hi everyone it's austin john of the youtube channel austin john plays
and it's time for another studio renovation
first things first i did not do a tour slash video of what i did last time i ended up not
really being happy with the room last year there were restrictions on getting things
and back when i had my setup for sword and shield there was like so much personality and then i got
these glass shelves there's way too much stuff on here right now because i'm clearing out the room
um but the glass is so much sound reflection the lights inside of here are way too bright they're
weird like 120 instead of 12. so there's like a built-in transformer in here and it's like
impossible to find lights with less lumens than that so this was a struggle bus the sound
reflection is way too harsh i did get these dope swords i bought two of them and then i reached out
on when the third one would be available and then the person was like i'll just send it to you for
a shout out and i'm like you sure because i want to pay you he's like nah just give me a shout out
and i've been chatting him out for over a year shout out to hylia store on etsy link down below
this has been my desk for a while and this is where you used to see a backdrop
i still need to clear out the last little bit over there but this was the backdrop and i'm
going to be getting the studio renovation tomorrow morning i still need to get you know some things
off of the wall these are the hangers for the um for the sound insulation panels like over there
so i need to remove those a little bit and then get rid of the screws do a little bit of patching
get rid of this guy and move the bookshelf out of here that's my router and everything so it
still needs to remain plugged in right now but we are doing a full wall build and i'm very excited
for it this right here is the blueprints that i drew up for this it's essentially going to be
shelves but these two mirrored this one exactly shelves down here and then here i'm going to have
big panels which are actually these bad boys i know you've seen these on amazon and you're like
they're so neat i don't know whatever i would ever use them for and they're pvc which is like a hard
plastic they're extremely thin and lightweight i'd say it's maybe a pound maybe a pound and a half
and i'm going to be having these as a background texture and that's only going to work because
all of this is actually 12 inch walls that come out and then i'm going to have integrated leds
i have 120 feet of leds ready to go and they're going to go inside of these rails right here these
rails have these little diffusion strips so the light is going to be diffused even more because
well they are very cheap leds there's no diffusion on there whatsoever
and i i went with these just off of amazon reviews and youtube reviews i may end up swapping them out
for hue but i did want to try a much cheaper alternative first before i blow i don't know
600 on 120 feet of led strips this blue line is gonna be coming around here up and across and
that's going to be the leds i'm going to have crown molding on top of it covering the leds so
you're not even going to see these strips which is really nice down here are shelves for things
and i'm going to be hanging something here not going to spoil it yet big reveal and a video
something here i actually don't know what yet and something here and this is actually going to
be a neon that youtube sent me which is so dope i'm hoping it's not too bright for on camera so
we'll see how that plays out and that's my lumber list my actual dad is going to be helping me build
because he's really good with woodworking and stuff and originally these were 1 by 2 by 12 beans
so we brought them down to one inch and which is actually what like seven eighths so they're
going to be much thinner now and we're still plotting out exactly how we're going to be
doing some things one inch base beams instead of two inch the shelves and everything else and
i'm very excited for this oh and these these are eight in eight inch wide seven feet tall
entire uh ignore that this is now seven feet tall instead of eight feet giant pieces of frosted
plexiglass with four led strips behind it and then i have where are they here we go esto connectors
or esto connectors and these will hold the plexiglas in place they're just plastic that snap
in if i ever need to get behind the plexiglas i easily can and that's great fun fact that's
what uh djs use for facades and stuff pretty much everything i need for the build also as
far as these the instructions say to use some like adhesive caulk i'm probably just going to end up
doing double-sided tape because i'm also going to be putting nails or screws through them at a later
pointing time which is part of the individual parts of the build and because the lights are so
far away i feel like we're gonna have some really cool shadows showing up hopefully fingers crossed
on that that's the price of lumber now so right here we have the top board bottom board these are
the upright pieces that we're going to be doing we're going to be assembling it all down here
because well we have a lot more room to work this is my dad say hi dad hello we're going to assemble
it all here so we have the finite dimensions and it's easier for cutting and you know we could
just blow the sawdust outside instead of having to worry about you know doing it all upstairs
it's just gonna be easier this way so after three and a half ish hours we finally have put
all of it together we have the bottom shelves in place we have the plexiglas lined up properly
and we decided to put some top shelves in here so it's essentially going to be
one two three pieces that all connect to the baseboard upstairs and then it's all just going to
line in place and then we have these two securing pieces really the only thing left to do here
is to take care of all of the crown molding and the leds that are going to be underneath it
and then a lot of paint a lot of paint so we just went and got the last of the supplies i
needed from the home depot and here is the build and the reason that we decided that decided to
build it here is because it was just a whole lot home it's a whole lot more room to work
and now that i've taken the bottom screws out and the top connecting out and the plexiglas
off each of these is like i don't know 40 pounds super light i could bring this
upstairs and just assemble it up there we're going to paint we're going to do a little bit
of putty fill for inconsistencies and then we start the wiring for all of the leds
