Big thanks to the team at Trenchworx for letting us into their dojo and allowing us to poke around! Trenchworx.com to learn more! (There's a kobold and hobgoblin campaign that's wrapping up on the day this video is posted, check it out!) Also thanks to Casey from eBayMiniatureRescues for driving us to Salt Lake City and helping to film this vide and being my friend. 🙂
Thanks Brent and Casey! It was so awesome having you visit and an honor to get the Goobertown Hobbies video treatment about how we make things. Everyone in the shop is very excited and really enjoyed it.
Would love to see you do a video on how to best dispose of resin infected alcohol. I have switched to Simple Green and when it gets nasty, I filter out as much resin as possible and dump the simple green. This to me is a huge problem and needs to be addressed. Since you are my favorite Chemist/hobbyist I would prefer to hear it from you.
@@trenchworxmedia9401 I only have one question after watching the video. Who thought of the Buffy inspired names for the 3d printers? I love things like that (in the company i worked (IT) all backbone servers had mythilogical names)
@@Theexplorographer We collect all of our waste alcohol and waste rags and use Safety Kleen to handle the disposal. The rags and the alcohol are incinerated so that we don't contribute to landfill waste from our shop. We work hard to control our waste streams very aggressively to help keep our environment safe and healthy. Its a little harder for the home printer to have access to the commercial services that we have. Thanks for the question.
Thank you for making and posting this documentary, I have always wondered how the metal minis are made, now I know. Big thumbs up from Australia. Have subscribed.
The fact you hardly mix the resins and still vacuum them for several minutes perhaps confirms something I've long suspected: most of the gas is not from mixing the two parts together, but is present from the start in each monomer. Perhaps you could vacuum them before mixing so you don't need to vacuum so long once mixed, it could help with timings (although it seems you use the frothing for mixing!)
What a video! Going to Trenchworx was an absolute joy, I can't thank everyone there enough for the hospitality and sharing knowledge with us. Those goblins are looking mighty good too :)
Me: almost gives up on RUclips from the brain rotting shorts and fad based videos. Then Brent releases a long form video or a relaxing painting one. And my heart rate goes down and i learn something new or enjoy the thoughts. Thank you
The PBS comparisons keep coming. When I was a kid I would watch tours of places like crayon factories on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood and it was like having a mini field trip in the summer months in the morning. That’s what this was like! Thanks to Trenchworx for opening their doors for this! So cool!
I always love when you do these types of videos that go behind the scenes or get technical with something. Nobody else is really doing that kind of content.
Oh, and I completely forgot to mention the heros at trenchworx, I mean, *come on*, being this open about their process, letting someone roam around taking pictures, sharing everything, and really letting people know how the sausages are made, I just love to see pro’s at work like this, seint the whole process - and their contribution to the hobby, wonderful stuff :)
@ Well deserved floating indeed :) Personally I would love to see some videos about the ins and outs of the business and model making and production, you being a smaller «boutique» almost compared to the big ones -,it’s because of outfits like you guys smaller games and businesses based on them can thrive and offer alternatives to the established behemoths - and of course seeing the actual process, love seeing that :) Hoping to try my hand at casting some of my own sculpts in my workshop during the christmas break, just for fun though, but seeing how things are done on a larger scale also helps us small ones doing it for fun get a feel for the process, much appreciated :)
I said it before: there is no one more suitable to be 'let loose' in such an environment to discover and explain the behind-the-scenes of our hobby! I'm a big fan of the sustainable production techniques and hope, we will see more siocast here and there :)
I've been sculpting minis professionally for 15 years now. This is the video I'll be referring to friends who are curious to know a bit more about how the miniatures journey from my screen onto their gaming table. Excellent job to everyone involved!
Thank you for sharing the factory tour and process of how the miniatures are made. I appreciate the subtle Spanish Inquisition joke. Nobody expects it but it's always appreciated.
