Finally, a static grass process that doesn't involve expensive tools. Excited to give this a go. Thank you.

So glad to inspire!

To sanitize soil or any natural debris you might want in your terrain, you can bake them beforehand. Preheat the oven to 200°F (90⁰C). Spread the soil/branches/twigs out on a baking tray. Heat the soil to an internal temperature of 180°F (80⁰C) and keep it like that for about 30min, (or just keep it in the oven for like...45min?) *MONITOR CLOSELY in case the fire fairy comes to visit.* Then shut off the oven and let cool down to room temperature with soil inside. I'm no scientist, but this has worked for me so far. Don't @ me if your soil comes to life in 3 years. 😬 (Also beware the interesting smell that will likely fill your kitchen for the next few hours... Thanks @The8BitDuke for the added note!)

Things like this are why I absolutely love your presentation. You go above & beyond to educate your audience about the steps you've taken to accomplish your project, with annotated references to where you learned certain techniques & in depth instructions to how to accomplish what you have shown in an incredibly digestible way to the most layman of us all. I can not wait to see how you progress in your career & your business grows. You are going to be an absolute giant in this industry if you just keep doing what you're doing and improve upon the formula as you see fit. Your presentation is already phenomenal & so personable that there's nowhere to go but up in this business. Keep up the phenomenal work & I'm absolutely positive that your dreams will come true.

Not sure why, but the soil and bark I put in caught fire. 10 minutes at 200°F, right after the preheating was done. Spread out over a 15" sheet.

@@digidragon1 Oh no that's crazy! I honestly don't know why it would do that unless there was something in the wood or soil that would catch fire at lower temperatures. And just to confirm it was 200⁰F and not ⁰C? Either way I'm glad you caught it! I'll put in a stronger warning of potential fire in my original comment for others.

I never thought of using a balloon for static grass, what a brilliant idea! I also really admire your modular tile design. Looking forward to more from this channel.

Naa, can't recommend it. Tried it once before, either it does not work at all "at best extremely poorly, or all the grass will be lost on the balloon itself. I hand placed my grass upwards directly into the clue, it was much better and not any less of a hazzle then trying to use a balloon.

These look incredible. And the tips about the natural resources as well as the tea leaves etc were amazing, let along the static grass tip. Superb!

yes i actually wanted to say, this whole video is excellent, the editing and the walkthrough, plus the static electricity i never thought was a great ideia

@raecheldoes

Жыл бұрын

Haha thank you for elaborating! I appreciate the feedback and compliments 😊

The pacing, the editing, the craft - this is an excellent video and I am very glad YT recommended your channel to me today! I also greatly appreciate you placing the sanitization recommended method in the comments, as videos that say "just sanitize it" (or worse, don't mention how essential it is) never helped me find a good method for doing so safely/easily, but it is nice to have some possible instructions in 1 place and by the same person showing the results! (the smell is always fun for those new to doing that....!) Really loved the way you did the wave across the drawing to the tiles themselves, and how you pace the instructions so well. Using a carpenter's square on the Proxxon is a great idea, as I have tried the other fence guides and all that and still have trouble with pushing too hard and making my tiles a little lop sided. I actually almost went with deciding not to do any "tiles" anymore and just big boards, but the modularity (and storage!) would be nice - you've rekindled my interest in making something like this, so thank you!! Keep the great work - subscribed for sure!

Wow, I greatly appreciate the elaborate feedback--it really helps me to know what viewers find helpful and enjoyable in their experience so I can continue to improve/what to continue doing. I'm definitely going to add a note about the smell from soil-sanitizing haha. I admit that getting the tiles to be a perfect 90 degrees can be somewhat tedious and infuriating, especially if it's repeatedly crooked (sigh), but yeah I found the carpenter square helps. One tip I would say is to actually invert how it's lined up against the fence guide, (and to accommodate the extra width of the ruler by calculating your cutting distance from the ruler itself), because it kept wanting to fall before I started by cuts with the heavy overhang, and there's enough to worry about movement-wise as it is. I hope that's useful to you and that you do find success in trying again!

i love how much you make sure you give credit to RP Archives for his great work, while introdusing your own great ideas. Keep up the amazing work!
