    I love the fact that you always list measurements. Not only doesnt it make it easier in general, it also helps when resizing.

    I'm just here to be another person who tells you that your channel calms me down really well. Not only the videos are so calming themselves and your voice and music so soothing, but you are also so nice to your subscribers! It really cuts down the anxiety to be wrong on the internet or to accidentally offend a creator... I don't know how to explain it better but I just felt the need to say it.
    Thank you so much!

    I love the level of detail on this desk. It would have been so easy to slap decorative drawer fronts on with nothing behind them and call it good, but the real working drawers are what make this build for me! I have such fun watching your videos. Thank you for sharing them!

    I have always been the arts n' crafts person in my family, although everyone is creative. Watching others create is very relaxing to me, however watching you create not only relaxes me but makes me excite to adventure into new territory. Thank you for sharing your talent! You're brilliant!

    • @skyllo
      @skyllo 7 років тому +2

      aw why'd you have to compare? this is square to spare's video and out of respect for the channel owner, what you said about another channel is unnecessary.

    • @ALLMUTANTER
      @ALLMUTANTER 7 років тому

      The Square to Spare YES! Exactly what I was gonna ask! Drums please! Your guitar vid attracted lots of musicians and you need to do ALL instruments and should monetize your channel and make money if haven't already! And also I think your voice and nails are lovely : )

    • @16jojo7
      @16jojo7 7 років тому +2

      Yeah it would be so cool! I though it would be awesome making a replica of my own one :)

      @crazychicken7125 3 роки тому

      I know. This showed up in my recommended just now, and the first thing i thought when i saw it was that it looked a awful lot like the desk i had in my dorm. And sure enough, when I scale the measurements back up to full size, they are about what i remember my desk being

    Okay Lady...you are way to good with all this cuttin and poppin and paintin! So fess up...are you an architect in your real life? Seriously, you are fabulous and I love your videos. I just have one request. Would it be possible for you to put a link to a page with the actual measurements of each project. I have to start and stop the video a brunch of times to get all the specs before I can start any of your projects. Oh, can you make a vintage office phone to go with the typewriter you did. I think it would look good on a desk for a receptionist in an office. Blessings and keep on poppin!

    • @TheSquaretoSpare
      @TheSquaretoSpare  7 років тому +3

      Hey Mary thank you!! I'll try to begin listing all the measurements in the description (I don't currently have a website to link to unfortunately). And no, haha, not an architect here :P Real life job is soooo far from anything creative- gotta pay the bills somehow ;)
