Production-Style Terrain Crafting

As a terrain crafter, I'm always looking for ways to make better terrain faster. And that's why I've adopted a production-style approach to crafting. It's a method of creating items in a streamlined and efficient manner that involves breaking down the creation process into smaller steps and optimizing each step for speed and quality. In this blog post, I'll share with you how I've applied this approach to my terrain crafting business and how it can benefit your crafting projects too.

One of the biggest benefits of production-style crafting is efficiency. By breaking down the creation process into smaller steps, I can optimize each step for speed and quality. This means that I can create more pieces of terrain in a shorter amount of time while maintaining consistency in the final product. Using the same techniques and materials for each piece of terrain ensures that they all look and feel the same.

Another important aspect of production-style crafting is the use of Standard Operating Procedures, or SOPs. These are step-by-step instructions for each stage of the creation process. SOPs ensure that each piece of terrain is made the same way every time, which leads to consistency in the final product. Additionally, SOPs help to train new employees and ensure that everyone on the team is following the same process.

When I start a new terrain crafting project, I break down the creation process into smaller steps. For example, when creating a rock formation, I'll start by carving the foam for all the rock formations (not just one). Then, I'll assemble the all foam pieces, texture the all surfaces, and paint everything at once. By optimizing each step, I can create multiple rock formations at once while maintaining consistency in the final product.

Batching is another key element of production-style crafting. It involves creating multiple pieces of terrain at once, rather than creating each one individually. This allows me to optimize each step of the process and make better use of my time. For example, when carving foam for rock formations, I'll carve multiple pieces at once. This saves time compared to carving each piece individually.

In conclusion, production-style crafting is a technique that can help you make better terrain faster. By breaking down the creation process into smaller steps and optimizing each step for speed and quality, you can create more pieces of terrain in a shorter amount of time. Additionally, by using batching and SOPs, you can ensure that each piece of terrain is made the same way every time. Whether you're running a terrain crafting business or just looking to improve your crafting skills, production-style crafting is a technique worth considering.

Catching Up and Moving Forward

I hope this blog post finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to update you on what's been happening at Art Jeremiah Terrain lately.

First off, I want to apologize for any delays that may have occurred last week. I was behind on orders, and I know that can be frustrating. But I'm happy to report that I'm now caught up and ready to move forward with new projects.

Speaking of which, I recently posted everything I made last week on my Instagram, and I have to say, it looked like a lot! I'm always amazed at the variety of projects that come my way, and it's always a pleasure to see them come to life.

In other news, I'm excited to announce that I have some new T-shirt designs available on my webstore. These shirts feature some of monster manual style meme designs, and I think they'll make a great addition to any tabletop gamer’s wardrobe.

As always, thank you for your continued support. I'm grateful for each and every one of you, and I look forward to creating more amazing terrain in the weeks and months to come.

A Little Behind on Orders, Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all of your support for my handmade game board and terrain business. As a one-person operation, it can be tough to keep up with the demand at times, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Recently, I've been a bit behind on orders due to the high volume of requests I've received. But I want you to know that this is a good problem to have, and I am so grateful for every order that comes in. It's amazing to see my passion for tabletop gaming and terrain-building resonate with so many of you.

Please know that I am working hard to catch up on all outstanding orders, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as I do so. I promise to deliver the same level of care and quality that you have come to expect from my work.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, and for being a part of my journey as a maker and gamer.

Sincerely,

Art Jeremiah

Updates

I just updated the website. Nothing special, just made it easier to navigate the home page. All important links to social media and shops have been included on the home page.

Will be adding to my Patreon soon! Looking to do Patreon Only livestreams, hopefully at least a couple a month. These may or may not be in the form of a class. They will be accessible after the livestream as well for those who would like to play them back.

Recently, I obtained a 3d Printer and will be adding fully painted 3d Printed Scenery to my shop soon.

Just Checking In

I’ve been busy with orders… that’s great! Of course that means less time for working on New Items and Merch. Regardless, I’ve been finding the time to add new products to my shop (not just here, but Etsy, eBay, Amazon, and Instagram). Have you followed me on Instagram yet? I’ve been posting content daily and have over 2000 followers now! Crazy, I know!

Anyway, here’s my latest YouTube video: https://youtu.be/5oXNGJ_H358 … it was NOT a hit 😅. Though, if you want to hear me talk about hope and watch me build a phoenix diorama, definitely check it out.

My Hope for 2021 Build!

A lot happening…

A lot is happening. We got 5 Patrons on Patreon, over 1K Subs on the YouTube, over 1K Followers on Instagram—and growing fast. I’m amazed by this growth and so thankful for everyone. I would love to personally thank every single one of you! I recently got fed up with my day job and left. It honestly wasn’t bad and I had a lot of control of my own work. Regardless, a somewhat long drive and somewhat unproductive day was driving me crazy and making my eBay/Etsy orders build up and slow down my ability to edit videos for YouTube. I am an artist first and foremost and when that is hampered, I have to fix the problem. I tried working a job closer to home for less money for a few days and that was just counterproductive. So, as for now, I am putting full energy into the art career. The plan is to get ahead on everything: YouTube, eBay, Etsy, the Website, etc. Exciting right?

So yeah… expect more content, more handmade terrain, faster shipping/handling. I may or may not find another job, but at this point in time that is not important. The recent addiction of Liquid Terrains is the first new additions to the shop. The goal is to get 120 regular sets up for sale. That’s a lot right? So yeah, I may not be able to keep up with having 120 listings up on each Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Instagram, and this Website. That’s 600 listings! If you are interested in purchasing terrain, I would definitely recommend getting them sooner rather than later because I will have to increase prices according to demand. Regardless, I will try to keep everything affordable.

The plan for YouTube is to get weekly content up. If I’m not working full time and doing handmade-to-order terrain on the side that shouldn’t be a problem. The Building a Dungeon series is going really well and I will be excited to finish that and go to the next big project. I may do a more modular dungeon next, or a themed dungeon…. I’m not too sure about that yet. So many ideas!

SOCIAL MEDIA GIVEAWAY COMING SOON…

In celebration of hitting 1k Subs and 1K Followers I will be doing a giveaway soon. I’m looking on Amazon at a few things and will be giving away one of the more following items (Let me know what you think):

  1. 20 Sets of Dice (https://amzn.to/35UNcnY)

  2. D&D Condition Rings (https://amzn.to/2Kla8UP)

  3. Terrain Set Made by Me (https://amzn.to/3q1kytk)

  4. This Fancy Dice Rolling Mat (https://amzn.to/3pPSBED)

  5. Giant Dice with Engraved Case (https://amzn.to/3lTav6V)

A Wild Hair Website

I got a wild hair! A couple hours later and a couple hundred down and I got it semi-functional. I will need to work on the design but links to my YouTube, Etsy, Patreon, and Social Media are all here in one place. This was all motivated by a simpler business card design. Now, time to hustle and make up for the $$$.
