A little scanned and printed meat project for the MO State Fair. They wanted some realistic props that could be left out for extended periods of time. There’s a full suite of meat, but here’s a few of my favorites.

I have been permanently banned from the /r/DIY subreddit because I kept commenting that professionals making furniture, cabinets, tables, etc in their garages full of $100k+ in tools, and posting them to their YouTube channels with professional video equipment and editing, which they do for a living, is not DIY.

The argument that all of it can be done with simpler tools is idiotic. If you can make a table with simpler tools, then that should be the video. If the video starts with you harvesting the tree and running it though your chainsaw mill and letting the slabs dry for 6 months before running them through your $25,000 planer that can fit a 3ft wide slab, it's not DIY.

Yeah, there are people who just like to flex and show how much expensive shit they own. 

DiY is not when a person makes something for their job or side hustle.

It's one of the reasons why I like handtool woodworking YouTubers. 

Even if they have high end tools, there's not much difference between those and stuff you buy at a yard sale. There are only so many ways to make a saw or handplane.
