The Most PATRIOTIC Video Editing Setup I've Ever Seen! by Jeremy Siers

To the next setup. So if you’re outgrown something slowly and not even really realize it, it’s exactly what happened in this room. It worked really well for me for a long time. Get more stuff, things start creeping in more. So this setup is from a YoYouTuber called Jeremy Sears.

He has an awesome channel which is kind of focused on. This is a term which he uses to self describe himself. He focuses on man stuff, you know, so he focuses on sort of hobbies and interests that a lot of men have. Things like, things like what’s on the wall behind him there. I think he refers to them as pew pews.

He also has a bunch of videos about like whiskey, a bunch on cigars, a bunch on sort of like interior. We say interior design, but sort of like reconstructing spaces to have a nice feel, I guess for this archetype of man who likes, you know, these, these hobbies, these, these very sort of male focused hobbies, male dominated hobbies. So this is his like studio. I mean the title of the video is I finally dialed in my gun room and studio. So this is his studio and gun storage space.

I actually think he has a YoYouTube channel which is all about guns. So that’s kind of. Kind of. It kind of makes sense that there’s a combination of the two. This isn’t really a look into his gun collection.

It is fascinating. If you’re into that, go and check out his channel. Go and check out his video. There’s some great content there about that kind of stuff. But we’re going to sort of focus more on the, the studio side of his gun and studio room.

More equipment, more projects. Not bad, necessarily. Just maxed out. No extra space like you’re trying to put ten pounds of. Into a five pound bag.

And if you’re building anything, whether it’s a collection, a business craft, eventually you’re going to hit that point. As stuff accumulates, you can either get a bigger spot, which is kind of expensive and I really didn’t want to do that anyway. You can reorganize for the 15th time and keep putting lipstick on a pig, or you can fix the damn problem. This room has adapted and morphed as we’ve kind of grown and things have happened and the different things we’ve used this room for. Before I even had a YoYouTube channel, this was our family’s theater room.

And then it kind of morphed into partially my office and still half theater room. These days it is my gun room and studio. And I have been working on dialing this damn thing in for probably a year, year and a half now. Getting it optimized not only for a place for all my guns and my collections, but also an efficient office, studio and workplace for me and my business. Finally, I think I have it just where I want it.

Personally, I think this is the best version, this room. Of all the versions this room has been.

You are over.

The upstairs of my house. Not like a typical upstairs with a whole bunch of rooms. There’s really only two rooms up here in a bathroom. I’ve basically just taken over the upstairs as my studio and office space. You guys have already seen the room that’s across the hall from this.

I’ll link to the video. Up above that is our whiskey and cigar room. I film a lot of content in there. We did the remodel. Man, having a cigar room in your home, as awesome as that sounds, I would love to have a cigar room, a whiskey and cigar.

I don’t drink, but I’d love to have a cigar room in my house. But man, the smell. We have a few cigar lounges in my, in my, in my city. And I love going there. But man, like, cigar smell is, is strong, it’s pungent.

I, I enjoy going to cigar lounges because you can go there, relax. It’s just. They’re great. Like I think the concept is third spaces. They’re great third spaces.

You can go take a friend there, hang out, have a cigar. Even if they’re not that into cigars, you know, necessarily have to smoke. But yeah, you can, you know, maybe even just have a glass of wine, have a glass of whiskey, sit back, chat in very comfortable chairs or optimized for comfort. But man, does the smell like. You will smell like if you, if you go for a cigar, say in early afternoon, you go around 1:30, you’re still going to smell heavily of cigars at 10:30 at night.

It’s inevitable. So man, having that in your house, man, unless you, you must have a serious extraction system in order to just constantly remove those odors. Otherwise it will reek. You’ll smell it at the end of even the longest corridor, you might have a mansion. You’ll still smell it seven rooms down it.

It’s really pungent. And I’m sure, you know, if you enjoy cigars, it’s fine. But I just, I wouldn’t. I enjoy cigars and I don’t want to smell cigar smoke, you know, when I’m having my breakfast on a random Thursday, Thursday morning. So, man, that says he’s A brave man is what I’m trying to say.

