So today I'm not gonna make a shitty robot but something that's like, kind of the opposite which is both very wild and
conventional at the same time because when you make a shitty robot, you take something that's like really
Sophisticated as in robotics and you turn it into something terrible, but I want to make something nice out of something
That's like kind of cheep and boring
I'm gettin a makeover?
You're getting a makeover?
Yes Scott, I have lots of power tools and tape, we could figure something out
Just like the little tuck in tape.
No, I'm gonna make three desks for the office upstairs out of OSB also known as Oh,
Such Board. It's made by wood flakes that are compressed with like wax and resin and it's just like
Super cheap and common build material, but when you look at them, they kind of have like a nice pattern
I was thinking I would like paint the pattern or like fill some of the wood flakes in. Does that make sense?
Actually, it doesn't matter if it makes sense
As long as you don't stop watching the video. Sounds like I'm threatening people. As I said, I have power tools and tape
I'm just gonna glue this together with some plywood because it's a little bit thin and flimsy
I need to find like heavy objects to weigh it down with as It's drying
Just gonna put the current political situation on top, or like movies where a loyal pet dies my soul
I think that ought to weigh it down
Good job
I love woodworking, but whenever I have to sand something
I want to give up like half way through, which was the same sentiment that made me drop out of college after just a year
Okay, it was a bit more nuanced than that
But the thing is I'm still paying off my student loans, which also segues me into the sponsored message from Lou Merit
Yeah, I managed to go from
Sanding to college debt in like two sentences. I don't know if that impresses you but it impresses me
I'm an easy crowd
anyway

Hi Scott
It's fine, you can be up there. I'm just gonna paint the -
the desks, I still have my hopes up that they're gonna
turn into something pretty.
I don't know if I like it or not.
Man, I spent like five hours painting this so I feel like I kind of just have to like it.
You know when you invest in so much into something that you don't have a choice whether you like it or not?
Kind of like the parent of a teenager. Okay. I need to paint the other two desks and they're gonna be different colors,
so maybe that would look better. Let's just spend some more time on it and then things might look different in the morning.
I just really like taking
very basic materials and that people trying to don't pay any attention to and trying to make them look nice,
like I love art made out of PCB. You've got, like, a circuit board material and stuff like that works like
If somebody would just take a second and look at it and be like hey, I can make something out of this
I'm done
Got three desks, so all three desks are sanded and glued and the edges are routed
I painted them and then put varnish on top and here they are
I called this one broken ice. This one is something to do with like a skin infection or like pus
like pussy blister
Is pussy (pus) spelled the same way as.. oh fuck
That might be too crude even for me oh, let's just call it like
skin infection or like "Hudinfektion" in Swedish, so it sounds like IKEA furniture
This one's forgot to bring a tampon to work
Also, I'm all like "the desks are done!" but they obviously still don't have legs on them
But I'm traveling to Sweden on Monday to hang out with my family
And also I'm finally selling my house boat so I won't have time to finish them
You'll just have to make do with really nice shots of them standing on like a compost bin and a recycling bin
You may not call me, not only the Queen of shitty robots, but also the queen of high-end furniture, I don't know
I don't know. They're kind of ugly but
Who isn't
That's all. I'll post a photo on Instagram once they're done but don't hold your breath for it. Okay. Bye
