Bill: "..if you're into steampunk.. you weirdo." Also Bill: "I make my own rivets."

FYI those were my best pair of underwear. Some people are so unappreciative 🤦🏻‍♀️

I always appreciate the world building that you do while painting.

Your stuff just oozes character, I love how much imagination you put into it before you build.

The people at the local charity shop probably think Bill is the worst father ever - "Can't he buy his children one new toy? Or at least one that's not broken and full of teeth marks?" "Maybe he's poor, like so poor he can't afford balsa wood even." "Pity. Maybe we should take a collection and get his children something?" "No, this isn't the Christmas episode." "I wonder if he has a cat?"

Just gonna list a few things I liked or noticed while watching: 00:56 that zipper-mouthed tree topper... who is he? 10:30 why do I even bother doing partial brick montages... bravo to your full load 16:17 I am deeply intrigued by gravy granules 17:30 tin foil timelapse 🏆 I enjoyed your biggest lore dump you've ever taken on screen, learning about inselbergs, and of course this visual feast of a build

For someone who's says he doesn't enjoy painting, your stuff certainly comes out looking boss. Cracking stuff.

Just as I'm looking for something to watch, up pop's Cat, watching his staff making stuff! Get well soon dude.

🎶It is beginning to look a lot like Beadmas, Everywhere Bill goes If you are looking for two big beads, I hope they're not what you needs, 'cause Bill has stuck them up his nose 🎶 If you roll the silver foil over the EVA Foam before cutting it up, you might find it a bit easier. The build, the animation, the sound effects, the narration, the cat; they are all absolutely wonderful.

That turned out amazing Bill! Really enjoyed the big hot lore dump, looking forward to hearing more about your world!

I teach a junior high/high school art class and i introduced them to your videos and they all loved them and we dance along to the music ☺️ can’t wait to see more of the awesome stuff you create!!

Bill's Story Time is the highlight of every episode for me and has inspired me to pick up a little sketchbook of my own. Also I love Respite but I gotta say I'm rooting for The Rusters in this one.

Thanks for making this one, Bill - sorry you have been under the weather. Around here, that cold lasted 3 weeks to a month, wasn't the 'worst' one, but it sure stuck around... extra "likes" awarded for using the word dilapidated (Today's word is "DEE-LAPIDATED"...) Your show has just become "educational" by doing so. NEAT building! Maybe you should craft up some Respite Ale, maybe an IPA...home brew... Wow, a possible second "holiday-time" episode? Exciting! :D Hi, Cat. xoxox -Volt

This video makes me really grateful for being able to breath out my nose. Also never stop your montages, we love them! Fantastic video/build as always Bill, I really enjoyed the lore bit during the painting! I don't envy you gluing all those bricks on, but the end result was well worth it!

2:47 Bulldog clips to hold open your sketchbook? That's brilliant! I am going to start doing that too. Thanks for improving my life Bill. 🙂

This came out pretty bad ass! You're definitely a master of trash. The video too was really well put together and despite your hatred of painting the results are impressive. I always get ideas when I watch your videos. Very well done man. Sausages! : ) The lore is also so much fun.

Your recycling skill is at maximum level. I have seen few people as good as this. Congratulations! I'm starting to really appreciate your videos.

The artist sketch book and drawing/ trying to get a few ideas down first is so under rated.

Damn Bill! This Inn turned out so good. Happy Holidays in case you dont get that Christmas Episode in. CHeers!

Man, I am working creating my own little channel and you are a huge inspiration. I am sure my production value will be far less, but I'll do my best. The thoughtfulness you put into the lore and the design combined with the snark and humor strikes an excellent balance. Thanks for letting us share in your creations!

You can get XPS foam from B&Q or Wickes etc. 6mm foam is usually used for under floor insulation, and thicker foam is used for roofing insulation ("Kingspan" or "Celotex" is the branded kind with foil glued on - you just need to peel off the foil to use a hot wire). Just head out to the scary warehouse part of the big DIY store, you'll find it all in the racking in 4"x8" sheets - alternatively click and collect! If your local doesn't carry it, order in bulk online to maximise value on postage!

I'd call you creative. And because of that a creative tip for the corners of your cardboard builds: cladding. Just take your favorite cereal box or some other thin cardboard and glue a stripe around your corners. Voila! Every odd seam or corrugated corner is well hidden. PS: I LOVE Respite. These Buildings are on point!