This is, this is a brave build that he’s done here. A cigar and whiskey room in your own house back a year or so ago, I think might have been longer than that. At this point on time flies. When you get, when you walk into this room, that is the wall you see first. That is kind of the wall that anchors everything.

And as you can see, there is a big old American flag right in the center of it. Because America unfortunately these days something I see occasionally and it’s sad, I hate to see it. Some people are not proud of Old Glory, but not around here. We are flag flying and proud of our country in the Sires household and guaranteed on either side. Flanking that I have a couple sections of the hold up.

That’s a strange concept that like the flag like if I, if you’re American, if you don’t like seeing American flags. So flying isn’t that, isn’t it just hard to just, you know, live your day to day life? America seems, it’s a very patriotic country and you see American flags everywhere. When I, when I went to New York years ago was like when I was like 18 years old. I remember one of the fascinating things, I was going to subway and there’s, there was an American flag on each carriage of the train.

It was American flag print on each one I kind of saw. That’s interesting. That’s, that’s kind of cool. I’m from London myself and in London, you know, we have a subway system, a very extensive one. But yeah, you don’t see a British flag on, on, on every, every train car.

This is not how it works. You just don’t see it. You don’t really. You don’t actually see the British flag in Britain that often. At least you didn’t back to when I, when I lived in Britain.

Yeah. So it’s kind of fascinating to me. Like I thought that that was like a central, I thought that was like a central philosophy of America. You know, it’s like we’re proud of being American. We’re patriotic.

You know, they sing the national anthem way more often than we sing the British national anthem. You know, it seems to be more pride in the country. So it seems strange. Maybe it’s sort of like a reaction to that. People are like, I’m tired of all this patriotism.

I don’t like what it stands for. And then they just don’t want to see the flag anymore. But man, if you lived in America, I would, I feel like it’s like. It’s like billboards, you know, you sort of become a little bit blind to them after a while. I wouldn’t even notice it.

But I don’t know, maybe there’s something more political there that I don’t quite understand. That’s very highly likely. Display gun wall panels. And I did a video on that before when we did the main wall over here, which I’ll talk about in a minute. But hold up.

Display. Those are great guys. I’ve worked with them a couple times. Fantastic people. Everything is made right here in the usa.

They are aluminum slat walls. They will hold a truck. Super customizable. They have a ton of different types of hangers and racks and shelves and different kind of things you can hang from. Really very customizable for no matter what you’re doing.

Is that a. An entire slat wall company slat wall system that’s built entirely for gun holding? If so, that is awesome. It’s like, how cool is that? It’s like, hey, what do you do?

What’s it. What’s your. What’s your business? Do we just make amazing wall display systems specifically for holding up your guns? I’m pretty sure, you know, you can store other things and they’re probably made more for like tool storage and they’re just adaptable for weapons or maybe even, you know, I guess art or wherever you need to display on your walls.

But man, I just think that’s so cool that there’s like a dedicated company that just makes one thing and just makes them really, really well according to Jeremy Sears here. And man, that wall does look amazing if that’s all metal. Oh man, that must cost. Must cost a fair penny. Do really well made heavy duty.

Made in America. I mean, how do you. How can you beat that? We have the full wall over here. Over there we just did two smaller sections.

Didn’t want to overload the wall. But I did need a little extra room because especially now that we’re doing the gun channel, the collection is going to grow even faster. And I needed room to expand a. It looks really cool and it gives me a little extra room for growth underneath on both sides. I have husky workbenches with drawer units from Home Depot.

Fantastic for. For storage. Different size drawers for different types things. The drawers are really heavy duty and they’re meant to hold heavy stuff. So whether you’re putting gun parts, camera gear, ammo, whatever, those drawers can handle it.

The tops of them came in like a pine, but it didn’t feel right. Without all the other dark woods in the room. So I sanded those down, got the lacquer off of them, and then I burned them with a torch and then put some dark walnut Danish oil on them. And that actually darkened them up really nice. Kind of help them look a little less like.

