    Thank you for all the comments letting me know where you're watching from. It really does help me understand how my videos are consumed. Also, a lot of you made me laugh pretty good on this fine Sunday morning. Have a great week everyone! Here are some more transformation videos to watch: czcams.com/play/PLhqK_8dnaIW3CFOrkJ7U4I-nIyhWA1fMV.html

    I laughed out loud, "It's rough on all sides, like your mom"!
    And I bowed to another David P. gem of wisdom when you said, "It always has to go through the door." I'm with you. That should be on a plaque in every woodshop in America.
    BTW: The desk looks awesome. The retro guitar amp touch is pure genius.

    I'm actually watching it at work to help motivate me to keep moving. I work at a desk but I basically maintain the storefront and as someone with ADHD, having someone in the background working hard on something helps motivate me to get stuff done too 😁👍

    In Australia your videos usually come out at night time, so I generally watch them in bed. I started making my own CZcams videos after watching your channel and I started using skill share. My videos aren’t woodworking though. Keep up the killer work mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻

    Awakened this morning with tons of plans of things to do in my shop , sat down with my coffee to wake up and watch a video of or 2 of yours and now the sun's gone and nothing's done ! lol I own 2 buildings about 18' x 45' in the tiny town Iowa town I now live . They are separated by both a garage door and a regular door , One side is my home and the other is my shop so my commute back and forth isn't bad and it makes a pretty good man cave 😁.... lol

  • @JimLambier
    @JimLambier Před 9 měsíci

    The "It always has to go through the door." reminded me of a couch that was delivered to my first apartment. I wasn't home when it was delivered, so I never knew that it could be disassembled. A few years later, when it was time to move, my friend and I spent hours trying to figure out how to get it out the front door. Eventually, we gave up on the door and instead took it out a second story window using ropes. About a decade later, it was time to take it to the dump. It was only at this time that I discovered the hidden latches that allowed the back to come off.

    Nice desk! I like the speaker baffles. I need to go find some grille cloth like you used. I can relate to “It always has to go thru the door”. I made a tall headboard for a king-sized bed, my shop is in my basement and it cleared the ceiling opening over the staircase by about 1/4”!
    I watch from Colorado. Usually watching late at night, so I use Bluetooth headset on my iPad so I do not wake my wife. And laughing into a pillow also helps! 🤣

    "It always has to go through the door." I just finished a commissioned piece that I actually built both a scale model of the piece and my door. I concluded the finished piece would NOT fit through the basement door and I was searching for an off-site place to glue/finish the piece.
    I wound up using a water based urethane with low VOCs and my wife let me use her yoga studio (old living/dining room) for glue up. The finished piece cleared the open casing and newel post by 1/2" on either side! I know all about "must go through the door!"
    Oh, watching it at the breakfast bar in the kitchen. Battery is dead and I don't want to drag an extension cord outside to the deck. Happy Sunday morning!
