How to Make Other Woodworkers Insecure

Step 1) Select boards and make it seem like you hiked The Rockies high and low to find something rare.

Step 2) Use Expensive CNC to plane your boards.

Step 3) Stage sander to look like a job well done was accomplished solely by your hard work.

Step 4) Add a "rough shot" for effect.

Step 5) Throw a leftover Mountain Dew on that slab to show some true colors, like my ex when she didn't choose me over her computer career. Use this moment to explain how amazing this wood is without sounding pervish.

Step 6) Don't explain how but show a cool feature you added.

Step 7) Repeat.

Step 8) Angles, angles, angles! And wax. Always use wax. (Obligatory henggggg).

Step 9) Add some gizmo to make the desk better than 95% of the DIYs out there...let viewers' inadequacy sink in.

Step 11) Show a finished piece and make it look like no effort at all (Internally scream at the frustrations along the way)
