Goddammit.
Another huge cardboard build

I saw the Post article. I missed that they talked about us.
And it was mentioned in the panel quiz on today's episode of "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me," where the question was about one controversial element of the model garnering criticism from other fans.
There are seriously a thousand toilets in this design? I'm clearly not following this project closely enough. I guess I can see how it could happen. One toilet per person in each cabin would take up about half that, and the other half would be public-style restrooms in centralized areas, and if you're putting five or ten toilets in one room, it would add up.
The builder of this project seems very concerned that the crew shouldn't have to queue to use the toilets. In his most recent vid he's discussing the Bridge and wants at least 4 toilets in the service corridor around it.
At the ship size he plans to use (947 feet), the only real way to make the turbolift arrangement and room for toilets around the rim of the bridge, the bridge would need to be fully lowered into the second deck or B deck, which I guess could now be deck 1 or A deck and the domed area (old deck 1) above it housing sensor arrays, etc. Either that, or he needs a bigger ship. 
The orientation of the bridge has received as much extensive discussion over the years as the location of Main Engineering, the hangar deck and the size of the shuttlecraft.
If we accept the bridge is indeed facing directly forward then the only explanation that makes sense to me is that it’s partially lowered into the A/B superstructure so the turbolift can be offset without poking out of the domed hull. That would allow for an inspection corridor around the perimeter of the bridge as well as a gangway to the next level. There is no need to cram multiple toilet facilities around the bridge.
Franz Joseph kept the bridge at the very top of the saucer because he offset its orientation and changed the shape of the outer dome. It works, but it’s not consistent with what we see onscreen.
Mr. Trek is veering farther afield with his speculations than I think most of us would do. In example I offer his take on the shuttlecraft facilities which will take up a substantial portion of Deck 19 (or whichever it is). This is counter to what Matt Jefferies strongly infers to be the layout he had in mind. He certainly intended the turntable to also be an elevator to lower the shuttlecraft below for storage and service.

Based on Mike's bridge sketch at the end of the video, it looks like either he has a bigger ship (note the size and location of the main turbolift shaft in the sketch), or a bigger domed structure sitting on top of the saucer. Things are starting to distort and break...just as we have discussed here over the last 20 years.
Yep.
Seems to me the only way it works is if the lifts occupy some sort of magical funhouse space where they can move through bulkheads.

Not sure why the turbolift cant just go down the front of the dorsal from deck 7. There are no windows on either the front of the dorsal or on the front edge. Nothing says the turbolifts can only move vertically and horizontally. Shooting down the the front of the dorsal at the same angle solves all of the issues.
But that would require some kind of manipulation of gravity... Oh. Right.
Funnily enough, there are a LOT of comments on the vid suggesting a diagonal tube!