by no means whatsoever do i consider myself like a good painter or anything i just know a
simple thing about painting if you're gonna rush it's gonna be bad if you use too much paint it's
gonna be bad like i did this one then this one then this one then that one that one that one
and just a little bit of paint i started with a roller a little roller guy right there right
and then once i was done with the roller i came back and did it with the brush and then i did
sort of like a light second coat just to make sure like i'm not actually going to see the wood
and i think it turned out pretty good now i'm just going to let this dry then it's time for leds then
backboards and fun stuff instead of measuring over and over for an exact space that i need for these
led rails i don't know maybe i'll just use an overpriced tech demo game
putting that there and
perfect good job one two switch you were good for something
well fantastic this is what the led rail strips actually look like once they're in here
it's basically these little aluminum rails that are behind this molding so you can't even see
them they go all the way up and then through a little hole that i cut at the top and then i
lay the leds in there and then we put the uh the little frosting covers on top so you don't see it
not that bad all right all three of these have the lights in there they're not very
bright right now that's on purpose because the entire room is bright because i'm doing things
now it's gonna be time to do the bottom half of the shelf by the way we are now at 13 hours 13
hours of doing this the bottom half is actually going to be this neat little brick panel thing
and it's kind of reminiscent of the background and the old breath of the wild studio and with
breath of the wild 2 and everything i thought it'd be very fitting so let's put these in that
brings us to now 10 41 started this project 13 hours ago i started to put in the diamond panels
i actually don't have anything to cut it like super duper perfect i'll probably rent something
at home depot tomorrow for that and once i do i could cut the remaining four pieces per panel
i found this scotch brand tape that's like the extreme mounting stuff and i'm going to see if
this holds up until i'm ready for you know the next step of this project also there's a little
imperfection in the wood i need to touch that up this right here is that giant plexi glass panel
put into place inside there's going to be four led strips that start at the very top
go all the way down circle around at the bottom go back up and this is the beautiful
glowing effect that it has and i love it also boom bricks down there i think it's
going to be really dope it's just a little bit of cunning tomorrow and uh and we're all done
i didn't realize i was also making a rave i mean i'm not mad at it
welcome
time to start the decorating process this cabinet right here is going to be my majora's mask one
this is from first four figures by the way i bought this i don't know 2017 this is the big
one not the the nine inch model and the eyes glow it's very subtle though and i got these
on etsy it's all all of the masks they're all in that box i actually bought this thing like
years ago and i just never did anything with it and what i'm gonna do now is i'm going to be
mounting them all up here and i think i'm going to do the same order that they were in majora's
mask on the n64 and have them all displayed you know like a like actual mass selection screen
okay i didn't think it would look as good as it actually does because it looks so good wow wow wow
i love this so much by the way there's that's a business card they're called storm cup creations
not sponsored i bought these i think the whole collection it's money i think it's like 300
or something and i could tell that this is modeled after the 3ds games
like if you look at the stone mask and stuff as opposed to the major
then 64 version but the way these all look i love it so much so so much
good morning gamers it's now the dawn of the third day and it's all done it's all done there's a few
things that still need cleaning up and changing here and there like for example i had one vertical
and one horizontal and i hate how that looks but i can't find anywhere where i combine that
additional thing for there for that hue play whatever it's called but here's everything i
have a feeling i am going to make additional marks up here and then rotate everything up one because
the mask is kind of blocking the bottom line with like the captain's hat and the iron mask
or the giant's mask over here we have the limited edition breath of the wild sword
we have a pvc figure from first four figures back there we have the metal map from the age
of calamity limited edition from japan over there that's a special thing you may know what that is
getting a little bit lower i decided to put every single zelda game that i own in chronological
order and then just my other switch games my luigi from first four figures my mario rabbit my banjo
kazooie plush two of my switch boxes actually the bottom row is all switch boxes right here we have
a bunch of my systems that i just keep handy mostly limited edition stuff down here we have
all of my old handhelds i absolutely love the way it looks i have my one mil plaque here and because
it's so golden reflectively hi i also included my jiggy and my music note from the banjo kazooie
first four figures which he's gonna remain over there because he's way too big for this
that's what she said and over here is my pokemon games i have them in clockwise chronological order
and then down here i have the authentic pokeball replica that they made which i absolutely love
and i think it's a beautiful centerpiece my shiny red gyarados plush my mega charizard pikachu plush
and these adorable little pokemon center mega charizard duo that i got from pokemon center japan
oh those are placeholders down here we have all of my additional pokemon games and the boxes my
original pokemon cards a mewtwo from burger king this custom card that someone made for me and
that pretty much wraps it up i'm in the middle of working on the daylight configuration and settings
for having things show up i think the neon is just gonna be way too bright
and it's never gonna show up properly like it even does it doesn't even show up right right right now
so it is what it is there's gonna be some slight changes there always is but thank you so much
for checking out this video vlog of me and my studio renovation for 2021 going into 2022.
