Salut,

gosh please make the studio renovation into a series on this channel i just love seeing the process of a new space!
Don't worry, he will!
Seeing time lapses in the built-up face would be nice as well.
I’m gonna start doing this soon and I never done it. I need to see other ppl mistakes
With the amount of series he records in tandem I wouldn’t be surprised if he hasn’t already finished the video.
I loved the fact that your studio was both a wood shop and a kitchen at the same time and everything was hand-built and a bit rickety. Together with you being an electrical engineer it gave it the feel of a mad scientist, the guy who always builds his own machines first before he can make the perfect recipe. And the small size made it relatable. You were making do with what you had, you were making the perfect dish by combining cheap things that everybody has access to. Now you are going to have a semi-professional kitchen. I guess this happens to many RUclips channels when they are successful: Now they have sponsors and enough money, they can go full-time, and they are taking it to the next level, but what falls behind is the ability to relate. I hope that much of your DIY-concept remains and you are still going to build your own croissant-rolling-machine instead of just getting one from a sponsor. I love your content and I am looking forward to more!
amen!
Well said. I am concerned, but we'll see where this goes.
Agreed. I think Alex is wise enough to understand all of this though. He will upgrade the experience for himself as well as the viewer, while maintaining his essence.
I want the blue fridge back.
You'll get there, Alex! And when you do, you'll find the journey has been more than worth it. Good luck!
He's already there. He's just not uploaded his videos. He's been a lazy A -lex- ss
/s
@@magno5157 that's not even funny and worth reporting for bullying
@@BurkenProductions bullying? xD I bullied Alex? 😂
@@magno5157 I think he is already way further down the road. But he hasn't finished yet...
I got to say I liked your "sub-optimal" kitchen/workshop. As a fellow engineer, your approach to a problem/challenge really resonate with me. I love how you break down a task to its bare minimum, which for me is perfectly visualized by the lone gas-burner on a home made kitchen island. You are really good at showing the viewers that all major tasks can be completed by a series of minor tasks. Some may require practice, time or both, but being relatable and giving viewers the confidence of thinking "I could do this" is a great quality in you and your channel. I am looking forward to what's next and hope we get to see a lot of diy-solutions in this new kitchen as well.
@GeirKirkeby "You are really good at showing the viewers that all major tasks can be completed by a series of minor tasks. Some may require practice, time or both, but being relatable and giving viewers the confidence of thinking "I could do this""
That is exactly what he is going to show us with this series!
Awesome! Just please don't go too crazy on the appliances. Big part of the appeal of your channel to me is the "hey I could make/cook that too tomorrow" feeling. Don't jeopardize that by bringing in equipment none of us have. I really liked the one simple stove you used all the time. Have fun creating your new space!
The way you described what you wanted out of your new studio...surprising actually makes sense. Gonna miss that pillar x3 (TBH, a portrait of it in a frame would be both hilarious and heartwarming reminder of where you came from).
Hung from the ceiling in the middle of a room.
Or a scaled model of it on a shelf.
Haha, great ideas :D I'll miss the pillar too!
Put it on a hanging banner so it can be walked through
Cant wait to see how you make this space yours 😁
What made me fall in love with your channel was when you were building 'Le Studio'. A maker in the food space was so refreshing. The engineer doing cookery (with the workshop and kitchen being one and the same) is the heart & soul of this channel. I'm glad to see some of that isn't lost with the floor-plans you teased in this video. I'm so excited to follow you on your journey with this new space.
I've watched you refine a single recipe over the course of five videos. I'd very happily watch you refine that awesome studio space over ten videos, or even more. Please keep us posted! Watching experts build their spaces is always fascinating.
4:28 Pauline and Ingrid seem amazing! Again the Best of luck and hope you all do a fantastic job! It will all be worth it Alex!
Wow! I remember when you moved in to your last studio. You've come a long way my brother. Congratulations 🎉❤ Blessings 🌠
I've been checking RUclips every Saturday at 7pm for months for a new video from you. FINALLY IT'S HERE! Welcome back, Alex!
I see the Studio renovation as the natural extension of videos where you make your own pasta dryer, wok burner, secret cupboard etc. It's part of what I really enjoy about the channel, you're a maker. It's just that sometimes it's Food, and other times it's something else.
Looking forward to seeing the studio take shape!
20 plus stages sounds like a 20 part video series i would love to watch ❤
The whole thrill behind your channel is creativity and perseverance through problems. This, though tough, is going to be an amazing process so see, especiall when you have that last day with the final product and you can actually just sit and look at the fruits of your labor.