"Now this thing is an old cartridge for some sort of firearm, sent to me by an American. Ah, bit of a cliche." As an American that seems oddly appropriate. Really enjoying the builds for this fictional little scarp town. Scatter terrain would be really cool, or some small huts left over from the Rusters that they lived in once. You should check out the game Forbidden Psalm: The Last War if you like some ramshackle post apocalyptic fun.

Obsessed with the sound design in your videos! That brick montage rocked must’ve taken a while to do but so satisfying!

I’ve watched this video multiple times. Fantastic build. Love the lore. I really like the unfolding narrative. Very cool.

A masterful build, sir. I am in the US and have access to the cheap, peelable dollar store (4.7mm) foam core board, which has become my go-to material for tabletop gaming structures, but I have recently turned to 100% trash builds for my terrain, using corrugated cardboard as a substrate for the buildings. I find that laminating two layers of corrugated cardboard together with the flutes PERPENDICULAR to one another using copious amounts of hot glue can create surprisingly sturdy walls, roofs, and floors for tabletop buildings. I then join the pieces together at right angles using more hot glue and butt joints with the layers connecting in a herringbone pattern for crisp corners and superior strength. They have a touch of flex without feeling wobbly or flimsy, and durability and warp resistance are good. Keep up the fine work, and merry Christmas…

"old plank look" - my dress sense in 3 words, thanks Bill! Great build, love it, and the lore dump was fantastic - scatter terrain vid would be ace!

Never apologize for bricks, rivets, or animation 😊 I love that Bill Making Stuff is more than just making the awesome builds, but also making the top notch videos, making a new world, a great story, and a fun community. The progression of the painting and story telling brought this Inn to life, so cool to watch!

Fantastic work, Bill. Your builds and stories keep getting bigger, better, and more intricate. You're a wonder, never stop making stuff.

The signs at the end were very well done, especially for someone who doesn't like painting

Gotta say this is the first video of yours I have seen and I just know that I’m gonna love all of your stuff. I love the silliness in the video and the build just has so much flavor. Gonna definitely have to pull inspiration for some terrain in my games.

"Yep here we go, here's a brick montage" Bill, you are a wondrous soul. Never change

FYI, kingspan is an insulation board sold in all builders' merchants. Comes in many different thickness, just peel the foil from the front and you have a very usable XPS foam.

Very inspiring build. Since watching this video this morning I have glued a toilet roll tube inside another toilet roll tube. I think the natural progressions will be to start my own YT channel now.

Enjoy the holiday crafting.

Those spiked wheel tracers are used in sewing to transfer patterns on to fabric too.

One day I went to throw out the trash, but the trash was empty, and Bill's wild patreons were around

Big Bill's big build takes a big time. Get well soon!

I loved the colors both before and after the paintjob!

Bill you're a legend to us all. I love seeing stuff you make! It's also kinda bonkers that you make a living putting trash together in your attic and we watch and Pau you to do it! Keep it up we love you!

Looks great, Bill! I live for these lore dumps!

Looks excellent Bill.

SO excited to watch this after I’m done with my studying! A perfect reward!

Endlessly in love with your creations!!!

gorgeous center piece of terrain!

hey!! hello, i think ive never commented before but i would LOOOVE to see a sketchbook tour, i think all of your creations are fantastic and also i cant help but notice how cool are your drawings too!!! Btw, i love how you edit and also your work place, everything is just so artsy

Absolutely freaking incredible!

I constenly find myself trying to upvote your videos after I've already upvoted it, due to your content, editing, and comments man. Pure gold Bill, love you stuff.

This was entertaining. Thank you mr. MakingStuff.

Best build yet

God I love your videos! This has got me thinking about ideas for Ruster terrain with buildings on wheels built entirely of scrap from the junk mountain.

Looks amazing

These long videos seem so short. I love your work Thank you

A residential building with interior would be cool. Put some mini inside and with a removable roof.

I love the little time-lapses / montages ❤

Another great video & build! I very much enjoy these longer form videos, I just get to sit & chill while crafting instead of finding new stuff every 8 minutes. Its my chill time with Bill 🤣

Watching all your episodes you developing the story behind the junk planet is like watching a scifi crafting series. I already feel like a member of the Respire community, like a citizen of that junk town. It's feels comfy and peaceful like comming home after watching other crafting vids.

