- See the efforts of the gallant helmsman as he fights in vain for all eternity to steer the ship clear of the jagged rocks. This book nook shelf insert is inspired by Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride and captures a bit of the magic that makes it my favorite.

Great idea, video, and execution!
Very kind of you. Sorry for the late reply and love the smiling axolotl! Cheers!
Dead men tell no tales!
What poor hulk lay smashed on the cruel rocks, pounded by the angry sea? Who knows the galant endeavours of a wretched crew to save the ship? I knows, cause I were there! 'Twas the Royal Fortune, bound for the Spanish Main, with enough treasure aboard...
Dead men tell no tales!
I used to work on this ride. Great book nook.
It's truly the family favorite! I've loved the first half of the ride since I was a little kid. All the best!
Fantastic book nook!
I appreciate it! Thanks. It feels like it took forever to make this video... I mean... that figure WASN'T a skeleton when I started. All the best!
This is the best book nook video ever! Thank you so much!
There’s something about pirates and skeletons!! Thanks for the kind words. All the best!
Great description while your working makes it really clear and easy to try.
I'm happy to hear that. I'm trying to focus on things that may be more "this trick worked well for me". I may also try a series of deeper dives into specific techniques. Thanks for the comment and all the best!
Thanks for posting - this looks awesome and definitely will add to my list of possible projects - great subject!
Now that I have a skeleton that prints reasonably well at smaller sizes, the possibilities really open up for more projects! Thanks for the comment and cheers!
@@RandomMakingEncounters absolutely. Just ordered my laser cutter/etcher and cant wait for it to arrive. Love the painting you did. Thanks for posting your tool links and the details of methods you used.
Nice! I'm working on some last-minute laser-cut holiday projects. You'll find you want to make every project a "laser" project!
Thank you.
You bet! All the best!
This is one of the best book nook videos I've watched on CZcams. You captured the Disney ride perfectly. I also like the attention to detail, it takes it up another notch.
Thank you! I appreciate that. It’s a ride I’ve really been wanting to do a project on for a long time. The caverns at the beginning really captured my imagination as a kid… I may have just been eyeballing that pile of gold! All the best!
Exquisitely Beautiful book nook creation so breathtakingly gorgeous full of amazing details and wow the design is outstanding congratulations 🎉❤❤🎉❤ i absolutely love your art creation and thank you so much for sharing with us all❤❤❤
Sorry for such a late reply. I really appreciate the kind words. Pirates is our favorite ride and the visuals have always captured my imagination. I'm really happy I was finally able to pull off a nook. Thanks again and all the very best!
So cool! You’re inspiring me to try to make my own book nooks!
Don't make me quote Yoda! Give it a shot. The possibilities are endless and the topic can be silly or sublime... and everything in between! Cheers!
@@RandomMakingEncounters haha. Thank you!
Outstanding😸
Sorry about the slow reply. Thank you! This was an interesting one. The trick is to make it seem like the space is larger than it is... make something in box not look like it's in a box. I think it sorta got there and creepy pirate skeletons make everything better! Thanks again and all the best!
Fantastic! So creative! The etched sides would have been easier to see if you would have painted a dark brownish black into the grooves and done wipe off technique.
That's a great idea and still possible with a bit of work. I should have also done a few tests with the laser engraver to cut a bit deeper... I'm always just diving in (which always leads to a bit of redo). Thanks again for the suggestion. Cheers!
Wow! This is magical! Love all the details
Thanks! It’s funny you say that. Right after I buttoned everything up, I thought to myself, “needs more rope”. I already had to redo and reshoot a bunch of video and just couldn’t bring myself to keep working on it. “Done is better than perfect!” Maybe there was enough detail after all. I appreciate the kind words and thanks for the comment.
God this is beautiful!
Thank you very much! It's a funny thing... I make things for myself but I also make things for others to enjoy. Knowing something I've made has brought a little bit of joy to you helps fuel the creative fire. All the best!
Awesome! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦
Right back atcha! A very Happy New Year to you and yours!
This is a great video. I love how you do this. So cool.
Thanks! Now! On to the next! Cheers!
Fantastic build! I wish i have book nooks too.
I think anyone can build a nook. All you need is a box and an idea. Thank you for the comment and all the best!
Another fantastic nook.
Thank you! I appreciate it. Wishing you the best in the new year!
I really like what you do, I find it quite inspiring. Your attention to details is uncanny. Love love love your work keep up the good work. Your are an amazing source of information and ideas. Thank you!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. All of the feedback (even the critiques) I get from people is inspiring to me. Creation is collaboration and I find I'm inspired by creators I follow and am happy that others find the same in my work. Cheers!
This just showed up in my feed today even though I'm a subscriber, weird. Love it! Great job again and please, keep them coming.
Oh the algorithm! Glad you liked it and happy it finally made it to your feed!! Cheers and happy new year!
That's a cool nook. Good video. I love make them. Most of the ones that I make are in reference to my fantasy books. I wish i had a 3d printer but I am limited to custom building.
Awesome! Honestly, scratch building is kinda the best. 3D printing can do amazing things but you still need the model to print and it's often faster to build it. The skeleton was the one thing that I was struggling to find and ended up printing. Happy diorama building! Cheers!
Very cool! Impressive as always 👏
Thank you. I'm sorry it took so long to get this video buttoned up. I kept redoing a bunch of video. It's tricky to get good footage in what is basically a dark box :)! I think I have it sorted. All the best!
Really cool, thanks for sharing
Always happy to get these out to share! Glad you liked it and have a Happy New Year! Cheers!
This is amazing!!!