Interior designer here: Every client hits that moment at demolition where it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. To us, it’s one of the most exciting phases because it’s the first tangible step towards completion. Stay positive, because as soon as framing, electrical, plumbing, and drywall are done, you are going to be so excited again. That’s when it’s going to feel like all that needs to be done is to fill in the spaces. It’s like having a blank canvas, whereas before, you didn’t even have an easel on which to paint. Congrats on breaking ground and I can’t wait to see how the studio looks!
I love that you have separate rooms, so you can have a kitchen area and a workshop area separate for building, and organise both these spaces efficiently because you're not having to cater to a room being both a kitchen AND a workshop.
I can't wait to see how this series progresses :D What a great start to a new season!
I absolutely love the idea of you doing a full series on the creation of your new studio. So many channels when they upgrade studios just skip over it so quickly. Going in to depth is amazing.
Sometimes popular channels just do something a bit out of their normal scope and it is truly captivating. Example is JerryRigEverything's Electric Hummer conversion.
Excited to see how this comes along and will be following closely. Keep it up Alex!
I love what’s coming, why? Because it’s Alex and a new challenge? The next reach towards perfection where he can make all things food perfect.
Speaking as someone who has gone through this demolition phase with no experience and little budget, you will make this work. It is going to be beautiful. If I could do it, you certainly can!
I follow many cooking channels, and your channel was always one of my favorites.
But when you stop releaseing your new videos I understand that it was my FAVORITE channel.
Hope you get new studio up and running as quick as possible and we got more videos of you cooking.
Congrats on new studio
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will your studio be built in a day. The good thing about that is how often the journey becomes an experience beyond the scope of the final result.
This reminds me of my current situation in moving into a house with a massive shop that still... after 2 years of living here... needs to be finished.
I am using that shop on a regular basis to do a lot of things, but it's still not finished, and in a way I'm glad for that. I'm expanding as I go while knowing I've still got room. I get the feeling your studio may turn out similar, and knowing it down the the walls that you build yourself will probably come into play in a positive way when you hit another point where growth is necessary.
Now I realize I'm just kinda rambling, but you get the point. The journey is always an important step, so it's awesome to see another basket taking the steps and bringing us along for the ups and downs.
Alex, we love the DIY parts of your channel too, and we get a good season of this. We're gonna love the concealed chaos, because that's you, bud!
You may not read this ever, Alex, but you inspire me and so many others with your creativity and passion. You are uncertain of success because you care so deeply. We are behind you all the way, finish phase 1 and then onto phase 2!
Thank you Alex for returning with quality milk after 2 months
Welcome back! Excited to follow the journey in the new studio!
The part about the mental challenges and *not* making your office too pleasant is soo recognizable. I love cooking, but I'm an engineer during the day and I need the change of scenery, a clean space, a minimal space, headphones on and most important, away from my bed. Sometimes I crave more nice stuff/chaos or whatever, but that is not the important part. Getting stuff done is. Great video about your progress, but some even bigger lessons can be learned.
All in all, an amazing video
Hi Alex, for your concealed chaos have a look at LCD private glass, would make a nice solution to go from minimalist design to “every tool accessible” (at least visually) with a simple switch, if you use it for all the cabinets doors 😉
The hardest part of any project in life is the beginning. You have the whole expanse of the project ahead of you. You want to advance to your next stage in life and profession and getting through this project is the essential path to reaching this new stage. It will build you as a person as well as your space. You have worked intensely to reach this point, throughout your time in your previous studio and now with your team of architects. You must gather up your strength and courage and think positive. This will give you your energy and vitality to keep moving forward. You will understand and achieve more as you go through this work in progress. Nothing replaces life experience. Go for it with your greatest joie de vivre!
No doubt this will be the most beautiful kitchen and workplace ever seen on a cooking show
watching you for years , really proud to see you actually getting all the tools you deserve , i feel this will propegate you even further , you were a master before , you're about to become legendary
let's go Alex!
I love the round arches in this new studio, they are beautiful and already give character to this place :) (haha, I've typed this comment while watching, just before you started talking about the arches!) But I also loved the striped pillar in the old studio, it was like a signature ;)
And I must stay that your old DIY portable kitchen and sort of mess always inspired me more, as a home cook, than pretty kitchens of some chefs. It's like the mentality that you can work with what you got, there are no excuses. I hope this feeling won't go away (and what you said about kitchen isle hints to me that you keep that in mind!)
Anyway, I hope you'll do fine with the renovation and I'm glad you're growing :) All the best, Alex!
