Brian! We were walking through Galaxy’s Edge last week and I literally told my wife that your work is 100% spot on. There’s zero quality difference between your work and Disney World’s! You are seriously the man
Thank you Josh!! That is an incredible compliment!
I wish that Favreau would see this and call Brian up to collaborate on a MANDOLORIAN episode build!
Yes! I agree! Maybe when I hit the lottery I can hire him to design and build my rebel base(ment)
@@kelleyplumer8723 LOL! Wouldn't that be fun!
@@sketchyguynv LOL!!!
Collab with I like to make stuff, wow, that’s awesome
So much fun! Thank you!
Your careful planning and layout of greeblies is what makes your work fit right into the SW universe. Your attention to detail is never lacking. Well done sir!
THANKS! It all comes from studying the set designs and also not going overboard! Glad you like it and thank you for watching!
@@TheSmugglersRoom right. It's too easy to go overboard. A practice of balance.
The laser masked pinstripe painting was a stroke of genius. Star Wars themed rack faceplates huh? You’re giving me lots of ideas!
This mash up of TH-cam channels was awesome!!
absolutely love this, I feel like I'm back in the 80's again and you hear rumors of the A-Team doing a crossover episode with Macgyver. Like, how can two awesome things combine?
Love the new pin striping technique, Ill have to add that to my bucket...of how do I do Brian Things on a shoestring budget and a modicum of creativity lol
And while I have worked around server rooms forever, never did I every think up such an awesome idea.
Thank you Garland! So glad you liked it. So much fun!
My two favorite MAKERS in one place?? OMG I LOST IT!!
YAY! It is really exciting! thank you so much for watching!
WHAAAATTT? Bob AND Brian? I must be in Nerdvana!
YES that is right Total GEEKDOME! Thank you for watching!
Using the peel off plastic as a laser cut stencil for painting pinstripes... GENIUS!! 🤯 I especially liked your attention to detail about worn areas. Subtle details like that go so far. Thank you for the reminder about stuff like that.
YES! It was one of those EURIKA moments for sure, and creates such a clean and straight finish. Thanks, always, for watching!
I'm watching this as I detail my blaster for a Halloween outfit. What a blast it is to paint with you at the "same time".
YES!!!
Okay brilliant job with the masking...👏🏻
It was so easy!!! Can't believe we never thought of it before.
Everytime I hear "WHAT'S UP YOU AWESOME GEEKS!" it makes me smile. Keep up the great vids
So glad to hear it!
9:35 Find someone who loves you like Brian loves his white tiles and greeblies.
But seriously, beautiful work! Painting on the pin striping looks really good.
I'd love to see a video where you pile all your greeblies out on the table and maybe go over a few of the interesting ones and where you found them.
As for now, I'm off to ILTMS to check out what Bob does with these gorgeous panels.
Those control boards came out awesome. You've been an inspiration to me since I started watching your channel a year ago. Thanks again for checking out my latest video and your input. Means a lot.
Totally love all the neat things you and your wife build. You are both very talented. If I may make a suggestion, in one of your future builds. I think it would be great if you made one of your droid interfaces actually functional, like a volume switch, lighting adjustment, or an on/off switch. I thought about it when I was re-watching your build on your soldering station, and thought it would've been awesome if you had put the droid interface up by the fans and used it to activate the fans and lights. Keep making something out of nothing, and inspiring us all.
Have I mentioned before that every time I see a new, or old, one of your videos pop up it makes my week? I always look forward to it and it is the highlight of my day. Your amazing, thank you!
Thank you so much!!! That really means a lot to us!
The new pin striping is freakin' awesome! The detail rocks!
Thank you! It was such a lightbulb moment.
your new pinstriping technique is awesome, as is the whole project, it all looks so professional, well done!
This was truly amazing!! Two of my favorite TH-camrs working together is a dream come true!! Thanks Brian ans your wife for his great channel!! Cheers From Mexico City!!!!
¡MUCHAS GRACIAS!