I mean, they look like a tool chest. There’s freaking drawers all over the place. But a little less like a tool chest and more like it was meant for this room. One on this side is a husky heavy duty. This on this side is a husky standard duty.

Husky heavy duties are all blacked out. Normally the husky standard duties come with chrome handles on them, but they didn’t have a heavy duty drawer unit that was the size I needed for over here. Luckily you can actually slide the handles right out. So I just spray painted them black to match that one. And now they both look like husky heavy duties.

Although the standard duty one does hold a little bit less weight than the heavy duties. Honestly, I think it’s still a couple hundred pounds per drawer or something like that, which that’s more than enough for what I need if you want to save a little bit because the standard duty stuff is a lot cheaper. You maybe don’t like the chrome accents. Just spray paint that in the middle right behind where I’m at. I do have a motor.

Man, I’ve seen a lot of different, like setup videos, set up Reddit posts, set up pictures, and man, nothing beats a good husky workbench. You know, they’re very useful. They store a lot. I think they look good, you know, obviously not for everyone. You know, having this big metal sort of work tool chest in a space that isn’t a garage can is a bit strange to some people.

But yeah, in my opinion, nothing beats a work. But a good husky workbench. Also. I love that a lot of them, you can, they have like attachments. So I actually found out that this company, csps, they make this pegboard attachment.

So I actually have a pegboard attached to the top of mine, which is very handy. I’ve been 3D printing different mounts for things which I just use regularly, which is very convenient for not having to actually go into the tool chest just to get like a single tool. I actually have a lot of 3D printing tools hung from mine. So, you know, I have like a bed scraper, have like a wire cutter just for like, it’s called a wire cup. I use it for like trimming off, you know, the edges on a 3D print or supports.

I also have a deburring tool on there again for you know, sort of cleaning up the edges of your 3D prints. So it’s just things which you know, if I, if I 3D print, the 3D printer is situated right next to the workbench ironically. So if I 3D print something I just want to sort of just make a couple of tweaks to it and you know, of course of like two minutes. So having everything sort of hanging from a ped board mounted right there on top of the toolbox is extremely convenient. And I think it, it can look pretty cool.

It can. In the middle, right behind where I’m at, I do have a motorized standing desk for my workstation for where I do all my editing and everything. If you’re editing and you’re sitting for eight to 10 hours, it just ain’t great on your back, man. So the standing desk is great because it’ll, that’s a beautiful desk. I love the, the, the wood on top there.

I’m pretty sure you know, just because he mentioned he’s, he’s sort of sanded down so many surfaces and just you know, applied some I guess varnish or oils to them in order to give them like really nice finishes. Pretty sure he’s modified the top on, on his one. But man, I love this wooden top also that screen is, that’s like a 49 inch. I think that’s a Samsung, an ultra wide. These are fantastic for video editing.

I used to have a friend who actually had one of these. He’s a programmer and he likes sort of tile, his sort of like terminal and IDE windows across the screen and you’d have like four, sometimes five different windows sort of spread out. It’s kind of like having triple monitors sort of laid out but it’s all on one screen. Which I guess works well for Apple too, right? Because Apple it’s not the best for multi screen sort of setups.

Also he has some lovely speakers here. I think these are the, are they called the Audio Engine? I think they’re called Audio Engine. Not quite sure. They’re small but they’re supposed to sound quite good.

I’m not sure, I’ve not never actually heard them in first person. And he had this Grove made microphone stand here which. These are lovely, very expensive but man, they seem so well designed. They really seem to sort of, you know, make these sort of craft desk items. Yeah, I’m a big fan.

And it looks like that like a cow digit dock there, possibly an iPad or possibly just a portable monitor set up As a second monitor here. And this actually looks like a four. A four legged forward leg standing desk which is very good for reducing wobble on your desk. I have two standing desks in this office and both of them wobble a little bit and both of them only have two legs. So I’m sure adding those extra another two legs on each corner just increases the stability.

It probably just makes it feel like a more premium desk as well. Me to kind of sit for a while, my back starts hurting. Stand up for a while. I also have a walking pad. Not something you’re going to run and do cardio on.

