Making D&D Furniture with MAGNETIC Accessories Tavern Terrain for DnD!

- Modular D&D Furniture that can be customized for where you place it. Scatter terrain, accessories, tavern terrain. Call it what you will, but this stuff adds soul to a room. Problem is, it only really works best with something on it, so you have to remake both the furniture and accessories for every new room type.
As usual, magnets solve many problems! Every accessory in this can be placed in multiple places or removed entirely, and I have a ton more accessories and furniture pieces planned for the future that these pieces will be able to interact with.

An easier method might be to glue a thin sheet of steel over most of the table, then glue a tablecloth over it to hide it, and have all the magnets in the tabletop items.
Firstly, awesome! Lindybeige is commenting on my video!
'British officers don't duck!'
Secondly, I did try something similar with the thin metal sheet from a magnetic car phone holder, but aside from being unable to find a reasonably cheap source of magnetic sheet material I could actually cut to the right size without more specialist tools (metalwork not so much my thing), I also wanted the tutorial to be easy enough for newcomers to use without being intimidated!
As for the tablecloth, I'd probably place the metal sheet under the table so it was hidden anyway. I'm planning to add a tablecloth accessory later but I want it to be removable so it doesn't look odd in certain... Grubbier environments :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial With a pair of tinsnips, you can cut sheet from the flat tops of food cans. Some biscuit tins are thin enough to be cut with stout scissors. Some coins are magnetic (the new 2p coin, for example), so you could have a round tabletop with one of those.
Ah, good idea! I think I'll try that on my next pieces and mention the magnet technique here for anyone who has some anyway and doesn't want to buy a new tool :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial What about small washers or nuts on one side instead of magnets? Could save magnets and avoid the polarituy issue
If you check out the stackable shelves/tavern bar, I use tin now :) works well, especially with thinner balsa (1/32" thick)
Someone is rocking that wolverine quarantine look!
You know, every time I grow my hair and beard out a bit so many people say that...
Not complaining though, bloody complimentary! :D
I, too, am thankful for the algorithm that brought this video to me... I started by making two tables and benches... I Bob Ross'd it at the end by trying Tamiya panel liner to darken in between the table top planks but balsa being thirsty pulled the liner away from where I wanted it... At first I was a little up set but after a second dry brush it just look like food/drink stains which added to the realism. No mistakes... Just happy accidents!
You're a mad lad... very clever, I need to whip up a few of these...
Thanks! Plenty more ideas where this came from ;)
Fantastic!!! I love it
Thanks man!
You've got some cool ideas too, I liked your metal bracing on your tables, it's just harder to get that material over here. Or I don't drink high quality enough coffee. One of the two...
@@RPArchiveOfficial cheers! It's actually a notoriously cheap brand of coffee, chosen specifically to upset the Aussie watchers, so you may be looking in the wrong direction haha. Keep up the great work.
Ah, I'll have to investigate! :D
You could glue an iron plate under the table to allow free placement!
I did consider this! However, cost, ease of access to materials and the potential intimidation factor of unusual/difficult to cut materials in the end made me decide against it :/
The main goal was to make something people could easily make themselves without being too nervous or it being too expensive :)
Agreed, a thin sheet of metal underneath would mean unlimited item placement.
Though there are reusable tacks and waxes used to stick stuff down without damaging anything that would probably save everyone money on magnets.
@@JackrabbitCrafts We can also use thin "flexible magnets" that can be cut with an exactor (the stuff to make fridge magnets). Or use paper clips etc...
Tried this. Fridge magnet sheet is not strong enough to hold the smaller magnets (2mm) through the table, unfortunately.
Balsa wood doesn't have normal wood grain. It's very coarse and has flakes in it. It's soft and can be marked with a thumbnail. Basswood, rather, is fine grained and firmer, but easily cut and shaped by knife and file. In the UK it may be called white wood or ramenwood. I made all my 1/72 furniture out of that and matchsticks.
now i desperatly need to restock on magnets...
for future detail ideas... how about chain of sausages? beer mugs... the list is writing itself for eternity!!!
Already on my list ;)
When we were kids my brother used to use balsa wood to make flying model planes. They flew great butafter a few flights he'd have to repair them because balsa is so weak. When I started building DnD terrain about 20 years ago I decided to use bass wood. It's easy enough to work with and a lot stronger than balsa.
