Ok, Bolts needs to be integrated into the show from this point forward! He's the perfect shop companion! Great job as usual
LOL, we agree! It was a lot of fun playing off of him. Glad you enjoyed it!

Superb! Bolts definitely needs to be a part of every video. How does L3fty feel about a new droid in the shop?
@@chriscofett he’s. . . . Concerned 🤣
That’s a beautiful a Gonk sir. Thank you for your creative builds and your optimism.
This was a super fun video, excellent work. =D
Thank you guys so much, so glad you enjoyed it!
I can't properly express how much I love this! Thanks Brian for always being an inspiration! This video was at a whole new level. Happy Star Wars Day!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I am a big fan of the "This is how I made something cool" videos because for me the creation process is often more fascinating than the end result. (which is really saying something given how epically awesome your projects turn out) But I have to say that the interplay between you and Bolts was so well done that I actually felt emotionally invested in the character and his relationship with you. You're an incredible maker, and quite the performance actor as well. Excellent work!
You just made it all worth it with this wonderful comment Mark, thank you so very much!

The finished Gonk Is a sight to behold. Well done.
Thank you Wayne!
That whole build was fantastic. I've always loved the GNK. Thanks.
As a tv repair tech I love that I can recognize so many of your random parts. Looks great
YES!!!! That's awesome!
I've said it many times and i'll say it again we need a love button!!!! Great video and great build. It was well worth the wait.
Thank you so much Jason!
This feels like Star Wars, Iron Man, and Mythbusters all went into a blender lmao! Awesome!
HA! Love it!
What an awesome build and video Brian, excellent work as always my friend!!
Thank you my friend!
Bolts looks awesome! As a scale model builder we all have the shelf of doom. The place that uncompleted builds go to collect dust until we find some motivation to pick them back up again
Your Gonk Droid came out looking like it would be walking with the sand troopers. Really nice job. 🙂
Thank you so much 😀
May the Fourth Be With You, man! You are my favorite Star Wars UA-camr! Hope you have a great day! The droid build looks amazing!
This is why I love watching your videos
It's so true about droids getting personality... I'm building a tiny scale droid and I talk to it and give him pats on the head all the time :D
Love it!! It’s totally a thing right?
Bolts looks fantastic! I admit, I had my doubts on Bolts’ choice in color, but you made it work perfectly! And your message about it being ok to step away from a project, was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks so much for the video Brian!
P.S. Adults are a myth. Stay Imaginative my friend! 😉
I was worried about the color choice too, but really happy with the Tatooine look! Thank you for watching and commenting. and I love "Adults are a myth. Stay Imaginative my friend!" . . . . PERFECTION!
@@TheSmugglersRoom 😁
Even Gonks need a little love. May the 4th be with you.
Yes they do!
Wow!! What a video! Some of the most thoughtful production on youtube! Not to mention how awesome Bolts turned out.
Surprised to see the Contact cement work after being heated with the heat gun. Thanks. Learned something new.
happy star wars days! you make all of our star wars dreams better!
Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for keeping it real... I am like that with my projects too sometimes
Birth of the Gonk! I love it, excellent work!
Thank you Hannah
I have a static, blue Scrubber Droid, which was inspired by the Naboo Patrol Fighters. I'd seen countless yellow Scrubber Droids to go along with the Naboo Starfighters but never a blue one. I have a second storage bin masked off to paint yellow, that has been masked off for at least eight years. Now that Mando flys a metal color N-1, I'll have to make a metal colored Scrubber Droid.
This was so Fantastic! Vary well done my friend!!!!👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌‼️‼️‼️
Thank you Ed!!!
I hope to see you soon!
Beautiful gonk droid!!!
Thank you
Thanks for the message at the end! I needed to hear that. 🤖❤
Sometimes it takes someone else's enthusiasm. I parked my hotrod before my son was born. Now 5, he was in the garage with me working on something and started looking under the cover. He was so excited that there was a "race car" (all cars with flames are race cars to a 5 year old) in the garage that he played in it for hours and talked about it to everyone for weeks. I rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump, filters, battery, bled the brakes, replaced front wheels and tires, redid the alignment, and cleaned everything up in about a month. We went for a "first" ride through the neighborhood today.
That right there my friend, is an absolutely wonderful story!
Brilliant!! I absolutely loved this video. Loved the droid and the creativity.
You allowed me an escape before I escape to build another diorama. I'm inspired!
Thank you.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the project and video!
My new favorite video you've done. Outstanding work.
