1
I love being outside in nature.
2
I wish I could just be out here all the time, but unfortunately I can't.
3
So what if I could bring the outdoors in and recreate a mini living nature scene?
4
Well, I'm going on a mission to find the answer.
5
The rules are simple.
6
I have to use a functional piece of furniture from the thrift store, and the mini forest has to have a flowing river and living plants.
7
Let's get to it.
8
First stop is the thrift store.
9
So begins the search to find the perfect furniture item to use.
10
Okay.
11
- Mm -hmm.
12
I've always just been an outdoorsy guy.
13
Growing up my mom took my brothers and I on tons of camping and canoe trips.
14
For us that was just our type of vacations and we loved it.
15
So I'm excited for this project because it's gonna enable me to experience
16
that happiness I get from nature but I can have it when I'm stuck inside working all day.
17
Oh, that could maybe work.
18
Dang, this would be awesome.
19
Like imagine the whole forest in there.
20
And then you have efficient storage and drawers.
21
But $225 is a bit too pricey for me.
22
- Thank you.
23
Oh, it'd be really cool.
24
to do it on a table.
25
tables galore.
26
Look at all these Yeah, like a little, nice, small...
27
A small one like this?
28
Thank you.
29
That could be pretty sweet.
30
Well, I think I found the one.
31
Check it out, it's got a full glass piece on top already.
32
which could work really well.
33
Like if I build a box, stick it underneath.
34
- Woo!
35
- Okay, this is the chosen one.
36
Come on, get it.
37
Bye.
38
At the checkout there was this nice old lady that was very sweet and commented on my table saying,
39
"That's a nice table." And so it's already getting compliments and there's not even a forest inside of it yet.
40
Is that sketchy or what?
41
It's just gonna slide around.
42
Once I got the table back to the studio safely, it was time to get to work.
43
Okay, I gotta figure out, I'm just realizing I have no clue how I'm actually gonna do this.
44
In my mind, I can kind of picture it.
45
I want the river flowing across, but then I need.. to figure out somehow to hold the water.
46
I've decided that I'm just gonna figure it out as I go.
47
The first step of my figure it out as I go project is to get some measurements.
48
Then I cut down some pieces of melamine board which is a great waterproof material you
49
I kept at it until I had all five sides of the box cut up and ready to go.
50
Bye.
51
Now, I'm always trying to make it fun for you to watch me building stuff, so I thought it would be a good idea to do some janky stop motion, which took up so much extra time to film.
52
So, hopefully you enjoyed those few seconds of quality entertainment, because that is not the most efficient way to do this.
53
I just realized that I didn't test fit it before I just built the whole thing
54
and put it together so oh oh No, we're good.
55
We're good.
56
Oh, yeah, okay, it fits thankfully and Check it out.
57
So that's how it's looking.
58
Are you starting to get the vision?
59
Whoo I am I'm getting excited Now, it's time to finish waterproofing it.
60
So I got out the silicone and sealed all the edges and gaps.
61
Thank you.
62
It doesn't have to be pretty, because all this will get covered.
63
Oh no. Thank you.
64
uh but it just has to work so hopefully it's waterproof uh we're gonna find out tomorrow
65
- The President's office is a very good man.
66
Okay, let's see.
67
Any leaks?
68
Whoo!
69
I think we're good!
70
Nice!
71
Okay, that makes me very happy.
72
So far, so good.
73
Let me give you a little idea of what I'm thinking.
74
I got this little pump here.
75
It's like, used for aquariums and stuff.
76
And I'm gonna mount it in one corner.
77
Let's say in here, boop, something like that.
78
And then it's gonna pump water to the other side and create that perfect little river.
79
I'm gonna take it for a little test drive first and see...
80
Oh!
81
Oh, what the...
82
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
83
What?
84
I don't want a geyser.
85
I just want a nice flowing river.
86
There must be a little adjustment or something.
87
Here we go.
88
Let's crank that way down.
89
Man, my chair's all wet now.
90
Whatever.
91
Test number two.
92
I'm kinda scared of it now.
93
What the heck?
94
Why does it do that?
95
Okay.
96
Okay, okay.
97
That's better.
98
Just like a nice gentle water flow.
99
So here's what I'm thinking.
100
If I do a hose, doot doot doot doot doot, all the way across, then that's going to be the nice flowing river.
101
And then I'll add rocks and moss and plants and all the fun stuff that you'd typically find in the forest.
102
But before we get there, I gotta do a few more things to finish up the box.
103
I added this piece of decorative molding to give it a bit more fancier of a vibe to match the table.
104
And then I don't love how the white stands out, so I spray painted the whole exterior a nice matte black.
105
While it was dry and I headed to the river
106
because I want the scene to be as accurate as possible to the local places that I love.
