Lmao doesn’t line up. I can’t imagine how much trash is gonna get caught in the drawer. Why not just remove the whole drawer? Not to say that putting a hole in your granite countertop isn’t the dumbest fucking idea ever.
Plus there’s no way that paint will stay on the finished countertop, but maybe he’s hoping for that. I can just imagine trying to resell the house lol.
The whole video seems like intentional "rage bait", as literally everything is wrong or generally stupid.
TBH, kinda applies to vast majority of the DiWHY stuff.
Yeah everything, cutting directly on the countertop, the stupid hole, the crap paint that will come up with humidity much less cleaning. Just ragebait.
Mmm, silicosis! 😬
Can’t believe he did that shit without a mask and then plays with the dust. Fuck.
Right!? Even in a well ventilated shop designed for cutting that material a mask is required.
In this house we throw the entire vegetable into the trash
After cutting it straight on the worktop without a chopping board, too. Fuck your knives, fuck your surfaces, fuck cleaning up afterwards.
Good thing peppers are a fruit
🤯
All fruit are vegetables. Some vegetables are fruit.
This guy has perfected rage bait
Enthusiastically do everything wrong, because nobody would ever watch his videos otherwise.
And ruin a perfectly good marble kitchen table in the process... priceless!
It's not marble, it's laminate lol.
No, you can see the pattern goes all the way through the stone when he puts the tube in the hole. It's definitely not marble, but it could be granite or possibly corian. It's not an expensive countertop, maybe $1,000 worth of material.
I think it's laminate on wood, and he used strips after the fact on the interior of the hole. Hard to tell with the quick cuts and shit quality, but you might be right on the corian though. Definitely not marble lol.
That's possible, I hadn't thought of that. But also there wasn't any sawdust, it was all white powder. Any way you slice it, it's rage bait bullshit.
In any case, it's some kind of a stone... and they're not cheap (at least where I live).
I'm just glad I didn't give views to this fuckup on his platform.
This is why I don't let people touch my knives...
Yum fumes.
Also these have to be taking place right before demos, right?
The coroner’s going to have a field day with this guy’s lungs.
Hell, he could probably make a marble stool or something with what's left in him...
He’ll just turn into a statue/rock monster like the vestal virgins in the doctor who Pompeii episode.
The Tom and Jerry looks kinda cool, but I dint want to clean that + it won't stay there. For the trash thing, you can just stand on the other side and have the trash can right next to you.
Why would you do that when you can drill a hole in your marble kitchen table top 🤨?
I'm not sure why this post exists, it does line up...
It's called perspective, we are looking at two holes offset by some distance from an offset perspective which means the hole below will look offset away from our point of reference. Which it does, expectedly.
I think the idea is pretty cool, the application kind of sucks.
THAT SAID
Also he ruined a perfectly good drawer in the process and little food remains are inevitably going to accumulate there and start to stink.
If only longer plastic tubes existed 😭... why, oh why god, why don't they make them longer 😭😭😭!
And chopping straight onto a counter without a chopping board? Cringe.
“Why would you want to do that?”
Thanks for speaking my mind, dude.
The Tom and Jerry decal was cool. Cutting a hole through your counter just to have quicker access to throwing things away, not so much.
