"what jumps out to me is the incongruity of the drawers in their closed and open states.all of the photos show closed drawers more or less touching or resting upon the table surface, but in the photos showing drawers in an open position, the bottom edge of the drawer front is somehow 3-4 mm above the desk surface... in defiance of basic cabinetmaking principles, and of physics in general.if the grooves in the case are tight enough to hold the drawer up in that extended position, they're too tight and will bite and bind."
"Expand your world-view Dave ;;))From Wikipedia:Metric cupAustralia, Canada, New Zealand, and some other members of the Commonwealth of Nations, being former British colonies that have since metricated, employ a "metric cup" of 250 millilitres. Although derived from the metric system, it is not an SI unit.1 cup = 250 millilitres= 162⁄3 international tablespoons (15 ml each)= 12.5 Australian tablespoons (20 ml each)= 25 dessertspoons (10 ml each)≈ 8.80 imperial fluid ounces≈ 8.45 US customary fluid ounces"
"the video isn't faked. the movement of the cassette you call a jump in the video is a result of the tape side / direction change and the electro-mechanical stuff going on in there. It also happens at 1:03 when the direction is changed."
"the doors are nice enough, but it drives me nuts that in every photo above, the surrounding plaster / wall board surfaces don't look particularly well done. the wall surface curvatures are a series of vertical flat planes to make the curve happen, but there are clearly visible "flat" sections that disrupt the curve visually. they didn't slit or break the wall panels closely enough to follow the curve more gracefully, or the framing lacked proper attention to detail."
"angle grinding in the shop without having to worry about sparks landing in a saw-dusty corner!spray painting and solvents without the fumes!make a giant mess without having to clean it up!no thanks :://"
