Star Wars Beer Fridge

[@thomasbunce4342]

About two months ago I got five 5-gallon paint can pour spouts from a friend. I instantly knew they were the thermal exhaust ports above my built-in fridge once I painted them white. Added some red LEDs to them and they glow red because they were translucent orange and the white paint isn't so thick to keep them opaque. So I've been looking at my plain fridge for a month thinking I needed to do something with it. Now I know exactly what it needs and where to put the Droid Data Terminal kit that I got from you that I'm putting together now. Thanks again for the inspiration!

[@williambrown1172]

Completely ridiculous, over-the-top... and I love it!!! Great job.

[@OtisMcNuttIII]

Saw the nod to the release years of the original Trilogy, 77, 80 and 83. Nice touch!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

😉

[@nickboylen6873]

There are other trilogies? 😉

[@Sacha_8976]

Nick Boylen prequels, can’t think of any others though

[@samanthaadams619]

Very well done! And even Hoth themed figures in the fridge!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you!

[@CGRTist]

I'm always fascinated by how well these builds turn out, in their final state. You do some fantastic work!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

So much appreciated my friend. So glad to hear you enjoyed it. Now, I think you need one for your theater! LOL

[@nickicowan2526]

I think you need more SW inspired decor in that workshop, GREAT JOB!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

I think so too!

[@WarrenThrush]

You nailed the brief on this! Really great result on the fridge and thank you for the detail instruction along the way. Time for a frothy Fat Bantha!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you very much! So glad you liked it!

[@anthoniusrex]

This is just...pretty. I've been following you for a few months now (and gone back and watched...almost everything), and honestly, you haven't missed at all. Ever. And this is just...this is Star Wars craft goals. If I'm able to to build the Star Wars themed room that I'm hoping for, this is so going to be included. Thanks for sharing this build (and for that matter ALL of your builds) with us other chubby geeks. Here's to continuing making something out of nothing!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks so much 😊We are so glad you have enjoyed the builds, and thank you for watching! Can[t wait for you to start your own room!!!!

[@FamineStudios]

Great video Brian! I used similar methods when I did my run of Fallout Nuka Cola mini fridges last year and the year before. One neat trick I found on the fridges that have the clear glass viewing window to see inside: give it several light coats of glow in the dark paint. It’ll remain mostly transparent, and when the lights get turned off, a spooky glow shines through like its radioactive! :D

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

thanks! that's a great suggestion, especially since we do have one like that in the basement that we'll have to sci-fi soon here! Thank you for watching, and for your support!

[@adamfunkhouser8054]

Translated from Aurebesh Top Left small type : COOLING SYSTEM Top Right small type: BEER ONLY Center Door Panel: BEER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM Clever use of the the Aurebesh! My wife and I have been binging your channel ever since we saw you get a shout out from Bob @ I Like To Make Stuff. You've definitely reawakened the Prop Master in me (I was a Stage Theatre technician and prop maker during high school and college). Thank you for sharing your work with us!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! You nailed it. So glad you are enjoying what we are doing. Thank you for coming over for a look!

[@grahamking4815]

Hi! I look forward eagerly to each new Smuggler's Room video. Your cheery approach has been brightening my weeks throughout lockdown, and the techniques are practical, accessible, and adaptable. I like that you also have shown when things don't go quite to plan, and give alternatives to using expensive items. Thanks for encouraging me!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We can’t tell how much we appreciate it!!!

[@Tigrillo]

That fridge looks awesome...Congratulation for another great piece of art

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

I like that, and thank you!

[@whosle]

Awesome! Madcow is the godfather of the custom lightsaber scene. I really like the suspenseful music/dubstep you mixed into this video. The production value of your youtube channel is always getting better!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

THANK YOU! We try to improve constantly, and always looking for great tunes. Right now it's all about being fun and upbeat, something you can bob around to in your chair or on your sofa! Thank you for watching.

[@Iskelderon]

Great work! Prior to the blackwash it usually helps to gently scuff up the surface with steel wool or those steel pot cleaners so the surface has subtle grooves to hook into (think "brushed" or chafed metal).

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Great suggestion! Definitely add that to our process!

[@fishingjedi315]

Love the finished product. Wonder if it could be done to a full sized fridge

[@mindthemaker2131]

This is absolutely brilliant! You’ve really outdone yourself with this build. Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got lined up.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!

[@properteaproperty]

I'll never understand the people who leave thumbs downs.. Outstanding work.. Thanks for the videos

[@cosettekonzelman9518]

I spotted the references on those numbers, like the years of the Star Wars Original Trilogy like: 1977 for A New Hope, 1980 for The Empire Strikes Back, and 1983 for Return of the Jedi.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Yes indeed!

[@JediGeronimo]

Wife and I just bought our first home (yay!) and we inherited a second fridge that is now the garage fridge. Between your and Robs versions, I know just what to do with my garage fridge! :)

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

YES!!! You need one!! Can’t wait to see what you do!

[@mstruvmgc07]

Great build. I'm glad you guys are still doing awesome videos. Always brings a smile to my face

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for always watching Joshua!

[@GarlandLym]

Your creativity and style reminds me of Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford made them both so iconic roles, impossible to reproduce exactly , but inspired to try nonetheless. Thx for another week of inspiration into geekdom.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

HA! I love that, a couple of my favorite characters of all time! Thank you for watching and for your support!

[@totow7375]

Now this i want in my house.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

You can get a small mini fridge for a small investment and custom it for your home! Otherwise, we may actually sell some every now and then on our website!

[@shawnbartlett8138]

Thank you so much for opening my mind to think more out of the box than I have been I was but you opened the box in me all the more thanks bro I love to make stuff out of junk redeeming it

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@andlukeable]

Amazing! I've been looking for something to turn into a droid interface and I think you may have just provided the answer. I guess I'll have to reluctantly keep a stock of cold beer in the shop then... it's a hard life.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

RIGHT!!! Good luck with that idea! Thank you for watching

[@NorMandalArms]

Wish I had the money for a glowforge. This fridge is awesome!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! Yeah, we saved for a good long while to pick up the glowforge. That said, i have seen several other laser cutters out there that are not too bad on cost.

[@NorMandalArms]

@@TheSmugglersRoom I'm going to be picking up a Cricut next week, I'll be on my way from there.

[@jorquesgalaxy]

In all honesty, a fridge is one of the first things I was going to 'Star Wars' when I get my own place, so this is going to come in GREAT handy!! 😆👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you very much for this vid

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That's a great plan!!! good luck with getting a house and injecting Star Wars into your decor! Thank you for watching!

[@FigmentsMade]

This came out so...ahem...cool. 😁 I love the way this looks! It's so much more than just a bit of a mod to the front. Now I'm wondering how long it's going to be before the entire workshop is Star Warsed!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

thank you! the intent is that the whole workshop is Star Warsed / Sfi-Fied... it's for sure coming along, bit by bit! Thank you for watching!

[@ThatGeekyMaker]
