Q & A:

"How many channels are you currently subscribed to? How do you find time to watch them all (keep up to date)"

James: I make it a priority as it is very important to me. I subscribe to over 500 channels and get notifications from around 400 and watch around 20 videos a day. I do use the 2X speed control on most videos.

"What options did you consider for securing the top of the dresser to the carcass? Pros and Cons of the options and why you decided on the final option? James: I did not want to use screws or groove clips but needed something strong enough to lift the whole dresser. For that I love figure 8 clips. Low profile and very strong."

- Brad Knecht
