[@TheRedBard]

Such a dope Blacksmithery! Love the fresh forged books and scrolls. Can't wait to see the Wizards Lab!

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Isnt it just. I can't wait either. I think whats shown more than anything is, with imagination you can do practically anything!

[@j.s.matthews2216]

"You chose a blacksmith... so here's a wizard's lab!" What a great intro lol!

[@sciverzero8197]

That random bit of plastic with 50 circular holes in it looks to be the packaging for a 50 round box of small caliber handgun bullets. Those things are in basically every box of ammo so if you know anyone who goes to the range, you can probably ask them if they have some. They come in an array of different sizes, just like the bullets they're used to hold. (the only purpose they serve is to keep them from rattling around freely in a chaotic mess in the box, they serve no practical purpose to the end user).

[@jamesring2569]

It's from a 22 long rifle round box.

[@libhranan]

James is correct, that is the insert in a CCI 22LR ammunition box. There should be piles of them in the trash at any public shooting range in the US, and they may even be available in more restrictive countries, because 22 rimfire is used for Olympic target shooting.

[@jimmd68]

Those of us who knew recognized those .22 inserts immediately!

[@boredom_reduction]

My first thought was "plastic insert for 1000uL micropipette tips!"

[@asafoetidajones8181]

Lol yeah. I did a little "huhWha?" At the thought that someone might not know what that was.

[@pauln6917]

Ah, the Phylactery Forge of Extraplanar souls. The Smithy of the Wrought Wretched Magicks.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

“We are after spectacle through blunt forced trauma, not taste and technique!” Love that intro 😂 And yes, I absolutely know Bugenhagen and that scene. Still amazing and the music is still engrained in memory…. greatest game of all time without any doubt

[@MarkLewis...]

There are far too many trolls on YT as it is Neil... stick to crafting and video making. Your comment, though perfectly free to make was trollish. Allow me to exercise my free speech... and think it's petty or whatever you like Neil. Unsubscribed from your channel.

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

This straight looks like something out of a planescape video game from the 90s

[@WylochsArmory]

Thank you kindly. Precisely my influence.

[@sanjaraejour9632]

That orrery is fantastic! Large ones always make me think of the one in The Dark Crystal, as it was the first one I saw - and that one looks big enough for characters to do gymnastics on. (Wouldn't recommend it though, as with such large moving parts they're liable to lose some extremities to it.)

[@tonygreenfield7820]

There is also the huge one in the first live action Tomb Raider movie.

[@AquamentusZero]

I love watching random things become a tabletop scenery.

[@stsk9360]

I just noticed that this guy is left-handed, and I have been watching obsessively for months.

[@WylochsArmory]

Lulz. So is my wife. And my daughter!

[@thriftminis]

Hey Wyloch! that funky plastic part full of holes is from a box of .22 cal shells! I have one in my junk box too I just have not found a use for mine yet. Good job!

[@skyealloway]

You are always so down to earth, even when you create something fabulous like this. Love seeing the different arrangements at the end.

[@jherazob]

I've had an itch to make an orrery and/or armillary sphere for years (yeah, FF7 too, that and Warcraft 3) despite the fact that i have no real use for it (all my playing is in sci-fi land, and not even RPGs, just wargaming), so taking notes to see if i finally decide to do it :D

[@mm-nt8el]

My favorite part? 100% your storytelling! The minis are amazing and I came to learn how to make them and left with a great new storyline to add to my DnD campaign! Thank you! I'll use it all! Oh and I'm definitely making all this stuff too!!!!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

New Wyloch video?? Damn boys we eatin good tonight 😲 Been thinking of making some appropriately wizardy/lich-related stuff for a themed display stand for my videos so I'll definitely be keeping this in my back pocket. Thanks yet again for the inspiration 😎👍

[@gregmccormack5709]

So many cool scatter ideas, I love the themed builds it turned out great.

[@jacobcampbell3280]

6:12 I have like 70. I immediately started stockpiling these after coming back to church. Haven't found a good use for them yet, but I will. - Crafter's (hoarder) Motto

[@joshbecka6110]

That is a cool looking orary

[@dathanpadgett]

Kind of reminds me of the Dark Crystal

[@ScatteredTerrain]

I voted for Wizard Lab! I’m so pleased you went this direction 😂 This all turned out so well! You described my exact method for making a wine rack with granny grating!!

[@IanaBelleGE.]

Fave overall was definitely the Orrery, while the knickknacks of jars, bottles, etc scavenged from electrical devices is my all time fave hack from u

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

2:05 the funny thing is Fast Corona Test Kits I can get at the library have those kind of trays with all the holes in them hahah

[@KingKharnivore]

I must admit, when I saw the Orrery, my first thought was Cosmo Canyon. Love the work and effort you put into your projects.

[@acerockollaa]

Bugenhagen's town is one of my favorites. This does remind me of his telescope room.

[@melinaz3385]

I love the tour here! and the story at the end! wow! love it! more?

