    “Today we’re gonna make an entire dream house for only $0.17. So to start with, let’s go outside and see what we can find just laying around.”

    grabs $47,000metal detector, hops in a $60k 4x4 with clear product placement labels in every shot, two minutes of time-lapse of someone wandering around aimlessly while apparently looking for things

    “Alright so we found a couple old glass bottles that can be washed out and made into a rustic display piece, and if you follow me over here you’ll never guess what I found. That’s right, its 147 acres of forested land with a 6 bedroom, 2.5 floor cabin and small pond, all with blank ownership forms! And with just a couple million graciously donated by my parents, we have all we need!”

    " this just goes to show all you need to do to accomplish your dreams is get your hands dirty and do a little hard work."

    filler for ad revenue

    " Anyway thanks for watching, this episode was sponsored by that game company you hate and can never escape ads for! "

    Don’t forget the plainer, 6ft vices, 14in miter, industrial table saw, ceiling vacuum, 10k sqft working space, chisels, and time.

    Oh and the pallet that isn’t covered in grime and weathered.

    I’m not sure there’s another tool people spend more time on Youtube excusing themselves for using. Just imagine:

    “Now on this project I am going to be using my palm sander. Now you don’t have to have a palm sander, you can get pretty good results sanding by hand. But since I do have a palm sander, I’m going to use it.”

    If I was running a commercial shop churning out furniture for retail sale, I might buy something like a Domino. The time it saves over a router table or dowel jig will pay for itself if it means you can build 10 chests-of-drawers in a month instead of 9.

    In my home shop, which is a 10x12 shed in which I make stuff for me and my family, thinking about maybe opening a little Etsy store…I ain’t got room for the box it comes in. I legitimately struggled to find a place to put some sandpaper I bought the other day.
