Agreed!
the sister murph looks metal af
The black shadow on that logo just makes it!! Love it!
I'm here for the french cleat content!
I just noticed the Nova Scotia t shirt at the end. Love it, from Atlantic Canada.
Also, in true board gamer fashion, I noticed you bought nice shelves for your games and a super cheap plastic cabinet for your way more expensive camera equipment 😂

Hell yeah babayyy
Oof, the "Sure Don't" hit hard, good luck with your house hunting Nick
welcome to norcal! i appreciate the giants hat
Always curious about how a studio is built and how the lighting/equipment comes together so thanks for sharing! And thanks for being so companionable during my work day.
If you wanna up your cabinet game a bit, the Husky ones at Homedepot (probably lowes too) are really solid, a bit spendy but they do go on sale fairly often, seeing all that camera equipment shake on that flimy shelf had me spooked lol. I wonder if sliding a dowel into the metal pipes at the connection point would help solve the sag issue? To help with the small game storage, you could even try to get another couple of the actual shelf piece and slide them in halfway to make a few small shelfs if that makes sense lol. Looks great though, cant wait for part 2!
FRENCH CLEAT! i also get very excited when i utilise french cleats.
Ah love me a good DIY video! Them French cleats… Nice work Nick!
What an amazing transformation so far! Nick, the logo turned out amazing! Congratulations on your move and your new studio!
love you guys. fun to see you back in SacTown
I am 100% also guilty of saving an empty box purely because it is "a nice box". smh 🤣

Yeah......... been there... still there....
Love videos like this! Congrats on the new space and the way you're building it out looks great! Any plans to offer tours to anyone traveling through Sacramento? 😅
Already said it on Patreon but will say it again - the painted logo! Looks sooo good! At first I thought it was a legit sign hanging. Amazing job Nick ❤️ this is definitely a highlight of the office
Love the progress. Congratulations on moving toward your dream!
I feel the prize for flimsiest box goes to Artipia Games with Pursuit of Happiness. That box is thinner than the cards it contains.
Logo and studio look great! Thanks for the video. Can't wait for The Carpenters Murph spinoff channel
Love the look at the new place and getting it eat up. Looking nice. If you’re going to get triggered you might want to leave. If it fits, it sits. Use the 6th shelf to help you start your organization. That way you don’t have to take any off of a full shelf to organize. The logo looks awesome. Great job.
What a packing expert to make it all that way without any casualties. Amazing driving, packing and unpacking!
I had confidence in your driving. 100% safe transport. Future episodes to organize the shelves! They look good packed full like that... like you are serious gamers. I want to make some French cleats when I redo my garage. Good idea for sets. It looks good.
Stoked for you bros and your awesome studio build! Nick...you are an animal, bud! So much work you are doing! I'm beyond impressed. Keep it up!
Thanks for all the effort, equipment, light and love you put into high-quality filming -- having clear videos for over-head play-throughs is so mice. And also, for the behind-the-scenes for how you film. Foster the Meeple recently had a studio tour video were they showed their lights and camera setups. Was really nice to peek behind the scene.
French Cleat!
I have those same shelves they are hella cheap but fantastic :)
OMG, y’all did it!! Huzzah!! Looks great, Murphs. Congratulations on a successful move and best of luck in the new space ☺️❤️ - Jess_CCG
Great video! Love the behind the scenes stuff! You guys rock!!!
You placed both Horrified games next to each other. Those need to be split up for consistency.
Stonemaier and Restoration both use Panda Mfg for their board game productions, so that's why the boxes are of the highest quality. Can usually find a Panda head and Panda Mfg on the barcode of their games.
IKEA bags are amazing for moving board games , I rented a uhaul trailer and moved mine that way it was great! Didn't think you would be able to wedge the table enough in he truck to keep those games from moving. Well done! Excited for the new studio!
Looking good! Can't wait for the studiotour! Awesome job, Nick!
Awesome job man. I just moved to a new home and bringing my 400+ game collection along was a chore. So glad it's done. Looking forward to seeing the next one!
Most industrial kitchens use those shelves and you can load them high with canned goods, so they're more than sturdy enough for as many boardgames as you can possibly desire to put on them.

Yeah that’s why we got them, we’re like “if they’ll use them in kitchens with all that heavy stuff, they should easily be able to handle our games”

I built tons of those for carrying "fast mover" items when I worked at the dairy department at Target. It can hold hundreds of pounds of heavy whipping cream and butter during Christmas season. You bros will be fine.

