Just what we were looking for the best looking willow ever🤩
Here we go again!!! Good to have you back, Geordie!
I just saw this video pop up on my feed and clicked instantly - something I love about your videos is that you share more than most about your iterations and own learning in the process of making truly awesome models. Happy to see you back and hope life has treated you well in the interim. All the best :)
I love how you hide in plain sight what type of „model“ kept you busy. Congratulations 🎉
This willow is so weeping I could cry. Excellent work Geordie, hope you have been well!
Thanks Nick! Glad to be crafting again :) hope you've been doing well too!
Well done!! You not only came back after a break. You came back in a big way!!! That tree is beautiful and sets my mind to racing with ideas!!! Your tutorials are top tier stuff!! Thank you for this video!! WELCOME BACK!!!!!
I absolutely love how you leave in the thought making process of builds like this! Most videos make it seem like they have everything figured out from the start when in reality the process is a lot more complex organic like you’ve shown! ❤
Amazing!
Whomping willow ❤
"try and catch me howlin' at the moon" . Perfect!
This is so well made as per usual! Fantastic video, thanks for putting in so much time to deliver us this crafting wisdom!
"I stop to see a weeping willow/crying on his pillow..." Came for the tutorial, subbed for the Wilhelm Scream. The thread technique could be used to make hanging plants like Wisteria for dollhouse or model horse dioramas.
You're back!
This tree is awesome.
The Cotton Thread is A GREAT IDEA< How bout that idea for Some VINES??? With how you do this, and add small leaves or something like that! I LOVE THIS IDEA, I have to Borrow it, " hehe" you know.. GREAT VIDEO I learnded SUMTHIN!! SAVED IT!!! GREAT WORK!!!
Thanks so much! I plan on doing a vine video soon!
Yay, new fancy tree video from Geordie! That paste looks cool, tried making trees this way in the past (yes, they really are stabby) but I never found a satisfying coating for them. The fronds look great too!
I cant decide what is more impressive, your crafting, or your B Roll! Fantastic work!
I want to make a "willow" cherry tree, so this shape but pink, and... it needs to be something like 1 cm high, and I've started DIY 2 months ago 😆
Your creations are really amazing, it's impressive to see everything you master!! Your videos are informative and funny, I hope you'll feel like doing plenty more, or that you'll have time! You seem to clearly enjoy them 😊
It looks absolutely gorgeous! I'm happy to see a fresh upload.
Once I learn how to open the florist's wire package by hammering on it, I will try this too. If you have tips, please share :)
Good to see you back in action!
Haha just give it a few more whacks and it should work eventually 😂
Thanks for stopping by!
The willow tree looks amazing. My grandson says we'll have to have a go at making one at some point. we've also watched how you make rocks, which is something we may have a go at on our my grandson's 009 model railway he's planning to build soon. He will be posting updates on that when he gets going on his Dylington Model Railway channel. Where he's been filming his model railway, if you get a chance, have a quick look he's doing a great job of filming it. Anyway, we've just subscribed.....cheers James 🙂👍
This is the first time I've seen one of your video's, and I don't know how that's possible since I usually search for video's about how to make trees at least once a month. Regardless, I wanted to tell you what a wonderful job you did on this one. Very impressive and a super result.
Anyway, Geordie, i found your techniques absolutely inspiring, and I am definitely going to try this one out.
Glad for all the Canadian references even with the unseasonably warm year! I use the heat pump trick all the time!
Awesome build! Also, love the shots of Canadian winter. Insulated rubber boots ftw!
super coool method, and i love the box idea for making the vines
Very, VERY cool!
Canadian humour and foibles are the best.
Great to see you again! 🎉
I would love to see you make a South Florida slash pine. They can grow into cool shapes. Please keep making trees, they are beautiful. 🤩
Good to see you back!
Good to see you back - great video!
Wow! The best model tree tutorial I've come across
Thats great, def going to be doing this, thanks my fellow Canadian in the cold.
Very cool. Came out looking great. Have to check out more of your videos
I give this one a Total - 😮WOW😮
So glad to see you share some maker results with us again! Welcome back. Two things I took particular notice of: (1) the thread/flock technique (2) The Liquitex for helping to 'seal' flock to material - I struggle sealing flocking to landscape with watered down mod podge - very happy to see this suggestion. Thanks!
Fantastic job!
