I just asked Miyazaki and he said "yep, this kinda nails the Ghibli vibe." Expect a visit from Howl to be docking here soon.

We all voted “a little bit of everything” because it’s closest to “whatever you enjoy making.” As long as you are having fun and excited about your projects we will happily watch them. (That’s why I voted that way at least, I suppose I shouldn’t speak on behalf of everyone else) Thanks for yet another great video!!

[Boylei]

Very nice build! I’m excited for this new town series. Thanks for the shoutout as well. <3

[TheCrafsMan]

Excellent as usual! You knowww I liked the bricks sequence. Hashtag RESPECT.
(Because I know the way you animate using live-action footage... chopping through that mess is even more tedious than the other way. :) )

23:40: Uncle Bill getting real over here. Hashtag RESPECT.

"42" Congratulations Bill & Cat Making Stuff on achieving your Douglas Adams status. This episode is now part of the secret to life, the universe and everything.

Absolutely love this Bill. Your whimsical editing style is so good lol. Great build and awesome vid man, looking forward to seeing the town further come to life!

[CajunCraftastrophe]

Cat's kibble is beads! I should've known that. : )
I like how you use your hot glue gun to bore holes into the plastic. Intenso!
This build came out great, I really like the green patina on the metal. Very cool.

The Bill Making Stuff aesthetic, both the models and presentation, are wonderful.
13:38 The first rule of Survey Club is, "Never offer an "All Of The Above" option."
The Billville Post Office is very cool.

You really are developing as an artist Bill! Well done with this one. Thanks for the shout-out!

[kirkyoung]

Not enough people mention how much care you put into the sound design of your videos!

[thepenismightier]

I have watched several other crafters make foam bricks. They use a hot wire cutter to do it. And while I can see that it is much faster for them to do it that way I really enjoy the charming and frankly more realistic bricks that you ended up with. Even with the extra time and effort it might take to cut them by hand I feel that the aesthetic is worth it. Well done.

I need a stinky sewer build!!! Extra stinky!!! Bound to be a few stinky sewer golems made entirely of hot melt and stuff discarded down the drains.

[retrorandy]

I've been trying to make bricks out of EVA foam... it's meant to be XPS foam. No wonder my results have been the drizzling jobbies.
I swear I learn something new from every one of your videos.

[njmcliffe]

Love this one, the brick dome especially. Reminds me of igloos, which always seem like really elegant structures. Here’s to more flock than One Man and his Dog (or Cat in this instance).

[jjmetrejhon]

Scratchbuilding is of course a major skill and I know it's taken years of honing, but it still looks like absolutely-for-real magic to me when you pick something up I've been seeing every day of my life....and suddenly it's a door!! Suddenly it's cool guns and barbed wire and monster eyes! I'm slowing working my way through your videos - I started all the way back there at Episode 1 - and I love your sense of humour and your unmatched skill at making the coolest rusty things from junk and bits and bobs. (Also! I am making sandstone bricks today so this was especially helpful!)

[Jimijamcrafting]

I love this editing style it is so unique and I haven't really seen any other channels edit like this, especially with all the time and care that is put into these videos.

It'll be so much fun watching this little city expand, I can't wait to see how it develops. Thanks for another awesome video!

[ScottKraft]

Conduit tube is often call wire loom where I live, in case anyone has trouble finding it.

[daikansanchez]

Martina from the Nerdforge must have felt a disturbance in the force when you started making those bricks.

[hauntswargaming]

That dog tag door is so clever Bill! Love your Nausicaa aesthetic.