We use those shelves in our storage room for just about everything…but mostly board games. They’re great!
Nick, you are an absolute machine. Putting the stud in studio.
Great video, studio looks great
Hey, Harris Ranch! I grew up in Coalinga, and had family members work at the Harris Ranch restaurant. I did not realize that y'all were actually moving to a new city. It's all looking good! I have about 150 games I need to shelve, and those racks, or similar racks, look like they would be a good fit. From LA to Sacramento...sounds like a good move. I love the french cleats! Maybe some acoustic foam for the walls will help with the sound. Nice job on the logo!
I love the painted logo, and everything else. Hope all the things you still need to do go well, and as low stress as possible.
Guessing @3:23 no significant problems for the boxes. Congratulations on everything bros!
If you want to be 100% safe, that ceiling cross-bar for the camera could also go wall to wall. Maybe once you figure out exact locations.
So excited to watch this and happy for you guys being able to create a space for yourselves!
As long as you don't put anything on top. It'll totally work. Dad approved.
Wow, this was really nice to watch! Your studio is going to be awesome. Well done Nick!
....The HGTV addict in me is deeply satisfied by this video. The TBM looks awesome!
Definitely switch the wheels out for industrial ones before moving them to a con loaded. The big weight rating on those types of racks is always for when using the leveling feet and the wheel rating is usually around 1/3 of that. Bigger, stronger wheels will just be more stable too.
100% the right move upgrading the casters. I’ve dealt with games in these same shelves and one bent wheel is BAD. You’ll be happy when you transport the games for your first TBM Games Retreat…right…RIGHT!?
Looking forward to playing with you guys since you are in the area.
Such a great BTS video on the studio! Very exciting stuff!
That painted logo looks super awesome!!
Love seeing the progress. Can't wait to see new BG content videos when your work is finished.
That looks fantastic Nick. I love the shadowing you got on your logo. Great job guys. ...Also, super jealous of those french cleats.
i think you can get hanging drop ceiling hangers too for extra support and leveling.
I love the logo, the black really makes it pop. Awesome work bros. So excited for you.
I think the games won’t budge at all in the truck. I predict they’ll be 100% in tact when you arrive.
Awesome job Nick! That logo looks damn pretty with the black outlines. Hope you find a house soon! Greetings from the Netherlands, Suzanne
Those are the same type of shelves I have used for years. They should work fine.
For organizing your games, I saw Wil Wheaton do an interview once where he showed off his game collection and they were organized by color, going red->purple across his wall, then white/gray/black on another shelf. An idea for your organization; I wonder how it would look!

We used to do this and loved the way it looked, but it was too hard to maintain unfortunately
love this, guys! :)
My question is when is Nick starting his own handy man show?
Awesome update, Nick! Greatness takes time and lots of work. Very excited for you and Mike 👍
Awesome! Love videos like this (just in general) because seeing just a finished product can make it easy to not realize the hard work that was required to make it happen. Congrats again.
New studio looks awesome. Nice Nova Scotia shirt! :).
Ngl sounds stressful and also fucking cool
Dude the logo came out so badass!!!
Been missing you crazy bois for a bit here. Hope you love the new space!

Thanks for the vlog, it's fascinating to see the process you're going through and I'm looking forward to the new content when you're settled in the new studio.
Hits the brakes in the moving truck. And all the games -- 2:44 -- fall open spilling their contents. That's a worse nightmare scenario as a gamer.
Really enjoyed this!! Had no idea so much goes into setting up a studio! Can’t wait to see the end result. X
This is so clean and awesome. Great job!
I feel shamed... You are Packing MASTERS!
I knew it would work! Excited to see what comes out of the new studio. ❤
Very cool. Can’t wait to watch all of this
Congrats yall!
Looks amazing. Great job Nick!
It all looks really good .
It's looking so good! So stoked for you guys! Well done Nick for all your hard work!
Looking great, guys!!
Really interesting, thanks a lot to share it with us !!! And cheers to Nick's pants hahaha "nobody gets paid for this content, please subscribe" 😂
Looking good Nick
Excited to check it out someday!

We’ll have you out at some point soon! We are wanting to put aside a part of our yearly budget to fly people in to film stuff
The only thing I would've done is put a blanket or one of the shipping mats over the games. Otherwise, nice packing!
Logo lookin' crisp!

Great video, guys! Why did you decide to move?
Most of those types of shelves have a much lesser weight rating per shelf (like 100 pounds) when on the casters and not the feet (that usually come with them as well as the casters).
@TheBrothersMurph

Yeah definitely, they're still very under weight, even for the casters, but most of the weight claims are for static feet not wheels.
as long as you dont suddenly accelerate you should be ok... but still an intresting way to load the truck
Legit
I predict a Tsunami of Games! lol
Are the games going to make it? in some form or another...Damaged games is one thing....but I'm waiting for the component counting streams and the pictures of what does this **fill in the blank** go to.
I think some games will fall, but ultimately it’ll work.
I was really wondering what the plan was with all the games in a huge pile in the UHaul. Definitely worried enough games would dislodge that your BGStats will be filled with the game "What game does this belong to?" Edit: I'm happy to have been proven wrong. Shame!
It is funny that the board games get the nice shelfs but the expensive camera gear gets a cheap plastic shelf 😂

Looks good! I love the painted logo! I've wanted to paint a mural in my house since I was a kid but never got around to it (and I kept moving after college). We're moving next year hopefully for the last time in a long time so maybe I can finally do something then! Did you just use normal acrylic paint? Did you do any coating on top?
@TheBrothersMurph

Movin back to the Sac?! Nice! Are you moving back there too, Nick? Also, I irrationally appreciate French cleats. Kudos.

The only thing triggering me is Patchwork does not have its own shelf.
I remember watching your shelf roasting video where you were Team Vertical. Now here I see you stacking horizontal. Tsk tsk tsk 😉. But seriously. Looks great. Excited for more! (Oh and maybe more shelf roasting? Please?)