[@shaunhall960]

So much fun! I'm buidling stuff now for an RPG I'm going to run. It's been many years since I've done anything like this. Your videos are really helping me out.

[@ori6282]

Yay,more tiny stuff ! I love this series👍

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Excellent work once again. It all looks fabulous but that Orrery is next level. Cheers!

[@jonbauml225]

The lore bits at the end are a lot of fun. Ever thought about a lore centered video?

[@WylochsArmory]

I've done several. Check out my full Mind Flayer Lair video, for example.

[@scottturner3831]

I liked the blacksmiths forge.

[@thecornishlobster]

Love watching your work, so therapeutic 🧘‍♂️

[@Oliver-qt6hz]

I would love to see a forest/plains tutorial. With trees, dirt roads, rivers and hills.

[@graefx]

Polls be damned I loved this. One of these days I'll start slamming fruit juice for those lids.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I love the orrery, I am doing a 1:18th scale diorama and my wizard has his alchemy lab, an armillary sphere, a telescope, various bones and a scroll rack or two, a medieval desk with a scroll rack integrated, and the quills and wax etc., I have lots of anatomical pictures and maps and charts and alchemical symbols tables, and I really think an orrery would top his "chapel" observatory off perfectly! (Theres a spooky alter downstairs in the main chapel and I even have a pet snake for him and a dragon which will eventually live on and in the chapel rafters. The Fantasy part is great because with magic, you can explain away any historical mistakes. I love the little jugs you made, I only wish they were a wee bit bigger. I do have those beads you showed because, with the addition of quilled paper, they do make lovely urns and amphora.

[@adriandavis3931]

Your videos are why I got back into rpg building. Can't state this enough, you rock!

[@MrCowboy6588]

My favorite build from this video was the one that made me want to engage in KZbin's algorithm to boost your signal, keep up the great work Wyloch!

[@DIYKOM]

I love this room it grabs my imagination

[@Kill2Hard101]

Awesome! I'm making an Orrery next. Great video Wyloch!

[@richardokeeffe8375]

‘If any’. Perfect!

[@DarkKnightCuron]

I love the Crafting, but my favorite content is Wyloch going all audiobook on us. Perfect voice for it.

[@barrylangley8021]

Possibly these vids are the best on the net. I found that some of the materials used can be substituted for foam if they are difficult to find. I can watch Wyloch's vids for hours getting inspiration.

[@TheeSlickShady]

🏆 beauty! I respect the time put in to achieve these creations Thank you Good Sir 🎩

[@NelsonReyesJr]

My dream is to get to this level of mastery. You are awesome!!!

[@americanmaker8608]

I really enjoy this. I’m going to use a lot of this in my build. Thank you for sharing.

[@harlandmountain7998]

Me watching Wyloch build the ring of his orery: "Wouldn't foamboard work better for the middle ring? Just cut it in half and trim enough for the axel..." And if you are looking for an idea for the Forge everyone voted on, here's some ideas: Soul Forge Divine/Infernal forge Flesh Forge (Alchemist, necromancer, Nurgle or Tyranid) Spell Forge Ork Forge (40k) Psi-Forge (Illithids or Eldar)

[@Karlmakesstuff]

That orrery is CLASS! Also got some potion bottle envy XD

[@broompatrol]

Hard to say what I like best. I do enjoy how everything looks so good put together. Thanks for the video

[@alistairmacfadyen1925]

Love the Blacksmith shop, it is very.... different. Loved the bit where you fumbled almost all your baubles.

[@metajock]

Fun piece. Always usable, can't have a wizard's lair without one.

[@nineblackgoats]

Thank you, I'm now swamped with work and itching to build an orrery 😂

[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

Such wonderful consistency. Great work as always!

[@friedrichhack1407]

Awesome build - great ideas I will put to use. Thank you!

[@josray2557]

I can't get enough of this cozy colorful stuff I tells ya.

[@IcsulX]

I appreciate you as a person. Thank you for creating content for us.

[@tomyoung9834]

[@StatsScott]

The scroll case shelf looks really cool! I will have to try that one out.

[@Xenophon122088]

Awesome, from start to finish. 😎

[@sirguy6678]

Amazing! A master crafter at work!

[@BillMakingStuff]

I think about Bugenhagen almost daily.

[@harazhangf5782]

Looks awesome !!! That orrery is impressive. Well done.

[@MrWhite5150Duke]

Amazing as always.

[@zeds.6783]

One would think that people would know by now that polls mean nothing. lol The wizard's lab is excellent. The orrery was an awesome idea and yours looks amazing. FFVII brought a new level of expectation to how good environments would look in video games, even if it wasn't my fav JRPG. Keep up the great work, and I hope the real world job is going well. God bless!

[@Arkie80]

That bit about tye crystal moon made me think of the theme song from The Labyrinth.

[@Logaan777]

Nice, Wizard's laboratory. I voted for that one.

[@maximusdarja]

me: "Ugh, that looks complic... oh, It's Wyloch? Gotta see this."

