Good job and project thx for sharing

my 1-3yr old niece nephew live in ROUND ROCK I can make one for each nail to them and they can paint them TYVM

That's a good tip about putting the little piece of wood to hold the pillar

Nice job, you make it look so easy.

"Use Elmer's. I don't care, it all works the same probably." Good stuff.

If you want your brads to be effective, you can use the 3 angle method carpenters use in house studs. Slightly angle the brads when you put them in. On a thin board like this, point one towards one corner and another towards the other corner. They can be spaced out, but they form sort of a 'v' shape. Now the movement, vibration and expansion of the boards will not dislodge the brads. Personally, I use staples more than brads. Same gun fires both and I am only wild ass guessing (WAG) that the long staples hold better.

Nice artwork on those you were showing at the end for a future video. I can see how people would gobble those up at a craft fair. Oh, and curiosity got to me and I looked up what epeius means - is this roughly the meaning behind it? "The horse was built by Epeius, a master carpenter and pugilist."