AGREED, thank you for your support all the way in Mexico City, that's awesome!
That’s fantastic! Congrats!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed!
When I saw you had scored the panel lines with the laser I was like he better paint them first, and then I was like "My dude!" AWESOME BUILD!!!
Thank you!!
Amazing collab guys, I'm very pleased for you Brian you two paring up is awesome, lots of talent and amazing projects 👌😎👍
Thank you so much my friend. Really appreciated!
Amazing! I WISH YOU SOLD THESE PANELS!!! I wish you sold anything and everything.
Thank you! And we will be selling the panels soon!! 😉
this guy needs his own show on Discovery or something. a fucking legend!
Airbrush Tip: Cut off the back half of the needle cover so you don't have to take it off every time you want to clean/adjust the needle. You can make it short enough to access the tightening collar nut while leaving it long enough for a comfortable grip.
Never thought of that, thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching!
Thay are stunning and the new pinstripes idea is amazing, great job as always dude
Thank you! It seems obvious now, but it was one of those "Why didn't we think of that before?"
That droid socket is called a Scomp Link. Seeing it on Bob's video is what made me come check out your channel.
Yes indeed Jason! Thanks for coming over for a look!
Dude awesome idea to use the laser cutter for the pin striping! I used the car tape for the console I built my kids and yeah so much more difficult. This way, gonna have to try that when I modify their console again!
Ahhhhh great intro!! Ok time to get back to watching!!! :-)
LOL! Thank you!
Two of my favorite makers on TH-cam!!!!! This is great!
Whoohoo! Thanks Bryan!
I really like trading the pinstripe tape for paint as you can weather and sand those surfaces to get more interesting effects.
Yeeess! So excited about the technique and how precise it is and to all your points! Thanks for watching Wayne!
Sweet crossover from two of my favorite channels. Makes me want to get in the workshop and work on my leather Mando helmet.
YES! Get out there and work on it! Thanks for watching!
So cool!!! Yeah, I saw the I like to make stuff video and talk about inspiring!!! I was thinking something similar in my home office!
Wow! It truly is amazing how awesome these projects turn out! I learned so much from this episode. Thanks!
Thank you! So glad it was valuable for you!
This is one of the best TH-cam colabs I have seen in a long time!
Thank you so much Ben, that is wonderful to hear.
I'm not necessarily a fan of star wars...…but.....this was a really cool video. I like to make stuff is my favorite channel and it's awesome that he reached out to you and essentially brought me to your channel. I'm a CNC machinist so I am all about precision and aesthetically good looking parts. Your attention to detail is amazing, and your passion for your craft is great. I can't wait to binge watch your channel to get caught up. Really nice work.
Cool. Great film, well shot and produced. Panel is awesome. Mahalo for sharing!🐒
I just came from I Like to Make Stuff. I just finished watching this video and I LOVED it. I enjoy prop making for my costumes or anything of the sorts, and I like to keep random broken things to use as greeblies. My mom always gets mad at me and calls it junk, but now I know the proper term to tell her the exact reason I keep random junk!
Thank you for coming by! Now you’ll be able to tell her that you are “Greeblie Collecting” and your just doing your part to recycle and save the planet one Greeblie at a time! 🤣
@@TheSmugglersRoom Awesome!
These look so sick. This was a cross over long anticipated. Awesome work as always, very inspirational. Can’t wait for the next part of the GONK project ;) much love and support
I seriously hope that this collaboration makes the channel grow like it deserves. The quality of content. The videography. 👌 kind regards from Belgium.
Thank you so much!
Always such a joy to watch your work! I would love to come check out your space!
Great build! I love watching both you and ILTMS. I’m glad you guys got together for a project!
Love it! Can't wait for the Mando Part 4!
I know! I promise it's coming soon.
Great colaboration, amazing project, looks great as always 👏👏
Amazing build brother!!! Reminded me of the control panels you built...stay strong,stay safe!!!
Love this team up. Heading over to watch their video now. Great video as always
Awesome! Thank you!