This is great for some cheap scatter furniture!
Cool video--I would recommend making your voice mono, I can mostly hear you in my left ear in the beginning. Really clean crafts as usual.
Interesting, I'll take a look at that!
I prefer Basswood over Balsawood. It's way stronger but extremally light and easy to carve. It's not as light or soft as Balsawood but the durability of it makes it worth it.
Don't wire brush foam. Use stiff plastic brushes instead. you get the same or extremally close to the same effect but without the ripping a wire brush does to foam
I love your work, man.
Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Can't help but stop and comment on how clever the bottle idea was and how ornate yet "doable" the candles are!
Love the detail in the tables and thank you for demonstrating the balsa wood variations btw. Now in with the rest of the video!
Edit: Hold up! The books...are you kidding! Wow so much design detail and versatility (contextually speaking) Respect! On with the video...
Thank you for making pieces with reusable features. So happy I found this video!!!!!
Really nice video.
Magnets are awesome of course. But what I really like is your way of crafting the small elements on the tables, and the way you use wood in general. Also, the use of ModPodge for the small details has opened my mind.
I consider this video a really good reference.
Thank you, that's really awesome to hear!
Balsa wood is probably my favourite crafting material right now, it's so much better than foam for quite a few things.
As I have seen in the video, it is really easy to cut it in nice shapes with a knife. I definitively should try it.
You are woefully undersubbed. I just found you as a random pop up in my youtube feed. I've watched a few of your vids, you do fantastic work!
Thank you! I'm crawling up there slowly but surely 😄
This is brilliant! Hmmm...how cool would it be to mix this design with some 3D models. Ferb I know what we’re going to do today!
Thanks Indie :)
I like the idea of doing a thin sheet of tin on the bottom face just in between the legs of the table itself so it's hidden but you can put the accessories just about anywhere on the table
Once again you show us soo many good ideas ! Nice beard little barbarian !
Haha! It's getting there :)
Great table scatter. Good job.
Thanks Chris!
Just getting started with terrain but these are likely to be one of the first builds following some dungeon tiles. Brilliant thanks!
If you like these you might want to check this out before you start on dungeon tiles: ruclips.net/video/mB08dC5aAo8/видео.html
:)
I advise you to start with some hills they are easier and you can get them to look really good with no effort
I absolutely love the tiny accessories in this video! They look fantastic! -Jill
PS: I can't believe how simple the books are to make, but how amazing they look! I may make some without magnets for now... just to have them! (I'll work up to magnets someday...)
Thank you! Magnets are so easy to work with once you start, just buy a pack and have a play :)
And I do mean a play, they're weirdly fun to just... Connect :D
Would you make a modular treasure pile? Jewels, gold coins, jewelry, weapons, armor, etc.. Really enjoyed the video, thanks.
Possibly, though only if I did something different to the usual glitter... I'm not a fan 😂
A bounty of 'my subscription' for bookcases with removable shelves with rows of books or racks of wine bottles
I have shelves planned that will work with these pieces :) I'll be covering most furniture in time...
I've subscribed because the bottles are genius!
Awesome :) and thanks!
came from reddit, like the vids
Awesome! Don't forget to subscribe and check out the others, if you like modular stuff I've got you covered ;)
Lol full on thought the diorama in the beginning was an edited window and then he grabbed a thing off it
Excellent idea! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for commenting :)
Commenting for the algorithm! I just recently found your channel (I think through this video) and I love all the crafts you've done so far! Thank you for ending my crafting slump, and for continuing to make these videos. Looking forward to watching the channel grow, as well as my own terrain! Keep up the great work :)
Glad I could help! :)
This is a great idea for how to implement some more detail! New to the channel but very much going to stay!
Nice to hear :) there's a few other systems I've been working on in other videos you might be interested in
@@RPArchiveOfficial Currently going through your entire back-log. :D
Haven't been this excited about a new crafting channel since Black Magic Craft. And your style of building seems more geared towards TTRPG, which I love!
Awesome! Yeah I'm definitely tilted that way, but I have plans to expand this system in ways Wargamers would find useful too :) stay tuned...
