    I thump this down. Because there was very little DIY in this video. One is the cost of the DIY.
    A lot of people to this day still don't have that kind of money to have 3D printers or high-tech gear.
    the whole purpose of DIY is to make things with little or no money! That is what this channel was built on!

    I really like the ad countdown timer in the corner. I'm not sure why, but it makes the ad read more tolerable somehow. Maybe it's just because it makes it feel finite and therefore survivable. Either way, just wanted to call out that tiny but appreciated detail

    Lol. Just this past weekend pricing out PVC for a backdrop/green screen. An OK on Amazon was cheaper than the PVC itself would cost.
    Definitely price out your materials lists and see if it would be worth paying $5 more to not have the agro of the build when you can buy off the shelf :)