As someone who's interested into making molds for Flames of War tanks and cast them with metal I was pleased to get the confirmation that's quite a simple process
I lecture in product design and will be passing your video on to any of my students who are into minis as you lay out pros and cons etc wonderfully. Top marks!
I adore that your channel has that vibe of a learning TV show. You're more focused on the technical side of the hobby, as opposed to just painting. Great work Brent!!!
I'm one of those people who loves metal minis. A lot of the minis I learned how to paint with are metal, and there's just something satisfying about the level of heft they have.
First, I LOVE the stache! Although I'm familiar with all the miniature-making processes Trenchworx uses, I can't remember ever seeing these at a single business. I had no idea Trenchworx had such an extensive and diverse production facility and I really appreciate them letting us look behind the curtain to see them working. This is one of my favorite videos from Goobertown Hobbies! Thank you Brent!
Even if the details are not always as good, especially with older model lines, I will always have a love for pewter minis, the weight is just satisfying to me. I love the obvious handcrafting to many of them as well.
Absolutely loved this video. I love learning more about how we get our miniatures and the fascinating process it takes from conception to finalised product. Great video!
I work at a Laboratory Chemicals warehouse, and it's really interesting seeing their workstations and their storage solutions - I've worked at packing stations where I _wished_ I had that much space to spread my tools out. I did wince a little seeing that they're handling molten pewter in a T Shirt and gardening gloves though, and I hope they've got stuff like eyewash and first-aid kits at those stations!
I think my presence caused them to slip on safety a bit as they were constantly moving around the building and doing one repetition of each different thing... they definitely do have a heat apron at the metal casting area that folks were using, and there was a bunch of safety and first aid equipment around!
I love industry videos like this, thank you! As an engineer I really appreciate their workstation setups and how they've got a Kanban process to make sure the right products are prioritized. Very cool!!!
Interesting video. It was nice to see the method and cost comparisons. Also love how well laid out the work areas were. As someone who has had to work in poorly laid out areas it is good to see. I do some gravity fed hobby casting myself, and I have always preferred metal miniatures. Several years ago, I was a volunteer at a local library, and ran a teen D&D group. While most of the time I used prepainted plastic minis I had picked up cheap, I ran one session where I used old metal minis. The teens were really impressed by the weight they had.
You never got your tour while you were still in town! But next time you visit for sure. Catch up with us at Adepticon too. Have a great Christmas Darcy.
@trenchworxmedia9401 I knooooow 😩. BUT my husband is still goes to SLC for work every few months so there's a good chance I'll be able to visit sometime. Would definitely love a tour! And thank you, Merry Christmas!
@@GoobertownHobbies Did you see anything from Succubus Publishing while you were there? My partner works for SP and has communicated with Trenchworx before as part of her job
Learning that siocast is basically nylon is incredibly enlightening. I hate that you cant weld it but the recycling nature of it makes it competitive with metal for my tastes. I do love metal though.
Such a good video Brent, sorry it took me 3 weeks to watch. Your editing is unbelievable it's every bit as good on displaying the process and information as an episode of how its made. thanks for the work
Trenchworx are amazing! I just got their MCDM goblin box and the minis are great. The way they used resin and 3d-printing for different parts was super innovative. Can't wait for their next MCDM box - hobgoblins!
Whoa, Brent. This was excellent! Love this content. I did a minor in material sciences and one of the highlights of the course was a visit to an investment casting facility - clay and steel for tools, golf club heads and things like that. But nothing as precise as this work! Nice shoutout to Victoria Miniatures. Love those variants on GW's older Imperial Guard lines. More of this content, please!
I used to work at Privateer Press and I love the organization skills used here at Trench Works . Outstanding. And thank you for posting this video it really helps people who do not work in the industry what it takes to make your miniatures.
Thanks! Always appreciate when people understand all the little nuances of the communication systems. The goal is that no one in the shop has to talk about how to do their job. We talk about other things from Star Trek to Elden Ring and if we will ever see Henry Cavill in a WH40K film, but not what to do our how to do it!