This is so clever! Decorating a couple of workshop interiors, and this has given me so many ideas. Thank you!
This looks like so much fun to build and as somebody who builds everything for multipurpose, it's genius!
Can confirm. Was fun to build. :D
love those little tables!
Thanks!
Great work. I loved making these. Personally I found it easier to build the legs and tops of the tables separately, then paint / attach the magnets, then combining the tops and legs at the end. Not necessary, just worked for me.
I actually considered making them that way, its pretty much 6 and two threes, I think :)
Honestly I've probably watched 100 different crafters make miniature accessories. Yours by far are always the cleanest and most accurate looking. Also quite sturdy!
Thanks! That was kinda part of the goal, alongside making it a more realistic (read: smaller) scale 😅
@@RPArchiveOfficial you've inspired me to magnetize my food/candles for my tables! Keeps them from falling off during gameplay and like you said. Fully enterchangeable/modular
Awesome! Hope you find it useful :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial definitely will. Now if you have a tutorial on how to snap your fingers and everything gets painted please share it in your next video! Haha cheers
Haha, that's the dream...
This is amazing stuff. Thank you for doing what you do!
Thank you for showing your support! I really appreciate your comments. And not just because I'm feeding them into the pit of the algorithm beast.
:D
That bread looks delicious... 🤤
Amazing modular work as always!
Thanks :)
GREAT WORK
Cant believe I just now found your channel. Absolutely stunning projects and tutorials. Subbed and thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks man! And welcome :)
This is great! Wish I found your channel sooner, you've got a great system for d&d terrain.
Thank you! Plenty more to come :)
i just stumbled into your channel, but daaaaamn i'm hooked! great job love your approaches
Thanks Martin! Plenty more coming ;)
Wow, this tutorial is magnificent. Your instructions are clear and precise.
Thank you :)
This is truly amazing, I am going to try and work on this asap!
I am watching this early morning before work and because I'm new to this channel and still have so much more to watch, I'm finding myself anxious to see what other tricks you have. Sooo excited. Stay Awesome Brudda
Awesome to hear man :) hope you enjoy them!
Great vid, gave me a couple of nice ideas. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for watching!
Thx for the video !
Thanks again for the comment :)
I love your work, you are one of mine, we like to work on small details.
Definitely :)
Really awesome technique man!!
Thanks man!
Your such a Master
Brilliant!
Thanks Laura :)
I've tested "magnetic paint" (acrylic medium full of iron dust).
Layers on the piece, which is cut into a steep sloap
* Modge podge
* magnetic paint
* acrylic paint
* Modge podge
* Static grass
* spray varnish
Result - the layer of iron infused paint easily held all my figures. I assume painting the table with magnetic paint would be easier than installing magnets.
How many layers of magnetic paint?
@@RPArchiveOfficial Just two layers. It depends on what kind of magnets you use for characters. I ordered magnets (from your recommended company in the USA) that were the "1-5 pound pull", they are flat and fit easily underneath miniatures. I've got foam columns (1"x1x3") with smaller
@@RPArchiveOfficial Forgot to add, the only place I could find the stuff was at Amazon. It's not shaken, and none of our local paint stores would shake it because "it will explode". It's a bear to stir.
This is so amazing. Wonderful ideas and great craftsmanship. I'm going to the peatreon page now...
Thanks again man :)
Cool i subscribed greetings from México
Thanks :) always nice hearing from other countries!
You could just have a small bit of metal underneath. That way you could place the decoration parts pretty much anywhere on the table.
Already done, check out the stackable bar/cupboard video :)
Love magnets :) damn poles though, always mixing them up
Haha! Funny you should say that, in my later builds I'm using tin from tin cans in a lot of places where possible - so poles don't matter 😅
It's in the stackable bar video if you're curious :)
There's also a trick in the modular roof video for keeping track of poles, I find it useful, lessens the frustration haha!
@@RPArchiveOfficial I use tiny computer screws :)
Ah yeah, they work pretty well where they can be hidden :) problem I usually have with them is the build I'm doing is too thin!
Actually while I remember, another cool point for tin is it gives you a surface area you can smoothly place a magnet anywhere, which is a nice bonus :)
Very creative
Thanks :)
Nice!
