Nice 👍

[@prunabluepepper]

Please next time show the whole bookshelf as one of the glamour shots. Maybe it is feasible to have your camera for the glamour shots 'stand' on a table/shelf, and you slide it left and right? That way you might be able to get a more steady shot? Not sure, but worth a try.

[@D0S81]

its amazing how much your style has changed in just a year since this video, im kinda curious now and may go back to check out your older stuff. thats cool right? i kinda feel like im asking to go through your bookmarks.

Butter is a privilege 🤣

These videos really confirm my theory that EVERY child needs a dollhouse! My son had one when he was little and it was such a wonderful way to express his imagination. Is this not just the Big Boy’s version of that!?! It’s absolutely glorious. Your attention to detail makes for such a rich environment. Thanks for sharing.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I think everything I do is the big boys version of dollhouse and action figures.

Omg Yess. I get my dad to hel me make all these things. Not as cool tho. Amazing

Macaroni and stir-sticks. The bane of first-world crafting. Lol. Probably the only time I miss soviet Russia. If you wanted wood, you’d go collect it in the forest, in winter, all alone, in the dark… lol

[@stickyfootgecko9882]

This was a "couldn't sleep" find and what a treasure!! I personally can't understand having a gap big enough in a book case for a book nook... mine are packed 2 deep and all directions...bookalanches are common. But I need to buy another bookcase and make my skyrim fan hubby one of these... your work and commentary was fantastic. Totally subscribed!

[@smileysatanson3404]

i mean thats what makes these kind of vids fun honestly

[@allsubstance]

I don't even play Skyrim, but I think this is an epic booknook! I love that you reshaped the roof to fit the bedroom shape. I think all your hard work paid off; it looks amazing!

[@KatieoftheNight]

For some reason my subtitles were showing up in German, so from now on I'm calling Breezehome "Brisenhaus". I loved this. Brisenhaus is where I go in my mind when I can't fall asleep. I LOVE seeing it brought to life like this. Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Oh no! I must have put the wrong subtitle file in. Which language should it have been? Though, to be fair it does sound like a pretty happy accident

[@ruthiewitter569]

“You gotta start somewhere” 14:49 That really meant a lot to me, like deeply. I’m trying to start making these sort of projects (currently working on your calcifer diorama for a friend for Christmas!) and something about the way you turned the slight joke of “hmm maybe I make trash pieces” to “that’s ok it’s better to try than not to and then learn” encouraged me immensely. Tysm.

[@mistac5050]

This came out fantastic! The potion bottles were amazing! Loving your content and your narration is very entertaining. And you passed 1,000 subs!

[@ThorneyRose]

I for one, very much appreciated that you did this without one of those Hotwire cutters or any other fancy tools (love your little t-square spirit level ruler gadget tho!). Awesome build. Thank you for sharing.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thanks! I like the idea of making things that someone else can recreate themselves without having to spend a fortune on tools. That being said, maaan, sometimes I would kill to have a hotwire cutter or a 3d printer!

[@emmas607]

And if the inhabitants lose all their teaspoons, they can use their roof shingles to stir their coffee! Perfect!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

As long as the coffee cups are very, very wee.

[@howardtreesong4860]

That is just straight-up fantastic! What a beautiful idea. I’ve never thought of putting things between my books or that a book nook is even a thing, but I love it. I can’t make things like that, because I have no patience, but I definitely like the idea behind it. Kudos to you. Also: you have a fantastic taste in books and some of those I have myself!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Cheers! Book nooks are something I've only recently started 'making' but I've been a big fan for a while. I love those big, full wall bookshelves, and having tiny scenes and worlds between the books is a fun little surprise!

[@carrie4910]

I’m blown away, this is freaking awesome! Well worth the coffee stir stick overload, painty fingers and frustration with all the repetition. Oh man single shingle laying 😝 worth it though looks great!

The commentary on the furniture situation gives me LIFE

[@graciemay3605]

I've just started playing Skyrim again after a few years (I have to admit Todd got me with the anniversary update). I think this is my favourite builds you've ever done and might well have been the first video of yours I saw. I think I've watched and re-watched this video about 4 times now xD but as soon as I started playing again that I wanted to come back and watch the majesty that is this build. this video and your channel as a whole have really inspired me to venture into the terrain sections of my local hobby shops. I even ended up making a little miniature/diorama for one of my uni projects xD (I can only blame my lecturer, he was joking about me making a miniature set...I was not. xD I really hope you make more Skyrim builds in the future, though I understand if this was enough Skyrim building (and stir sticks) for one lifetime xD

[@rosenbridge7838]

The roof tiles were totally worth it! Really shows your attention to detail! And sells the illusion!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thanks! They were a pain, but I'm glad I chose to do them.

[@willowmasquerade2107]

one of my favorite things about these videos is that you dont use a lot of fancy tools, and it feels tangible for someone starting out to watch your videos and get a good idea for what they can try to do. Not that I would blame anyone for using 3d printers or expensive tools, its just nice to see such a down to earth craftsman, who's honest about the process and doesnt mislead with video editing out hiccups along the way. that being said even if you get fancy tools it wont make your videos any less fascinating and entertaining to watch

[@yourlove-bug9451]

It took me over an hour with internet issues to watch this whole thing (I had to restart things multiple times) by the time I was mostly finished I was going to give you grief about the trip hazard floors, and then: BANG!!! "It's a book nook dummy"! Really nice Job! Looks great!

You've got a great sense of humour during your narration! I also appreciate that you explain what materials and methods you used and even some of the things you might have avoided. I was going to use "an arrow to the knee" reference but someone already beat me to it in the comments. You may have noticed a lack of sweet rolls, lock boxes and sacks of gold at the end of your build. Unbeknownst to you I stole them all with my Stealth 100, peerless lockpocking skills and enchanted garb. Sorry old habits die hard, I've already pawned them off or invested in various towns so don't expect any of it back...Great job though!
