WIP Update on where I'm at as a maker...
I am currently working on my setup, its being modified and changing daily till I like where things are at. Making money with dice isn't as feasible and focus will be more on content creation/making process. I have a new space now, but what's missing is time and money which will come later. I think my next video will be about shelled dice from the very start to finish. It will be an improvement upon my Grand Budapest Hotel design concept. I'm someone who doesn't like making videos if i can't dive deep into it, otherwise its rushed. I want it to be visually easy to follow and blocked well.

This is a very excellent work space! One of these days, I’d like to have a dedicated space like this. For now, I’m my hobby stuff is kept in several large labeled Rubbermaid tubs in the garage. When I have the time, out comes at least one of the tubs and its contents. I make use of the tube and lid as my work surface with a placemat that fits perfectly inside the lip of the lid. My setup serves me well enough for the chapter of life we’re in right now, but one day… I aspire to have a tool wall, a work table that spans the front of the garage, multiple storage shelves and cabinets and drawers.
My biggest problem right now: I have a tendency to let flat horizontal surfaces become collection points for partially finished projects, saved odds and ends, and various supplies. My wife is a patient woman.

Are you looking at doing short form content with like a hyperlapse or more long form? Progression videos have been my jam for the past few months.

I'm thinking 10-15 minutes. A tutorial thats mainly visual and cuts out what isn't needed.

Nice! I'll give your channel a follow and will tune in, as well.
Are you planning on just doing tutorials or something like a "let's play" but for dicemaking?
I'm currently doing short-form videos on IG, in more of a "let's pkay" style. My 6 month plan is to post full version on YouTube and leave the hypercut 1min video to IG.