(please, plan some secret compartments - for a golden chef knife or something like that ;))
I'd be more than happy to watch videos about studio renovations ☺☺
My father owns his own small construction business. Because you are the customer, you set the pace. My dad has remodeled whole American homes in the span of a couple months. You're in control. I can see you knocking it out in just a few short months. Here's to hoping you don't run into any problems. Good luck Alex.
I'll check back in a few months when you have some videos up about cooking. Thanks for sharing your HERO'S JOURNEY with all of us!
Je crois que tu l'as si bien dit dans la vidéo, tu aimes les challenges et tu vas le relever avec brio et passion. Je me réjouis de voir le résultat qui sera sûrement exceptionnel et à ton image 😃
Love the next phase in your life to be able to scale up and get the efficiency of semi pro kitchens! Still, never forget it's not about the tools but about the knowledge, the experience and skill.
honestly, destruction phase and the clean up after that are for me some of the most fun things to do, the first few layers building up, take me the longest every time.
While I'm sad you will now have a pro set up because your whacky setup what made me believe I could cook pro-level stuff at home, I'm still glad you are doing what makes you happy Alex !
Cheers
9.28 . . . "some hot tea" . . . Alex, you have become - a Brit ! Welcome, and thank you for joining us. You are a valuable addition to our family, we love you already. Bonjour !
Even just with the demo it looks so beautiful with the exposed rafters, the brick work and of course the arch.
the improvisation and down to earth equipment made your videos so relatable.
The first thing that caught my eye was the ARC... it can't go wrong when you start the day by entering thru an arc. 🤩 Good luck with your new space Alex! 🤘🏻
Alex, you did not go too far, there is no place holier than a kitchen where meals are prepared for others!
I'm really looking forward with this build out/remodel. Congratulations on taking this step in your journey.
Most importantly, thank you for taking your fans on this journey with you. We all appreciate it.
I've been missing your content. Glad you’re back. Looking forward to watching you build out the new studio/kitchen. Hope you show all the renovation. And am especially looking forward to all the new and interesting dishes you’re going to be creating!
Don't be disheartened Alex, with any project it often takes longer to clear the space than to create the new. (life long DIYer). The demolition clears the thoughts with the rubble and helps visualise the new space, even with impromptu improvements. It is part of the refining process. Note the elaborate planning is not the end, but the beginning, in making it YOUR space.
Like Martin from Wintergatan always says, Pain is temporary, Glory is forever. This looks good
Your old studio reminded me of Tom Sachs and the Neistat brothers; it showed a process and workflow that I employ in my own workspace. The new studio is going to be amazing, looking forward to seeing how it evolves!
I don’t wanna be negative or anything but I really liked the coziness of your old smaller place! And all of your inventiveness when making your own machines in small quarters. More relatable to most people. We don’t want bigger or more grandiose.
This is looking great. Please make this journey into a series. We're dying to see everything !!
We've missed you Alex! Can't wait to see what's next :)
Talk about a cliffhanger. I didn’t realize how immersed I was until that last line. Incredible production value here. Not to mention THE NEW STUDIO!! Excited for what’s to come. Nice job!!!
So excited to see the new office!! I can only imagine how much of a challenge it is to leave your old place and build a new one. So much strength, Alex, you are a true inspiration for me
Le nouveau studio va être incroyable ! Et je suis tout à fait d'accord avec l'arche, ça rajoute quelque chose en plus
Bentornato!
I love the boldness of a bespoke studio! Please consider at some point sharing some costs involved for the accounting nerds.
I just realised how much bigger and open you made that old studio appear to be in the videos. Well done
When you were listing makers I was half-hoping we'd hear you say "This Old Tony", and say you were installing a metal-topped welding table and a lathe, with spotlights on each.
maybe for the doors on the cabinets you could do pocket doors so you have your clean look for thinking time but when its time to create you're not having to constantly open cupboards or try and remember which one the item you're looking for is in
"The Ideeee".... I've been watching since the day you were in your super tiny kitchen making beef with peppercorn sauce with a chinese twist, and look at you now! Excited about the great content you'll create in this new space Alex!
When designing spaces I find using a 3d environment, like a virtual world, I build things and spaces to plan out what I need/want. If you cut objects, squares/rectangles, from colored index cards you can lay them out on the floor plan and move things around to get a better visual in your mind of the space you are trying to create. At least that works well for me.
I'm excited for 20 phases; bring them all. We want to follow your journey! Yeah, Alex.
I love going on these journeys with you Alex. We are currently buying our first house, so I feel everything you're feeling.
Can't wait to see your vision for the new space. Thank you for sharing.
