DAS air dry clay - amzn.to/3W3rCaD
Other materials can be purchased from your local hardware store:
¼-20 threaded rod
¼-20 nuts
Fender washers for threaded rod - I used 1¼ inch, but would go with 1½ or 1¾ inch if I did this again

Thank you for going through the steps! For some odd reason I always think air-dry materials are quite an investment, since you're almost bound to botch the first batch no matter what: learning from someone else's take is quite important.
You're welcome! You should be able to start over again if you are not happy with your pieces, as long as you stopped before the painting and sealing stages. Videos like this will show you how: ruclips.net/video/emVJDOnNBbk/видео.htmlsi=KlLmXhUsebv33GgL
Looks great!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and tricks of the trade, Bill! =) Kudos from Russia!
A beautiful showcase, along with plenty of good advice on planning, sawing and tinkering! Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. =)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! They are time consuming, but hopefully can help anyone interested in getting into hobby crafting.
Really like the simple yet elegant capstone Bill! Also enjoyed the video information, I use a miter box for my flats and the info about tearing was quite useful, so thanks!
I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, tear out is very common and some hobbyists just ignore it and fix it in post processing. I wanted to show some ways to avoid it in the first place. Especially when working with the small pieces we do, a little chip taken out can turn into a big eyesore.
Maybe I'll bring my gen 1 to boardgame meetups and see if anyone would play.
Can't hurt! If nothing else, it might spark a conversation.
Cool stuff bill! Love your capstones, as usual, but I also really like how you think about storage and other practicalities of your sets. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
