohoStitcher]

This is why my husband and I love watching his videos. His attention to detail is outstanding!!! I’ll bet his teachers LOVED him! LOL I think my favorite thing about Tanner’s work is that in the front of his mind is always what’s best for the animal and what will make it happy, healthy, and thrive. You have to respect that!

[@XionicAlex]

I'm actually a big fan of this style of editing. I love the energetic builds you do as well, but its nice having the calm video with no narration.

[@BohoStitcher]

It’s definitely an interesting switch once in awhile, but I always appreciate his explanations about what he’s working on and how he decided on it, the materials, plants, and whichever livestock he’s using.

[@sonic32098]

True asmr!!

[@MsBublz237]

This is the Bob Moss-iest video yet! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the make process in this laid back way. Keep up the wonderful work, Tanner!

[@jmahonatam]

HAHAH A Bob Moss, he's got his new ASMR channel name picked out already

[@jeetjoshi3085]

Bob moss FTW

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Mate. Maaaaate. Just outstanding. I WANT IT!!! My only teeny, tiny issue is the plastic tub, I think it would look even better if it were painted black. Or any colour really, just to disguise the fact it's a plastic tub really. But the bricks - genius pal. I love it. Big love from a horrible, wet Scotland.

[@swat486]

I was thinking a shallow glass tank and add good fish. Would remind me of the gold fish living in the abandon building

[@fishmanc5357]

@@swat486 Yh I remember seeing that. This one is like a diorama. It's awesome.

[@dustinthornton5356]

I was thinking the same. But with pebbles so he can still add the moss on top.

[@amandakelley1665]

I was thinking a square terracotta planter

[@christophersavill4785]

Gently lit would look amazing

[@666Naja]

The water dripping is just the perfect sound

[@sarahawesomesauce3681]

I'm eye-ballin' the small stack of bricks in my yard and seriously contemplating a trip to the hardware store. I love all of your builds, but glass cutting and custom building terrariums is a bit intimidating. I love that you also give us small, pre-made terrarium ideas as well as cool projects like this! You're the best, Tanner!

[@carpediem.9]

The perfect moss bricks sandwich ^^ would love to see this after several months again :)

[@katynosework]

My favorite by far! I was actually moved to tears by the memories flooding my mind of my childhood in England. The red brick, moss, ivy, and simulated rain are like a time warp into my past. Thank you Tanner for the brilliant idea and creativity.

[@timpfister8396]

It´s funny that he wrote 'Satisfying and Relaxing Build' in the title, even though each of his videos is relaxing and satisfying to watch. :D

[@amandakelley1665]

When he titles them Satisfying and Relaxing he means that he isn’t going to do any kind of commentary.

[@demoncleanersmith9403]

Idk. I got quite edgy when he kept retrimming tubing @ 7:20ish

[@Elviloh]

Algorithm.

[@creeperconner3156]

My mans does not even need to put it in the title for it to be satisfying

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

just cutting the bricks will drive me hysterical !

[@madelinpudsey2421]

Serpadesign just won the heart of the cottagecore movement

[@georgecunningham9175]

I can not even begin to express my gratitude for this inspiration. The idea, in its "complex simplicity" will fulfill so many needs and desires within my capabilities, limitations, and financial considerations. While I have always been an admirer of your talents, this example is enthralling. "Thank you" is not enough - no amount of gushing and fawning would be enough to give voice to my very sincere gratitude. Be assured that I will acknowledge the inspiration for what I feel will become an admired addition to my home and lifestyle. So, in closing - THANK YOU!!

[@vivariumpassion9677]

I see this happening out in nature so I'm so happy you replicated it.

[@millycarmichael9331]

'nature' (or what I prefer to call 'life') doesn't need superglue, plastic pipe, polystyrene boards, electric pumps and silicone sealant . It's very pretty and meticulously created but not actually a replication of nature and I feel very sad to see all the comments here that suggest it is. I hope it inspires people to go out and look for this in natural spaces and to do all they can to keep those places alive and healthy too.

[@maneskinned]

@@millycarmichael9331 🙄

[@shadowscythes]

@@millycarmichael9331 While this is true, just cause it doesn't happen exactly the same way as nature doesn't mean it isn't a replication of it, you could say it's an attempt at recreating it to the best degree possible.

[@cjvilleneuve1566]

Your build and idea and the way it come together are majestic , i trully love your work man, plus you love moss too,, i dont know anyone else who love moss .

[@milanzelich585]

Can an ASMR build become a thing? It needs to be. This was so relaxing. Cheers to you

[@DraconisMarchVII]

This is as close as it's going to get without devolving into ASMR.

[@christopherhunt1887]

One of my favorite designs. Simple. Quiet. Mossy. Right on.

Who can take 4 bricks, silicone, and other various odds and ends, plus a few plants and turn them into a stunning work of living art.... Tanner can, that's who!!!

Tanya I appreciated the camera angles so much. I realise the work to move (&remember to) is hard so thank you. It was so good though I did nearly fall asleep a couple of times but that’s cause it’s relaxing & I’m tired. I loved it. I’d love to soo soothing like that in sandstone.. 👍

[@nieldanix13]

I created my first terrarium last month. It's nowhere compared to the kind of stuffs you make. But I wanna thank you for being such an inspiration. Hopefully, I'll be able to create more. Thank you, Tanner. Much love from the Philippines.

[@Dreshanda]

I really enjoyed the ASMR of you playing with the sphagnum moss while it was rehydrating. So satisfying.

I could not figure out what was SO satisfying about watching your videos like this.... then I just realized it... you're so calm. completely in your element and not RUSHING anything. just letting the process happen. Relaxed. It does that to me. Relaxing. calming. I rather enjoy your videos. all of them.

[@williammontano7854]

This would be so cool, when I spent time in Virginia I saw walls like this in old Petersburg and I think it'd be so neat to see a bioactive terrarium with this as the entire backdrop/scape and have it be for a corn snake in a abandoned building

This is absolutely my most favourite of any that you have done. If I had this I would be so honoured to have it in my home as my most coveted and prized possession, after my dog of course!
