For anyone who'd want these to be a bit more stable, you could easily carve out a small hollow on the underside of each vertical part of the frame and glue in some 5mm fishing weights before adding the cardstock base.

Glad to see you’re going “back to basics”. Loved the video man. So many of the channels I’ve enjoyed over the years have changed so drastically most don’t even “build” anymore. It’s just 3d print or short videos with no talking. Just watching and having you talk gives that feeling of “friendship” ya know, like you’re standing here talking to me on how to do it. Seems some channels got some clout and sponsors and forget who put them in that position. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks Man! Always so great, so no-fuss, no muss...Really appreciate it!

Great tutorial. I love the recycling of off-cuts from the foam and wood sticks.

For rust I love using orange and brown pastel crayon dust, it’s subtle, and give a great effect.

Still love you man, best crafting channel on KZfaq. Do traps!!! More traps!!!

Thank you for starting over.

Love the back to basics approach! Refreshing and simplistic. Do we really need the door to swing open? Nah. Def gets the job done, thank you Sir! Video saved!

These are almost exactly how I make my doors! But I screw a flat head screw into each side pillar from the bottom to help add weight and stability. I’m loving this ‘back to basics’ series!

Nice! Scatter terrain might be useful: chest, barrels, treasure piles, misc piles of weapons or armor, etc. Thanks for the video!

Pretty darn cool Wyloch! I love the simplicity of it! I think even I could do this! \O/ I don't think I'd of ever thought of using a piece of cardstock in the middle to mount the doors on. That's a stroke of genius! Simple and elegant!

Traps would be awesome!

One does not simp Wyloch in to more doors.

thanks for being so...Wyloch! I think everyone who watches you will know what I mean.

Wow, your channel is treasure hoard for this hobby!

thats some quality real fake doors! nice job

Doors!!! More doors! Excited to try these!

Mate, you are my craft hero! Thanks for that back to basics!

Doors: the bane of many players' existence.

Doors .... Doors... and Mordor. MORDOR! Build me an army worthy of Mordooooooooor!

Thank you for this Noble Guildmaster, will go perfectly with my custom Dungeon Bowl field

Hills or Mounds, and if feeling frisky, trees or at least "stumps" to signify trees

Love the back to basics series.

The king of terrain

Im interested to see how you tackle making organic shapes for tiles. these are awesome and helpful and I think It would bee cool to see your technique to make clearings, swamps, etc using your newfound techniques

Love to see your channel so active again! Thanks for the videos!

I love the not wanting to bother with magnets approach. Too much effort and time. If a player is rocking the table too much, a bit of poster tac on the bottom works.

Looks like scenery for Heroes of Qalanor RPG... great stuff

I guess I am making a few doors now... great video!

For a lot of doors like this, you might be able to use a piece of the chipboard or cardstock between 2 foamcore sheets with a similar look for it when you don't have the strips, might end up slightly sturdier as well with a single piece for the arch rather than joins for the corners.

Obviously gonna need Treasure Chest / Shelves with loot. Other stuff i found I use a lot for my Games is Pillars / Trees / Logs / Barrels / Rocks pretty basic stuff but they go a LOOOONG way for versatility and can be put almost any where.

I see these back to basic videos are following the saying "When one door closes, blast it back open again." And I love it! Looking forward to your traps next. Maybe have included a "secret door" in case the party found one

another great video! Also, if you had a shirt with some play on words like "Wyloch's Armory: Found on the back of most legal pads" I would 100% buy it

You have a gift sir of making awesome things and simplifying them for newbies like me! Thank you!

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

I love this channel so much. Always awesome. Thanks!

In addition to your passion for the hobby & your skill, I love the consistency of your descriptions of stuff. “It’s the stuff you find at the back of a legal pad” is consistently used and it’s great.

I love that you're starting over from the ground up. It's all going to look fantastic!

Great use of the tapered sticks!

Hooray for back to basics!

Love seeing these!

Good straightforward stuff.

Stairs. Loved the video

Great video! I love “Back to Basics”! This project is simple and elegant. Keep ‘em coming.

I've always loved your gradient painted 2.5D stair wells. I'd be intrigued to see a new take on them in this style.

This episode has opened a lot of doors for me

Easy and nice doors. Cool tutorial video!

Tavern furniture would be great! Been thinking about building a tavern.

Always good to go back to the basics from time to time, bashing a quick and easy project in a few hours really gets me back on track for the more advanced stuff.

This back to basics approach is exactly the tutorials I would look for if I was just starting out, or skint or if I was fed up with the elaborate accurate stuff and skint…this is really refreshing and no kidney selling required.

Extremely useful. Good simple tips with an extraordinary turn out!!! Sometimes we tend to over complicate and over look the simplicity of creating 😩🙌🏻

I completely agree with the back to the basics remarks, as those are what started me off in this wonderful crafting world.

You could always make like a 2x2 square floor tile to show that a hallway goes out from the archways without revealing too much.

Thank you!

If you were to make a "c"-shaped clip the width of the door (perhaps using soda-can aluminum?), you could attach the doors to the sides of the tiles pretty easily without significant instability. I recognize that you don't necessarily care that much, but the idea might be useful for someone else watching.

Great Job!

I would like to see your back-to-basics staircase or elevation change pieces.

To keep my tiny props stable I just glue them to washers paint black. This creates a "webbles wobbles but wont fall down" arrangement. Like the old clown punching bags.

Lovely video you put together thanks for sharing DD.

Awesome display of material conservation! Maybe make a doorway with the portcullis up? As for room deco, show us how to make a owlbear skin rug…

These doors are...wait for it...A-DOOR-ABLE! (Sorry. I had to channel my inner David G.) LOL! Love these doors though!

