Hi Jeremy, I'm a 'Pegger myself and man is it weird around here lately. They took all the chairs out of City Place mall lol. I'm about to watch this tutorial and I had a question for you. I'm thinking about trying to do a fairly involved swamp scene diorama using a large piece of pet store aquarium driftwood as the centerpiece. Could you use Mod Podge to seal it? I know you mix in black paint as a colour primer with yours but can you prime Mod Podge after it sets with a Games Workshop primer? Thanks. Tom
My survivalist friend has been stockpiling food and camping gear for years, while ive been saving cardboard boxes and and mdf off-cuts. Who's laughing now, sucker!!
A few months ago I got a random suggestion from youtube to watch a terrain building video. I can't remember who it was. I used to play D&D 30+ years ago and it looked interesting so I clicked on it. Next thing I know I'm subbed to about a dozen people doing this stuff and I'm saving boxes and bits and building stuff for the fun of it. I don't even play D&D now, nor do I plan to. But I like this community and the fun stuff you all teach. I've always been an action figure collector (since my first Han Solo figure I got in 1977), so I'm scaling the methods up and making 1/12 and 1/6 scale stuff and making props to put on the shelves next to my figures. I've made a couple of terrain pieces for fun and will try to see if our local game store has any need for them when we're done with the sickness. oo-ah-ah-ah-ah. Stay healthy and enjoy the kiddo time. Hope you like it enough to decide to home school, if they let Canajuns do that sort of thing.
I’m a big advocate for recycling so of course I love these type videos, plus I am a juvenile AoD counselor and this is something underprivileged youth can still get their hands on. I’m a “craft instead of drugs” type counselor and I’m telling you, videos like this rock their world, their faces light up and you can just see the wheels starting to turn in their heads. So....lol.....thank you for this video, the kids will love it as much as I do! Keep on keeping on. You really never know who you could be touching in a positive way by sharing your talents!!
You could also save time and waste on the strip cutting by cutting a wavy live-edge line, then a straight one, then wavy, alternating as you cut. Each piece will still have one wavy edge.
Wait.....this is totally true. I don't think the waste is an issue as I was only loosing tiny tiny strips, but this is way better for time and more importantly less cuts = blades stay sharper longer!
Hey dude, I know its a tough time for everyone including you and your family. But this video is awesome and wanted to let you know that, you make a lot of awesome content that continues to be a highlight of my weeks. So thanks Man.
Hello there. I read on your Instagram post that you were a in a bit of an emotional slump. I hope it gets better for you m8, we are all here for you and love all your work and videos!
I started crafting towards the end of February for the D&D 5e campaign I'm running. Storm King's Thunder. Got a whole bunch of scatter terrain made. Rocks, a hollow log, felled tree stump, stalagmites, and more rocks. Looked spectacular considering the tools I had on hand. Friends loved them. I was happy and it really enhanced the experience having something more than just black marker on the battle mat. Now with COVID19 we moved to roll20 for the time being. It sucks that I put all this work into them and they've been put into a box collecting dust. But its better to be safe than sorry! Crafting supplies can wait, so protect yourselves and your loved ones!
I thank you for inviting people to take on greater responsibilities in this historic moment. I write from Italy and we are in a real apocalyptic scenario ... Thanks to the doctors and nurses for their efforts, even at the cost of their lives.
I was in the midst of making some barrels out of toilet paper tubes when you released the video. This’ll help out a lot with the wood texture so thank you!
Another great tip for our disposable society! You are resilient, you are enough. Spring has begun over there, make some time to get out where you can see life and growth returning - you might get some inspiration and a walk in nature is good for the spirit.
I have to isolate for 12 weeks due to my health conditions and your videos are inspiring me, I love to build and make things but I never seem to have the time, now I have nothing but time, keep well and keep crafting x
Always great to see you trying new techniques for things you already do really well. Also, watching BMC is just part of my week now so you're giving me some needed normality in these strange days. Thanks for still being here and still being awesome.
Lacking a foam cutting table, I use this material to make wood shingles. I use a matte modeling paste and a wet cruddy brush to make my wood-grain textures on the shingles, giving me ridges to catch dry-brushing. I can use the same cardboard in strips to line valleys and cap hips and ridges. - I mix some black paint with some modeling paste to make a roofing tar (post-painting of the whole model) for weathering-in chimneys, or to make the appearance of a tar patch where a shingle is missing.