Sorry for the really slow reply. Thanks! Pirates is a real favorite of ours when we visit the park. It was fun to try to capture some essence of the experience. Thanks for the kind words and all the best!
Gorgeous and beautifully detailed 😊
You're too kind. This one was fun and it's always easier when you have great sources of inspiration! Cheers!
@@RandomMakingEncounters you are welcome 🤗
Wow!!!
Thanks! Glad ya liked it. All the best!
Love your work. But the bit I really like is the time you take to explain what your doing and how you do it. May I ask what 3d printer you use, is it a FDM or a resin printer? Some of the smaller items in your Book Nooks are very intricate, such as the skeleton in this one and the bust in your Haunted House 'Nook'. I struggle to get very clean and clear prints.
Thank you for sharing your work :-)
I hate to say it but I’m spoiled and have both. I have an FDM printer for things that are more structural but don’t need detail and I use a resin printer for the miniatures. There are pros and cons to both with the con of FDM being the amount of detail you can get and the con of resin being the general mess and maintenance of using resin. I’ve been able to get some reasonable detail using my FDM printer on larger items like scale doors and windows and I love that there’s no cleanup. However, it’s hard to beat the detail a resin printer can deliver. Hope that helps! Thanks for the comments and questions. Cheers!
@@RandomMakingEncounters Thanks for your reply. I'm finding like you, my FDM printer is amazing at the bigger stuff, but lacks the detail on small items like people. Guess I'll be getting a resin printer too lol. I am currently in the process of building your haunted 'nook' :-)
@@believe-a-bubble6585 Fantastic! If you're doing a lot of miniature work, a resin printer is a game changer. All the best!
New sub here! 😀
Welcome!
@@RandomMakingEncounters thx, love ur vids
Great nook! A book nook is my next project. Where do you like to buy your veneer? I've been having a hard time finding some near me. Thanks
Book nooks are a great diorama challenge. Making a box not feel like a box is tough!
I've used this walnut self-adhesive veneer with solid results - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0161DR6IS It's a little spendy but it's a big sheet, the adhesive's strong, and the veneer is pretty thick. If you're working on small projects, it will go a long way.
This supplier looks good as well and you can get slightly smaller sheets in a variety of woods - www.amazon.com/Edge-Supply-Walnut-Veneer-Sheet/dp/B0CDHPD794
This is also an interesting option if you wanted to experiment with a variety of woods and maybe even a bit of inlay work - www.amazon.com/Veneer-Variety-Domestic-Fingerboard-Marquetry/dp/B07RDMN7L4
Another option is to look for sheets that are made for Cricut cutters. You may be able to find them in hobby stores. Something like this - www.amazon.com/Cricut-Machines-Requires-Deep-Point-2007069/dp/B09FTBNQY9 The difference will be the thickness of the veneer. It's usually pretty thin so the blades can get through. Maybe not too big an issue if you're looking for something to do a surface finish. I've used some maple and it worked well.
Good luck with the nook! I'll keep an eye out for the video!
@@RandomMakingEncounters Great! Thank you for finding some of these links for me. I’ve seen a couple of them in my searches, but I think I went into the world of veneer ignorant of how much it would be! lol! However I just measured it out and you’re right; these cuts do go a long way with how they are sized. Anyways, fantastic build and once again thank you.
Great video! Where did you get the file of the skeleton? Also, if we wanted to recreate this, do you have a schematic for the wiring?
Hey there! Here's a link to the skeleton model - www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-skeleton-anatomy-reference-figure-pre-supported-161076
I was able to deconstruct it a bit into various sections and glue it in the pose I wanted. I think someone a bit better with 3D software could pose it and print it in one go.
I've recently realized that I've been connecting my Nano incorrectly. Silly me! I thought I could use 5 volts on the Vin pin to power the board when it really needs 7 volts. Technically, it works but the board is absolutely being underpowered. That's a long way of saying I need to revisit my strategy. Let me put together a post on my blog with more details and a revised lighting strategy and I'll update you when it's available.
Thanks for the comment and good luck on your project!
@@RandomMakingEncounters Thank you so much!
Good to see you back with another fantastic build. Did you laser cut the board yourself or buy as a kit? I assume you did it, to make double wide. Also, could you please supply a link to your airbrush? I've been looking for a simple one for a long time. Want something easy to use and clean.
I laser cut the box myself but here's an insider secret... I use this site to get most of the design generated - www.festi.info/boxes.py/ I add some additional bits and pieces but it's a great tool to create the initial shell when I need an odd size. Even though they're laser cut, straight cuts and butt joints work too so the laser is really a luxury and not a necessity.
I added links in the description to the airbrush I use along with the compressor and the spray booth. If you're using an airbrush primarily as a way to spray paint as opposed to using it to create airbrush art, a single action airbrush is easier to use has fewer fiddly bits. I also have a Badger airbrush and think they're a solid brand as well.
The compressor I listed is slightly overpowered but I've found the California Air Tools compressors to be uber quiet and that is really important to me since they're in my studio space. There are less expensive diaphragm compressors that work well for airbrushing but it's worth getting something with a tank if you want to use it for other things.
The spray booth is nice if you're blasting a lot of paint and it folds up to be very compact. I've also seen DIY spray booth videos where you can make your own with some cardboard and a computer fan! I want to try making one of those!
All the best with your projects and it's good to be back. This one took a long time to get out... some sort of video editing entropy to get over :).
Cheers!
@@RandomMakingEncounters Thank you so much for taking the time with a detailed response. Very helpful. I bought a compressor and airbrush years ago, but they weren't any good. So many times I've thought about getting one again.
Aarrrrggghhhh
Back atcha with an AVAST and AHOY! Cheers!
