Game of Thrones Book Nook [The Wall and a Functioning Gate]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We're back with another book nook, only this time it's The Wall from Game of Thrones, complete with a fully functioning gate! There's a million and one Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings book nooks, but there don't seem to be any from a Song of Ice and Fire, so I aim to fix that!

Can believe how much this channel has grown. Didnt realize when you made this you were on the quest for 1k...look at you now!
I love your "We just gon do it and see how it goes" approach. The highly planned out, sketched out, accurately measured projects of other creators are impressive, but also friggin' intimidating for me, as I neither have the skills nor the math brains nor the patience for meticulous thinking-ahead. Feels good to see your projects turn out this awesome from eyeballing some stir sticks and vinyl floor tiles.

Well then you'll be in for a treat if you hang around. I'm not really a 'guy with a plan' so to speak. More a 'guy with a bunch of foam, some glue, and a general idea'.
Watching you talk about the 1000 subs mark as you're steadily approaching 1 million, love to see the humble beginnings and the consistency in the humor
It's only been 21months since 500 & now on August '22 your at 770 Thousand!!! I've only come aboard about 2months ago & am working on my Second binge watch!I know I don't have a life, really I don't. But I get great enjoyment from watching KZread videos & Yours is at the top of my list!💝
I have been working on mine forever...thanks for the motivation to finish it. The Japanese tool you used is amazing.

Right on! Glad you got some motivation out of this one!
I love seeing your 77k subs after hearing you're excitement of approaching 1k 😊
The tiny wood plane! 😍 I freaking love your videos! Thank you!
Really nice job, the snow, the door, the side wall lights...it all turned out great!
"Up to 1000 subscribers..." I'm so glad he made it... 😁👍
i am really into bookooks lately. Glad to have found this..

I'm glad you found it too--stay a while, have a look around! See if there's anything else that tickles your fancy!
Really cool, only thing would be to add the dirty snow to in front of the gate, and I honestly don't think it's too brown :)
Fantastic, the gate is very gateish 😅 Thanku cheers Kaz from Oz 😃
I love watching your videos! Not only do I learn a frickin hecky ton, but you're so straightforward and honest about your process. It is absolutely refreshing, and your results are stunning!
I’ve been binging your videos and love them! Even shared your “isopropyl alcohol and modge podge” trick with someone today🙌🏻
It looks good..the "mud" is a nice touch and good thinking on that..good eye for detail.. Maybe you can spray clear coat over the blue like you did the water in the Godzilla lamp. That might make it look more "icy"...
great stuff, I love your sense of humor
Really loved this one!

Dude, these are incredible! It's cool to see you recreate/create such iconic scenes. My favorite, so far, was the Stormlight Archives book nook with God of War a close second.

I really love this. Oh my goodness 😳 😍
Turned out pretty cool, I'd really like to see a "Crypts of Winterfell" book nook.
Amazing
i find your channel one week ago.... and i must say i really really like theese thiny nerdy things you do. i like to see your passion for theese things and i want to do it like you...:)
Awesome!
very very good work!
So dang cool dude. 30k views isn’t enough for this amazing art. Keep it up.
really cool. i think it would be fun if you did an infinity mirror technique to this to make the tunnel look longer. i think it would be an easy add on
Awesome.
Dude, bad advice! I outran the barista, but I think he knows where I live now. On a serious note though, Good Book Nook! Thanks for sharing this one with us. :)
Dark black. 🤣 Wonderful book nook!
Neat work! one of my fave book nook so far, you did a really good job on it :) 💜

Thanks! I wasn't super excited about this, but I think it's because it didn't feel finished--there were too many places that needed a final touch up. Something to keep in mind for the next time!

Cool😃
That epic Sum41 music
I think you don't see GoT book nooks is because the current trend started more or less at some point after S8 aired. You could see GoT content and references freaking everywhere, then S8 aired and it just vanished, it singlehandedly killed all interest on the series, i've seen people actually get annoyed when it's mentioned. Then book nooks exploded in popularity and it was too late for GoT. Too bad, i hope G.R.R.M. finishes the books and we might see the end as it should have been and it might bring back interest to it. Very nice job though! Very good ambience!

Did you really only have 500 subs a year ago?? Holy cows I hope my channel takes off like that! Guess I better start kicking more butt, maybe not leave my editing for the night before my video comes out. 😅 I love all of your videos! They're a huge inspiration to me artistically and video-graph-i-calllly...?? Thank you!
You should try a coping saw to try cutting that round spot outta the foam, until you get a hot saw or whatever you call the foam knifes

I love in the UK, and I get a lot of my planks of wood from Hobbies.co.uk. They've got a great selection of thicknesses and materials. It's a great option if you, like me, don't have the equipment to easily rip and plane the larger boards.

Where did you get the book nook frame?
What micro leds did you use? All I can find is sets with 25-50 lights.
Hey this is so awesome, great video. Would you mind sharing your measurements for the frame?
@NorthoftheBorder

Sure! It's roughly 11cm wide x 20cm tall x 24 cm deep. It's a good size if you don't want to worry about getting too small with the details, but it will take up a decent amount of space on the book shelf!

I make them all myself now, since it lets me really customize the size, but I bought my bre-built ones from RTFARTY on Etsy (www.etsy.com/uk/shop/RTFARTY)--great quality and totally recommend them if you haven't got space/tools to make your own!

Are booknooks done to death? I don't see many... have you seen any N. K. Jemisin based ones? Neil Gaiman? Heck, Philip Pullman?
1k subscribers. Wow
When will your Malazan book nook be ready?
You totally should upload the entire process in some kind of weird ASMR thing.
I really love your videos especially this one. But the ground looks like a nights watch crackhead had the diarrhea of his life all over the tunnel
