Building a Spaceship in my Garage // Episode 1

[@Jakerton]

Why did KZbin recommend this before I could binge the whole project 😭

[@Jakerton]

Jokes aside, can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thanks for taking us with you for the journey!

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@Jakerton oh man, I know the feeling with some of the other makers I follow hahaha But on the bright side, you have probably a year of semi-regular content to look forward to!

[@lulurenouard]

Your fabrication skills are consistently impressive, can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@Ranormor]

…I’m so very angry I found this at the beginning of the build. 🤣 I wanted to binge watch the entire process. lol Can’t wait for more!

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@Ranormor hahaha this is a high compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, there will be more fairly soon 😄

[@LiamsManual]

I can tell you already have lots of experience with this film making stuff, cant wait to see more!

[@LuxTaylorArt]

Thank you! I'm pretty darn new to YouTubing but I've been obsessed with filmmaking since I was like ten years old, shooting stuff on my family's bulky straight-to-VHS camera hahaha Sometimes despite all the practice it still feels like I'm just a backyard filmmaker shooting impulsive summer movies with my pals, and honestly? I love that feeling.

[@MacroAggressor]

@@LuxTaylorArt It's pretty rare to see someone under 1k subs with such an engaging presentation. First year or two are usually pretty cringy and awkward. Seems your experience in film has served you well here. Looking forward to the rest of the build.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@MacroAggressor heck yeah! I super appreciate the encouragement. I still don't feel like I have my sea legs, so outside perspective is very helpful haha Thanks for joining along, too! ✨

[@CreateNateCreate]

Duuddde this was awesome! The paper sketch alone was already incredible lol! Really happy to see you are documenting this process! Can't wait to see more!

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@CreateNateCreate thank you so much! I'm pretty hyped, glad you'll be along for the ride 😄

[@DanielMakaiBlanchard]

I love the hammer naming! Also agree about the blood-thirsty table saw. I want space for a dedicated sled and outfeed table sooo bad, but their bloodlust is only exceeded by their shop-square-footage lust....and our incomes just can't abide. So no table saw on my personal barge for now (but I did get a K40 given to me recently!). I'm very much looking forward to the cockpit build (and the rest of the ship). Living on a boat is very similar, and it's amazing how much utility can be crammed into a small space over time and iteration.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

Heck yeah! Some day I'll have one large building for whatever I'm actually making, and a separate one just for Big Tools hahahaha In many of my my free moments when we were filming on the Vulcan I was studying the surfaces, spaces, materials, and shapes in prep for this. I love seeing extremely specialty purpose-built spaces

[@ChuckRoss77]

Well Lux...I'm not sure why KZbin sent your genius in my general direction...but I'm now 100% invested and on board with this project. I cannot wait for the next episode. I'm a machinist by trade...so if you need a guy....I know a guy. 😆

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@ChuckRoss77 ooooooh heck yeah! I'm glad you'll be along for the ride - finding other Makers is exactly the community I'm hoping for here. And some day I may very well do just that! I'm still a novice in machining, outside of CNC work ✨

[@fogfestival]

Been following the dynamo dream project for a while, and always loved the props (like the bottle scanner and stuff). Can't wait for the next episode! (also, absolutely adore the little intermittent storytelling moments)

[@LuxTaylorArt]

So glad to have you along for the ride! It feels great to have folks who enjoy not just the episodes themselves at face-value, but the facets that comprise them, too. Thank you for your support :D

[@river_river_river]

This is such an exciting series and your presentation style is so fun! ✨🪼

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@river_river_river yay, thank you! I appreciate the encouragement 😄

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Oh yeaaaa! Finally! I was looking forward to this series! Can't wait to see how you detail it! Keep rockin! ❤

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@sliceoflifefilm heck yeahhh ✨ I'm thrilled you'll be following along!

[@PeregrineChurch]

Fantastic first episode!! Love seeing your build process, looking forward to seeing it all come together 😄

[@danje748]

I can't wait to see season 2, and the next part of this series as well ;)

[@LuxTaylorArt]

New releases for both will be out soon! ✨

[@danje748]

@@LuxTaylorArt looking forward to it, I still remember watching the first episode way way back =)

pretty cool video nerd, take my subscription.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

I accept this offer with delight! Hahaha

[@toamastar]

im sorry what?? I have to thank KZbin for recommending this video because i seem to have stumbled upon an absolute gem! Wow man, i love everything about this! :D

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@toamastar I'm thrilled to hear you liked it so much, thank you for the support! Hope you'll enjoy joining along for the rest of the ride, I'm gonna do my best to just keep making these better and better as I get more practice making videos 😄

[@bakerstudio9335]

This looks incredible! I can't wait for the rest of this series to come out!

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@bakerstudio9335 thank you! More soon ✨

[@BIBuildy]

I was hoping you were building like an actual... for-real spaceship.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@BIBuildy perhaps some day, after I get better at aeronautics!

[@ge2719]

probably would have been extra cool thing to build this as an actual permanent structure outdoors, or even as a portable home on the back of a truck. though that would probably double the cost. if it was built as a functional portable home it would ensure it definitely ends up looking like a real lived in space :P

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@ge2719 oh man I wish hahahha Part of the approach for this (at least in WA state) is that for 'impermanent' structures like film or theater sets, permitting requirements are different. Getting this approved as a permanent structure would probably be a nightmare, although it'd be a heck of a cool project!

