In Bill's village lives a sad little boy whose summer time dreams are constantly crushed. Every weekend he runs to the pound shop to buy a water pistol but finds them sold out. In desperation he turns to the squirt bottle section, only to find another empty shelf.
I was the lucky sod who secretly commissioned a piece for my wife. After the video was over, I handed her your note. and she looked quite confused. The I handed her the box and she opened it up. She immediately started weeping. I wish you hadn't put that picture of your dad in there Bill. After we got rid of the picture and she saw the sweet doodlebot, she cried again, but this time tears of joy and amazement. It now has pride of place in her wonder cabinet. Thanks so much Bill! We both adore the little guy!
A very good ep! This feels like the culminating finale of Phase One of the BCU. So much jam packed into this one. Love the finger gun on your favorite bot.
Uncle Bill, this one right here... Mannnn, if I had to pick a single video of yours to be the "evergreen video" on your channel, it would be this one. You covered so much ground, and it was a joy to behold! Also, bigtime RESPECT for all the editing (and I saw those angle changes! ;)) that went into it. Outstanding.
Thank very much mate! I really appreciate it. Every video I see of yours makes me want to make a better video anyway so some of the credit goes to you!
Hey Crafsman, love all y'all do, did you see that bit at 2:24? And Bill, first video I've seen. Instant sub, keep em coming, and I'm gonna wander through your other vids. Cheers.
It's crazy how the primer just absolutely unifies the whole thing when it's done. That one solid color just makes the entire thing look like a solid piece. It's incredible
I have a paperclip tatoo on my arm cause I used to make robots outta paperclips, pens, erasers any thing i could find in the school halls. Love these doodle bot guys
Firstly, I just love watching people make little robots. Doodling is my favorite form of drawing, and you my friend have now introduced those two things into one beautiful doodlebot thing. I am, forever in your debt, oh mighty one. Secondly, this video is simply fantastic! A calm quite voice, golden comedy, A grade editing, and a man that looks like Obi Wan? What's not to love! I'm going to have to try and make some of those doodlebots.
this is the kind of video i was looking for when i found your channel, someone showing a basic guide to stick trash and make it look good... 200% worth the wait, and the bots look great, now i demand a #doodlebot challenge, the comunity needs it bill...
A tip I've learned from many RUclips mini painters about dry brushing: use a slightly damp brush, and wipe your paint off on something that's not absorbent. That keeps the paint from getting chalky.
Honestly these really look like something you'd see in a retro-sci-fi setting like Fallout or something. The one with the treads is definitely the best of the bunch.
So I've been meaning to tell youu that I am also obsessed with glue and pow. Thought I was the only one, and seeing you do that the first couple times really solidified my sub to you back then. I saw some a hole a long time ago that said that's how the military fixed scratches and dings in helicopter paint. Then you can sand it and paint it. You knows. I literally have glued things to my car this way and it really works. bills the best
This type of stuff kept me busy when I was very young. obviously incomparable to your robots, but I was handy with wires back then, with the spiral parts of notebooks mostly. I did robots and robot arms for broken toys, replacement head, endlessly enjoyable toys for a poor kid, and it was so much fun. I missed those good ol days, I am reminded by it with your work. Thanks for sharing em!
Im always amazed at how good your bead bots come out, i tried doing mine and after about 15 trials I gave up on making their claw/hand thingies so there is just the torso and legs. Love your humour and good to see you back!
Watched several of your videos and you have become one of my favorite content creators on RUclips. Thank you for your work. Everything about you is awesome. I absolutely love all your creations. Cheers!
Never thought about doing any of this with junk. My goodness, junk and super glue. Really brilliant. Thanks for the inspiration, excellent models and editing!
I really like these builds. I think of all the potential robots I've not given a chance at life to by throwing away all my junk. I feel ashamed. Love the work you put into your videos. Thanks for the great content.
These are all brilliant. I've been a found object robot artist for 7 years now. I work in old metal junk parts but here recently, I've become intrigued by kit bashing and scratch-building with plastic parts, etc. I find it highly fascinating and Bill's channel is the best.
This is one of my favorite episodes you've done, I love kitbashing and this kind of stuff makes me want to start kitbashing on my channel to share my builds. Thank you for being an inspiration.
I know people have already said this, but I think this is my favorite episode you've done yet, all the great info in one place! Super super well done production-wise all around as well! And the bots turned out so lovely and full of character as always~
Thank god I have found you, can’t cope with any more Americans putting oil washes over everything and building with EPS foam. My sanity thanks you. New subscriber. Don’t change the format it’s like listening to a best friend chat to you about his hobby. Top job sir!
For those wondering how Uncle Bill glues together plastics 3:44 The next tip, are the bits, the tips of the bits, bits from the tip…yeah this one 5:31 Putting together your bits 7:09 Get your rivets together 9:34 Some angle box for miter to do some cutting, like in 4…5…45… 12:16 Get some nice tunes out from a go’looking bits box 16:41 Get some good foam from EVA 19:44 Greble…Greeble? 23:17 Now, a little secret. Bill already made the tags for all of this, they are in the description part. But, if you skip that part and go straight for the comments here you go. Also, didn’t know what to right. Cuz Bi.., sorry, Uncle Bill said to like, subscribe and I did. So…here’s my comment I guess. Na, but seriously awesome video. I finally found the purpose for all the bits I used to get from underneath the racks, clothes racks in stores. I knew there wasn’t anything weird or wrong with me…
These are next level. So good. Might as well trash all your old bots cause they suck now. Just huck em in a paper shredder until it breaks and then set it on fire. Good job btw
**O** This is my face after I saw your "Heat Gun + Foam" trick......I have never seen this technique before and my life is changed! I don't have much access to good XPS foam where I live, but I can get that kinda cheap foam easily at the store. Mind. BLOWN.
Got turned on to your channel after watching the Pod Racing builds from the other channels. Next thing I know I am binge watching your videos from the oldest onwards. This is my favorite episode so far. Many great jokes, loved the doodlebots, the humor, the editing, music and mostly your creativity.
I'm not commenting just for the algorithm... no, I'm not: I love this content!!! This channel is the best!!! More! More! More! I hope Ultron is listening
Placeholder comment to induce RUclips algorithm to treat Bill with a modicum of respect. Welcome back. Nice to have you back at it. #doodlebots well done. Lots of great ideas and tips.
My new favorite channel I came over from ten hundred n I’m sticking around I used to build stuff like this in high school might teach my daughter how n she’s wants t watch your videos too to 2 new subs thanks for sharing 😮
im gonna give a advice to anyone watching this video. Im a professional concept artist, i draw stuff that doesnt exist everyday. i have 5 years in the game industry working everyday creating new things. This skill of seeing things and using itss shapes and textures to create something new is a really , really hard skill that even i, with a bigger visual library than 99% of the world still cant do as well as bill. If you feel your creations suck, dont worry, keep creating, inventing and trying stuff, it takes time and its not a regular thing to do.
That 2nd build definitely started with huge vibes of the Predator ships from the 2010 Aliens vs. Predator game. Segmented top, streamlined jagged shape, etc. Pretty underrated game honestly, definitely satisfies a fan of either or both franchises. Final build also looks a lot like a boss from a Metal Slug game (can't remember the specific title or boss, sorry), except less square and way more... phallic...
Terrific stuff. Quite fond of these wire armature trash bots and their smaller 28mm beadbot cousins you've done previously. Good use of wonkiness, asymmetry and gritty paint work. I guess I'll have to spend $10 on glue, beads and primer this weekend.
What an awesome collection of beadbots and I love the big underbites you add on some of them sort of like they're futuristic yet unevolved 😄 It's probably a good job you're selling these. Your favourite looks like a trouble maker, giving orders and getting ready to incite the robo-masses into a revolution against their witch handed overlord 😱
Dude, I've just found your page from rambling through RUclips and I bloody love it! I think I could listen to you ramble for ages and not only that, I've done all three things! Liked, commented and subscribed 🤌🏻
I'm not a scientist, but I'm pretty sure the reason that spray bottle pieces make great shapes to start off with is because they're ergonomic which means they're more organic than other plastic things, giving you more natural curves you can build off of.
Don’t know why this was recommended to me but this is great! I used to do stuff like this all the time as a kid before I became bitter and imagination withered… 20 years on I still have one I made somewhere - I think it was made from the bits inside one of those roll-on Tippex things… maybe I’ll have to dig it out again 😆
Turned on the notification bell cause despite spying on me constantly RUclips clearly doesn’t know me well enough to put these bangers vids in front of me on a timely basis