Really enjoyed that! Scatter terrain sounds like good fun too

That brick building montage was ace

I always look forward to another awesome build & performance by cat, and I guess Bill helped a bit. Might be able to kill 2 stones with 1 bird with some "christmas" themed scatter terrain! Maybe the colonists have their own version of a holiday like "Rustmas" or something with a much better name than that, with metal trees decorated with even more metal bits, or wooden crates that say "Do not open until Rustmas" which would also make for good all-year pieces. Love ya, Bill! Keep it up man.

Love your builds and your Video Style in general. I could listen to you all day. You're somewhat of a Not-so-much-older-than-me story telling uncle

I love the lore! Keep this linked stuff coming. I love to see it take shape along with the history and lore you’ve created. Very inspiring!

That was a loooong video! And I enjoyed every minute of it 💜 The "INN" and the backstory are amazing!

I loved the lore dump. Really drew me in!

I would love to play a DnD game set in your world accompanied by your scrap build tabletop sets! The lore definitely makes it stand out and it looks awesome!

I can watch your "Town of Respite" videos on a loop, they are that entertaining to me. Also provided some motivation towards my "Shantystacks" town project for This is Not a Test.

Excellent work, Bill! Always nice to see more of Respite coming together... or falling apart... either way it's always great to see you work. Hope you're better soon!

I get a big fuzzy blanket, my bunny slippers, and a cup of cocoa and cozy down for Billy's Story Time. That's some dark lore there. Your world building is one of my favorite parts of the show :) Does Respite have other civil amenities? A firehouse? A YMCA? Some sus secret society clubhouse?

Have to say Bill you have been such an influence for me to get back into miniature gaming and making terrain and scenery. I like you am a fellow rust fan, IN RUST WE TRUST! I use to play Nurgle 40k, and every one of my little dudes was unique and individual, covered in rust,.pus, open sores.. As someone who has a healthy imaginaation that army was excellent to collect. Tonnes of kit bashing and green stuff. I became v good at painting rust. So I am kinda drawn to your channel. Thank you Bill, genuinely. Thank you for giving me back something I love.

I like how you did the intro sequence

Loved this build and the lore dump. Just watched several of your older videos after recently finding your channel through Studson. It's great fun to watch your little town grow. Wishing you and your family happy, healthy holidays 🎄

SLAP ME IMPRESSED! That was worth the wait. Just brilliantly done, and filmed. I love the sketching bit at the beginning too. Would you consider making some people and robots to add to the buoldings. Postmaster, innkeeper etc. Thanks Bill for a wonderful video.😆

I’ve been having a pretty rough week, and struggling to motivate myself to work on and finish painting a big piece of terrain I was working on, so I mean this when I say this video was so helpful. Your vids always make me smile and laugh, and always give me ideas and help push me to work through my projects. Absolutely beautiful video and build, and it’s already one of my favorites

This is amazing and I LOVED the lore dump.

Get better soon!

One of the best builds yet Bill. Great stuff!

this is so wonderfully made and entertaining

Loved the lore dump, very cosy, it's nice how it gives context to the thing you made and the design decisions behind it.

I really enjoyed that, thank you Bill!

Awesome build Bill! Both the house and the video!!

Awesome build Bill! Scatter terrain would be mint!

Love seeing the whole process! Another awesome building for Respite!

What an upgrade in your painting style ! Thanks for the story too :D We are waiting to hear more ! Hope you're feeling better meanwhile

Very cool build and I enjoyed the lore.

Brilliant build Bill. Painting looks fantastic. Merry Christmas to you all.

Brilliant

Wow! That looks fantastic mate!

Watching your videos reminds me of one of my favorite kids shows, Crashbox. I really appreciate the content here and the feelings it brings.

Deck the halls with piles of cardboard, fa la la la laa la lallallaa~ Seriously though, the build looks epic, and I wish you quick recovery.

If YT were just for hobby stuff and there was something like a video of a year poll --- yea, this would win. And you would win it every year in the future. If this was a good planet with reasonable people I mean.

This build is amazing, and I quite enjoyed the longer story time with Bill!

Thumb up and kudos for brick and rivet montages.

Man, this video is great! Nice job making all this while sick!

Love the build and the lore dump. A+

wow! this is really incredible, Bill! i look forward to watching more of your videos! thanks for sharing!

Turned out amazing! I really like that parts reappear in the different buildings. Really brings everything together.

I LOVED thT lore dump! I love stories in general and that one is so fitting for what you make! Love it and love your work!

Absolutely love it mate. Really proper piece of kit right there! Cheers

"Maybe you can probably make it yourself if you want to." Took me entirely too long to work out that Bill wasn't talking about setting up in XPS foam manufacture.
