Yeah son, I spent a boatload of money on art school, and then I made a half hour course on skillshare that was like half a semester of bookbinding knowledge. That's like $10,000 of knowledge for $10. I have long wondered, since graduating, if college is even a necessity in this age given that information is readily accessible if you go looking for it. (Though sometimes you need structured learning like in a school setting to even know that things exist so it's not like school is a bad thing, just a different thing.)

This channel is literally just... bootleg crafts. Which is great since craft supplies are expensive.

I agree with you so much! A couple years ago, most crafting channels made more complex things like bookbinding, knitting, weaving etc. But in recent years, those channels have either stopped uploading or changed to be as simple as the new and popular craft channels that just do things like slime and squishies. I'm so glad there's a channel like you that makes good quality videos and isn't conforming to the norms of youtube craft channels, and is doing things like weaving and enamel pins!

I really appreciate that you re-purposed Daria's piece. I mean, it's a very niche'd taste in art, but like you said; She did put 4 years of her time into making that. Mad respect for your show of compassion on that. On another note, you're so incredibly talented, you make every project look like such a breeze. I can think of at least a million ways on how I'd probably fuck this all up. Stay dope!

Nice video! My art class just finished a weaving unit so here are some of my tips! - You dont need the notched (or in this case nails) loom; you can simply wrap the warp in a figure eight shape around any frame! and then you need to make sure to tighten it a lot (which also creates little divets in the frame from where the warp was tightened). This method is helpful for beginners that might not want to make the investment into a loom; you can just use any empty frame. Do note that you do have the possibility of the sides coming in if you pull on the strings tight while weaving. (also you need to twine the warp strings) -there are many other types of weaving techniques than just over under; my favorite is the Soumak weave; its more time consuming but very pretty! -I would recommend when you start a new piece of yarn, don't start at the edge of the weaving: start in the middle so you wont be able to see the loose threads -this might just be a personal preference but I like to put some tassels at the beginning of my weaving; the same method as in this video but I like to use 3 strings per tassel to create a larger tassel (and you can put them in the middle of the weaving too and cut them down); I recommend to wrap the yarn around a book for large tassels and then cut them off for all even lengths of string and if you want shorter tassels, I like to wrap it around my phone then cut it I hope these tips help people and if you have any questions about these tips, my ig is @_yo_its_lo

I just wanna say this is one of the most comprehensive lessons I've seen yet on how to frame weave. Thank you so much!! This is so cool

Just found this channel on a Facebook ad with a snippet of your hydro dipping project… it's already become my absolute favorite channel. Thank you for making all of these crafts simple tips (a little less daunting or complicated) and achievable for a lot of people. Often times I want to learn something new, but it seems so complicated, expensive, and time consuming that I just put it on my wish list…Thank you for your creative style. And thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's also really awesome to see a man doing a lot of these different types of art projects. Break the stereotypes.

This is the first video I've found early enough to think "huh, I could actually get that skillshare deal", so I just signed up. Love the video, love the eye weave. Have you tried a peg loom for knitting? I made a massive one once by drilling holes into a plank then gluing premade joining dowels into the holes. Then I made tshirt strips and joined them into yarn. To knit you wrap the yarn around the peg row by row, each row lifting the bottom loop over the top. In the end the thing I made was so heavy and had a really loose weave; it was less like a cosy blanket and more like a gladiator net!

If you’re ever interested in giving it another shot, your pegs were probably too far apart or you were using yarn that’s too thin. It’s awesome as hell that you made a loom yourself though, seems like it took a lot of effort. Looms are pretty cheap though in my experience, you should definitely give it a shot! Knitting is super rewarding, at least to me :)

@RuRaynor

@@tylerburney8576 Moved house and the original got destroyed but I'm up for trying again. Using the premade joining dowels was super easy, you just drill a hole and stick them in. I think my pegs were definitely a little too far apart, but this did make it very easy to use with just your fingers rather than having to find a crochet hook every time. Next time I'll put them closer together and perhaps use multiple strands of regular knitting yarn which has more stretch. Could make some nice rugs this way.

Is there any craft this man has not mastered? 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

tbh it's real refreshing to see someone doing this who's not only a dude, but focusing more on pattern + design than they focus on texture when weaving. thanks for this, keep it uuuup!

Eyeeeeee see you took your time creating this master piece!

Finally, a great weaving tutorial, that shown correct techniques. With the other loom with a 4 epi, when you double your warp to make it 8epi weave a header on the top and bottom. A header uses you’re warp thread and weave three rows or picks, this will evenly distributed your warp. Another great place to learn is to look for a local weaving guild. They love to help new weavers. Keep weaving and join us in our yarny heaven.

Your channel is basically the entire art school. Great stuff

one of my favorite things about this channel is how you take us along the process of trial & error with you. it’s incredibly helpful and way more useful than if u just showed the perfect final version. mistakes are the best teacher.

I LOVE how you include footage of examples, and you doing stuff to illustrate a point--like the paper weaving at the beginning, and the stretchy warp thread example. That's some above-and-beyond teaching shit that will really, really help people learn

As someone who weaves a lot, I can appreciate all of the time and effort that you put in that eye piece! Wow! Look into a rigid heddle loom for making larger (but less detailed) pieces in half the time.

A little tip for designs in your weave: put your design under the strings and mark dots on the strings with a marker, then put it out and start your weave. That way is easier to control the size of the figures you're working on. Great video!!