Delightful, thanks to Brent, Casey, and Trenchworx! Fascinating to see how things scale. (And as a MCDM fan, hearing about trenchworx and seeing behind the scenes is really cool!)
This was the best video of behind the scenes miniature making that I've seen yet. It was great how they let you get so deep into the processes and costs
Enjoying this both as a mini fan and somebody who runs a very small but growing business making physical products. Trenchworx is seriously goals. Efficient workflows, and the quality of output looks great.
Really cool video, so thanks to everyone involved! I think im slightly mesmerized by the spinning of the metal casting, makes me want to just watch that for hours :D
Thank you for this video, Brent. I didn't think it was simple to create miniatures, but I had no idea just how much work was involved until seeing the Trenchworx team giving their blood, sweat, and tears to make us happy. It also makes it easier to understand why these things cost what they do on the consumer end.
Wow! The amount of access you were given is amazing. What's more amazing is how they use 4 different methods to make the same thing. I figured resin printers would dominate, but not yet. Thanks to all for this video!
Your best factory tour video yet! The side-by-side workflow comparison was a real treat for my lil' goober brain. And the production value on this video was awesome, so it was easy on the eyes, too! Just like the 'stache! haha... thanks for this Brent, these videos are always a highlight of my day.
Yes, but which material makes the best tasting villagers? Congratulations on making a really great video! And thanks for sharing it! A video likes this is helpful on so many levels- insight into the materials for hobby work, understanding the business/economics of it, and introducing people to a wider variety of companies and products. As a consumer in the gaming/hobby space, it's empowering to know more of what goes on in different stages of the supply chain (what fancy words I know!). Love to see this sort of thing and I know how much work it takes to put a video like this together. Hope you keep doing this sort of video from time to time!
@@GoobertownHobbies Yay! Looking forward to what's next! In a particularly shameless move, I'm going to share that we (the royal we... dragon's privelege) just did a video comparing the various materials from Reaper (with a bit of HIPS plastic in for good measure): ruclips.net/video/vRU6kk3iJaE/видео.html Hope you enjoy it!
Such a wonderfully detailed and well produced video, loving the details and thoroughness, this must have taken *ages* to make - you sir, are a hero amongst heros :) Great video :)
GREAT vid. I love your ejamikashunal videos. These BTS voyages are fascinating, and you present them so well. Shouts out, to Trenchworx, Goblin Minis, and all the others
Brent with a mustache, not what I was expecting this morning within the first ten seconds of the video! 😂 Edit: I feel like I should have mentioned, I'm digging the stache, just wasn't expecting it!
Mmmmm, delicious silver soup… 😆 Those are all really cool techniques to learn about! I continue to want to play around with more casting, I love the close-up look at the factory! And the switchable vacuum/pressure setup is ingenious!!! As soon as ye said, “the lid is then switched,” I was like, “HOLY GEEZ, OF COURSE!?!” Awesome, big thanks to everyone there for sharing!!! 🥰
Vacuum AND Pressure! The secret to bubble free castings. That and we are at 5000 feet above sea level in a high plains desert with very low humidity. Who'd have thought!
Thank you, this was really wonderful to see! I love getting to see the process behind the miniatures. I have friends who produce minis professionally, and I do a little resin casting and molding myself, but to see them do it on this kind of scale is really fantastic!
So cool to see all of this in action! In the long, long ago, I was a Lost Wax Casting professor, for non-ferrous metals, so this is absolutely fascinating to see. (I stopped painting completely to watch!) Thank you Trenchworx for letting Brent and Casey in!
I've had a few orders from Victoria minis that were produced by trenchworx. They are phenomenal quality. Truly! I thought resin was garbage because of finecast but when I got Trenchworx stuff, I pulled it out and said, "holy crap!" because it was so high quality.

