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!!!
Thank you! Congrats on your recent marriage! Yes, I love having Carissa in the episodes, it's so enjoyable doing these together.
@@TheSmugglersRoom Thank you! I don't ever plan to make a UA-cam 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!!!!
Ooh, exciting!
I love The Smugglers Room! Entertaining and inspiring!!
Very much appreciate it!
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 UA-cam videos than one thinks. As usual, great build!
Thank you. There sure is. And it’s also a lot of fun!
Great episode. I feel the pain of what it is like to spend days, weeks, building walls. However, as usual, the best part was the blooper at the end. It literally made me spit my coffee all over myself! I was not expecting the total meltdown from everyone. 🤣
LOL, so much fun to record and share the bloopers. Thanks for watching!
"Every maker makes mistakes" a good maker knows how to fix them. The trim added to the air lock jambs was a easy and low-cost fix . That in the end looked great. Well done 👍
Wow! That is one hell of a door! It looks fantastic!
Thank you my friend!
Lol! That’s a great build! I’m inspired.
On second viewing you should’ve had the alien pop out of his chest and then say “you hungry?“ And then blasted him out of the airlock lol
LOL!! That would have been funny
Excellent! Most Excellent !
Thank you!
Looks amazing
Guys, thats awesome!
Thank you!
Best one yet. Love it
So glad to hear. Thank you!
The Force is obviously with you guys ! Bravo 👍
Thank you!
Cool build! About the ridges after routing the rounded edges, if you set your router bit a little bit higher -> no more ridges to sand down after routing :)
Oh, we wanted the ridges to show. I set the bit at that height on purpose. When I mentioned "sanding down the ridges" what I was talking about was inside the curve. It had a bit of a burr on it that needed sanding. Sorry, i should have clarified that a bit more. Thanks for watching!
This is another amazing project!
Thank you
This makes me happy 😊 😃 😀
Thank you
Brilliant work. It can really help to have a few good tools in your work shop.
Thank you!
Yes the light grey is a good color for this!
Another fantastic build! Congratulations to all of you guys!👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌‼️‼️‼️
Thank you my friend.
Fabulous. Awesome edit amazing build bro.
Thank you my friend! Much appreciated!
Wow! Amazing job!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
👏👏👏👏 This may be the best video you've done so far. Excellent build too. I love seeing everyone so involved. It shows how much of a team effort the whole thing was. Carissa is so funny 🤣 and poor Mark 😔 Right out the airlock after the face hugger got him... He will be missed.
Happy Halloween my friends! 👻🎃💀🧛🧟🦸🦹🧙🧝🥷
Thank you!!! We so appreciate the kind words.
i am surprised how you guys get better and more creative every time and this build is very cool . . . I love this video !
Thank you! We keep trying to up our game.
Love the intro of this. Thought about doing a blast door for my garage door so this build has very much inspired me to sit down and do the design.
Awesome! Thank you!
Well worth the wait! Fantastic build! Awesome video 😂 thank you for all the hard work! You give my life a mental exit that I desperately need. I look forward to more builds!!!
So wonderful hear. Thank you!
That is turning out great! Entertainingly, we were watching while working on projects in our garage.
That is awesome! Thank you!
This looks awesomely amazing so far. I liked the alternate stories of the build and the invasion of the Face hugger. I also like the use of the barn door hardware so you can have it not be just a static prop.
Thanks Wayne! It’s been a. Racy big project t for sure. Now we need to weather and finish it up.
Another awesome build
Thank you 🤗
Great job! Super inspirational and entertaining video!
Thank you!
That's awesome! Consider me inspired!!
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.
Unbelievably cool, you guys did an amazing job!
Thank you very much!
Just the most wholesome content I watch. I make because of you 😊
Thank you so very much! What a wonderful comment!
OMG! This build was HUGE! Love this video Brian! AMAZING WORK, DETAIL AND AWESOMENESS all wrapped up in this great video!!! Again AWESOME and AMAZING! LOVED IT! Not only are the doors beautiful, it’s so much fun to watch your film work too!
Thank you so much. A ton of credit has to be given to Carissa for how well she edited this episode. So fun what she did with the footage and the music. Couldn’t do it without her!
Wow. You guys. ……WOW I’m speechless. 😅👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Awesome film! Well done! 🙂
Thank you!!
This is where the fun begins
Such a great build… Such a massive build…and I love the details such as the thumbnail, things that went sideways and how you fixed it. And the acting sequences were greats. I look forward to what you do to blur the aesthetics together and also the awakening of video to your podcast
Thank you so much!
Wonderful. I hope you cable both sides of the doors together, so moving either side moves both sides.
Thanks! We have plans for automation and such with the doors in the future.
Most excellent build you guys! Thanks for continuing to inspire all of us!