I did this same technique for my first major piece, a 3 mast ship. Love it. Thanks for staying in touch! Your vids are just about the only social interaction I get these days. LOL
A friend introduced me to your channel, and I've been spending quarantine going crazy on crafts! I can't wait to get back together with my players and use my new terrain and 3D effects! Thanks for the videos and ease of access to new DM crafters!
I found this week through some testing that really good way to add is by brushing on some heavy gel. I used it to create some bamboo on a 40k base and I'm super happy with the results.
Thank you so much for your continually amazing videos. Probably like everyone else I'm craving content right now, haha! You provide a good fix every time. Stay safe and healthy!
Consistently delivering videos like a champ, sir. As to wood grain on cardboard, I've been experimenting a lot lately with glue-based textures. Take a fairly-large sheet of cardstock, brush a fairly large amount of glue on there with a dry brush, and then brush it over and over again in the same direction. Make sure you do this on top of something like parcment paper that will let you peel away the piece once the PVA has dried. You end up with a grain effect complete with irregular lines. Of course, you have to seal it before you start applying washes or even watered-down paint. This seems to work better with heavier versions of PVA, like wood glues and tacky glues. Has anybody else had any luck using PVA to create wood texture?
I was stuck doing a diorama and this video gave me an idea and I followed your directions and it turned out amazing! I wish I could post a picture! Thanks, Jeremy! Stay safe, my friend!
Nice one Jeremy! You can also make the wood texture with a thick acrylic paint and leave brushmarks. Or modpodge it before you cut them out (but leave in those brush strokes).
Love the channel, long time fan, unfortunately due to lack of space (along with 3 under 5's running around the place) I can't really do any crafting myself, was wondering if it's possible to craft modular buildings that could fold flat for storage and transport reasons but I know I'm not knowledgeable enough to even attempt that
Have you ever tried getting a dollar tree cheese grater and some chalk from the same. Grate the chalk and color with a very watery color to make the powered the color you need. Works like a champ.
Jeremy, I think you just saved me a crap ton of work. I was about to use popsicle sticks to cut planks for some siding but I prefer the way this turned out and trying to get popsicle sticks to actually look like wood is a pain in the arse.
Staying healthy, safe, and vigilant! Thanks for the great video! Keep up the good work and sharing it with us. You are the reason I got into terrain building and I am very much enjoying my new hobby. Thanks!
...Somehow you are a hobby mind reader. Literally half hour before you uploaded this, me and my house mate were discussing building a load of Dark Age wooden building, lamenting the fact we couldn't just pop out for coffee stirrers. Low and behold!
Thank you for the insperation. I was in a funk for crafting the next step in my campaign and this kick started me! It also reminded me that D&D is about imagination and this is the time to use it. Thanks again, be well and health and happiness to you and yours at a distance.
Thank you, Black Magic Craft, for being such a positive source in the online and crafting community! Especially in such a tough time the world is going through!
Honestly, thank you so much for continuing to put out creative, useful, and entertaining new content during this difficult time for many. It's a great way to keep busy and do something creative all the while theming the build around avoiding needing to buy additional materials! Love the vids! Hope you and your family are staying safe, too!
Thanks dude for making some content for us to watch. One of my highlights each week. Stay safe yourself and remember this is just a bump in the road. We can all get past this.
Thanks Jeremy, great message that more Aussies need to listen too. Just settling into isolation here - it's tough not to just pop out for supplies. My young guy wants a Wild West village for cowboys vs aliens - this is just perfect - off to the recycling bin now. Cheers mate, wishing you well. Alan
Top Tips for easy builds! Great! I do have enough mini's to keep myself busy... probably until this time next year, but I hope this all blows over soon, otherwise I will go out of business with my store... Keep safe, keep healthy and keep on crafting you all!
That is a perfect look for Malifaux. I think that would make some great wooden shingles as well. Hmmm, this has really got me thinking about the possibilities now!
