Okay, these are all the boxes for the workstation.
I'm going to do my best to set it all up myself. We will see how this goes.
Oh, look at that.
Oh, wow. This is all velcro. And all those cable ties.
Okay, so first thing, I'm going to watch the instruction video.
This is going to be a doozy. I know, you're just going to focus.
So they give us a sturdy plastic bag that's full of all of the like parts and bits and
bolts and stuff that we'll need. But outside of that, there's no organization.
It is literally just everything. Here's bits.
There's an allen key. There's a wrench. A little bit of organization would have been much appreciated, to be honest.
Look at this cute little guy. He's so small. He's just, he's just a little guy.
So I was wasting my time with these five different sizes of hex keys.
And then I remembered, in the LTT screwdriver, there's a hex bit.
And because I needed five different sizes, we also have a metric hex set, LTTstore.com.
So here's something. You have to attach this little guy to the bottom of the space, but they don't tell you
which way is up. And you can't tell in the instructions of the video because it's too fast and too small.
But they don't tell you in the instructions in the paper because those instructions, they
just say put it together, which is not the most helpful.
So here's something fun that I just found out. See this little hole that goes right through this thing, it's supposed to line up so that
I can take this, put it on, and then put a bit through it.
But this is off by about three millimeters. So I guess what I'm going to have to do is drill this hole a little bit wider, which
is not what I was expecting to do. Two hours in and I only have, I don't even have the base ready yet, so yay.
So I have returned from the shop and I now possess a much larger hole.
Okay, so it's been a couple of days since I started building this thing.
I had to leave it, do a work on some other stuff. Now I'm getting back to it and I'm going to be working on building the actual bed of this
thing and it starts by putting Velcro all over the tubes so that you can have this mattress.
Here we go. Use extra if you want.
So I guess if I don't like it, I got to take the whole mattress off and disassemble it.
This is good, we can start all the way around and then we can really kind of, not even really
wrapped around on this side, right? Like, see this is all wrapped around much further and then this is just, like, it's just
kind of floating there. Well, maybe if we do start on the other side, it'll help.
You see the lumps? Why is it lumpy?
My idea for an intro that we totally will not be able to do is that we have this at
the top of a tall hill and I go, my name's Adam and this is Linus Tech Tips.
And then we just, and I was like, and then we just roll this down a hill.
Like, it's mostly like this is Jacket because it looks like it's a fucking roll cage.
Do you not want to see this go down a hill?
With all the stuff, well, and a guy, but then I have to take it apart and reassemble it
because this thingy needs to go down there, which means I need to take this off or maybe
I just take these two parts off, lift this up, but then I need to take this whole.
This is my own fault.
I just want to read this from the instructions on camera.
Hold nuts and bolts inside the connectors with your fingers to prevent falling out.
So see, there's the bolt in there, hold it with your fingers.
Close both parts of a pipe holder around the ends of the seat pipes and proceed with tightening
the pipe holder bolts evenly, alternating between the bolts.
Use both Allen keys to hold the nut on one side and tighten the bolt on the other.
Make sure to hold both Allen keys straight and firm when rotating to prevent the keys
from slipping or damaging the hexagon head bolts.
What? What? Oh my God.
This is everything I need to make the side table.
I'm so sorry. Yeah, I don't know how this is.
Oh my God. Here we go, boys.
You know, I could think of a smarter way to do this and that would be to like just take
a sharpie right now, mark, and then kind of take the things off, but actually I'm good
to do the smart thing.
And we are live. Oh God. It's okay, Dan.
You're only on the shotgun. This is going to go so wrong. Finally building it.
Oh, finally. I mean, I'm continuing to build it. It's a bit like you chair for a little while now.
Yeah, it's going to be, I guess it's being more of a adjustment.
You can only get it to be adjusted like twice before you just hold for days.
This is a lot of pieces to hold with one hand. Oh, I don't like that type.
And then I need to, it's going to go here.
I feel like I needed a shorter pipe.
It feels a little, still a little close.
I think maybe it won't warm up here. Let's just hold the laptop and then I'll have a desk here.