Glad I made your wife cry... instead of mine for a change.

Oh, that before/after primer montage! Always a treat!
honestly, that primer coat is just magic. Great work - nice editing!
The important thing, Bill, is that you made a video that you felt was good enough. I'm sure you put in a lot of hard work.

Best junk handling I've seen in a long time
30:38 "should probably let you get off now" - that's what your dad said
There is so much heart, kindness and goodness in this frogbots you built, I literally cant even, bro!
I love it!
Honestly these really look like something you'd see in a retro-sci-fi setting like Fallout or something.
The one with the treads is definitely the best of the bunch.

Do iit
I'd suffice if you made the big landwalker with lights though

Such a joy watching all your videos, the creativity and skill is strong in you. Do thank your brother, Daniel, for sending me your way.
I will not...
I’m absolutely obsessed with this channel. You’re hilarious. It really brightens my day
So many ideas. I might have to do some more digital bots. After I did the first I see why you love them.
I can't decide whether the tips, the Death Valley level dry humor, or the lore is my favorite part.
Im always amazed at how good your bead bots come out, i tried doing mine and after about 15 trials I gave up on making their claw/hand thingies so there is just the torso and legs. Love your humour and good to see you back!

Sir, you have inspired me. I've already collected a nice pile of stuff and will turn it into a thing. Thank you.
Those doodlebots are really neat looking. The painting looks great and gives them a nice worn finish.
Nice to see you back building stuff Bill
Thank you very much mate!
Not only is this episode everything I've been looking for, but that font is EXCELLENT!
I love all those doodlebots, especially the first little guy .. an image of him would look cool on a t-shirt.

Thanks Bill, now I know what I gonna do with my life.
Hello , I am French . Your creations are very good ! I love your imagination 😊
This is such a charming and clever art form - I never thought of it before!
I enjoy your rambling
the pacing and quirkiness of your videos is amazing!
How have I only just found this? My new favourite channel.
Fantastic video and tips! Love the little crafsman toy cameo! 😁
For rivets I use cheap nail polish and just dab them on. i think it looks the best.
These are next level. So good. Might as well trash all your old bots cause they suck now. Just huck em in a paper shredder until it breaks and then set it on fire. Good job btw
I love the effort you put into these.
No idea why I'm watching though, but the videos are quite satisfying along with the ASMR naration.
Love the creativity and rambling. Can't help but hear Korg from Thor: Ragnarok. Not that it's a bad thing.
I came here for the spray bottle parts, I was not disappointed! Fantastic video as always, really enjoyed this one!