"Something that ended up being just as interesting as model making was the set-up of the factory."
And that's why Goobertown is on a different level.
Indeed, Brent's quiet enthusiasm really comes though.
hehehehehe, it's pretty neat, huh? :-)
This is where "Operations Management" comes in. It's amazing how many companies don't understand how to run a production line.

I'm glad you like this stuff, I love it too! Don't worry, there's already more of this on the way ;-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Yay! Looking forward to what's next! In a particularly shameless move, I'm going to share that we (the royal we... dragon's privelege) just did a video comparing the various materials from Reaper (with a bit of HIPS plastic in for good measure): ruclips.net/video/vRU6kk3iJaE/видео.html Hope you enjoy it!
Such a wonderfully detailed and well produced video, loving the details and thoroughness, this must have taken *ages* to make - you sir, are a hero amongst heros :) Great video :)
aww glad you liked it!! :-)
GREAT vid. I love your ejamikashunal videos. These BTS voyages are fascinating, and you present them so well. Shouts out, to Trenchworx, Goblin Minis, and all the others
Goobs documentary content and Mustache Brent are my two new favorite things!
This is a great video! I really enjoyed the behind-the-scenes look at how miniatures are made. Thanks for sharing!
Brent with a mustache, not what I was expecting this morning within the first ten seconds of the video! 😂
Edit: I feel like I should have mentioned, I'm digging the stache, just wasn't expecting it!
This was really fascinating. The floor organization and workflows made me think of highly efficient restaurant kitchens.
right? the triangle of sink / stove/ bench in your own kitchen, plus that scene in The Founder all in one! :-)
This is truly an excellent deep dive into the behind the scenes of making minis. Thanks so much for making this!
thanks for checking it out, I appreciate it!! :-)
Mmmmm, delicious silver soup… 😆 Those are all really cool techniques to learn about! I continue to want to play around with more casting, I love the close-up look at the factory! And the switchable vacuum/pressure setup is ingenious!!! As soon as ye said, “the lid is then switched,” I was like, “HOLY GEEZ, OF COURSE!?!” Awesome, big thanks to everyone there for sharing!!! 🥰
Vacuum AND Pressure! The secret to bubble free castings. That and we are at 5000 feet above sea level in a high plains desert with very low humidity. Who'd have thought!
pretty clever, eh?? :-)
Thank you, this was really wonderful to see! I love getting to see the process behind the miniatures. I have friends who produce minis professionally, and I do a little resin casting and molding myself, but to see them do it on this kind of scale is really fantastic!
it's pretty neat, eh? :-)
This is the coolest video I've seen in a long time. I'm super into seeing all the "how it's made" stuff. Thanks so much Brent and Trenchworx!
Thank you!
Nice handlebars, Brent!
i LOVE that adgile dev has made it to the artistic fields
I LOVE THE PORN STACHE! Thank you for the video!
So cool to see all of this in action! In the long, long ago, I was a Lost Wax Casting professor, for non-ferrous metals, so this is absolutely fascinating to see. (I stopped painting completely to watch!)
Thank you Trenchworx for letting Brent and Casey in!
hehehe, hope you got back to painting afterwards! ;-)
Your Welcome! It was our pleasure.
Great video. Informative and well presented 👍👍
I've had a few orders from Victoria minis that were produced by trenchworx. They are phenomenal quality. Truly! I thought resin was garbage because of finecast but when I got Trenchworx stuff, I pulled it out and said, "holy crap!" because it was so high quality.
That's good to hear!! I got a nice order from victoria minis too before I even knew about trenchworx... but the kangaroo APCs look great! :-)
Warms our hearts to hear this! Thank you!
Crushed it on your thorough walkthrough. Thanks for the time and thanks to Trenchworx for the tour/cooperation!
I'm 100% team METAL!!!! Great video Brent!!
Very happy to see a new video.
Please keep doing these documentaries. My wife and I love these as much as your other videos.
Great work as always