Can’t wait for the progress videos Alex!! I’ve been waiting patiently. Looks like you have got yourself an awesome space to work from😊
Congrats!! I love your philosophy of a kitchen studio combined with an office. Thank you for walking us through your thought process! It was truly inspiring for my design studio. Appreciate you!
@Alex consider slidding doors instead of hinged doors for your kitchen's concealed chaos. The pros are that they don't take up floor space, so you can manoeuvre around with shelf/cupboards open. The cons are that you can't have all the whole array of shelves and cupboards open at the same time, and there is a difference in ease of use for some people, also, they might need to be slightly more recessed than hinged doors.
One step at a time. You can do this.
Fantastic progress Alex! So excited for the new space ❤
The perfect video to come back to. This is going to be a fun adventure. Instead of doors though why not make pushout shelves? Entire tall shelves that go into a wall that you push and slide out and all your equipment will be available to you.
Alex, I wish you all the best and I'm sure all that hard work you're putting to create the new studio, all the obstacles you come across along the journey will pay off at the end. You're such an inspiration! Good luck and thanks for sharing the renovation process with us!
Alex, I can see the vision you’re going for. This space will be incredible!
Well well well....looks like I came crawling back.
Le poteau va manquer effectivement ! Une ptite photo encadrée pour le souvenir ça serait bien rigolo ! hâte de voir la suite de tes aventures ! et RIP petit carrelage des années 70's.
I think the translucency they pitched in their presentations are you can see from some of the renders makes more sense for the “organized chaos look”. Imagine a canvas or colorful items creating ever-changing designs behind these beautiful doors. Like the transparency in windows aero or ios7 when it first launched. 4:48
This is it - make all your cupboards this finish - and itl be beautifully neutral yet alive.
I've always thought of either doors that slid away, back into the shelving on their pivot, or slatted-roll slide doors/panels... though both take up storage space (and more so the more segmented), just to avoid having doors hanging open and more so being able to visually switch.
Though, usually imagining library/office/bedroom, and maybe sometimes work space; but for most Maker spaces that lost space is probably greatly wanted besides just more commonly connected with the chaos.
I was already thinking that if you want something to be clean and accesible, you should use drawers that are label with all your tools inside. These "drawers" could be vertically orientated against the wall or inside a closet with like a wood frame in the middle, so you could hang tools from either side (an H profile in your drawer vertical basically). Whatever your preference is ofcourse.
Yes to a series on the progress! Miss your podcast too......maybe we can have some episodes of that too!!!
Follow your checklist. One thing at a time. Focus! You can do this Alex.
Can't wait to see how you will make this space Alex! Yoir style is awesome!😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love your pronunciation the word "plumbing"!😊
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
You are a good communicator.... both with your struggles and wins. It's a big step.... I'm sure it's a big investment also, but it will also open up all kinds on new possibilities. Good on you! I have no doubt that you will nail it.
Heya Alex!!! I didn't realise how much I've missed you until this video. I can't wait to see more of your new studio and more cooking, of course 👍😎👍
Bon courage Alex. One step at a time, you’ll get there and beyond expectations even!
Was about to sleep BUT YOU POSTEEEDDD FINALLLYYYY🎉🎉🎉
I did the same thing /Lmao
Stay strong brother. Do it the way you want no matter how long it takes. The results will be worth it.
Loved as you spoke about arches and then went to your ARCHitect, lul. I also have an arc in my kitchen.
When I had renovated my house I was at the same situation as you. Demolition Day always looks like a catastrophe in the first place. But you will see it's like starting on a blank sheet of paper.
Can't wait to see the next videos
You’re my inspiration because you walked in two worlds (regular career and culinary arts). I’m a cooking guy. Keep up the great work.
Alex, it would be incredible when you go through this new studio build you showcase/focus on environmentally friendly and efficient appliances and tools.
Well done amigo Alex, congratulations. I'm pleased to see how people who persevere and make an effort for years go a long way.
Go Alex Go! And dont be shy, let us follow you on this epic journey! You always have to start from scratch when you're going to make miracles. I already love the place.
You'll get there, Alex! You always do! And when you cross the finish line you'll find that it was all worth it! Good luck!
Glad to see you back. We missed you on this platform.
So.when are we getting the studio makeover video
Amazing process Alex! And dont worry! You'll get there like you always do! Cant wait to see the final product! Im sure it will be as epic as you! Sending you my prayers that this goes smoothly! God bless you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can't wait! Good Luck!
So glad to see you back Alex! I/we missed you!! Cant wait for the results and the future content!!
Excited to see the new studio come together! Excited the follow along as you explore and construct this new world!
🤘😎👍
good luck! can't wait for the next update!