Loved both of your guys videos! I wanna make a tv stand just like it now!
You should! Thank you for watching!
Just incredible! I love this and can’t wait to check out the finish from Bob.
For sure, we have the link to the video in our comments above! It finished out incredibly and was great to pair up with another maker. Thank you for watching!
This is so inspiring to thoroughly plan my projects and another great use of the laser.
That's great! we're excited to give you some inspiration, good luck and thank you for watching!
Oooooooh you son of a.... !! What great way to pinstripe!!
right?? Totally one of those "AH HA!" moments.
@@TheSmugglersRoom you don’t even know! lol ! I literally laughed and said “eureka!!! “ now, I have to go and figure out the best way to paint MDF, to NOT look like... well... MDF! Lol
@@captdan7876 sealing your MDF is the key. You can use Minwas sealer, or simple waterbased sanding sealer. When you do that BOOM it looks like glass.
great build! great for the channel! congrats!
Those panels look awesome.
Two of my favorite channels together! Love this project, could happen more times. You've rock, Brian!
Thanks Silvio! We really enjoyed collaborating with Bob, it was just an incredible opportunity for us, and we loved helping him Geek out his cabinet!
That pinstriping idea with the Glowforge is genius! I’m going to use that.
Really nice work, first time on the channel and will not be the last time. Keep it up!!!
Thank you so much Matthew! We are so glad to have you along!
The collab was awesome! I really enjoy both of your content! Thanks for all the Awesomeness!
Thank you! So glad you had time to watch them both.
@@TheSmugglersRoom 👍
I've returned from Bob planet to watch this vid XD
Lovely collab! The best star wars makers out there together! I guessed there was something going on when I saw you both at the same time in my subscription feed.
Awesome! Thank you!
Can't wait to see the finished product once they have it completely assembled on their page! Great work as always Brian!
what's up Jimmy! You can already! his video is streaming now too, check it out, it's so cool to see them in their final set up! Thanks for watching!
You did a great job, man! Superior work.
Why thank you! We're really happy with how these turned out and using a new technique or two! Thanks for watching!
great as always .well done
Thank you! We appreciate your support!
This turned out great!
Thank you!!
Bravo! I've wanted to do a whole console like this for YEARS but haven't gotten around to it... lol
Very cool Brian! I watch both of your channels
Fantastic! So glad you liked it, thanks so much for watching!
Love it!
Thank you!
Great job as always. Do you know what is the name of the transparent screen where you can see the star maps in that room?
Have you ever thought of making one?
that was great! I sub to both channels so seeing you two right next to each other in my subs and also working on the same project was a real surprise.
So elegant
Thanks a bunch!!! :)
Know that was a Awesome video!💥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😎👍🏿
Thank you!!!
Bob! That's awesome Brian!
TOTALLY! We were honored to be able to work on a project with Bob! It's exciting to be collabing with other makers, thank you for watching!
hey brian. love your work! had a look and I cant find it in any particular video, but can you run me through the process you used to finish the panel surface itself? I saw you said you sanded and lacquered, but what kind of lacquer did you use? Thanks!
I actually recently found your channel through I Like To Make Stuff and have since binged almost every video you’ve made. Such great work! Is there any chance of future collaboration with ILTMS? Maybe a component of the basement build?
Thank you very much! I’m sure there will be future opportunities with Bob and his team. They are a great group!
Great video. I loved your laser cut pinstripe idea. I'm thinking about making a gonk droid costume and being it for Halloween We love your videos and congrats on hitting 100 last video. Are love from me
So cool, I found you from listening to his Making it Podcast
Thank you! So glad you came over to check us out. Really appreciate Bob mentioning us.
Nice. it's about time ILTMS teamed up with you!
We are crazy thankful that Bob reached out. Such a fun project!
You should do a video on all the different weathering techniques you use.
That’s a great idea. Thank you
Dude, such great content. You really should have 100k subs minimum!!
oh man its been a while since ive seen that insane intro!! :))
LOL, thank you . . . so much fun!
