How To Make A Star Trek Communicator | Smugglers Room April Fools

[@Sancholubo]

I dont understand why people give these videos a thumbs down. I love them and the creativity. The extra roleplaying is a bonus.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you Shawn! We don't understand either, but we are glad you liked it and hope you gave it a thumbs up!

[@RDGoodner]

This is a great April Fools joke. Actually funny, while also being the kind of content we look for, instead of deceptive and insipid. May the Force be with you while you live long and prosper.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! We hoped it would be fun and valuable at the same time!

[@ericsweetman9973]

This was fantastic! I’m a big fan of both franchises (and several others), and this was a welcome prank.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

So glad you like it Eric. We are fans of both as well, and this seemed like a great way to introduce Star Trek on the channel!

[@ProjectCambrian]

I love these rare instances of Roleplaying! I wouldn't mind seeing more whenever the notion hits you again!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! We really enjoy it too. Thanks for the kind words, we'll keep'em coming!

[@Tanymsun]

Love the Galaxy Quest reference on the back of your shirt. Though it should have been Crewman #6.

[@OverclockedWorkshop]

This was brilliant!!!! I loved it. All the references and contrasts. I am glad you made a Star Trek prop too. Keep up the great work!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks a ton! So Glad you liked it!

[@IDMTB3D]

Love it, I keep Star Trek sounds in my R2 to play at events always a good time :)

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

HA!!! That's fantastic!!!!

[@SKSProps]

Fantastic! I really liked that you showed the rub n buff didn’t work for this application but then gave an alternative method 👍

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks Steve! Much appreciated brother!

[@ivangonzales5667]

Your abilities to build sci fi stuff of every place in the galaxy or other universes is evident Nice work 👏👏👍

[@SolidStuDoo]

I want to just quickly say that you've really helped me be much more careful and accurate when making at home. I used to think that the 'worn, used look' was achieved by being slapdash but you're so precise in your videos it's really inspired me to use calipers and set squares and embrace the grime and dirty look!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

I'm so glad! That's wonderful to hear! Thank you!

[@kevinm3751]

Another place you can get some cool greebles are lighters, like bic lighters. Take them apart and there are some small springs and other doodads that can be useful for small models.

[@samanthaadams619]

Wonderfully done! =D Love Trek as well as Wars, so this is always nice to see.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DarthFlan]

There’s enough room in my heart and Fandom for both “The Wars & Trek”!!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

There you go Mike!

[@edburdo]

That was an amazing use of the DLink adapter... I love it!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Glad you like it!

[@victorgonzales9138]

Great video!! I love Star Wars.... but I also love Star Trek!! I think they can coexist without any problem!!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Same here! Thanks for watching!

[@steveslenderman]

Like my favorite star fleet captain Will Robinson said “Use the force Harry!” You know how to get things done sir ! Great video.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

HA!!! Awesome! Thanks!

[@cinderpsycho1985]

Glorious simply glorious

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

LOL! Thank you!

[@maggiethegoblin8130]

Okay, this was pretty great, ya girl loves some Star Trek too so this build is also right up my alley.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Awesome!!!

[@DavidBrawley]

Fantastic work! Any Trekie would be proud to have such a communicator hanging on their belt! LL&P

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you!

[@quixoticjedi942]

If you have the time, most adhesives like that can be defeated with cooking or mineral oil. Saturate the sticker and wait, it usually will just pop off after a couple of days. I used to clean the labels off AOL floppy discs back in the day with this method.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

great tip! Thank you!

[@StockYardsTrustCo]

Excellent as always... love the channel! One note of chide, from a fan of both franchises... details are important; don't forget to leave your thumb out when you use the Vulcan "LLAP" gesture.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

LOL, gotcha!

[@skewedmaker]

That was great! Glad there were no tears in the space-time continuum from that joking about.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

me too!!!! LOL

[@Al-pz8xi]

That was ridiculously great. A nice change and always fun to watch.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! So glad you liked it!

[@klubfreak]

HOLY CRAP!!! I still have those D-Link adaptors somewhere in this house! Along with the old ass laptops they were used for. I need to dig those out! PS...Loved the Star Trek April Fool's!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Awesome!!!!

[@GothamCity48532]

You need another one of these videos. Perhaps a phaser or an extra first aid kit. I have spoken🖖

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

a phaser would be fun!

[@salvatoreattinello3942]

Absolutely hysterical! Loved it.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@VanOaksProps]

Great job, Bryan! ;-)

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks bud! Much appreciated!

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

3:21 - I lucked into a super-effective adhesive/label remover after needing to remove some medical adhesive from skin. It's called Uni-Solve (made by Smith&Nephew). Comes in wipes and liquid (not as convenient, but much more cost effective). It removes everything I've tried it on - even crusty, dried up decades-old price tags. Makes jobs like this so much quicker.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

wow! Great! Thanks for the heads up!

[@ryandobson1871]

Thanks! Finding y’all has been such a bright spot for me during the pandemic. What a great prank!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Although I enjoy all the videos, this one was FANTASTIC! Reminded me of my dad (who I just lost last year) who was a huge Star Trek fan. Thank you for the happy memory reminder!

so Sorry to hear that Michelle, hope this put a smile on your face. Thanks for watching!

Brilliant stuff!

[@kevinmaloney2391]

Brian great video the sci fi universe is big enough for all sci fi franchises. Just a trivia note when Star Trek Planet of Titans was in preproduction Ralph Mcquarrie was a concept artist and Harry Lange was also a set desinger. Lange as you probably know designed most of the interior of the Millenium Falcon. It would have been interesting to see how similar the sets would have been had Planet of Titans made

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That's an awesome bit of trivia! Thanks for the share!

[@brendan9833]

I absolutely love 'Swagger Stagger'. Great video!

I love how we just met Brian from the mirror universe. Bryan the Star Trek fan. Also Brian has the Smugglers Room what would Bryan's room be called?

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

😃. That Bryan with a “Y” is a strange cat! His room is probably the “Ready Room?”🤷‍♂️

This was so much fun! Glad to see that your counterpart beamed in to provide a rarely seen clean prop. I’ve always wanted a Star Trek Communicator and Tricorder. I guess I’ll just have to settle for my primitive iPhone 12 Pro. Now that this communicator is in the Smuggler’s Room, will it get a dose of weathering? Lol