something else you can try: instead of scoring the strips, cover them in a thin layer of Mod Podge. Let it dry completely, then add another, slightly thicker layer on top. As this is drying, you can use a wire brush to texture it! It can take a little bit of experimentation with timing, pressure, ect. But the result looks AMAZING once it has a base coat on it! I used it to make a Mimic sculpture, and I seriously recommend trying it out!!
while i have been using my wire brush headed sculpting tool for adding details onto terrain bases (namely to make sculpted tile ones look more worn) i hadn't thought of texturing cardboard with it! and i am quite happy now that i know it works
Seeing familiar faces in my timeline is really soothing to me, a bit of normal in these scary times. Your work is much appreciated, thank you and stay safe!
Pure genius! Watched it last week and finally managed to do a shack using this method. It came out awesome!! I'm making stuff in 20mm/ 1:64 and i hated the effect popsicle sticks gave, it was always to thick and out of scale no matter what i tried. But with this it looks just right! Thank You for the awesome content!!
Great video. This week I used my nights (and your tip on egg carton rocks) to make a boulder hut. Creating is a nice and welcome distraction after I get home my job as a nurse. Stay safe take care.
Great tutorial. Glad to see you were able to record and post. never thought to texture card to make it look like wood. I have to say, just after your mod podge sealer the piece looked finished already. Like old weathered wood. Stay safe and craft on my friend.
Awesome. Your elegantly simple technique looks remarkable when finished. It occurs to me that alternating straight and wavy cuts on center with your marked lines at half-inch increments is a simple and efficient way to create strips quickly that have an "organic" bottom edge with a straight top edge (for neat alignment) that is hidden in the overlap. Keep up the fine work. -- Chris
Great video. I'd also suggest if you haven't used already to try Minwax polyshades for staining anything you want to look like wood. Relatively cheap and you can go as dark or light as you want from buying just a couple. I have mahogany for dark, walnut for medium and pecan for light. I've also used pecan over white for an aged bone look.
I wish I would have seen this before. I made a roof for a cabin out of popsicle sticks. Had to cut them the same way you did. Thanks for all your videos! Love watching you work.
Great video as always Jeremy. I do kinda feel like this may have worked better with styrofoam plates, so I might attempt this with those which I have handy. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks, been looking at a box and several other kinds of paper stuff. Thinking of a kit I had years ago, was a Box Car turned into a building, an old RR guy's shack kind of thing. This video makes me braver and ready to try it.
That looks absolutely superb. I have a scriber which I accidentally dropped on to concrete and chipped the point - it's now going to be a woodgrain creator. I'm very tempted to make some 1/18 scale coffins, using that technique. Thank you. Keep safe.
Ive been using food package boxes to make panels for a space ship I'm working on and a large space station. Same for those card stock and paper credit cards from junk mail.
I know you're probably never gonna see this, but for all of us in the comments, I found that using the edge of one of those small hobby files, the one shaped like a knife that comes to a tapered edge, and running it down a page of cardstock with pressure works super well to put in a deep wood grain. Only thing I'd suggest with it is to brush the dust off to the side gently, use a swiffer duster, or vacuum it as you go instead of slapping it all off which throws all that dust in the air.
Awsome video dude!!! I made a cave enterence I would love to show you using only things I found in the back garden and the recycling bin. Do you have any advice how to make some moss, I'm looking to make overhanging moss at the top of the cave to finish it off
Thanks man this is going to help me a lot I'm starting my first set of dungeon tiles and I want to have some parts have wood to look like people have made it their base, and add some wood scatters too! Thanks man!
Great to see you're staying active chief. Have you considered using a ballpoint pen for texture? It makes good indentations in card that can be painted over.
I'm probably really late, but an idea popped into my head. I thought back to that one house build you did with easy accessible tools. You had complained about how the foam you used looked too thick for the wood framing of the stucko. While watching this I wondered if this technique would have made a good substitute, but thought it would be too thin. Then, I thought about chip board. The medium weight stiff Wylock always uses is thinner than the dollar store foam board, but thicker than the food packaging card stock. Could you use the scraping/scoring technique you used here on that chip board? I might try it myself, though it's way too hot to be working in my garage.
Stay home. Stay safe. Protect your community. Be kind to each other.
Clicked for build, stayed for kindness. Thanks Jeremy. And likewise, all the best to you and your family :)

