    David, I’ve been watching your channel and listening to the podcast for years, and I just want to say, I absolutely love the direction that you’re taking with your videos. You’re clearly having a blast, and it’s contagious. Keep it up bud!!

    It would be amazing to redo this project on the lathe, then cut in in half with the bandsaw, insert the lava lamp, and re-glue.

    Hi Dave, long time listener, first time caller. Actually, I've been watching since the Drunken Woodworker days. Just wanted to say this is my favorite video that you've made. Love the project. Laughed a lot watching and rewatching the accident in the intro. Love that you allow your direction and vision on the project to morph as you progress. All just good stuff. Ok, bye.

    This one took many unexpected turns, and I love it! Completely unnecessary project, but hey, we need more of that in our lives, don't we? So many fun things in this video. And I learned a new safety tip! I'll file "always cut towards yourself" right after "always start the drill before screwing". Really enjoying your tone lately. It's a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!

    4:38 so a pro tip from a chick who isn’t a “planner”. Just tape it together. You can still get a sense of how to proceed but without the “oh snap that’s backwards moment” that might happen.
    I honestly thought that you were gonna use a wood burner to enhance the gap.
    You just leveled up the college dorm!! I love the piece. It is just cool.

    When I was a kid my lava lamp fell and broke onto shag carpet. Because the wax was hot, it immediately bonded into the shag. What a mess! I wasn’t sure where you were going with this but the addition of a lamp on top is pretty cool. I’m not so sure about the clay but hey man we all do our thing!

  • @timothy.henkel
    @timothy.henkel Před rokem +1

    Great video! So many great moments. I haven’t been to Spencers in 100 years. Dude! “I stabbed myself”. Adding the chamfer on the joint is the exact advice my artist son just gave me on a box project where I was struggling with the lid to box joint.