Long time fan, just had a B-day last week (59 going on 200 by way), and getting into Cybersecurity. Bout time you finished that droid. 🖖🏾
This video literally gave me inspiration for my next prop project.
Another Awesome Video! Im glad you finally Finished your project.😃👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎👍🏾
This is great! Love that you got back too it and found new inspiration. Gives me inspiration to finish some of my stuff too.
LOVED THIS! You guys did great with this video and the GONK came out great! Great fun! May the 4th be with you!
This is quite frankly your best cinematic piece to date, you and Carissa killed this! I love that Bolts is your “inner” outer monologue, and should be a part of the Smugglers universe going forward.. great work my friend.
Thank you so very much!
@@TheSmugglersRoom how many hours did this take in post production?
@@TheRebelsRefuge I lost count 🤣, but it was a lot.😉
This has to be maybe the best story build video you've done! It was great! The story, the editing, the music and Bolts! Thanks for the inspiration!
Amazing work and this will be one of my favorite episodes of yours! Very inspirational. Thanks for the boost in my creativity! This definitely repaired my own personal “Hyperdrive Motivator” As an artist I go into periods of creativity followed by periods of burnout and a lot of projects half completed!
Thank you again very much!
Yes!!! Return of the gonk
LOL, yup
Looks fantastic! Great color and your weathering is second to none! Awesome Gonk.
Glad you like it
I loved this episode. Happy Star Wars day
Thank you!!!
Love it, what a great video. As a custom action figure creator I totally get where you are coming from. I start so many projects and don't finish them because I keep getting new ideas and starting them and so it goes on. But like yourself I go through my boxes and look at older projects again to rekindle the buzz from the first time I got the idea for the custom and I'm encouraged to finish them, one project at a time.
On this day May the 4th im in search of inspiration and it's source. Then just as I am about to give up hope and bring my search to an end that source presents itself and I am happy again.
On this day we get to celebrate Star wars and with the help of two lovely presenters as a bonus I am reminded that star wars like the force it flows powerfully through us.
As I sit and think about star wars and all of it's parts, I realise how much we all hold it dear in our hearts. So as I watch the latest video Il be reminded to build up my motivation and to start measuring, painting and cutting because I shouldn't waste my life and instead start building something out of nothing.
May the 4th be with us.
Wonderful!
WOW! Can’t wait to show this to my Jedi later today (on her birthday!) 🐐😍
Thank you my friend! So glad you liked it!
Man! The suspense waiting for the integration to be successful….wow!
LOL! Thanks
May the 4th be with you! Greetings Bolts!
LLAP 🖖
Long have I waited, today is the day! Happy May 4th guys!
Hope you enjoyed Steve!
Another awesome build!
Sweet 👍
Thanks!
Very nice job. I’d take that to a Comic-Con in a heartbeat.
Thank you!
Brian, my friend, you have outdone yourself. I loved every second of this video. So happy that you brought BOLTS to life. I can absolutely relate to projects sitting in a corner, staring at you, screaming every time you walk out the door without touching them. Yes, I see you over there. Yes, I feel guilty. But you need to wait a bit longer. Keep up the inspiring work.
Thank you Deanna, so happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Congratulations Brian on finishing the Gonk Droid build! Your videos are awesome! I think the story you made up for "Bolts" was great. Thanks again, it was fun to watch.
Thank you
spectacular video. one of your best yet. bolts is awesome 👌.
That was a great video...all of it!
Awesome droid too.
Beautiful man. Worth the wait.
Absolutely insane! Thanks Brian, now I HAVE to make one. My wife is not going to be happy.
I watched all the parts of this build.
I really enjoyed it and I’d like to thank you for the awesome advice. I’m getting back to some unfinished projects and I’m ready to knock them out!
Thanks again bud, awesome video and amazing job!
Thank you Mike!
Whether your morals are intended or not, greatly appreciate the energy and heart behind your amazing builds.
I appreciate that!
Great work!!!
Unbelievable production I felt like I was watch a series on tv you out did your self sir simply amazing !!!!
Thank you so much my friend!
Amazing video!!!
May the 4th be with you!
Still one of my favorite video's!
Thank you!
Great Stuff! MAY THE 4TH be with you.
And with you!
Yep that's just like me. Over active imagination, hard time being forced for long projects, get side tracked alot. And a little bit impulsive when I see things that spark creativity and have to start working on it. We are from the same creative mind.
Loved this series!! Keep up the good work!
I think the droid turned out better for having had to wait!
Awesome droid great work. l definitely need to make a droid myself.