Thanks Jacob :)
Well, amazing job 🙀🙀 any ideas for small cups? 🤔
The wine bottles would make good potions to.
great tutorial :)
Thanks :)
Every cool!
Thanks man!
I'm probably going to cut myself a few times, but I think I'm going to give these a try, great build!
Balsa wood is a joy to work with, you might find you cut yourself less because it's so easy to cut :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial Hopefully! I need those fingers lol
I just made the inside of a tavern and I wish I would have seen this video first. Do you ever use a 3D printer? Thanks for a great vid
I am currently skint and do not own one! I'd love to get my hands on one as soon as possible though, I've got a mountain of minis I want to print...
Maybe I should set it as a patreon goal...once I've paid for all the channel costs!
thanks for this I am just getting into using balsa. I've been using foam and even coffee stirrers etc. I was recently given some pieces of balsa to build an abandoned Dwarven mine having never used it before I wasn't sure what to do to get the grain and I ended up using and very thin graphics pen and a wire brush I was worried about using a knife to be honest because I can sometimes be a little heavy handed and I didn't want to cut right into the wood which is impossible to do with the pen. it did work well I angles the pen to get thinner lines
Nice one! If you want to try using a knife you do need to be careful, but it's easier if you use the back side of the blade I find.
@@RPArchiveOfficial ah now that makes sense! thanks for that
Maybe instead of cutting round candle base, you could use a hole puncher. I don't know, if dimentions are nice, but seems like much less effort and nice shape.
Usually a bit rough and bent, BUT what would work is thick styrene rod, sliced like salami...
Is it possible to make a mysterious moving door using the polar opposites of magnets for something like a wizards tower? 🤔
Depends how you did it, but probably :)
Which kind of putty are you using? Love the video!
Brown stuff :)
Great Video and you are giving me so many ideas. I absolutely have to run a modular setup for my games and these new ideas are what I need to create more immersion for my players.
I do have a question:
I know you mentioned the size of the magnet in a video but I couldn't find it. What size do you use? They look like 2.5 mm neodymium magnets.
Close! 3mm diameter, 2mm thick neomidium, there are links on my equipment page in the description :)
Those particular links aren't affiliate links because I wanted people to get a decent price but plenty of others are if you need tools or supplies and want to support the channel for free :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial Thanks for the response. I tried using the link but got an error code. I'll try it again and thank you again for the info.
Happy to help :)
11:13 Just use office puncher.
what kind of putty do you use? the bread looks amazing
Here I think I used green stuff? I think? Long time ago!
😊
Great video, thanks a lot for sharing this!
I do have a crafting question I have asked several other channels hoping I could get an idea to resolve an issue but so far no luck. I have been planning a Russian type cathedral project much like St. Basil's in Moscow . For the onion shaped ceiling domes I planned on using some old rubber ear droppers from the 80's I had salvaged from my mom's house that would have worked be perfectly! Any suggestions on what else to because I can no longer find them? I appreciate any advice you or your audience could provide, thanks in advance!
Closest thing I can think of is the shiftinglands.Com dome cutter?
@@RPArchiveOfficial I'll check it out, thanks for the fast response!
No problem :)
Is that shrine / alter piece on the table with the candels in any of your video tutorials?
It's in the modular arched entrance/church video a week or two before this one :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial thank you :)
Can I please ask what you put on the cardboard strips to be the rivets? I have made your table (love it!) and not sure what to use.
I used dabs of mod podge :) I did a dot, let it dry, did another dot until I was happy, 2-3 layers
@@RPArchiveOfficial thanks so much!
Have you tried using layers of cardstock instead of balsa wood?
I haven't tried it, though it should work fine if it's a similar thickness, it'll just look different. The magnets are the main thing.
What color do you mean by tan? It looked almost grey to me? I am trying to pick up more paints as my collection is very new. Also do you have suggestions for the gloss varnish and a copper metal miniature paint?
The tan I use is the same as I show in my painting stone video and quite a few others, basically it's a browny beige, like the colour of wet sand almost.
For gloss varnish, there are a fair few decent brands out there, vallejo for example.
The copper colour is GW 'brass scorpion' :)
First time crafter because of this video. I am finishing my tables now, but how do I / should I even seal them? I've painted as you did here, (wood with acrylic and dry brushed acrylic; Modge Podge on strips, then painted and metalliced). Do you need to seal them after? What with?
