This is a secret project tied in with my youtube channel. I don't advertise it or talk about it so congratulations on finding this :)

It is a wizards lair that I am building. Here are some notes and photos. It is a full size studio set I am building in my home. It measures about twelve feet by fifteen feet in size.

Will has a youtube channel with over 1000 videos on projects you can make. Check it out right here

DragonSlayer 7 Sanctum

The wizards lair is now a sanctum. And it has made an appearance in my latest stop motion animation. I used the full sized room and I also created a miniature version of it. You can check it all out here including the animation here: DragonSlayer 7 Sanctum

The latest addition to the Wizard's Lair is the stained glass window. Here is a shot of the room with the window installed. It is amazing how the light has changed in the room. That is natural sunlight shining through the stained glass window.

Here is the miniature version of the wizard's sanctum:

Here is a look at the window itself. That is the actual window, installed. This is the window I make in the tutorial. You can learn how to make a stained glass window right here.

Here is the completed wizard's table. The tutorial for making it is here.

Here is a look at how it is coming along.

I am working on a type of armillary sphere for the wizards lair. This is a wonderful project. One of my favorites. When this project is ready I will be posting a full tutorial with youtube video on how to make one.

Here it is at an early stage.

And here it is nearing completion.

Note: The Armillary Sphere is complete!

Make a Wizard's Globe

Every wizard's lair has a globe like this. It works a lot like a gyroscope in that you can rotate the rings and the globe so it can be looked at from any angle.

The Big Paper!

Every wizard's Lair needs a big Medieval Style fantasy map. So, I am making one. As of right now the paper has been made . And I am working on the drawings for the map. You can check out how to make the big paper here. and from the big paper we make a fantasy map.
