How I make flock - super fast for instant usage

- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- While researching on how to make your own homemade flock for table top wargaming I came across the model railway channel called " Great Chesterford Junction Model Railway" (I told you it is a long name ;). On that channel I found a video on how you can use a coffee grinder and sawdust to make your own flock. As promised here is the link to that video. As there is a lot of talking and not so much action in that video I wanted to show how I do it.

*slams head on desk* UGH, it's so simple and obvious, I had been trying to figure out to get my hands on cheap flock and this was already out there! Thank you so much
You are welcome.
brilliant tip - thank you. So much better than having to buy lots of colours of commercial stuff. This is one of those secrets that feels awesome to know. Thank you
You are welcome
Just saw this video over the weekend and was inspired. Picked up a 3L bag of pine wood pet bedding and gave it a go. Worked just like you said, though a bit wetter, as I probably added more paint to get the saturation I wanted, but it is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!
you are welcome
while there i also picket up bird sand (vogelstreu) which is just fine&coarse sand sometimes with tiny shards of seashells
perfect for texturing ground tiles!!
Yeah that is some nice stuff too
I'm always learning new stuff. I make a lot of sawdust flock, but had never thought of grinding up pet bedding. Good tip
Wanted to find something new for the Video ;)
This is simply epic and awesome. Never had I thought of that, and I don’t think that something like this could have ever crossed my mind lol. Thank you very much.
You are welcome.
did it today.......it worked great
....thank you.......
you are welcome ;)
Good stuff!
Thank you Sir Bead
This is great and very useful. I will have to make my own flock. Thanks S!
You are welcome.
I would not have thought of an old coffee grinder. Almost makes me regret getting rid of mine, but that was like 7 years before I got into painting minis and figuring out how much stuff I can make on my own.
Thank you, you answered so many questions in this video
If you have a store nearby where you can buy wood cut to size those places produce vast amounts of sawdust and they throw it away.
Its really handy because such industrial saws vacuums up the sawdust into large trashbags. And they will typically just let you take the bags out of the dumpster behind the store free of charge.
😉👌
You can also use coffee grounds...just saw a DIY on pintrest for that...used coffee grounds that just go in the trash
Great tip and nice video. Gonna watch the others tonight!
Thanks ;)
Another source along same lines is wood pellets. Find at farm stores for livestock bedding and there's a pine variety for cat litter boxes. Wet it and it breaks apart. Dry in sun for a bit and voila, back to sawdust form. Often it is more uniform and smaller bits, not as many shavings.
Sounds great. Will try
Digging that you are mixing your own green
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome
Ecco perché la mia segatura non risultava così bella colorata!
Mettevo il colore nella acqua 🤦♀️
Amo la creatività, lo faccio per divertimento, e mi ci diverto un mondo 😅
Meraviglioso, complimenti 🎉 🙏grazie.
Grazie
Great tips! Definitely will be doing this in my future builds.
👍
Ima keep in mind the different shades of colors part, thank you for this, it was helpfull!
You are welcome
Love this channel
Thanks.
Great idea, got to give that a go, thanks for sharing👍🏻
You are welcome
Cool technic, thought about it once, but didn't want to ruin my coffee grinder. Started making my own flock by just sawing wood, different sawblades give you different grain sizes. But I recomend it only for small amounts of flocking. It might get a bit too exhausting.
I guess ;)
best prezented video on hole youtube .bravo
Thank you ☺️
For a source of really good fine sawdust just look up a cabinet maker that's local to you. They make kitchen cabinets ect. They will have a bunch of very fine sawdust perfect to make flock with that you'll get a bag of that will keep you supplied for years. Another cool flocking material is carpet padding this chopped up and paint added for color makes great flocking for trees and bushes. You can use an old food processor for this. Add your paint and you can spread it out on a cookie sheet and dry it on very low temps in the oven. Just a couple ideas you might like to try.
Will try some when i run out 😅
Vielen dank. Awesome video, thank you for sharing. Tschuss.
😅
Great tip! This will really help me bau my Welten. ;-) Thank you very much and you now have 170 subs.
😉👍
Fabulous! 👌
Thank you
I got about 20kgs of sawdust flour from a cabinet maker. It's the consistency of powder i.e. why it's called sawdust flour.
A great treasure you got there 🥰 what are you using it for mostly?
fucking master, mate. Well done u! Thanks a lot
You are welcome 😅

Very cool
Thank you
Absolut genial. Abo da gelassen. gespannt auf mehr :-)
Danke
Nice
viele dank!
Bitte ☺
Can you also grind sponge with a coffee grinder?
I tried it once but did not work. Destroyed my first grinder 🙈😅
You can grind up sponge but you need a blender, because you have to to add water. Wet sponge chops up nicely, and the longer you run it, the finer it gets.
I have see it. You get clump foliage and corse foam flock when you do that. Of couse with blender. Meat grinder also seems to work
👍
👍
Geil, ich dachte mir gerade noch "wieso nicht einfach Kaninchenstreu nehmen, wenn man keine Sägespähne über hat... dann packst du das aus ;D
😅
Ganz cool!
Really cool! The wood chip one would look great for stuff like barns/stable floors especially.
Question: Does the coffee ever get mold/ rot?
Not yet ;) it has a color build up. If you take a damp soapy brush you can clean it. (I am to lazy for that and just scratch it out)
@@WeltenbauerClub When I have made "Cold Porcelain" from PVA Glue & Corn Starch, part of the recipe calls for "Vinegar or Lemon Juice" to help combat mold. Wonder if a tiny bit of that would combat it for the most part? Also potentially baking it prior to the grind would too.
Maybe. I never had problems as I seal it in with watered down pva and clear coat. There is no more contact zu air and humidity which could make it go bad
Have u sued other things besides wood dust?
Only animal bedding
Do you have birds or it it a sound effect? If the latter it's really distracting 😢!
Its a sound effect . Maybe a little too loud 😅
You don't need it .just your voice is fine 😊
I agree. The weird sounds kinda distracted me. Otherwise, great info!
what is the dust
It is sawdust. It is from cutting wood
👍👍🧨
