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.

    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!

    This would have been the perfect project to branch out and try a new style. It seems you went the "safe" route. Same color scheme you usually use, same walnut wood and same design as you normally would do. Try something crazy and different every now and then. When I think of you making a lava lamp I could definitely picture it being this. Do a 180 next time and surprise us. All that said the project came out great looks dope. But from an artistic sense I would have loved to see you go crazy with it
