That apron gives at least 10 points for credibility

TIPS AND FAQ: Bonus Tip: Hit up your local hardware store that cuts wood and ask if you can fill up a bucket with sawdust. My local just ended up giving me a huge bag that hardly fit in my car. Enough for a life time or to start a small business. Bonus Bonus Tip: In order to avoid the awkwardness when they ask "what for?" say it's for "Hobby stuff, like model trains", everyone knows a weird guy who collects model trains. FAQ: When I mention quality paints, I'm referring to 'artist quality' paints (as opposed to 'student quality' paints). You want strong pigments and fast drying times if you want your flock to dry fast. Some paints are designed to dry slowly, some are designed to dry quickly. Do a quick google search and find out what paints are avalible to you and their drying times. I'm using Jo Sonja paints because they're fast drying and have strong pigments at about $6 a pop. Winsor and Newton paints have strong pigments and are designed to dry slowly. You can use house paint as well - generally strong pigments and fast drying. You can buy house paint in sample pot sizes, and while it's more expensive upfront, you'll get more bang for your buck long term.

After 40 years as a Model Train and wargamer, this is the first video that actually makes me contemplate making my own flock rather than buying it.

What I absolutely LOVE about your videos (besides your amazing skills and even better creativity) is this little "philosophical" touch you add to them. Its really mind-opening (at least for me) and motivating.

This changed everything for me. I'm annoyed with myself for not finding this video 4 years ago when you posted it. Thank you!

Just the mentality of "so what, you will make something better." is a huge statement about how you view the creative process. I love it.

The sifter taped to the bottom of the cup is freaking genius!

As always simple, clean and clear brother. Good work 😃 "If you can't replicate, you will make it better next time" Amazing Learn!

Your spirit is consistently inspiring. Like I love your creations, but I think the reason your chanel is so good, is the fact that you show how you enjoy the process, how you embrace your creativity, and how you take what could be seen as mistake, as a way to progress or as "happy accidents". I love your videos, man.

I just wish you had more videos! I love the way you shot and edited this. There are very few if any tutorial videos that I watch multiple times. And no other tutorial video that I have ever enjoyed rewatching as much as this. Pure gold! Keep it up and keep making content!

Great stuff I have found ink and methylated sprites drys really fast for homemade flock and looks really vibrant, also if you make blue/yellow/red ect and sprinkle on static flock you can make great wild flowers.

Loved your video. And it looks like I’m not the only one- I had to read all the way to the end of the comments to find a single negative one. Thanks for the great flock advice- I have never used it before, but now you’ve got me eager to try making my own. Have a great weekend !

I was thinking about this channel today. When I go check it up, BOOM, new video

Still have yet to make my own flock. Great vid!! Enjoy your process and editing man.

Excellent - been holding off flock making thinking I needed a blender. This technique is for me - cheers.

I have done this for a while now. Its so easy and the after an afternoon I can have an insane amount of tubs with every colour and scale imaginable. Also, I use cheap paints and if I need to I even water it down. I also do a little woodwork so I use the shavings from that. It looks great!

20 years in the wargaming hobby and I did not know you could do this, holy sell! You've saved me big bucks!

I love your philosophy of chaos and just experimenting. Keep up the great content!

Great video! I always struggle with getting the same colors for my flocking. It never occurred to me to just embrace it. Great work!

I like the look of your flock, it looks more natural than others and your landscape looks fab with that application. Sawdust is easy to come by and less time consuming, this method has a big thumbs up from me, I can see me using this

You just showed me the way to be better at my hobby and a way to make it unique, thank you

Really helpful as I've been spending lots on flock!

That cork flock looks perfect for making cherryblossom trees! Thanks for a great video.

Some ideas for future videos: - a wizard's tower - autumn trees - alien landscape with crystals/weird plants - mushroom forest - a small village with 2-3 different houses and a well or something

Thank you. Since watching your video I’ve really had fun making my own flock. I was so uptight before trying to get it just right. So stressful but now it’s really just fun.

Great stuff! Working on a batch tonight. Thanks for the video.

Saw your vid on the feed. Insta-liked. one of the best channels around. 10/10

Ok, a "how to," an explanation of "the reason why," a bit of "philosophy," some "inspiration" and over the top, high-quality production in less than 3 minutes? Yeah, this video is perfection!

Your video just gave me the confidence to make my own as I can see how easy it really is. And thank you for just getting straight to the point. You have no idea how much I appreciate that haha

Thanks for the great tip! I just made 6 unique colors whit left over paints ! Sooo good!

I was about to throw out a lot of old herbal tea bags of different kinds and put them on our compost pile. When I tore the bags open I realised that they were not to be thrown away. All different textures and earthy colours. I used them 'as is', just gluing them down. No need to paint them. I dabbed chalk powder in places for more light/shadow.