Absolutely epic project! Love the style!
Thank you
Thanks Brian. This was awesome and I love Bolts!
Glad you enjoyed it!
looks incredible, what an excellent build. thoroughly enjoyed watching you bring this to life. perfect project for star wars day. may the 4th ( and the Force) be with you
Thank you !
now this is one impressive gonk you created ! I am very impressed and I love this video !
Thank you very much!
Absolutely love this video, my favorite that you’ve done to date. Bolts must return in future episodes. Love your work brother!
Thank you!
"Unfinished Projects" is my middle name. Feel the pain dude, but glad you punched your way through to a great result!
Outstanding.
Thank you
Hey man. Just wanted to say, be sure to be kind to yourself. Though your skills are top notch, and the online world can easily breed narcissists, we can tell you’re a genuine and humble guy. Give yourself grace and shake off any gate-keeping or imposter syndrome that finds its way to you. You are you, you do what you do, and that’s just perfect.
Hey thanks! All good here, just having a bit of fun at my own expense 😬. Very much appreciate the kind words!
Great episode and Bolts looks great! May the 4th be with you!
Thank you
I've had the pleasure of watching a good number of your videos since discovering them perhaps a year ago. This one, however, is next level in nearly every way. The effort is apparent and appreciated! Thanks, and congratulations on a job well done.
What a Treat! 👍😁
Woooo awesome master piece, congrats. Excellent
Thank you very much!
I know exactly what you mean about letting time and process be a thing when inspiration flows back and forth. It took me 6 months to finish a project that was supposed to be quick and easy. However disappointed at reasons for not finishing it on time , I loved what I created when I did finish it. And it might not have been what I wanted had I forced myself through it at once.
Clearly, any delay was by design,…because Bolts is an enviable masterpiece. Awesome job Brian
Thank you Garland. Never let the projects get you down, remember, the projects are there to bring us joy!
It's awesome that we finally see him finished! It looks amazing
Thank you!
Excellent work Brian!! You´re THE BEST!! Greetings from Caracas-Venezuela
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching!
I fell way side of my Gonk inspired droid project as well. But as of yesterday, I'm back on it.
This is awesome!
Awesome! Good Luck!
@@TheSmugglersRoom I appreciate that.
Glad to see you finally finished the gonna. It's looking quite awesome. As usual: )
Thank you!
Excellent video! Well worth the wait.
Thank you Kevin!
Wonderful and inspirational video, I think I need a Gonk Droid in my life as well ;)
Happy Star Wars Day and MTFBWY :D
WOW! Great video. I sat down to preview it at breakfast just for a minute or two and ended up watching the whole thing through! Love it. New subscriber and can't wait to see more of your videos. ----a fellow droid builder!
Turned out great. I tend to start too many projects as well ... I don't ever give up on them, but sometimes it does take way too long to complete. Thanks for pointing that out ... might help so others who might feel overwhelmed. Happy Star Wars day!
So true! Happens to us all right? Thank you for watching!
How can they keep getting better? LOL This video is like a fly on the wall type of video, and I loved it. You really have to have an imagination to pull this off. Great job on the video and integration! :)
Thanks so much bud!
Looking awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Always incredible stuff!
Thank you!
our Gunk Droid is taking us 3 years and we still haven't finished it and it's just a pile of parts. so you taking 1 year is not that bad
He looks Amazing I love that power droid nice work Man
Thanks a ton!
Great job Brian well done Sir 👏
Thank you!
I stumbled upon this channel by accident a few weeks ago and I am so happy I did! I have enjoyed every video I have watched over the last couple weeks - your maker skills are amazing, your story telling is on point and your videos are some of the best I have seen in the "I make cool stuff" realm of UA-cam. I have learned so much from you - thank you. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so very much! That just made our day!
These videos always bring a smile to my face. Just seeing what is possible with a pile of junk. This video has really inspired me to continue making something out of nothing! :)
I'm so glad to hear it! Thank you!
@@TheSmugglersRoom I was wondering if you could do an in depth look on laser printing? I personally don't own a laser printer but my local library offers theirs to anyone who know how to use it. And I would love to use the printer the only problem is im not sure how to.
@@spiffingproductions sounds good, we’ll try and do that
@@TheSmugglersRoom Thank you!
Amazing Work!
What a great project! I love the storytelling and creativity! It might have taken 17 months, 6 days, and 7 hours for you to get here but it was worth the wait!
First
May the Force be with you!
and with you!!
Very nice enjoyed that so much. May the 4th be with you
Thank you!
