all right so you guys have seen this set now we've used it in quite a few videos already and that's only a small portion of this space it's amazing how quickly we filled this up with crap like well this guy Jack's not crap that's actually pretty fun but you can see we put down some rugs and stuff here we've got one very important area to work on though right there because that's where our a lot of the magic is gonna happen that's where this is gonna be my new and improved ultimate PC building space I bought toolboxes and stuff but we gotta get this all set up we gotta do something about some of this echo you got the carpet back down on the floor we're gonna do some stuff at the backside of this set wall so that it will integrate with here and so anyway we got some things to talk about and we're just gonna kind of bring you guys along for the ride you guys seem to really be enjoying the build series and I'm really excited about this one here because imagine having this much space dedicated to just building computers and I want to make it as awesome as possible but for as cheap as possible because I'm cheap Coursera is proud to present their new Hydra X line of custom water cooling products the new XG 5 series radiators offer the perfect balance of fendente and airflow to keep your loop cool and quiet the XG 7 water blocks feature full coverage cooling through GPU while

click the link in the description below alright so we're switching over to shotgun mic because I'm gonna be moving around dealing with stuff down here and I don't want to get my very expensive level or mic tangled up on something but here are some work benches that we've got these gonna be going in the back we're gonna have a very similar table thing in the middle of the floor like our old set was grass some racks over here we'd have some toolboxes and shelving yeah so there's a lot to get done here one of the things I had originally talked about doing here was building a set for the shop and the reason for that was because of these so I was worried about the panels being here and I thought man I don't want to cover those up because code dictates I have to have four feet of clearance in front of the transformer physically the transformer if you come over here the transformer sticks out about a foot and a half from the wall so that means four feet from there the end of the shop would have to be about right here so that's a lot of space we're gonna loose I figured if it's gonna be a workshop anyway why the hell not have it right here in the shop accessible one thing we also we're still gonna have to do which I can't do myself I've been trying to do this is so far I've done this 100% myself but I have to bring in a licensed contractor c10 electrician to bring conduit along this wall I want plugs on the wall I want plugs over there for the set the sets got its own electrical which is within code but I need I want to bring in dedicated 20 amp circuits cuz if you check this out we've got plenty of room for expansion so we could literally have every plug be on its own dedicated 20 amp that's great news for overclocking so yeah here's what I do I think we're gonna set up maybe some of our time lapse II thing like we tend to do and then what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and talk about kind of the setup of the shop today's goal is not have to shop be a hundred percent done that's that takes time you guys have seen sets and YouTube space and all that takes time to evolve but we need the bat we need the foundation the backbone we need things to kind of go where they're gonna go before it can sort of start filling in the blanks so by me using this corner and this wall which I originally didn't want to put anything on this wall it's a brand new wall that they installed brand new paint and I was like man well my lease is up if I leave I gotta put this wall back and that's okay it's white how hard could that be does this fat make me look fat the idea here with this is that I can work on computers and have plenty of space for tools and like one of the issues we had on the other set was that you get phone calls while you're trying to shoot one of the problems we have with the other set and I really need to sand that clean this is that this twist my space this was all I had to build this right here and so the problem was if I was in the middle of like working on skunk works or something I've got to being everywhere in fittings and trash and just it's like crap we got this other video we got to make so then it's just like really on the floor and then do that thing and then the floor was just like oh my god like that's why you never saw the floor because it was pretty bad but now look at this we technically have a works based on top of the tool box we have to work benches back here and the main thing plus all this shelving space so the idea here I'm probably gonna put things here that we use all the time like probably like one of each rise in some of the CPUs and stuff things that are not gonna be like stored away on the shelves because the shelves in the other studio did two things one they gave us a place to put things the shelves work right they also gave us a backdrop we have controls with the backdrop here so we have full control over that which is why now this shelving here is gonna be a place we're gonna have bins with like cables and piping and tubing and soft tubing and all that sort of stuff labeled in its place and if we're working on something and we got to come back to it later we can like quickly put a label up here or a piece of tape and write skunkworks v2 whatever right and then put those parts here and then that's where it goes it's we're ready to keep working on it so instead of having this space be the only workspace I have now we've got all this so it's like a ram upgrade all right we download it so much RAM yes I kind of went back and forth on what tool box I wanted to get because I've got some pretty nice tool boxes at home but they're not full there each of them are half-full so we decided to get one of the smaller husky boxes which joke they're not Maximo cannot snap on I'm not spending five ten to fifteen thousand dollars on the tool box this is way more storage than I need for the tools are gonna be you know through me doing it and the products we're gonna be working on but the cool thing is this creepy the workbench so if I wanted to check this out if I needed the space like for cabinets and stuff there boom yeah I mean so we're gonna do right now is we're gonna head over to Home Depot are some things we need to get I'm gonna be putting sound dampening or the sound foam on the back of the set you guys kind of saw me start doing that at the beginning of this whole build series and some of you were really confused as to why we're doing that that's because anywhere we can stop reflections is a good thing we have lots of it so why not so we've to get a staple gun to staple those to the back of that cut the hardwood we were gonna do adhesive but it's just it was over spraying everywhere we need to get a sander so I could stand this off it's got gold all over it from the gold build it's sticky this is real this is real wood lots good to get screws for it and then debating getting a cabinet but I don't know where it