Idiot YouTuber Steals Customers From IKEA

In this video, I take on a challenge that starts with a simple promise to help my daughter with IKEA furniture... but quickly turns into a custom desk build! With two days to spare, I designed and built two desks from WISA Birch Plywood, skipping IKEA and opting for something more unique. Using dovetail joinery and Rubio Monocoat finish, these desks came together in style! Thank you to ‪@TheSwedishMaker‬ for letting me use clips from    • pay a woodworker instead   (go watch) A special thanks to the folks at @UPMPlywood . Check them out at https://www.wisaplywood.com. Follow along as I deal with tight deadlines, tear-out disasters, and a few unexpected problems along the way. Will I finish before the trip across Denmark? And most importantly, will my daughter love it? Spoiler: She did! 🙌 Video editing @BearAtSki 👉 Get Rubio Monocoat here with a 5% discount: USA store: https://www.rubiomonocoatusa.com#jesp...
