The touch controls on this lamp are way more satisfying than I expected.

No switches… just tap the base to smoothly cycle through the brightness settings.

Apparently this lamp REALLY wants you to use the included bulb.

They do say replacement bulbs need to be three-way dimmable… but it definitely made me wonder what happens years from now when the bulb eventually dies.

A new reel for a lamp in my desk

I didn’t realize how much lighting affected my workspace until I added this lamp.

The softer ambient lighting completely changed the feel of the room during late-night editing sessions.

I went way overboard for a lamp video, but I couldn't help it. I love this lamp WAY too much!

This lamp ended up making a much bigger difference to my desk setup than I expected.

I specifically chose the darker shade because I wanted softer ambient lighting while working at night, and it completely changed the feel of the workspace.

The touch controls work really well, the dimming is smooth, and the built-in USB ports are actually a pretty nice bonus.

Honestly, one of my favorite desk setup additions so far.

Before you build this grill… check your parts first.

I didn’t realize until almost the end of the build that my grill handle was missing from the box.

Definitely would’ve saved me some frustration.

Yes… you should clean a brand new grill before cooking on it.

The manual says to do an initial burnoff and clean the coal tray before the first cook.

Thanks for following! Here is my dog as my supervisor

Apparently laying down a blanket during furniture assembly also means your dog is now part of the project.

Wouldn’t have it any other way though.

Remove these before your first cook.

If you leave the stickers on your grill, the adhesive can basically bake onto the metal permanently.

Learned that one the hard way years ago.
