Escape Room: Command Console II

[@KB-yy7zt]

Thanks for setting the bar really high for the rest of us. I thought the last video of the base was awesome but the top is even better in my opinion. Now I have to get a cnc router.

[@GratuitousSets]

Lol- or we could just etch stuff for ya :-)

[@AppleCore360]

I just love by the end it's mostly "this is cool!" (And I agree)

[@GratuitousSets]

I still love this effect- It doesn't get old! 😎

[@nextlevel8822]

Wow. That looks awesome. The people that play that will talk about it for a long time after. Amazing work.

[@GratuitousSets]

i think WE will talk about it for a long time! Lol

[@PeterboroughescaperoomsUk]

Awesome work guys, its a joy to watch the videos, cannot wait for the next video/project.

[@GratuitousSets]

Woot!

[@jessespeer2323]

Really really cool. Looking forward to seeing how many parallax layers you can stack at into one unit in the future lol

[@GratuitousSets]

Yes! We also need to do some testing to see if there is any bleed when layers are stacked close together. I have some ideas... 😏

[@twistedendingsproductions2782]

Beautiful work guys!!!! Simply, outstanding!!!

[@GratuitousSets]

Trying...to...be...humble.....gah! It actually looks better in person!

[@twistedendingsproductions2782]

I'm sure it does as with all of your creations. You guys make it look easy. Wish I could intern for you, for free. Yes, that's how good you guys are.

[@GratuitousSets]

EDITING makes it look easy! Lol- nobody would watch a solid week of parts preparation, sourcing, cutting, drilling, tapping, carving, sanding, painting, testing... so that we have all the parts ready to go for the entertaining assembly portion! Hehehe

[@twistedendingsproductions2782]

Actually, I would as it would give me better insight to the actual techniques you use to create. It would also allow me to see your entire shop. Speaking of which, when are you putting together a shop walk-through video?

[@GratuitousSets]

I promise we will get it done- a bit trickier than we thought, trying to make it not boring for everyone else. We are working the installation right now, so we aren't it the studio. It'll be a few weeks before we can get back into it. I'll try to push it up in priority :-D

[@Warbler36]

So cool. Amazing work guys.

[@GratuitousSets]

:-D Thanks Belinda!

[@MakerAventuras]

I have to say that everything you do is cooler that the previous one. I'm subscrived since your first or second video and man, I am really glad I did! I've been building an Space Ship themed ER for the last year (yes, I'm really slow hahahah) and men do I know how much work is involved! You make really cool stuff and your videos are really well edited, congratulations ;)

[@GratuitousSets]

Time for us to lower the bar. Lol Thanks :-) We'll keep trying, and our editor will really appreciate the compliment. We often hand him a disjointed nightmare of incoherent raw footage:-/

Middle panel translation: Warning approaching plot hole event horizon (though it's spelled horisn on the planel!)

[@GratuitousSets]

Holy crap!! Nicely done, Sir!!😎

[@simonmestdagh9412]

Where can you get those types of acrylic panels?? are the patterns and lines made on request?

[@GratuitousSets]

We make them ourselves so, yes we can engrave the acrylic however you like😁 Give me a call if we can help!

[@markgearing]

Do you guys consider yourselves as having jobs? I mean, you're having WAAAY too much fun with this. Seriously, who do you think enjoys the experience more, you or the players? (Just discovered your channel, guys. Love your work. Cheers).

[@GratuitousSets]

SOMETIMES it’s work (We try not to film the boring stuff), but I can’t describe how wonderful it feels the rest of the time. I like seeing the jaw drops- lol

[@GratuitousSets]

i don't think players have enough time to actually see the detail; they're too busy :-(

[@colby3896]

You guys are amazing

[@GratuitousSets]

Thanks! But I don't know if I'd go quite that far... ;-) Hehehe

[@spreadthinly]

Massivley impressed dudes...well played :) Be interested to know which escape room this is going to? Name/location of company/room.

[@GratuitousSets]

Thanks! :-D. These are for Red Door Escape Rooms. Plano, TX. Their original location is in Southlake, TX. (Both are in the Dallas area)

[@spreadthinly]

Shame we're in the UK then ;) I'd love to employ you guys to build stuff for my rooms... :)

[@simyob]

Great videos and very passionate, You guys have the same sort of passion that makes people watch top gear. May i ask what cnc machine you use.?

[@GratuitousSets]

Wow, thanks! That's high praise 😁 Our CNC machine comes from a company called "Industrial CNC". It is basically a Chinese machine assembled in the US. I would NOT recommend one. We plan to replace it with a higher quality machine when we're able.

[@bogdanbara8982]

Hi guys, First of all, this is amazing. Great inspirations for all of us. I'm thinking of doing something similar, but I can't find the info on how you made those signs on the glass. If you can let us know it would be highly apreciated. :) Thank you for these great videos!

[@GratuitousSets]

Hi, Bogdan! It's acrylic (not glass) and we etched (really engraved) it by designing all of the graphics with the computer and using an engraving bit in our CNC machine. You'll see the same techniques the more recent SPACESHIP videos. I've seen people on KZbin scratch the design with a sharpened stylus. It's not nearly as clean, but it's functional. If you'd like, I can email you closeup photos if it helps. Lemme know if this helps or if you have any other questions :-)

[@GratuitousSets]

It could also be done (very carefully) with a Dremel tool or a similar rotary tool

[@milosjeftic1510]

woow , very good job! i could not do it like you did and i realllly wont it :) what is the thickness of acrylic, depth of engraved lines and shape of cnc "drill"? TNX

[@GratuitousSets]

We used 3/8" acrylic (sorry for inches) we used a 60 degree "V" bit and we set the depth of the engraving by the line width we desire. Because it is a v bit, the deeper the cut, the wider the line.

[@GratuitousSets]

The 3/8 acrylic is a result of the LED tape being 3/8 wide

[@smappdooda]

These videos are great prop porn. My team and I have some ideas I think you guys would love to dig your teeth into.

[@GratuitousSets]

Hehehe PM me or email me. Btw: your channel is clean and beautiful- nicely constructed! Btw#2 We are friends with Randy Pitchford (and family). Have you performed at his "The Peacock Theater"?

[@smappdooda]

What's your email? Thanks. I know them. I have not performed there yet.

[@janislacplesis1118]

Soo, how much and can you ship to London?

[@GratuitousSets]

Lol- these are bespoke games, but we are designing some retail pieces, or we can custom design for you. We can ship anywhere :-) email is [e-mail]
