Midweek 102


Direct video link - https://youtu.be/syahgrBMqHY


Hi everyone. Just a quick update on the net project; I was trying to get this out for Friday to pick up the pace of the videos a bit, but it's turned out to be a little more finicky than I'd intended, we have friends passing through London tomorrow (Thursday) and staying with us on their way 'up north' and tbh I just didn't really fancy rushing it.


These schedules are self-imposed of course, and if I miss a deadline - even an off-schedule one like this - then the world won't end.


The drawers have come along pretty well - they're a little less snug now, at least - and I should have the runners glued in and the drawer boxes made up, albeit without fascias, by the time you read this. We'll see!


And just a final reminder that the comments will close on the Sealey sander giveaway this Friday at noon, so if you haven't put your name down already then get it done before then, OK? I'll do the draw in Sundays AWITW vid.


Thank you! Peter

When you edit the final video, I would find it really helpful to see the finished project first. I like to see something first and then what follows can be put into context.

It’s something I try to do Barry (it was mentioned to me previously as a technique for ‘retaining engagement’ by someone who made training videos for a living) but it’s not always possible - apart from the fact the builds can be done days if not weeks ahead, there’s also how you tie that in to the story you’re telling without a clunky transition - “let’s go back to the beginning where I was still figuring stuff out and before any of this happened…” Grand Designs don’t generally show the big reveal until the end for a reason. I always try to show the ‘finished product’ on the thumbnail - it’s why the thumbnails are often shot last, even though it…

Should you really be in a workshop if you don't have a rule, there's basic then there's basic 🤣, look forward to seeing the finished product.

It reminds me of that old joke where someone wallpapers their living room from a wallpaper sample book because they can't afford to buy the full rolls 😁

And it was a heck of a patter to match! 😂 So far it's worked out pretty well Colin, with no major issues. Other than taking a lot longer than I'd planned! 🤷‍♂️
