- In this video I show off my new hand made texture roller. Made from a piece of 1.5" pic pipe and a Dremel. Excited to share it with you. This is a prelude to next week's video where I utilize this tool to make an awesome, huge project.

This is awesome! Also I love your birb
Thank you. Wren loves to craft with me.
Ever since finding you, I cant stop watching. I love you're content and you're love for creativity is beautiful!
Thank you so much. I hope I can keep releasing content that you love.
that's the idea I was looking for! Thanks!
There are no Texture Rollers in my area to buy so I gotta make my own.
It's a lot of work, but very worth it.
I recently finished a diy cobblestone roller. I used some above/below ground pvc electrical conduit- the walls are a bit thicker than plumbing pvc. It was very labor intensive to carve out all the cobblestones with a rotary tool but the result is worth it because it should last pretty much forever!
To apply more pressure, evenly, find rolling pins, even at the dollar store, and get pvc that will fit around it. Doesn't have to even fit perfectly, just chip board as shims until it fits then expoxy it together.
Super great tip!
Fill the roller with small gravel and glue or cement for more weight or fishing lead ... instead of gravel ...
So cool!,!
Looks like I'm off to the hardware store to get some pvc. Great job, Loving the content!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for posting this tutorial. Ren is adorable
Good stuff
For doing those rollers the deeper you go, the better and the thinner the raised areas are the better. It cuts into the foam much easier when the raised areas are as thin as possible just like this one! I'm doing a larger brick one next, thinking maybe alike to the style of the stonework at Machu Pichu.
That sounds amazing. If you've got pictures I'd love to see them. Share them with me on Instagram.
Finished boring out my roller last night. I ended up using black PVC since it was the only type I could find locally. My bricks aren't nearly as small as yours, but man, it works fantastically! Any other ideas for designs aside from the brick?
Right now just different brick patterns. However I've seen some decorative rollers used for clay. Maybe compromise and do some Celtic knots for Dwarven and vines and filigree for elven. I'll have to give it a try.
@@brokenterrain The Celtic knots would be phenomenal. My rotary tool isn't a Dremol, it's an off brand and awkward to hold. Like you mentioned in the video, it's brutal on the hands. Filigree... hmmmm...
So brutal. It took me days to fully recover.
Thanks for the ideal. I'm just getting started so I'm always looking for tips. But before I do this, I think I'm going to try an idea I had. I'm going to use construction glue and coat the PVC, then roll it in pea gravel. Another ideal I had was to use some QuickCrete, add pea gravel and cast rollers. I've even though about buying a paver with exposed aggregate and sandwhicking the foam between the two pavers.
I'm really new at this and so far, I'm only in the planning stages. What do you think?
That will work well. It will create a great texture roller. Not sure about casting one. Let me know how it turns out.
@@brokenterrain Thanks, I will.
How do u put it on a roller handle to do a whole room and ceiling?
I'm thinking a piece of wooden Dowling the size of the pvc you used should work.
I wonder if this would work with either a rolling pin in the middle of this pipe or carving out of a rolling pin to start. It would probably give you better even pressure and be less stress on your joints. Would love to hear your thoughts
100 percent with you on this. I think threading a pipe through it would help a lot. Making one from a rolling pin to start with is an interesting idea. 🤔 Might be a pain to carve though.
@@brokenterrain Maybe even go a step further and turn it into a slip roll or roller press like machine so the pressure could be created/controlled with a pair (or two) of bolts or threaded rods?
Might be able to get away with something as simple as either galvanized or black steel pipe acting as axles for the pvc pipe ...and perhaps bolted to another axle/pvc pipe to make a pair of rollers to feed the foam through. Lots of ways to tinker around with this idea......
Just thinking that depending on the amount of pressure needed a rolling pin may not suffice (have seen the handles on cheap rolling pins bend before) and if the down pressure can be created by something other that muscle alone all the better..... even being able to get some leverage with a shape like a (super-strong) paint roller or leather roller would probably help.
Reminds me of the rolling table for PMA. I'll think on it and if I come up with a cost effective solution I'll be sure to share it.
@@brokenterrain yes please. You have already given me so many ideas that I am eager to incorporate into my builds
I just bought some pvc tonight to make a texture roller. Check out my IG for an update soon! Btw my dollar store batman statue is done!
