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.

this guy needs his own show on Discovery or something. a fucking legend!

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.

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.