But again if you’re sitting and doing a lot of desk work and stuff, it’s a way just to keep you mobile and moving around throughout the day, which is good. And then as you can tell I do have a massive monitor over there. It’s a big ultra wide monitor which for a lot of people would be useless. But if you are editing or into that kind of thing, ultra wide monitors are great because allows you to stretch your timeline out and really do multiple things. I’ve worked on multiple monitors, I’ve worked on small monitors.

If you do what I do or anything similar to that, ultra wides are fantastic. Everything here was function first. It had to actually improve my workflow and how things go or it didn’t make it. When you’re dealing with limited space and trying to make it work, there’s very, very little room for dead weight. Now flip it around to the opposite side of the room.

The main wall. The wall that you normally see in the backdrop of a lot of the videos we do in here. And then this is where the holdup display wall really comes into play. Cuz it is a full wall, 17ft of. I love the look of this wall.

But we’re focusing on the the studio side. So let me skip ahead a little bit. Now below that in the middle I have some husky work cabinets. But that’s a whole other video. Again, I’ll link it up above.

I did a video on that. It is work cabinets but I actually built in. I’ve gutted the middle and then built a custom top for it with kind of a slot in the middle. And. And I have a flat screen TV down in there that is on a motorized mount.

So if I want to use the TV I can click it. It comes up out at the bottom of the stand. But when I don’t want to use it, it closes down and gives me a flat work station kind of flat workspace. So that’s more work area. I didn’t want to mount a TV on the wall.

It would have eaten up a bunch of the space. And I need as much space on the wall for the guns and stuff as possible. But I did want to have a TV in here and that was the best way to do it. But again, there’s a whole video on that and before somebody says it because I know it’ll come up. Jeremy, is this room secured?

This is an awful lot of guns to just a one. That’s so cool. The rising TV coming out of the husky workbench. Man, that’s an awesome project. Like I’ve seen that people seem to have these, you know, sometimes when you see like these house tours, people have a bedroom and a lot of times they’ll have like a sort of like a chest at the bottom of their bed which.

And they’ll have a TV rising up from that as a chest. It might just be like a dressing table almost and have a TV that rises up so you can watch TV in bed. And you don’t have to have a TV in the room at all times. It can sort of just lower down, you know, when, when you go to sleep. And I guess you could just sort of borrow the hardware.

I guess that’s just used for those. Maybe for the more custom builds of those TV risers. Borrow hardware and to sort of hack it into a husky workbench. That’s a really cool idea. I like that.

That’s very cool. Continuing around the room, you got to have like a chill spot, right? Like kind of a little corner to chill in, relax. Got a Chesterfield couch which is nice if I need to kind of. These Chesterfield couches.

I actually have a. Like my family has one of these back in the. In the UK and if it’s still around, I need to, I need to double check if someone just has it in their house. I need to, I want to, I want to try and get hold of it and try and import it to here to me in Asia. Just because, you know, it has a lot of personal history to it.

That sofa. If not, I may try and find myself a Chesterfield sofa. I love these. The look that’s very classical. This sort of like a button, like punch down button.

It’s sort of like a timeless look. A lot of times they’re often very comfortable too. They don’t look it. They look a little, maybe a little bit rigid, a bit hard sitting. But man, these sort of padded sides just make like no matter where you sit, you kind of just Feel like enclosed, like encased in a nice chair.

I love chesterfield field sofas. Kick back and relax for a little while. Got some display cases on the wall that’s got my man cards. We did, which were. If you didn’t see those, we did three versions of them.

They were limited runs of our version of kind of a challenge coin, but in a different format. Seeing those up there is just a way to kind of remind me of building something from scratch, which is pretty cool. And above that I have a display case with challenge coins which are both from friends like my buddy Pete, who’s done a bunch of them. Other people like you guys, the sheriff’s departments and stuff that have sent me some, which is really cool. I love displaying those.

Super honored for people that send them to me. And it’s a good way to display them instead of just being somewhere in a drawer then across there. I do have a space for my. It was a long time ago. Where was my 100,000 subscriber award plaque, whatever you want to call it from YoYouTube.

