Hi, thanks for stopping by, I build things here: mainly little models, marble runs, and anything else that might fit in that category, or that just catches my eye, (basically I try and post the wooden model videos twice a day. I generally aim to keep my videos in the 10-20 minute range and hopefully they are informative as well as entertaining. Anyways, thanks for reading, feel free to leave a comment or question in any of the comments sections and I'll try and get back with you.
You’ll also occasionally see shorts featuring my dogs, I think I’ll try to post these on Saturday, they aren’t trained or really do any tricks…but we still manage to have some fun, and look cute to boot.

Tonecheer Cyber Game City 3D Puzzle-Unboxing-Step 1
I picked up another of these Tonecheer sets, the last one only took a couple of days and I think it turned out really nice, so I wanted to do another.

I found these popping up on my feed a couple of weeks back and I thought they would be a nice blend of the complicated builds and quicker than the usual dollhouse builds…after the first day I’m not sure, but we’ll have some fun figuring it out, I hope!

For my next build I'm going back to a ROKR marble run, they have always been good for me, the instructions are usually pretty clear and well illustrated, and I like building these puzzle/model type contraptions. This one has a possible link system with the previously built Marble Night City, so I have ordered that and hopefully it will be here in time to ease right into that as the next build.

The double-sided tape was confusing for me to figure out. In case it is not mentioned elsewhere, peel off the first protective layer, and place sticky-side down on the plastic part (with other protective layer pointed up). Then, peel off that protective layer, leaving a tape residue. Do this in several spots, for as much coverage as possible. Press and hold firmly when affixing to the wood part.
How cute is this!! I saw something similar on Temu (speaking of China) but it was a book nook and I think it was called Flynn’s arcade
You are moving along like speedy Gonzales on this one. Maybe because you built the similar one time ago.
Nice little peice, great change of pace ,looking good, amazon definitely aren't the cheapest but convenient.
Wow, you motored right through putting several pieces together tonight. It must feel satisfying after the last project, which required about an hour each time to build four teeny tiny pieces. Congrats on that.
Thank you for your help! The depth is really nice!! <3
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by!
Looks really good although a bit fiddly at times. Will have to try one of these soon.
They are just tiny, it takes some getting used to, but everything else is just the same as any dollhouse build.
So freakin cute, you did an awesome job! I love your handy dandy tools to build your teeny tiny pieces, you’ve got quite an arsenal … feel better 🤧
Thank you, I've just accumulated my "arsenal" over the years, I guess it's an advantage of being somewhat of a pack rat. 🤷
The switch on those types are a bit hit and miss and some times that come on by themselves 😂, great build ,Daniel 👍
I had never used a switch like that before, I was thinking about making a connection, but I guess there is an internal switch that gets grabbed by the magnet, is can see that being hit or miss.
Looks good Dan. I was hoping you would lift it up so we could see the glass jar and its contents with the light on.
I’ll put a short out later today with a better angle, my main camera is pretty much locked in the vertical position. 👍
@@Dbuilderguy Cool.
so wholesome ❤
Kudos to you Daniel, an all day road trip and you still found time to do a video for us! It looks awesome btw
It was one of those things that once I started, I had to get to the end (of that page). 🤪
I could never have managed the wiring without you. Thank you so much
Glad I could help, thanks for the visit!
It’s fun seeing this come together. Looks great!
Thank you! Glad I'm finally getting to the point to see some results.
Looking really good, Daniel, good progress, your witches' hats are still better than mine 😂
Thanks, I assure you it was pure luck! 🍀
Who doesn't love crossing bridges over water...
We've crossed that river dozens of times on that trip over the years, and it's always as exciting as it was when I was 10. 😂
I’m talking from experience of course, but sometimes the things we dread making are the ones that come out the best … great job!
Very true! I've pretty much found that always to be the case, mostly because the stuff I'm dreading will push me to make nicer models. 👍
Btw u earned a sub and like
Ur so underrated bc of u I made this tysmmmmmmm!🎉🎉
Nice! Congrats on the success!
Daniel since you sometimes ask for kit suggestions, i have 2. Booknook THE SECRET RHYTHM. Impression Hawaii dollhouse. This is crazy, it's a house with 2 floors above water and 2 floors underwater.
Okay, I’m on the road today, but I’ll sure take a look when I get home tonight.
Boy - it takes a long time to put together such tiny pieces of staging. You would probably be finished by now if every part was a whole lot bigger. haha But it will look good at the end.
So stinkin’ cute 👏👏
Years or dog companionship........you tell your glue to "stay" .
And there’s a slight chance the glue will obey. 🐶
I saw a person selling one for $60 today. I'm trying to buy it now.
Nice, that's a good deal for that one, fun build too!
Shop front taking shape nicely and looking good!
Agreed, I'm starting to feel it really coming together now.
You are a lifesaver with this damn model...
That one is a toughie, I didn't know what I was getting into with it, but it was worth it in the end!
Just finished this today and those plastic collars were driving me crazy lol. Just trying to slide them on the poles without breaking anything ugh
ROKR loves their little plastic collars, for sure! 😂
Nicely built Daniel, that was the tricky part looking good 👍
Good to know, It looked like that was most of the tiny bits, so I'm glad to move onto the building part of the build.
