This monster build has been a long time coming. So many aspects complete, and more to come. We tried our best to build 90% of it using more basic woodworking tools; circular saw, router, drills, and so on. Hope it inspires you to take on a bigger project for yourself!

I've loved your channel since day one, but I gotta say... as a recently married chubby, nerdy dude, I'm so glad your wife shows up more. She seems cool, and awesome nerdy wives are the coolest :-) Wicked project guys!!!

@@TheSmugglersRoom Thank you! I don't ever plan to make a KZread channel like you guys (or at all, realistically), but my own lady and I debate making a podcast of all things nerdy (she already is involved in one called Beauties and Headcanons, but sometimes the things they do aren't as broad or get as deep as she'd like), and I'm always doing woodworking and little projects. Whenever we buy a house, I'm fully intending to build an "immersive-type" nerd cave, and your channel is a HUGE inspiration for that! Keep rocking guys!!!!

I can really appreciate the "behind the scenes" camera work at the end. It really demonstrates that there is a LOT more effort that goes into your KZread videos than one thinks. As usual, great build!

Awesome! Nothing wrong with you’re paint booth. Helps keep overspray contained and reduces bugs and dust in your paint. I’ve painted cars I’ve restored making a similar makeshift paint booth in my garage at home. I used an old squirrel cage blower with hepa filter for ventilation. One tip is to spray the floor down w/ water before you start spraying paint. It helps to attract all the dust out of the air in your booth to the floor so it doesn’t end up in the coat you’re laying down.

Great job! Super inspirational and entertaining video!

He might find the book folks shouldn't read that started this mess and summon more face-huggers or a full-on xenomorph. - That aside this is one of your BEST videos.

*might seem like an odd question (but then i'm...nevermind) but do you have a mailing address/PO box that your subscribers can send you things they might stumble over (figuratively speaking of course unless they are just exceptionally clumsy)?..mostly small objects of interesting shapes that might prove useful in the fabrication of future props and background surfaces...i ask this because i collect all sorts of things because i see the world and the objects around be in pieces and constantly rearranging these bits into more exciting or interesting shapes...for instance the sealing caps form carbonated beverage syrup boxes...they have a really nice industrial(ish) shape to them that could add a lot of surface excitement to background panels or workstations...you could probably ask at local fastfood locations to save them for you once you know what they look like as they just throw them away not knowing their geeky potential as elements of prop fabrication...also if you do not know the site there is an additional content provider by the name of Anthony Ferraro whose channel is called CreateScifi who also builds nice looking props out of very inexpensive findings such as what can be bought at the dollar (themed) store (he's located in California...perhaps a collaboration or creative exchange could be possible at some point...he has made some pretty impressive short movies in the past so his channel is well worth checking out at some point...anyway i have some bits to send your way i think you could make use of if interested...just sayin'...have an excellent day* *be the reason someone smiles today...or the reason they drink...whatever works for you*
