Hi Dave, long time listener, first time caller. Actually, I've been watching since the Drunken Woodworker days. Just wanted to say this is my favorite video that you've made. Love the project. Laughed a lot watching and rewatching the accident in the intro. Love that you allow your direction and vision on the project to morph as you progress. All just good stuff. Ok, bye.

4:38 so a pro tip from a chick who isn’t a “planner”. Just tape it together. You can still get a sense of how to proceed but without the “oh snap that’s backwards moment” that might happen. I honestly thought that you were gonna use a wood burner to enhance the gap. You just leveled up the college dorm!! I love the piece. It is just cool.

Honestly, I hate it. Everything about it. And I’m a big lava lamp fan. Perhaps that’s why. But this video is art. It’s just unbelievably chaotic, the pace is all over the place, you seem like you might have dropped a few shrooms and just thrown every bonkers idea at it. To hilarious consequences. Dave, as ever, we salute you. You’re a national treasure.

This would have been the perfect project to branch out and try a new style. It seems you went the "safe" route. Same color scheme you usually use, same walnut wood and same design as you normally would do. Try something crazy and different every now and then. When I think of you making a lava lamp I could definitely picture it being this. Do a 180 next time and surprise us. All that said the project came out great looks dope. But from an artistic sense I would have loved to see you go crazy with it

When I was a kid my lava lamp fell and broke onto shag carpet. Because the wax was hot, it immediately bonded into the shag. What a mess! I wasn’t sure where you were going with this but the addition of a lamp on top is pretty cool. I’m not so sure about the clay but hey man we all do our thing!

I knew that you made music for your videos but something about noticing the labeling of the music in this video made me realize that I really love the sonic landscape you create in your videos. It made me realize that your music is definitely part of why I love your videos and I really enjoy how using many of the same clips has almost created a sonic branding of your videos.