[@shalarean]

All of it was my favorite!!!!!

[@jakestaples8498]

Great video! I made a few pieces of wizard lab terrain a couple years ago. I will have to dig it out and improve on it

[@billdefranza4927]

I feed the algorithm in the name of Wyloch!

[@sw33n3yto00]

Liked the scroll shelf best. I have a pile of those mystery containers of various sizes in my "fire safe" with little brass "bells".

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

My Moments of Orrery Zen will always be meeting the baelnorn in the Severed Hand in Icewind Dale, and the massive orrery complex in Ultima VII :)

[@benchandler4298]

Your recent Baldur’s Gate videos mean that this orrery reminds me a bit of Icewind Dale. Astrolabe.. whirls… twirls….

[@jamesring2569]

Any body wanting those plastic random square with the round holes.... it's what 22 caliber long rifle bullets come in. If you don't like guns go get the ammo and send it to me and you can keep the plastic bits lol

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Great video!

[@demetrinight5924]

I like the orrery because it reminds me of The Dark Crystal. The shelves of potions and scrolls are great too. Besides a wizards study they could very well be a magic shop or apothecary. I also like to see how you are experimenting with different colors and techniques. And I like how well your dungeon tiles and tavern tiles can be used together.

[@veltabalcere196]

You could use some straws for the scroll rack.

[@CraftNicks]

Super cool!

[@Mixxie67]

My audio expert husband (proprietor of Stereo Discount Center in RI) says if the Denon worked you could probably get $100 because it plays SACDs. Also this s*** is hardcore. It warms my miniature living heart.

[@WylochsArmory]

Yeah maybe for the right buyer. Not many of us in the US using SACD though unfortunately

[@Mixxie67]

@@WylochsArmory yeah, it's no big loss to you if you get plenty of use out of the parts. My husband wasn't exactly tearing his hair out on your behalf. :) He had a long time customer that *loooooved* SACD. He bought so many over the years. But he was a kind of marginal person with mental illness. He was my husband's best customer and biggest annoyance because he called all the time. He would get anxious if he ordered an SACD and it took awhile to come in because it was coming fr Germany or something. My hs husband had a lot of affection for him and they had a monthly breakfast date when the guy got his monthly check. Sadly, he passed away several months ago.

[@dakkaflakkaflame]

I love it!

[@JakobElbaek]

Some .22 ammunition comes in plastic holders that would make a good basis for a scroll rack.

[@mordor-focker]

Ho! Ho! Hooo! Awesome build Nanaki

[@millenniumf1138]

That orrery was a really cool build! It reminded me most of the one from The Dark Crystal, and I might have to make a wizard's laboratory a part of my next campaign just so I have an excuse to craft one of these!

[@MarkCMG]

Thanks for the video! Why is the guy with fire in both hands so close to the scroll rack?!?! 😉

[@bloodvow333]

Never thought of using ammo trays that way

[@benoitdemers1900]

Curves are fun!

[@alimrashid9765]

Those gears ⚙ gold 📝

[@primafacie5029]

Amazing

[@CrookedStaffTerrain]

Very nice (especially the orrery). I've been trying to figure out how to do one of those myself... but spheres are a bit tricky with my weird way of doing things 😅

[@Rejoice1631]

Those plastic pieces that you used for the scroll rack look like the inserts from a box of 22 cal ammo. If they are, awesome, if they aren't, I still believe the ammo box inserts could work as the same thing.

[@secksysequin2580]

You say you're not a sculptor but clay is not the only medium for sculpting. You work wonders with your chosen medium. You've made it by hand, it's sculpted. sculpt /skʌlpt/ verb create or represent (something) by carving, casting, or other shaping techniques. (I'd say cutting and bending counts as a shaping technique)

[@justsoup2460]

Scroll shelving ( screw bit holders ) works

[@FactorySoylent]

Very cool steampunk orrery! I wish you had never apologized for your steampunk tiles video, Wyloch. In fact, I wish you had doubled down in claiming that steampunk is just random gears, pistons and valves stuck onto anything! Pure nonsensical aesthetics! Who's gonna stop us from saying so?! No one, that's who, because everyone knows we're right! Anyway, I'm happy you're so productive with your new style and techniques. I'm looking forward to you bringing this momentum to some sci-fi themed videos on the future.

[@user-vv1bd9dz6j]

Превосходное исполнение. Лайк! От монитора так и веет фэнтези и средневековьем. Если ютуб правильно перевёл титры на русский язык, то планировалось сделать кузницу. А получилось что-то похожее одновременно и на лабораторию алхимика и на кабинет астролога. Excellent performance. Like! From the monitor and blows fantasy and the Middle Ages. If KZbin correctly translated the titles into Russian, it was planned to do the Blacksmith Shop. And it turned out something similar to both the laboratory of an alchemist and the office of an astrologer.

[@the3quartershospital499]

Can I recommend doing a tools of the trade video? You mention many different bits and materials and a comprehensive list would be great.