would go now because I'll be honest I thought we were gonna have more room in here than we do in terms of like the shelving and those benches and then I'm debating putting a pegboard back here but everyone does peg boards right I mean Steve to the pegboard Kyle did a pegboard - did the pegboard in his studio so was due a different name bored everybody at lunch cause were fat yes I know gee it's not the right kind it should be this we should be that this isn't a soundstage okay we're just doing like I said the very start of this whole series if I can get 70 or 80% of the result for less than half the price then I'm fine with that in fact this fight cost like 20 percent of the actual stuff but you can see we decided not to build a wall we just wanted to leave it open so we have more space a wall would've taken in more depth so we have a much wider set now when we originally would have we had to put a square back on up there the glue came off on that one we got to fix that but what we need to do now as you see how I believe this is this it's filthy it's sticky something good on there we walked on it when we were moving there's paint on here when we did the gold build I am now going to sand the top of this and I don't think I'm gonna refinish it because that's such a light-colored wood that's such a light-colored wood I think I'm just gonna let this be whatever color it looks like it is after sanding but because it is real wood we can get away with that it's not like a laminate at least yeah it is real wood you see cracks and stuff that we've made in there so let's do that all right if you look at the surface now I got rid of all the paint that was on here I just I should have probably used the coarser grain this was just a 320 finishing pad as you can see it's very dusty but we're gonna do right now is we're gonna do it just a little bit of a hack something that one of my woodshop teachers told me yeah I took shop what what about it so one of the things that you use to kind of hydrate and keep wood nice is a citrus oil believe it or not okay so now we're just gonna rub this in nicely and as you can see now all my paints is gone the scratches we put in there with like the the knives and stuff when we cut things are still there but this is the 279 dollar tabletop from Ikea I was not about to buy another one but as you can see already not bad right compared to how it looked when I started one thing it's nice too is because it's so warm and dry in this warehouse and there's still have any air conditioning out here and it's 108 degrees Fahrenheit today this is so dry it's gonna this oil is gonna dry overnight really quickly so you guys are used to this set and here's what we got done today I present to you the new and improved foundation for the J's $0.02 makerspace plenty of counter space I'm thinking about even getting a 3d printer to be honest there's been times I've wanted to 3d print my own parts but I never had space for it but obviously we do it is super vanilla obviously right now there's nothing on these shelves feel just kind of stuck these these coolers here for now cuz this is like I said earlier this is not intended to be storage there will be a whole storage section over there but this is not intended to be stored just as intended to be commonly used parts that we do for builds and other videos and stuff and then once the shelves are filled up you won't really see the back of the other set wall over there yeah so the biggest issue I have so far is philistine over there where like a cam would be with a big white wall behind me it's pretty plain obviously and so I want this to be like ya see it looks like I'm just in the matrix or something and I'm like guns lots of guns right so oh man ok well you know California what I did at the other studio as you guys saw is I put some of my favorite builds back there the thread Ripper build has been back there the whole time you know symbiotes skunkworks was there for a little while the D frame build our test bench I might have a permanent test bench setup here I don't know yet how I want to handle that I'm kind of thinking about doing a test bench cart that's always there and can roll around and we just have to plug it into power and it's ready to go for whatever testing we want to do but I don't want to utilize this space for any sort of like things that are gonna reside on there like builds and stuff I think that's what this area is gonna be for over here because if you guys look we've got a lot of carpet on the floor over here to kind of give you an idea of how big the next set is going to be I want this to be almost like not really a living room but just a nerd space if that makes sense this was designed to be kind of like a home office this is obviously our build shop I scratch the idea of recreating our current set because I'm frustrated there I feel crammed I feel like that place is a source of anxiety for me to be honest I know it's a youtuber Newberg's I did know that none of that crap it's just I didn't like working in there why recreate the thing that bothers me so I'm thinking I want this to be like a dual zone kind of a that not only is a functioning set but also like lounge area for when Brian's here and we're just kind of kicking back we could have table and chairs are like a couch and a TV and you know that you can hook up to for showing your screen and all that sort of stuff like a real relaxing kind of a greenroom meeting space and then another like standing set over here where we could do like bigger showcase stuff like case reviews and that sort of stuff for when the shop isn't being utilized because I still think I'm gonna spend most of my time over here but I want this space over here to make sense to and I'm sure that this is where guys were like I thought you were gonna park your car in here no that was that would've been nice but that's certainly not the idea this area over here is where storage is going to kind of be we'll probably have two racks against the wall and then two more racks right here in the middle so that you can get to either side of them with plenty of storage there but if you if you turn about look at this carpet again so I'm so excited for this I can't wait to see what comes together over here you can see we started getting lumber I know the last time I was like guys what would you do in the space you guys all told me what I was doing wrong no if this were your space right here what would you build in them I'm looking for instant inspiration and some ideas so what we'll try this again this time without as much of the abrasion as I said in our interview or a JC sense QA but yeah look at that this this is I'm excited for this and then we still have an editing den to build I think by the time we're done building or lease we'll be up guys we're gonna go thanks for watching the build series will continue we've got lots to build out here we still need to get HVAC out here our HVAC literally consists of this three ton unit right here blowing into the office with this shop fan blowing cold air out here overworking that 3 ton unit but hey keeps it about 85 or so out here which is manageable considering is almost 110 today all right I'm rambling now thanks for watching guys we'll see you in the next one did it even focus that's