Thanks for watching!
I like it twice, first because of the prop itself and second because of how good it blends into a Star Wars theme. You could perfectly take that door and put it in the corridors of the Tantive IV.
Thank you so much!
Very, very well done my friend!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love it! Absolutely perfect execution!
Thank you!!
And the hits keep coming!
Lol! We hope so!
So worth the wait. Great job.
Thank you so much Lisa!!!
really nice guys :) next project, the Nostromo ship (maybe smaller scale) love the production and the end result as well!
I'd love a model version of the Nostromo! Thanks for watchin!
Brilliant 👏
Thank you!
It’s such an impressive project! INCREDIBLE!!!!
Thank you sir!
OMG!! Can I come over and play? Looks like loads of fun, great project.
careful what you wish for . . . we'll put you to work over here! LOL
Wow, just wow. Also, RIP Mark. I am already thinking of a follow-up where Mark somehow survives outside the airlock and gets back inside (due to lack of airlock 2-factor security or something) but is somehow ..." changed" and starts picking off the remaining crew one by one. 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. Amazing production, as usual., BTS, bloopers, and a great filmic aspect to tie into the build. #teamworkdreamwork with the three of you!
Thank you so much! So glad you like it. And don’t worry, Mark will be back. He always come back!
Just watched aliens like 10 minutes ago and then i see this video. So perfect. awesome build you guys!!!
Awesome!!
Realy nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Lol so cute. Made my day….
LoL, good to hear!
The more builds you do the more amazed I am. This was such an awesome project. I watched some of it unfold on Instagram, Magnificent. Makes me wish I had a bigger house where I could make something on that scale.,
Thank you so much!
Nice to see you even worked in the Ron Cobb Semiotic Icon for airlock! James Cameron even included those into Aliens in 86’. Nice in-universe continuity.
Of course. Ron Cobb was instrumental in the design on Alien and Aliens. Loved his work. We are going to be doing more of the Semiotic Standards here very soon as well.
It needs an alien poster behind the glass like it's looking through at you.
I was thinking more of an actual sculpted Xenomorph coming through the doors 😜
Every time I see your builds, I think to myself if I ever come into money (lotto lol). I am so going to offer you a job to make me a sci fi themed lounge/game room. 😊
Thank you!
Ooooo......Star War Alien mashup!!!!! Love it!!!
Thank you!
This is so awesome! Came here from ILTMS
Thank you
Love it, when I build my own house, I will make the studio entrance where my collection will be to be like this airlock door, only with a locking mechanism of course 😁❤ If I could install an automatic function and a manual override would be so cool.
Awesome
The amount of work and details is simply insane, but you did an amazing job, all I can say is 👏👏
Also nice and funny video 😉👍
Thank you Iván!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Personally I think those mistakes are happy mistakes if there is such a thing. The trim really worked. Great work as always
Like Bob Ross said, “Happy Little Accidents”
@@TheSmugglersRoom hopefully I can make a start on my own much smaller room next year, just can't decide if I should go for something on planet with stone walls, regular furniture that fits the world or go all in with the spaceship interior, I prefer the spaceship idea but I feel it will be much more work to pull it off convincingly and that scares me
Funny and amazing stuff. You guys have to have sore ribs at the end of each day. Thanks for the fun and awesome design! Happy Halloween!
Thanks bud! Yep, we are certainly worn out around here.
@@TheSmugglersRoom lol well I meant from chuckling all day
Одна из самых крутых частей, спасибо!!
Thank you!
Wizard!😁
;) thank ya!
This is just great. You guys really outdid yourselves. I’m curious how long this took from start to finish (or as finished as it now stands)?
Thank you so much! I don't have an exact time unfortunately. We started the project in mid August, however we didn't work on it every day, but a bit at a time. I know in the last three weeks we probably had 40 hours or so on it to get it to this point. Even with that we are still missing some key things that we will have to add here shortly.
Looks good.
Thanks!
I can't get over how much the stormtrooper's comlink effect sounds just like one from an actual Lucasfilm production. Sorcery?
LOL, it is a little sorcery. I don't have a full comlink built, so I alter it in software.
Hi thanks for a great build and video! What is the name of that cool song in the beginning of the video?
Wow! Firstly, didn’t notice a hernia. Secondly, you need to get yourself a set of wood clamps!
LOL!!! You rock man. I do have a set of wooden clamps as well!
Action. We're walking. We're panning. We're looking. We're cracking up. Annnnnd take 42. Action.
Love this build. Sorry you lost Mark in the process. But, he was, after all, only a stormtrooper.
Question: did I miss how you diffused the clear acrylic for the lights on the column? They looked like the light was nicely diffused. I was thinking of suggesting using P95 Matte Clear (or matte white) acrylic.
