    Not even 20 seconds into the video and I paused it to write this. Are you kidding me? That desk/chair is AWESOME. OK, let me get back to watching video. btw, awesome work done by your sis.

      I did the SAME thing! DualEx - I have NEVER stopped a video to make a comment BEFORE I finished the video! (Ok, truth be known, I have probably only commented on about 10 videos in my entire life! You are beyond talented! My German grandfather was a master furniture designer. In college, while I was taking sculpture classes, I would dream furniture designs... LIKE this! I strive for the "hidden" and "multi-functional" surprise to design. YOU'VE GOT IT! I sent the first bit of your clip here to a furniture designer and he was blown away. KEEP IT UP... but GO BIG! You are WAY beyond talented for just "van life" (not knocking it because it's my fantasy to get away from it all!)...but you need to grow this idea! BRAVO!~ Bravo, also, for making my 15 y/o son think that building and design is cool! Like my son, I bet you used to create all your own Lego designs of WAY cooler models than what was pictured on the box!

    Brother, those wire connections you made with the needle nose, will most likely fail on you. There are tools that have the crimpers for those type of connectors. I would redo those so you don’t have any headaches later tho, or before you sell it if you’re not keeping it. Bro, your building as improved so much man! I have been checking out your builds for awhile, and I see your skills improving so much. We just have to get you a little more info about the electrical. It’s been fun watching, and this build is well thought out so far, and the hidden chair set up....bravo brother! That’s going to be copied for sure!! Only thing I would do different is put plastic bumper guides along the sides of the chair, and legs to help it move smoother.
    Sorry for the long comment, but very impressive man! If you want help with that electrical, or build ideas with the other utilities, let me know. I can send you an email with my info or something. I got injured so I can’t do this stuff anymore, but I would love for my skills to help someone at least. Just let me know
    Oh and all that work in your apartment.....that’s funny because that’s a good amount of work in a small space. I love your drive, but that has to suck! Lol but love the drive! You might have stuff to learn, but totally see you with a shop and a company doing this. What skills you don’t have, you can hire in or do a channel with someone. But we need to get you a shop for more space, someone’s garage maybe. Lol 😂