It’s been a while. We’ve been striving toward that million for a while now and man, it’s a long trudge from a thousand, 100,000 to a million. But I still keep that up to remind me to keep up the hustle and also as kind of a thank you to you guys. Cuz well, you guys are part of the community. You help get me to that particular milestone.

So keep me motivated, keep me moving. In the last part of the room, everything lands back at the center of the room which is this table that I built myself. I found some rough cut, true two inches, walnut planks. And I built this tabletop. Not veneered, not laminated.

This is, is heavy, solid walnut planks. The table is 36 by 72, which gives me plenty of room if I’m having conference calls or meetings or I need to film on this table. A lot of my main camera angles you see are on this table. If I need to set up stuff for B roll. When I do a lot of my gun builds and I’m working on stuff, this is my.

Plenty of room to stretch out and do that. It’s just my multi purpose workstation big enough for all that stuff. Man, I, I feel like, you know, I’ve been living in apartments for many years now, last decade plus, different apartments, different parts of the world and you know, I kind of missed that. I kind of missed that. I say miss, you know, it’s not like I’ve ever lived in a Mansion, which has had huge swathes of space sitting there.

But yeah, one day, I guess what I’m saying is one day I’d love to have a space big enough just to have like a centralized table like that where essentially it’s just kind of. It’s like a standalone table. And it’s purely for, I’m not going to say work. It’s more just for like laying. Laying out larger projects.

A few weeks ago I purchased this like it’s a sketchbook. It’s like a large sketchbook and it just has these like A3 size sheets of drawing paper. I’m not really an artist. I don’t really want to use it for making watercolors or anything like that. I just wanted to have like large pages for brainstorming essentially.

But it’s kind of weird. Like even like my desk is quite large, my main everyday work desk is quite large. But just laying out these large pages, it kind of like it’s just a bit too large. I kind of just have to move to the dinner table when I want to actually use this book means I just don’t use it that often. So I’d love to have this, you know, large table where you can just, especially when you, you know, working on a project which just has many parts where you could just sort of lay everything out on this one large table.

I’d love to have a sort of like a work table. It’s just a large flat surface just like that one day that would be sweet. Also not so big that it dominates the room. Because when you’re building especially a studio and you have camera gear and light stands and all that, you have to have open floor space and room to move stuff around. And when I sanded it, I purposely didn’t get all of the rough cuts and stuff out.

I left a little bit of texture and character to it. A. I knew it was going to get scratched up doing gun builds and all kinds of stuff. And if you get a super, super shiny glossy finish, that stuff’s more obvious. And also I just don’t like that. I like the real natural wood look.

Some of the imperfections and all the bangs and scratches you get over time, just add more character. I did. I didn’t put any kind of lacquer, any kind of polyurethane, anything like that. I just finished the top of it with boiled linseed oil. The legs down below, they were just raw metal legs.

I found the same place that I found the raw walnut planks and then I hit them with A little bit of like a vinegar wash to kind of force a little bit of rust. Then I hit those with boiled linseed oil and hit them with a blowtorch to bake the boiled linseed oil on gives them the kind of slightly aged, more industrial look, which I really like. I stuck some casters on the bottom because, like I said, wheels are. Are great in a studio space. You can move stuff around.

And this is my main workspace. Filming, planning, builds, meetings, whatever you want to do. You got a mobile badass table to do it. All right, so the last part on lighting, if you would like to watch that, I recommend going and checking out the original video. This is a pretty sweet setup.

And yeah, the channel is called Jeremy Sears. He has some awesome. If you’re into like interior design, sort of optimized for men, especially a certain type of man who enjoys his whiskey, enjoys his cigars, enjoys his pew pews, as you see there on the walls. Yeah, go and check out his channel. You’ll enjoy it.

There’s some great stuff over there. And man, he produces, like, just beautiful videos. You know, all of the videos he makes, I’m always a super impressed with the quality, the shots, the angles he. He manages to get. Man, it makes fantastic videos.

But yeah, we’re gonna. We’re gonna call it there. This is gonna be the last setup for today, and we have a couple of.
