All your friends are lying to you...

Join me as I butcher the pronunciation of Shou Sugi Ban, a traditional Japanese wood preservation technique. Or, if that doesn't sound cool enough, join me as I build a solid oak desk and then take a fricken flame thrower to it! Big thank you to Minwax for sponsoring this build as part of their celebration of Woodworking Month. When I'm building free furniture for my friends having sponsors for builds really helps me cover the production costs. This desk is for my buddy Robin who helped me out on my keyboard tray video. Along the way, I also explore concepts of friendship, and why it can be SO HARD to get honest feedback from your friends about your art.