Geordie, I surprised myself by making that Cherry tree for my wife for christmas.She loved it. Now I have the confidence to make this willow tree. Thanks so much and keep the trees coming. Lots of fun.
Oh that's so lovely to hear! I'm glad it worked well for you 😊😊
Let me know if you have any questions about the willow!
@@Geordiecrafts Hello again, Am I right to say this willow tree is around 8 -10 inches high.Could it be made to be higher? Thanks, Jim
And I want to make this one! Off to haw to make a rock!
That is a cool Willow Tree i like it to !!!
Yoooooooo I am sooo happy that you are back
I thought you left RUclips
And tree looks very nice
Wow! Can confirm, jaws were dropped.
I am creatively stumped atm but I am SO coming back to your trees when I'm out of that hole.
I know the feeling of being in a creative slump. Hopefully it passes and you can enjoy making things again soon! Thanks for stopping by 😊
I've just begun watching I can already tell this is gonna be incredible! Glad yo see you crafting again!
You are the master of the trees!
Stunning! Love it
Epic. End of!
awesome to have you back, I love the production of your videos, you really make it feel playful and the crafting is as always on point ! great work Geordie :D
Brilliant
Amazing videos ! I subbed 😁 Cheers from another 🇨🇦 ... The shot with you in the trees made me laugh hahaha
This is so cool, going to be using some of these techniques in the future! Thank you for the video!
Best tutorial on making a weeping willow. :)
Absolutely brilliant :) Thank you for sharing
Miss I have to say this build is absolutely mental … brilliant work
I'm glad to see you're back! You do good work, and you've been missed!
Such a great video! You're the best out there! ❤️
Well I came here cause the last video I saw of you building a tree was freakin awesome and I wanted to see that again! You definitely didn’t disappoint!!!
Well done!
Went thru your older vids and what I saw was amazing! Looking forward to future projects!
So happy to see another video from you!
With those brad nails - the nailgun has a depth adjust next to the trigger. I wonder if you could do that faster by mis-using the depth adjust 😅
Such a good looking tree!
Thanks! I did try that on another piece of scrap and it still went in a bit too far to be usable for this haha. It didn't take too long to hammer them anyway 😊
Wow! That was a lot of work. But worth it. That tree looks fabulous
Well done, thank you!
Weeping Willow is my favourite tree, you really nailed it. Love the project and the video, great editing! Just fantastic.
Thank you for the inspiration.
This was good thanks, loved the last tree video and already made one of those. Not sure if I can bring myself to making a weeping willow... but if I do I will be back to watch again!
That is a truly beautiful piece for any table. I am absolutely going to have to make one.
I’m so excited to watch this!!!! Happy to see a new project from you :)
(I’ve watched it twice)
Woww!! Love your work! So creative! Your tree looks so real! Thanks for sharing!
Looking forward for more of your videos! 😊

Happy Modelling
Mon from down under
What a creative and wonderful work...with nice explanations!👍👍
Awesome thank you
I'm happy to see you back here :). Have a wonderful day.
You are finally back!
That’s magnificent.
very amazing results👍
excellent!
thanks!
Just found your channel, I’m so impressed and awed by your work!! Subbed and liked immediately 💕
Yeeeeey! Gordie made a new video!! 🎉Thanks for sharing ❤
Wooow👍 Thank you for this super Video. This is a great guide and the weeping willow looks fantastic. 🤗 Bye Frank
Wow, exceptional quality (content and editing too)! Again! You set the exceptations high with the former videos, but Im never dissapointed here. Thanks for this!
Wow, what an amazing video, both in content and production. Tree looks amazing too, lol.
Excellent work! Weeping willows are among the most difficult trees to make in my opinion. I tried doing it with dyed feathers once but I wasn't sold on it. I love your work thanks for sharing!
Trunk is great. Leaves hidden all your hard work.
très réaliste bravo 👋👋 un bonjour de Bordeaux en France
Nice idea 🔝 💡
Bravo...super tutoriel et surtout belle réalisation, Merci
I sub now, you very good, girl. love your work too, and sense of humor as well. your video editing skills are wow
Very good to see you back. I've enjoyed (and learned a lot from) your videos in the past. My model railroad will have a farmhouse scene that screams for one of these in the front yard. So let's see- .138"=1 foot x 40=5.520" or about 140 mm.