107
So the materials that I can get from here, you just wouldn't be able to get them from any craft store.
108
I'm going to put a little bit of water on the top.
109
It was like a fun scavenger hunt as I searched for all sorts of stuff that I could use.
110
It also made me appreciate the smaller details that make up such a big, beautiful place.
111
Pretty soon my bag was so full and heavy that I could hardly carry it.
112
So back at the studio, I mounted the box to the underside of the table.
113
Whew, there's like a hundred screws in here.
114
Okay, not actually, probably like 20, but it's a lot, so.
115
It's either gonna be overkill or...
116
It's gonna fall down and smash, but...
117
Once it's full of stuff, we'll find out.
118
Thank you.
119
Today was a good day.
120
Gotta be outside.
121
spend time at the river.
122
I got a coffee afterwards, so pfft.
123
Anytime you have two of those things in the same day, that's a good day.
124
Plus, I made a ton of progress.
125
The base is officially done, and the true challenge begins tomorrow, because I gotta figure out how to build an actual flowing river.
126
And at this point, I still don't have a clue how I'm actually gonna make...
127
Thank you.
128
Good morning.
129
It's time for the ultimate transformation.
130
This table He's gonna make all the other tables so jealous.
131
The process of building my majestic tiny river starts with setting
132
up the pump with some screen mesh around it to filter out any floaty bits.
133
Then I trimmed down the tube which I would come to later regret.
134
And after placing in some bigger rocks I used this expanding spray foam to hold them in place
135
and add a bit more height to the I accidentally definitely cut it too short.
136
So now it's longer and This stuff is so fun.
137
This here is the face of a man thoroughly enjoying the sight of foam instantly expanding.
138
I mean, can you blame him though?
139
Just look at it go.
140
I'm going to go to the next one.
141
Bye.
142
Using some more rocks, I formed the rough shape of the river, then added gravel as a drainage layer for the sides where I would be adding plants.
143
Bye.
144
Bye.
145
Now this part might be just as fun as the foam.
146
I saw this hack online where you mix silicone glue with soil.
147
and it creates this material that you can mold and shape kind of like play -doh, but then it hardens and becomes waterproof.
148
Bye!
149
Slowly but surely, it's coming along.
150
And I'm still just kind of making it up as I go.
151
The plan is that there's like a gradual downhill to the river
152
so that gravity pulls it and then it's just an infinite water flow.
153
But I'm not really sure 100 % if it'll work or not.
154
Although I had some doubts, I had to make it look more like a proper river first before I could actually test it.
155
So like the delicious toppings of a cake,
156
I sprinkled on some sand. and tiny rocks.
157
Then after cleaning up the absolute messy disaster that I had made, it was time to move on to the third and final phase.
158
I've been really looking forward to this part.
159
Look how pretty the moss looks.
160
Woo, it's gonna add so much to it.
161
Okay, I'm just gonna plug in and then get to it.
162
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
163
Not that one, wrong one.
164
There we go.
165
Much better.
166
Alright, here we go.
167
Similar to making a terrarium, over top of the drainage rocks I added some screen mesh to keep the soil layer separated.
168
And for that I used a
169
With the first bits of moss added in my mini forest officially had life
170
seeing this just patch of dirt start to get some greenery to it.
171
I was making great progress.
172
Ali brought me a coffee, which was awesome.
173
And then I instantly dropped a piece of moss into it.
174
But that didn't matter, I was just cruising right along.
175
I began this project without any well thought out plan, and honestly, it's been a bit overwhelming at times.
176
but also really enjoyable.
177
I think when you don't have any of these set strict guidelines to follow, you can just let your creativity run wild.
178
And it's been really fun to challenge myself in this way to not overthink
179
so much and to instead just make the dang thing.
180
Whew, the studio got so messy again, but, On a good note, I think I'm almost done.
181
I've got to do a few finishing touches and then that's it.
182
Oh, and I also have to really cross my fingers that this river actually works because I haven't tested it yet.
183
All right.
184
Thank you.
185
Time to fill it up with some water.
186
My heart is beating so fast I'm so nervous.
187
Okay, it's fine.
188
If it doesn't work, I'll fix it.
189
Three full days of work all comes down to this very moment.
190
Without a flowing river, this project will be a total failure.
191
But it was a success!
192
Oh, and of course I added some lights.
193
Come on, you know I had to.
194
It's pretty amazing
195
that what started out as just a forgotten thrift store table
196
is now like this epic mini porthole into a beautiful nature scene.
197
Thank you.
198
There's definitely a few things I would improve on for next time, but overall I'm really proud of how this turned out.
199
And with the glass top back in place, I can now be working away inside while still experiencing the joy that I get from being outside.
200
Actually, to be honest, I probably won't get any work done now.
201
It's just way too distracting and cool.