[@ge2719]

@@LuxTaylorArt that's too bad. In the UK most councils allow building anything under a set height and if it takes up less than half of the garden space of the land. And if it's on wheels there's no need for planning permission at all, but then you'd need to follow rules for weight limits and size limits for what can be towed on the road.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@ge2719 that's rad! I hope lots of UK folks will start building spaceships too hahaha

[@Luka1180]

It would also be awesome if you could hire VFX artists. I have that friend of mine who went to VFS who I believe is still interested. But as I understand it, Ian is also a little hesitant about this sometimes, because what if he can't communicate what he wants well enough and it turns out too different and there is likely a bunch of other reasons too that makes it hard to let go more of it. Probably also a habit thing.

[@audiotonic]

You have earned a returning viewer and a subscriber my friend , Great Video !!

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@audiotonic aw heck yeah! Thank you for your support ✨

[@laurenkohn6205]

This is so impressive!! You bring so much skill and care to your craft, and the editing of the video is just fantastic. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@LifeofAntontheOfficial]

cool

[@ConradWrobel]

Now I want to know the names of all the rest of your tools, too!

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@ConradWrobel oh uhh literally all of the rest of them are named Steve. It's actually really hard to tell them apart without unique names, but I'm managing

[@TheOfficialOriginalChad]

Alright I’m in. Looking forward to the rest of the build! But please do get a lav…the audio is uncomfortable to say the least.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@TheOfficialOriginalChad as I continue to learn how to make videos and hopefully one day soon can afford to invest in new additional AV equipment, every aspect will gradually improve ✨

[@keesmoolenaar]

Love this! ❤️

[@BubblesculptorTravels]

Correct terminology is "use safety gear to protect remaining eye", after loosing first eye!

[@LuxTaylorArt]

Hahaha, good to know! I'll update my lingo accordingly

[@TheInsaneupsdriver]

I'd love to do this.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@TheInsaneupsdriver I'm hoping that as I continue to release build videos (and eventually tutorials!) that more independent artists will find ways to incorporate Making Rad Stuff Just Because They Can into their lives ✨

[@Jakerton]

Bro 13:10 has my ROLLING 😂

[@Jakerton]

Also if KZbin ends up age restricting your video ive found that it’s better to use a random funny sound instead of the broadcast censor sound because it can trigger automated age restrictions due to profanity despite it being censored. Hopefully doesn’t happen to you but I’ve s****** my ******* a few times having to re upload

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@Jakerton hahahaha I'm so glad you liked it so much And I appreciate the tip! That'll be good to keep in mind, although hopefully I don't **** myself in the *** enough for it to matter again 😆

@@whattheheckisthisthing thanks but it's probably fine, I've got a spare!

[@Vontux]

Where can we watch season 1 of whatever this is for?

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@Vontux Right, so! *Technically, season 1 is from a pretty good while back, and you can watch the first season of Dynamo here: youtube.com/@karmapirates However, the show as we're making it now (Dynamo Dream) is pretty far past that, and you don't have to watch the original series to jump into the new stuff. In which case, here's episode one of the current season, and you can take it from there! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqSqi5Joh9p9aKM

[@AJB2K3]

Its a building that identifies as a garage, don't discriminate! 😂😂😂

[@Koto-Sama]

Didn't expect to hear Ian's name here. How is he doing?

[@LuxTaylorArt]

Hard at work! He's been going ham wrapping up VFX for the next episode of Dynamo Dream over this past year, and it's riiiiight at the finish line

[@AverageBeast]

Will you be releasing any of the STL files for some of the props? 6:33

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@AverageBeast in time I'm planning to do actual tutorials on my small and medium build processes, including releasing files on the patreon for folks to work with if they wanna make a 1-to-1 😄

[@AverageBeast]

@@LuxTaylorArt I want to do a very similar project in my office (not for filming but just for me) so this is going to be a huge source of inspiration. I’m leaning more nostromo vibes.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@AverageBeast oh heck yeah! That's gonna be a top-tier office

[@Luka1180]

Do you have other CNC tools besides a 3D printer Lux? Like, what about a mill, or plasma cutter or something like that? Or laser cutter? I have recently seen some insane DIY plasma cutter and CNC mill builds, I believe one of them cost the maker "only" under 5k dollars. This for instance, which even has a link to the plans in the description (not free ones) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqKaXoV-aq6UgrM And this DIY plasma cutter CNC cost 350 dollars to make lol: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWGZg5Zjot-Wi7c Mills will usually be more expensive, it seems. That is, when making it yourself. In general, plasma cutter CNCs that you purchase will be LESS expensive than CNC mills. Or so it seems, which is kind of weird, right? That building the mill is more expensive than building the plasma cutter, yet buying the plasma cutter is more expensive than buying the mill.

[@LuxTaylorArt]

@@Luka1180 yeah! CNC laser cutter/engraver, and mill. Technically the embroidery machine is CNC too, I think? Hahaha None of them are high-power, so I'm somewhat limited in what materials I can work with (no metals, alas) but it's still an amazing set of capabilities to have! And I am planning to improve those some day, when I have space and money to spare