I completely felt your frustration. I had such a hard time getting the power button piece attached. The wires were getting in the way, and in order to align the piece under the door, it was pushing up on the side wall and making that come out of place. After so many failed attempts, I finally just glued down the side wall and the power button piece in place because it wasn't staying put otherwise 😂
Neccesity is the mother of invention...and it beats throwing the thing out from frustration. 😂
I saw another person building this. It becomes a pretty gorgeous kit.
The other one I did turned out really nice, so I was pretty confident this one would as well. 👍
Thank you 🙏 . I had some of my pieces break, I had to glue them with mod podge. This part was a nightmare for me lol.
Glad I could help! I've gotten pretty good at glueing the pieces back together over the last couple of years. 😂
I’m definitely enjoying watching I love the ice cream cones and I’m so glad you put the cherries on top 🍦
I was glad (and surprised) that they came out so well, I wasn't expecting them to work at all. 😂
pour out some of your super glue on to some wax paper and use a toothpick tip to apply the glue and you want need to release your grip on the item and loose the shape.
Please show me how to do the lighting! I’ve finished 3 other kits and am determined to finally light one with this magic shop kit.
I haven’t even looked that far ahead yet, but I’m sure we’ll get there in a couple of days! 👍
This is the only clear tutorial on CZcams for this piece that actually helps. 😊 Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by!
Great minds think alike, I just used a brown marker for some of the book nook pieces I’m working on
I finally figured that out just a little bit ago, it really makes things look cleaner!
Hi Daniel, I just finished up Spaceport. I think I know your problem with performance of the ‘weak’ motor. The pry is the use of the Impresa wood lube. The lube is too viscous or ‘sticky’. I have used both. Wax is much better and gears don’t stick. I bought a wax melting pot and pound of paraffin wax. I brushed all moving parts with wax and my model runs smooth with the supplied motor. I hope this helps. Alan
Okay, that makes sense, I'm surprised though because it feels silky smooth when I turn the crank by hand, but I'll try to figure out a way to give it a clean and try the waxing once the link kit gets here.
Yes, it”s smooth but the resistance is higher.
Genuine question where did you find the second a9 or did my brain just die because I can’t find it Never mind I’m just really dislexic
Happens to the best of us!
Thank you! This is my first build. I would have been lost without your directions. Tyank you again 😊
I'm glad it helped, thanks for the visit!
For this type of job, glue strings are my worst enemy. Good thing I don't record my work because lot of cursing happens.🤣
I've gotta watch that, sometimes I can make 0.12 cents a day on these videos...if they perform really really well. 😂
My hat is off to you! If I were doing that one, I would be saying some very bad words. lol
I was close, just had to keep thinking happy thoughts. 😂
Great progress today Daniel, those little boxes and cartons can be very fiddly, it's all looking good.
Yep, I’m getting more excited about how this one will turn out.
You so patiently put together the small bits of paper and cardboard without cursing or sounding frustrated - amazing.
Just gotta keep the happy thoughts going. 😂
I got mine together for my daughter! Almost lost the peg reserve, but I got it. Thanks for the help!
That’s great, thanks for sharing!
This will be awesome when done, just remember patience is a virtue. I just received my 2nd book nook Magic Pharmacist in the mail today, I’m looking forward to starting that as a Christmas gift for my niece who’s a pharmacist!
Sounds great! Magic pharmacist isn't that bad, but I recommend picking up some glitter to fill up the little jars, I think that was one of my better improvisations. 👍
@@Dbuilderguy thank you for the suggestion but after looking at the kit I’m taking some artistic license and filling all the bottles, and some others I have in my stash, with medical marijuana (or in my case potpourri) to place on the shelves My niece left a very stressful managerial position at CVS for a job at a medical marijuana dispensary so this build will be “magic” but in an entire different context 🤣🤣🤣 here in Connecticut there has to be a pharmacist filling all marijuana prescriptions, I don’t know if that’s the case any where else
Ty this helped so much
I'm glad! Thanks for stopping by!
If you soak your tweezers in acetone you should be able to remove the built up glue to make it easier to work with the small pieces
The good tweezers aren't really sticky, they are just very slightly magnetized, just enough to mess with things, but not actually pick them up.
@Dbuilderguy If you have a 🧲 reverse it and place the tweeters on it for a few minutes and it should demagntize them just make sure you have the south pole
I ordered 3 of them. Magic forest, fantasy wonderland and magical light. Compared to the 6 BLOCK TOWN houses I am building (4 done so far) this bottle kits are huge. One book here is big as a door there. I need a brake from super tiny 🙃
Very nice! Wow, these are super tiny enough for me, I think I'll steer clear of the block town houses. 😂
@@Dbuilderguy Actually i was wrong because the bottle of magic light represent almost an entire village inside so even more tiny the anything i ever saw. Grrr.
This one is a bit fiddly at times ,but it's a nice peice when finished, good progress today 👍
Thanks for the heads up, so far I'm not seeing nearly as many pieces to make as the last one, so I'm hoping it will go pretty smooth.
“You’re never gonna get it right so make it as wrong as you can” words to live by … I had to stop by and see the final outcome of this build
That only applies to posters and stickers...unless I need it somewhere else. 😂