Best flock video I've seen in a long time

Great techniques, I’ll definitely use these!

Just FLOCKING amazing sorry couldn't resist. I think this is great for a couple reasons. Nothing against anyone that bud their flock. But the control of colors and satisfaction of doing it yourself is great. Also for those crafters on a tight budget save money for other things. Great channel BMC sent me over.

What 😮the flock!? I didnt know you could make your own Flocking!! Thats flocking awesome!

Quick and direct video .... subbed !

Wow, impressive, looks simple and effective, have to try it!

Great looking flock, I’m going to give it a shot!

Must have a go at this - enjoyed your video. Totally agree that just experimenting and not getting caught up on exact matches is the go! 👍👍👍

Bloody good mate.

Your terrain + philosophy series is my favourite thing on KZfaq, great video! You make it all look so easy

Found you the other day and immediately watched all your videos! Excellent stuff! I'm not sure if you still take video requests but I'd love to see some Tau terrain if you are!

That last line is such great advice! "If you can't replicate it, so what, you'll make something better." Great video and thanks for the advice. I'm just getting into the hobby, thanks for the content :)!

You are a godsend, flocking is really expensive in my country, so thanks a lot for this!

Brand new to terrain building and was godsmacked when I saw the price of the green grass looking stuff in my local hobby shop

the thing i like the most with making my own is exotic colors. like purple, blue and red for strange planets

Real cool... im guilty of buying cheap myself but i really enjoy seeing your methods as much as you message.. "go with the flow!... youll make better next time."

Megaa, das kostet kein Geld, da kann man jede Menge herstellen, einfach nur toll ,besten Dank für das Video

Got a huge bag of "flour" sawdust from a kitchen manufacturer. Because it's effectively sanded dust it's super fine and works perfect for n-scale. Such an easy way to make loads of ground cover with endless colour combinations.

This video was incredible and earned a sub. Thank you

As a beginner. I love the concept of being able to make decent flocking out of something like sawdust

Keep it up mate, great stuff

awesome video, someone shared this on reddit & i'm glad to find your channel!

WOW THAT WILL BE SOOOOO good to use i have never used flock and now that i now how cool it looks then cool, i well use the dark side of the flock master

That baking tray looks dank 420

Just a beginner no nothing. Looking to create my first table top for middle-earth sbg. This looks like a good start thanks

This is one of the BEST video in de KZfaq.

Awesome just what i was looking for, bud keep It up, love the videos!

Bloody excellent, as ever.

Wonderful video.

Flocking amazing!

That’s a really enjoyable and informative video

That's really cool & helpful thanks!

This was very validating and helpful. Thank you so much!❤

I tried and its just so easy and interesting. I had a hard time creating not so vibrant color

Game changing video sir thank you so much nothing is left in my mind about flocks😍😍😍

Can we get a look at the finished table you are working on in the end of the video? Keep it up

What pigments/hues are you using in particular? The tones and the shades fo your greens are so good, it looks amazing.

great video. I like the differentness of your content

"Sad Chaff" awwwww

Great video

Love ur video stile looks like u have a grate setup

Really inspiring. I will try it out. Thanks.

From Belorusia with love! Great video, man!

I am loving your KZfaq

"If you have a grater, anything can be flock" - Lol, that got me

love it

Love your videos

OMG THAAAANKS

Thank you❤

Never knew it was that easy!

thank, you for you're video.

This looks quite realistic! What green shade did you use?

"Alright, lets get the flock on with it" -My Grandfather

G’day- first up, thanks for sharing your skills with us mate, I’m also just curious if your an Aussie? I’m from central NSW myself

very nice helpful videos😊😊😊

Nice video. I was planning on buying some but thanks to you i can just make some at home gg

He's back! love this guys videos so much. So calming and informative

Great option, thanks :)

Can i use a dehumifider instead? Would it work since were looking to get rid of himidity?

well man, this is an awesome video 360°: awesome technique and advice...and awesome hobby philosophy!

thanks a lot

Thank you for another great video! I really enjoy your voice and the general calm you project. Since i began watching your videos i look at things a bit different and wonder how they could be used to create something cool. You mentioned quality paints, would the acrylic tubes found at the art store suffice? Or is there certain type required?

Haha cool! I been using pencil shavings 😅🎉

You my freind are a true insporation

I know this vid is a year old but thanks for the tip. There's a old saw mill near me wherevi can get buckets of sawdust for next to nothing or free.

How there. I wonder if you can help me. I came across your video because flocking kits were a bit expensive here in UK. I have a pair of black flock boots which were quite expensive and still fairly new. They are supposed to be faux suede. I spilled something on the toe of one so I sponged it with a damp cloth and now the toe is bald of flock. Will your method work if I seive it several times and what should I use to stick it on with please? Many thanks in anticipation, Brenda

Amazing video? What adhesive was used?

Nice
