    You could also just use @ 1:35 you could also use 8" nails and just put a 1" collar under the head so it only goes 7" down. You coule use something as simple as tape to make the collar. That way they're easier to take out than the countersunk ones.

It’s a heartbreaking loss that still exists. This guy has out of anyone given the most grant worthy content since the passing of grant to date. The flow, the quick, his voice, the style. It flows and speaks of reincarnation of grant and it brings tears to me eyes. Thank you new gentlemen for doing this beautiful thing. I really hope you continue and hopefully more and more support will notice.

    Mortar would help, I was just keeping it really simple. And I marked the bricks later, so sorry I didn’t get that in the video! You’re totally right! -Jarom

    Ah yes the glory days like the water balloon launcher and the ninja turtle ooze or the edible lego bricks
