Grimsly Manor, Step-by-Step Tutorial Part 1

I am BEYOND wxcited for this like so so so excited my theme this year is going to be haunted houses, so I’m way excited for this and I’ve been wanting to add this piece to my collection forever currently doing lemax, but this one’s got to get in there somehow

This video was fantastic, and sooooooo helpful. I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your time showing us all of this. I did try to answer you 3 times on your last video, but for some reason, it would not post my comment for some reason. Thank you again for such a helpful video. P.S. That Proxxon is a game changer for sure.

Even as a 2 year builder I got a bunch from this video so thank you

Everything looks great so far except where the car comes out of the garage. There's kinda of a big drop where the car meets the driveway. Are you going to maybe put in a small ramp so that you can just smoothly drive the car straight into the garage without the car having to go over that hump or have you got another idea in mind? Just wondering. Otherwise like I said, it looks great. I enjoyed your video very much.

Old stonework, I think, would go good with the color of the house.

Thank you for this tutorial! I’ve watched all your previous videos but learned so much from this new one-mainly lowering the heat on the Proxon which gives more control on the cuts!

Welcome back!

Great video
Appreciate the work you put into this demo. Now, I may have to put away Christmas villages to start to think about my Halloween displays 😊 Stay inspired.

Love the video, the driveway is awesome.

❤❤❤ thank you, Carl! You’ve been missed. I did driveways this year….your method is better😄

Thank you, Carl. A very informative video. This was great!

Love this! You are an inspiration. I am a huge Home Alone fan but I can't find a ceramic Home Alone house. Do you know if that exists? I've only seen Lego kits which I'm not loving.

Omg. We are starting early this year. This is awesome, wish I had this much extra time in the day. Thanks for showing us this

What awonderful tutorial! I am already using my proxxon. I love it, even though I am still getting the hang of it! I look forward to your next video. I have started using clay for some of my walkways. It's more work, but I like it. I want to try your grout method too.

This is an awesome video, it's also like a how to use your proxxon 101 for me. I wonder how to use it with big blocks now I know. Very well explained, even a newbie like me gets it. I just bought mine last year around 3rd week of October so its pretty new and I only know how to use it for a crypt based from your video how to make a crypt.
Also Mr. Carl, where did you purchase the green styro you used for base and the road your using?

Love this tutorial Carl. Very informative. Would love to see like a mailbox covered in ivy along in front next to the stairs. Great work. Looking forward to the rest of the series on this piece.

I love the stone work you do. Would tie in great I think.

Thank you have been watching since last year all your video's are very helpful but this is by far the best to watch step by step crafting

Seriously fascinating and helpful. Did you say you ordered the Proxon on Amazon? I’ve never tried to do this because I thought I would need some kind of saw or something. Thanks for going to all the trouble to do this for us!

Excellent Job! I learned so much. Thank you.

I'm glad you're back, Carl. So appreciate all that you do! Thanks.

Love it, of course, I do really enjoy watching you create, who knows I might try it out yet. I can see a mimi pumpkin garden out back by garage nothing big just a few.

Thanks for doing step by step instructions in real time.

Hey Carl! I'm looking forward to seeing this progress! I have a question
Could you incorporate viniettes for small areas into your videos. Also for narrow spots. The more videos I watch the more ideas I get!! I just don't have room for more than one layout. I love love love your videos!!❤

Yes!! A new series! 🧡

Glad to see you back and full of enthusiasm! Your tutorials are always a treat to watch and a source of useful information. I'm looking forward to the next one. BTW I vote for stone work on the driveway.

This series is awesome! Thank you for doing this for us. 😊

Carl this was fantastic! I’m so excited to watch this series. I love the detail and I can admit I’ve learned some new ideas. Thank you for starting this early! I think I may start working on my Halloween village along with your series. Love your work!

Great video. I’m late to your channel. Was wondering why you chose to go up 2 ins from road level for your manor house

Fantastic step by step! I've been building for years and you do things like an engineer! Very precise and I love it! Very informative!! I bought a proxon two years ago because of you! Now I know how to do more things with it! 😆thank you thank you!

Great series! Very encouraging! Your videos are a wonderful, informative, boost to the hobby. We look forward to your next video as soon as we watch your latest.

Glad you are back. We missed you! This is excellent showing the precise steps to village creations! 👏 Looking forward to your next tutorial.😊

The green project foam at Lowes is up to $9.00 each in upstate NY. Two years ago, when I last bought it, it was $6.00 each. Didn't seem to keep me from buying a couple today but gosh......!

I learned so much from this. I did the bare minimum last year, I just wasn’t in to putting up my village. Seeing the basics and learning new and better ways of making the platforms has invigorated me. Thank you!

This is awesome, thanks for showing your detailed tutorial! I've tried a hot wire tool on styrofoam that was so bad I threw the piece away. Are there any lingering odors when using the project board and XPF foam?

Hi Carl I so love your videos and working hard to have something similar. In general how far back do you cut out for steps. Mine don’t come out as nice as yours. I know each vignette is different so I have to take that into account. Thanks. Hope this makes sense

Thanks Carl I will do that. I really enjoy watching the videos and have learned a lot. Appreciate all your help

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to educating new comers. Your videos are gold!