@@TheSmugglersRoom :D np! your videos are so cool!!
your videos & creations are great dude [:
Thank you
Good stuff! What sort of gimbal are you using while filming?
Thank you. We use the DJI Ronin S
Will the kit be back in stock on your website anytime soon?
I wonder what you an the dude from the I Like To Make Stuff channel might do if a team up was done turning a plane cockpit from a plane that came out of a salvage yard a decent size one like say one used for the movie Airplane with Leslie Nielsen in it. Turning something like that into a bridge for something out of Star Wars or Star Trek, with the plane cockpit hooked up to some repurposed Shipping Containers turned into a clubhouse type spaceship on the inside of it, outside of the build turned spaceship like or given a look of hiding the spaceship in someway.
This turned out amazing! How.many hours did you put in on those panels?
Thank you! It took a couple days to get them all finished up, packed, and shipped out to the I Like To Make Stuff team.
Hey Brian, I was watching this and wondered what you used to make the white buttons at 9:24 . Thanks
Hi there. Those are actually laser cut 1/4" acrylic pieces.
Thank you 🙏@@TheSmugglersRoom
Hi, Brian I’m like to say you it’s so awesome what you make. I‘m always siting whit open mouth. Really great. Only question when you continue shelves behind the seating area? Greetings from Germany Krystian
Hi there! Thank you so much. We are going to be working on the room again next month.
Do you happen to have the file for the rocker switches available? I was hoping to find them on patreon but didn’t see them
Where do you source the black acrylic?
What did you use on the tv? Is that a screen saver?
Where do you pick up most of your old computers? Cuz I don’t have access to like an e waste bin
I reach out to electronics stores or pawn shops, I also reach out to Audio Video companies in my area and offer to take their old electronics and recycle them.
@@TheSmugglersRoom that’s so smart, thank you for helping me make something out of nothing!!
I've always wondered how this type of collab works. Is he making you something in exchange? Were you hired and paid? Are you doing it for free for the possible new audience? As someone who plans on starting a maker TH-cam channel, I'd love to know.
These type of collaborations are done because makers want to work together. We have been huge fans of Bob and his team at I Like to Make Stuff, so this was just a great chance to help out another maker with an awesome project.
@@TheSmugglersRoom Ah, cool. I didn't think it would work that way since I believe you both sell stuff that you make aside from the vids. But I suppose its not much different from people at a Maker Space who sell stuff that will help each other out on builds. (I hope my local Maker Space re-opens soon... I also hope it re-opens at all. Maker Space in the UK is a lot more niche)
What make/model of laser cutter do u use?
We have a Glowforge Pro
Was that you clearing a jam in the airbrush?
It wasn’t jammed? I was just cleaning the airbrush out 😁
If you didn't name it, I would've bought it as a panel that was on the real set! That's one more Like and unfortunately I can't subscribe a second time 'cause you guys would deserve a lot more subs!
Thank you so very much!
use a hard drive motor for the droid the face
Hey Brian!!! this is sooo cool! but why did you go for TFA designs instead of the original trilogy? Hoth and Yavin IV is right there in all its original glory.....
Thank you! This design a d feel is what Bob from I Like To Make stuff was looking for so that was the seating we chose. I really enjoyed it!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Thank you for the response!!!! I really enjoy your channel! I saw Bob's videos too! You've got a lot of creativity!!!!
I don’t have a lazer cutter.. any other way to do this without a lazer cutter?
You can print out patterns on a printer and then use a jigsaw and a router, or even just a jigsaw to cut the pattents
Thanks Smugglers room, I love your videos thanks so much for helping me with this.
Hi
Has any one built a functioning Droid port...?
We haven’t yet . . . But soon!
I love your buildings man ...im waiting for gonk part 2 hahahahahah you inspire me to start my own life size droid check out my little chanel!
Amazing, good luck with that, we'll check it out for sure, thanks for the props, and thank you for watching. Also, keep checking, Gonk 2 will make it's second appearance at the beginning of November!