Love this simple approach. I've had doors on my to-do list forever. Time to bump them up.

For the stability, the first thing that popped in my head with that design is two nails through the chipboard. Seems to work pretty well with my stuff. Other essentials Higher terrain bits (i.e. two story builds, like a box and things on top for people to shoot down from) LoS blockers barriers pedestals broken industrial age/steampunk/wrecked old world stuff - to show that the dungeon dates to an earlier time. Stairs overgrown monster plants (people eaters) pits, fires, hazards,

Back to basics video playlist created!

For starting over its looking good keep it up my friend!!!

Fun video! I am enjoying the “relook “ at the gaming table videos

I like the hinges. Waste-not-want-not The rounded end of the craft picks work really well with the loop handle; it adds a nice splash of style to the doors.

Stairs with landings and secret doors!

Not a table top gamer myself, but I like to make dioramas. I always find great tips & tricks from TTG maker channels like yours.

really cool, I just did my dungeon tiles using last weeks video. Doors are next!

Love the "Back to Basics" direction! Thank you for all your posts and great videos! I am addicted to traps, so...

Love it!

Jim Morrison would approve

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Man's is using the whole ass bison with the stir sticks on the door

Simple solution for weight, if you want. Just scew in a couple of flat head wood scews (cheap) into the left and right door pillars.

I would suggest just making the base wider. Since the base is thin, just color the base like the tile and use a rectangular piece. So a 1" scale tile would have a 1" on wither side of the door. The overlap shouldn't be noticeable and it should cover up the crack between tiles when joining tiles together.

YES! Sooo glad youre back to these videos! I dunno if you remember me but i have some of your very original extras you sold several years ago! i use them with all of my own that you and DMGinfo inspired me to make! Keep it up sir and know youve helped to change the hobby for me and many more people!

Thanks for showing how to do this. I'm just getting started lol

I adoor this idea.

I really like these simple doors. The only critique I have is that the top part, above the door, should be either arched with a keystone or a solid lintel of either stone or wood. Mortared smaller stones lack structural integrity if done like your design. In the case of an arch the keystone in the center provides a spot to distribute weight. A large stone used as a lintel would be strong enough for bridging a door-sized gap if the surrounding wall is properly load bearing.

You are the best!!

Would love to see a Lustria/Jungle (Warhammer) style build!

Awesome!

Great video! My suggestion is this: go with traps, but not just dungeon traps. Set up some deadfall/snare type traps for forest, pit traps for sand environments, and avalanche traps that might be cool

I have two games one called deepwars the other called ShadowSea. In both games you can have sunken ships, submarines, the game is in the 1600’s. Ships on the banks. Giant mushroom forest, pyramids, carcass of dear sea creatures, hydrothermal vents, crystals, sunken civilization, or ruins, pyramids like in Central America, coral, Lava, there is not a lot about underwater terrain.

I really like the wood stain style of door painting.

Bonus Tip: If you can't source XPS foam, you can create a similar effect by stacking two layers of foamboard with the paper peeled. As a bonus, this also adds a bit of structural stability (since the sides and top are all connected instead of glued), and easily allows for more complex shapes (such as arches).

I love these new tiles and the doors look fantastic! I'd like to see how you do traps or stairs in the new style.

In honor of such an intro to the video: grapple grapple, grapple grapple? Grapple. GRAPPLE! (Some backstory, my group in Databases this semester were tasked in creating our own database. We could use the example from class, or base it off of something. Nobody knew what or which to model it off of, so I took charge (which everyone was more than happy to not be in charge) and said "we're doing Metroid Prime!" which only 2 of them knew about. To speed this story up, in Databases you have Entities which you can think of as "things", so the player is an entity, doors are an entity, etc. And there are relationships, you can think of these as verbs. So a "player" entity has an "open" relationship with a "door" (and yes, I phrased it that way on purpose) because a player can open a door, and a door is opened by a player. Well, when we got to the grapple hook... we kinda went off the rails. Here we go: Samus (the player) has the relationship 'uses grapple' with her upgrade entity 'grapple hook'. The 'grapple hook' entity then has a 'grapples' relationship with a 'grapple point' entity. Finally, the 'grapple point' entity (for the sake of memes' has a 'grappled' relationship with the 'biome' (think of as 'room') entity. In essence, Samus uses grapple grapple hook and grapples grapple point which is grappled by biome. OR in short: grapple grapple grapples grapple grappled.) Oh, we got a 100 btw. It was a semester long project, but it turns out when you make a Database twice as complex as anybody else in the class, uhhh, the graders overlooked minor errors and said "good job!"

I have an idea as to where this amazing new crafting will take us, and I am very excited for the project to continue!

Great video. I love your work.

Oh. That intro is just "A-door-able". Keep it up.

One can always learn new stuff by redoing basics. This turned out great! :D

Pretty awesome. And I'd think some kind of modular features you can lay on the tiles would be awesome as a future project. Like rugs, some of those stairs like you did recently with the airbrushed 3D effect. As well as some scatter terrain like treasure piles, bones, broken weapons, cast off shells/skins etc. Hope you have fun with the reinvention of your craft. I know it's always refreshing to go back and reinvent the wheel every so often.

Love this channel so glad to see the basics being showed.

Watching your videos on making new tiles, doors, and other general items for D&D has made me wonder about something else. I've seen a lot of 3 dimensional board layouts for Heroquest over the years. Not sure if you are a fan of the game. But I'm curious as to what you would do to build a custom 3D board layout for Heroquest. Might make a good video series. Might not. But it was a thought I felt like sharing.

holy craft haven't seen one of your videos in months

Love the videos. Just subscribed. Thanks

These look Awsome!