This is what we hoarded all these materials for. I can isolate and build for like 3 months straight. Stay safe every one!
This is what you’ve trained for!
It's not hoarding, it's being craft prepared 😆

My heart has been aching for Italy for days and days. But soon it will be the reality almost everywhere. Dark days. Best wishes friend.
I was in the midst of making some barrels out of toilet paper tubes when you released the video. This’ll help out a lot with the wood texture so thank you!
Would like to see those
You have toilet paper tubes? I haven't seen toilet paper in 6 months!!
Thank you so much for giving our community small, simple, but very accessible and satisfying crafts to do in this hard time. Stay safe my dude.
Thank you for continuing to put out material during these difficult time. 🤙🏻👍🏻🙏🏼
Very lovely effect mate. I will try this!
You're not allowed. You will make it too nice :P
Another great tip for our disposable society!
You are resilient, you are enough. Spring has begun over there, make some time to get out where you can see life and growth returning - you might get some inspiration and a walk in nature is good for the spirit.
I think a ball-point pen pressed hard enough could be great for adding the texture, a great use for the dried up pens
I have to isolate for 12 weeks due to my health conditions and your videos are inspiring me, I love to build and make things but I never seem to have the time, now I have nothing but time, keep well and keep crafting x

I'm surprised we got a vid this week, glad to see creativity is still triumphant in these dark times.

I am on day 12, your videos really help to pass the time. Keep up the good work.
I love these videos so much, it's so helpful when you can't leave the house to buy supplies or when you're building on a budget
Content like this is really nice these days. Keep up the great work and most important stay healthy.

Very useful video! I'm self-isolating pretty strictly but being resourceful with what you find around your home is an adventure right now.
A very nice result. The wash - dry brush layering came out perfect. Stay safe.
Thank you for the insperation. I was in a funk for crafting the next step in my campaign and this kick started me! It also reminded me that D&D is about imagination and this is the time to use it. Thanks again, be well and health and happiness to you and yours at a distance.

Yea, I’ve used this material for shingles on almost all my houses actually!
Well, this just made the wood floors I was worried about doing a whole heck of a lot easier. Thank you!
Classy and inspirational as always. Praying for you and yours. Slainte!
something else you can try: instead of scoring the strips, cover them in a thin layer of Mod Podge. Let it dry completely, then add another, slightly thicker layer on top. As this is drying, you can use a wire brush to texture it!

Lovin the new ink too, coming along nicely . Stay safe bud.