That's great to hear man :)
Matte varnish, either spray on or brush on. It's not foam so it doesn't need to be water based, but water based will do just fine (and will be safe for future foam projects)
There's links to some in the equipment list in the description :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial I picked up Minwax for my first set of tiles and have some army painter matte varnish, so I'll use one or the other. Thanks Matt, really happy with how it turned out! Can't wait to get on to the next batch.
You were correct in that the fence for the proxxon is poor, I ordered the shifting lands after struggling to get straight cuts with this batch.
Again, thanks a bunch! You've made amazing videos and turned a potentially overwhelming hobby into a smooth introduction.
Well I'm really happy I was able to help man :) just ask if you have any more questions
I just saw your videos and they are very good, a question the miniatures you use I see that they are from the wizkids brand and from the d & d brand itself, but the barbarians who see what brand and the animals of which, could you tell me the brands I am a collector of miniatures and I also like eld & d and use them, I would appreciate it if you could tell me the brands of miniatures you use.
Trying to find it… what are you currently using instead of tin on your models that’s easier to handle? And how do you end he the pieces of tin so there is minimal cut risk?
I now use nickel strip linked in the equipment list, much easier to cut, flatter, easier to bend if needed and much less cutting risk I think :)
Pints with frothy tops?
Yeah I'm still working on that 😅
What witchcraft did you use to cut out those 1/8" squares!?! I have snapped 10 of them trying with brand new olfa blades...
Jog my memory, what material/bit are the 1/8" squares from?
@@RPArchiveOfficial the braces / legs. To fit the 1/8 square dowel through under the table. You just used an art knife in the video but I have zero luck haha.
@@RPArchiveOfficial thinking my issue might be using large craft sticks / tounge depressors and not sheet balsa wood. Gonna head out the the craft shop tomorrow and try to save my frustrated brain from exploding. Love the content man, it's amazing craftsmanship!
Oh that's definitely your issue! Balsa wood is a joy to work with, you'll never go back ;)
Dumb question: What is cereal card?
Cereal card is the thin packaging card you get on breakfast cereal boxes and damn near everything really :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial Thanks for the crazy fast response! Is there anywhere to buy such on its own? Or do you just recommend going out, buying a box of cereal, and using that once you're done with the cereal?
Pretty much just using packaging from things you buy, if you only need a small amount other smaller food packaging can do, freezer food usually has it :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial Awesome! Thank you so so so much!
Where do one get that beautiful horse head figure?????
It's an old warhammer horse head :)
what's the size of magnet are you using in the video?
3mm wide, 2mm deep n52 neodymium disk magnets :)
Hello have any patterns for your furniture or the sizes please it's to help my grate granddaughter who is 7years old and she loves watching all your videos on RUclips
Hi Tara! There's no template or pattern exactly, but the dimensions/measurements of all the parts are in notes on screen when I use them if that helps? There's also links to good sources of balsa wood and tools in the equipment list in the description :) let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to help if I can!
anyone know the size of the magnets?
Is mod podge just pva glue?
Good question, and no, not exactly :) its formula is different, and it has a few benefits over PVA, especially for sealing.
I'd advise using it where I mention it instead of PVA, I can't say what result you'll get otherwise 😅
@@RPArchiveOfficial Thanks for the reply. I never heard of it, so will give it a try.
Carry on the good job, your videos have been very informative.
I'd like to order 5,000 magnets from the JC magnets link you provided. Do you by chance have a coupon code for that company? : )
I do not unfortunately, just spider magnetics in the equipment list :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial Thank you anyway : )
The real guide here was how to lure lindybeige.
He pops up a few times 😂
Dumb obvious question here. Cereal card is just cut up cereal box cardboard, right?
Correct :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial Thank you! I try to keep up on my Briticisms, but sometimes one slips through :)
Thanks for being so responsive in the comments. While I'm at it, thanks for making these videos. I'm having a good time following along. When quarantine is over, my PCs are gonna have a good time on the new terrain!
can you lower the music? its difficult to hear your voice
It's a fine balance, and something I'm keeping an eye on. I've noticed I have a tendency to quieten my voice at the end of a sentence at times which doesn't help!
