For some reason the video has now glitched out, it was working normally for two days, and then all of a sudden it's just a glitchy green screen. I'm working with youtube support to fix it, so hopefully it will be resolved soon! It would mean a lot if you could save it to your watch later and come back once it's sorted!

plays subway runner videos so players pay attention when it's not their turn

Man, if anyone else remembers the show 'Pimp My Ride' I can't help but thinking "...so we put a screen, in your DM SCREEN!" Jokes aside, fascinating build and extremely clean video! Really well done.

Hello, I'm a tradesman. You said"it's better to have the opening too big than too small" during the prep phase. This is actually backwards. Remember, you can easily take more away, but adding more is always tedious. But all in all this is fantastic, definitely going to try my hand at making one. What I really want to do is one of those big touch screen map tables, but holy dear lord does that get pricey.
-
Since it's a project I've also done, allow me to add something: - You can recycle the monitor of an old laptop by buying a compatible driver board, this significantly reduces the cost, but the screen will need to be powered. - If you carry it around it's best to close the side panels over the screen, this way it won't get scratched. - I discovered a little program called Immersion that allows you to create scenes (background image, music and any NPC/Monsters) that can each be activated with a button

This is really impressive! FYI the bumps come from the damp cloth. If you want to remove dust, you should use a tack cloth or something not water based
-
Tip from a woodworker... if you add some salt to your glue after using your finger or some other spreader it'll keep your wood pieces from shifting.

I built this and everyone was really impressed. I replaced one layer of the side boards with cork so I can push-pin things onto it, and some parts were a little tough because I was using plywood instead of basswood, but all in all I followed the measurements and recommendations and it came out super well. I used it for the first time yesterday and everyone loved it. Thanks Kelly!

FYI, it's good to take a moist cloth and wipe all of the wood prior to staining. This raises the grain. You can then sand it, apply stain, then rinse and repeat as needed. This was a great tutorial. Especially, for those who may not build many things. Good stuff!

I watch a lot of woodworking on YouTube, and it was refreshing to see a project with so many constraints on tools and materials turn out so nice on camera. Loved how you outlined each mistake you made, so a true novice can give this a shot. My first home made DM screen went a little overboard.. I used red oak from Lowes (wanted that hard wood construction), included 2 Dice towers, a tablet mount (with air vents!), and a shelf for Miniatures. Completely overkill, i like the simplicity in your better.

I don't play D&D, but your video popped up in my suggestions because it's DIY. Don't be harsh on yourself, you did great! You're not a woodworker, so there are things you didn't know but figured out and found out by trying. The DM Screen looks amazing, and in time can be replaced if you want, since you didn't do anything lasting to the monitor, so that it can be reused. I liked your video because you showed what you did wrong, and the consequences it had, making sure that others learn from your mistakes.

This channel deserves so much love! Another awesome video thank you so much!
-
I have many suggestions for improvements, but the biggest one that comes to mind is using rare earth magnets to attach the layers that sandwich the monitor. That way, if anything happens to the monitor it's easy to remove and repair or replace.
-
This is awesome! I am glad that you go into why you should do things by showing what happens if you dont. And it was just satisfying watching this thing come together.
-
This is SO amazing! And the OBS tip is really nice. I use it for streaming, but hadn't realized it's perfect for a D&D application! Plus you don't have to worry about secrets getting out like they would if you just screen-mirrored, AND you can control your music there too. Brilliant. Very thankful you popped up on my page, and delighted to subscribe after this and your props video! Thank you.
-
Great project! When making this, I think would cut the middle pieces into a U shape, open at the top, so that the monitor can slide in and out. Thanks for the inspiration!
-
I built this for my wife and she absolutely loved it. She spent a few weeks learning OBS and the visuals really enhanced the experience as players. Thanks for posting. Cheers!

The cinematic/Storytelling finesse in this video is superior for a channel with "only" 14k subs. Keep up the amazing work!