Thank you Deanna! Filming those goofy things was almost the most fun part!
for the diffusion i used packing material. It works great!
@@TheSmugglersRoom y’all seem to have a lot of fun. Lots of goofing time to choose from? For me? I have lots of fun watching your videos. You got me through a very long night last night. Rewatched an endless stream of your channel. (No! I’m not to count how many hours it was.)
Bob Ross taught the world that, "there are no mistakes, only Happy Little Accidents"
Indeed!
Wonderful result, Guys! Saw that Raspberry Pi in the greeblie bin... any chance we could get a Star Wars Raspberry Pi project in the near future??? I have 12 older models that need a purpose!!!!!! Love y'all to the fully armed and operational station and back!
Great idea. We need to try that out.
how and where can you ge the diffuser plastic for lights? I tried looking everywhere and couldn't find anything
The acrylic we used was clear. I picked it up from Delvie’s Plastic. You can order from their shop online. I then sprayed the backside with a simply matte finish sealer. Then on the inside I layered in two sheets of simple packing material that you use to wrap packages in.
I wouldn't suggest putting this video on your Acting Demo reel. LMAO! 🤣
WOW
Any plans to automate the door open/close?
yes, eventually we will
I'd like to thank the academy...
I love the Alien content! Don't get me wrong, I am Star Wars (he says in almost a defensive manner) . But I'm a huge Alien(s) fan as well. By the way everybody knows that Bryan is spelled with a Y. You really need to get that fixed.
I’m with you, Alien(s) is some of the best films ever made. And don’t be silly, any self respecting Brian knows there’s no “why” in Brian🤣
4:57 Best horror movie of all time? Which one? Bambi? 😂🤣
Lol
We've got Movie Sign!!
Movie sign?
@@TheSmugglersRoom It's a reference to Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Alien door reminded me of it.
@@WarhavenSC oooooh!!! I gotcha 🤣
*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*
If you set your router bit lower on the shaft, you wouldn't have to sand that lip off that it left.
The lip we were actually talking about was inside the curve. Not the edge that you see in the window. That was done on purpose. We wanted that. I didn’t explain well.
whats did you use to seal the mdf?
We used multiple layers of a water based sanding sealer.
I question how the face hugger was able to get mark with his helmet.
Shhh….don’t question it. Also don’t ask how Mark and the Facehugger got ejected, but the helmet stayed…unmarred.
we wondered that too . . . LOL
Facehuggers are talented little creatures! LOL
Anyone got a songlist for this video?
Veri cool end nyce
Thank you
There’s stuff called paint stripper and take a few minutes to work..
Cool
You can never have too many clamps.
You got that right!
Got to have the star trek sound effect.
Star Trek sound? Not on this door, LOL!
@@TheSmugglersRoom going to drive through the town from "masters of the universe" take a side street and see "Mr. Strickland's house" from back to the future. After work.
Cool build, but the red X should be centered. Where it's positioned now looks like a mistake.
Thanks, but the red X in the actual film is off center, so we matched it. Thanks for watching.
@@TheSmugglersRoom Well, then, never mind. LOL
@@InformantNet LOL 😂
So einen stift hab ich auch..
What's an Aluminum Falcon?! You let a bunch of kids blow up my Death Star?!
LOL
You set your bit too deep/used one not a proper size. Also you should get an orbital sander. It will make the sanding a little smoother and hide imperfection rather than create them. But very nice build.
Yep, I sure did. But I actually liked the little ridge it left on the piece. So in the end it turned out alright. I do have an orbital sander as well. Thanks for watching
@@TheSmugglersRoom came out great. I sent your video to my wife to ask if I could do this in the basement. She said sure so 🙏
sounds like the beginning from evil dead...🤣😂🤣 A book bound in human skin and written in blood wrapped saying dont read or open 😂🤣🤣😂
cool make ! I love alien its an ace film but I also love my little pony and one year at pony con (where they have a destroy a fake competition ) I made an alien themed one with a fake (not hasbro) my little pony with a face hugger and one with a chest buster as the theme was sci-fi tat year , Iit came 1st place XD oh and *jonesey is best character :D
That's awesome!
If the Alien Franchise and Star Wars shared a universe, I don't think, the Xenomorphs would survive :D
Jedi would use the Force to keep the Xenos at bay :D
I don't know. Jedi are pretty awesome but Xenomorphs . . . it would be a heck of a fight!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Jedi would need the help of the Sith with their Force Lightning :D it turns out, Xenos are weak to electricity :D
I wanna see that kind of fight :D
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks!
Wish you were my neighbor. Ps..when in doubt ..airlock
LOL, we need an entire community of us living near one another. Can you imagine that neighborhood? LOL
@@TheSmugglersRoom that would be soooooooooo sick. You do some awesome sht .