Absolutely
Absolutely wonderful use of your skills and offering best tips.
Nice

Relatively cheap and you can go as dark or light as you want from buying just a couple. I have mahogany for dark, walnut for medium and pecan for light. I've also used pecan over white for an aged bone look.
I wish I would have seen this before. I made a roof for a cabin out of popsicle sticks. Had to cut them the same way you did. Thanks for all your videos! Love watching you work.
I love your resourcefulness! Super-inspiring!
Looks great for roofing too!
Great video as always Jeremy. I do kinda feel like this may have worked better with styrofoam plates, so I might attempt this with those which I have handy. Thanks for the inspiration!
Styrofoam plates are an excellent option and I've done it in the past. You'll be good with those for sure.
Very cool technique. I’m actually gonna use it as a background for an art journal piece. Thanks!
Top tip with the wood affect I’m doing some today so really nice technique
Thanks, been looking at a box and several other kinds of paper stuff. Thinking of a kit I had years ago, was a Box Car turned into a building, an old RR guy's shack kind of thing. This video makes me braver and ready to try it.
Great idea, it could even be made into a series. Recycling bin terrain.
Good luck and stay positive guys we will make it thru.
Awesome as always. Would like to see a wood building with some wood like this. Maybe a easy Cabin, or Small house.
I’m impressed! Would never think to gouge lines into cardstock for details...will definitely experiment with it
Great idea. I enjoy your foam work, but you're right; this has a better scale. I'm going to give it a try.
I'm grateful for this awesome channel, be safe brother
That looks absolutely superb. I have a scriber which I accidentally dropped on to concrete and chipped the point - it's now going to be a woodgrain creator. I'm very tempted to make some 1/18 scale coffins, using that technique. Thank you. Keep safe.
I’m sick in bed and this makes me happy! Be well friends!!
Get well!
Great idea, I do the same thing with old weathered 3 ply wood that is falling apart, then made similar to your cardboard method.
Star safe & well.
Ive been using food package boxes to make panels for a space ship I'm working on and a large space station.
Same for those card stock and paper credit cards from junk mail.
Great video. I never would have thought to add wood grain to cardstock.
That turned out better than I expected it to
Thank you. Very interesting. Hope you and your family say safe as well.
Magic as always!
This is SO good. Thanks, friend.
I just ran out of stuff to watch , you are my saviour Jeremy, thanks!
Edit: your wood painting technique with the black undercoat does wonders
Cara, muito obrigado pela aula. Você é muito talentoso. Muito obrigado.
I know you're probably never gonna see this, but for all of us in the comments, I found that using the edge of one of those small hobby files, the one shaped like a knife that comes to a tapered edge, and running it down a page of cardstock with pressure works super well to put in a deep wood grain.

Thanks for keeping up with the uploads
Thanks! Be safe y'all!
Fantastic video, can't wait to use this on a town notice board.
Awsome video dude!!! I made a cave enterence I would love to show you using only things I found in the back garden and the recycling bin. Do you have any advice how to make some moss, I'm looking to make overhanging moss at the top of the cave to finish it off
Thanks man this is going to help me a lot I'm starting my first set of dungeon tiles and I want to have some parts have wood to look like people have made it their base, and add some wood scatters too! Thanks man!
I love this technic!! Thanks.
Very nice!! I made all of my ships with this and look awesome!! The best way so you don't use to much hot glue and be faster is a double tape .
This video is so inspirational. I'm gonna go out to the store to buy a hobby knife and some foam and then eat some takeaway and go for a swim.
Thank you so much, I will try this for my modern dollhouse
Great video as usual, Jeremy. I have a ton (😁) of that kind of card stock. Just need to plan out what to build.

Yes! I'm glad to see a more in-depth tutorial about cardstock planks. May the Oats keep you safe.

The summoning ritual worked, nice.
Great to see you're staying active chief. Have you considered using a ballpoint pen for texture? It makes good indentations in card that can be painted over.
I'm probably really late, but an idea popped into my head. I thought back to that one house build you did with easy accessible tools. You had complained about how the foam you used looked too thick for the wood framing of the stucko.
While watching this I wondered if this technique would have made a good substitute, but thought it would be too thin. Then, I thought about chip board. The medium weight stiff Wylock always uses is thinner than the dollar store foam board, but thicker than the food packaging card stock. Could you use the scraping/scoring technique you used here on that chip board?
I might try it myself, though it's way too hot to be working in my garage.