So maybe I want the laptop on the left. No, what's going on?
Did you finish that today? That's the hope.
What time is it? I don't think I'm finishing it today, but eventually I got to like screw into the wood.
Wood? Yeah. So there's this wood.
This is going to be a desk for my keyboard here.
This will be adjustable kind of.
So you screw it in here and then like here we can get it at a different angle and it
can be right like that. So I'm trying to figure out if, I mean, no one's going to put it there.
So you could probably just go ahead with screwing it in with a couple at the front here.
But the question is, would I want it to come in front of me?
The real issue is just that it's all wood screws.
So I kind of have to decide in advance.
But this isn't terrible because I'm also going to like access it.
Yeah, but we need to kind of screw it all together.
I think I had another bar and then I have like a 55 inch TV.
I think that's, I think that's the ultimate goal.
I'm not clear as to what they shipped it with.
Thanks Jonathan for filming me and making me look nicer.
Jonathan Horst Mac Address. Subscribe is a good, it's good stuff.
My favorite. I've become undone.
I've become undone.
Oh, that's actually a little, no, I think we want to like here.
Do you want it higher? No, this is great. Yeah, you're happy there?
Yeah. Is it centered?
Yeah, it's centered on me. Okay, there we go. That's probably not going to fall down and kill you.
And then the TV is going to be up here or something? Oh my God, you're going to put the TV on it too?
Hell yeah. Or do I want it on this thing?
That's so far away when we're down there.
So it's going to be annoying because you have to refocus your eye.
I also want to just get this like screwed on. Okay.
I think that the desk is not going to be bad.
Well, here's the thing we need to like set the height.
Yeah. Okay.
This is, and then if we go up, I think we'd want it.
Yeah, hold it together like that. But then I'm trying to like, I'm going to put my legs like this.
And then I type here. And maybe I want it further like this.
But that's going to be very limiting. No.
Because I want it, like my arms are going to be like this.
So this is my hacking pose.
I believe that's it. They started it. Maybe we should just get a drill.
Yep. Oh, you got it. Dang it.
Oh, are you okay? Okay, cool. Sweet.
Have I got one in? That was only one in store pack? I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. If you look right there, you'll see, hey, hey, look at that guy.
If you look right there, you'll see that it's kind of come apart.
Because I guess it didn't have it tightened up. So I need to like force it together.
I think it's finally ready. I'm going to move my workstation over.
Join us. Welcome to a day in the life of Linus Media Group.
I'm joined by A-Prime. We're professionals.
I'm joined by A-Prime and the mannequin.
I don't know what we're professionals at. Professional is sucking on our jobs.
I don't know.
Okay, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to grab a big zip tie.
I'm going to put it through here and wrap it around there.
And then if it does... It won't flop as much.
Okay? Okay. I appreciate your knowledge and floppage control.
Sweet mother of God.
Okay, we're in. Only the picture of the GQ article about the dudes...
This sucks. Okay, we can leave it here.
Yeah, it ain't going anywhere. What the hell did... How did they do that?
Perfect, done. What? Yeah.
Yay! Thank you so much, Jamie. You're welcome, buddy.
Now this guy's got a computer attached. I'm a hundred percent sure.
And I will not change it even if it's different.
Okay, so this is your main monitor.
This is awful. This doesn't even go far enough. Well, that's because you're short.
What do you mean? I got that long torso.
Oh, this is awful.
See, I would adjust it for you, but the only way to adjust it is the screws.
Why would they do that? You put it into the actual wood instead of on like a drawer.
No, it should be a drawer so you can get in and out. It should be like a server thing, but...
It's not even big enough for the screen.
I know, it's supposed to be a... Can you have them to a 55 inch? What is this?
You don't have a 55 inch. This is 48. You hate this on purpose?
It is very comfortable. I will give it that. Like this chair is extremely comfortable.
And that alone kind of makes you want to use it just because it is so comfortable.
This isn't a work mode. But I would not look at this screen.
You can go flatter for sleep. Sleep mode. Yes, you have different settings at the bottom.
You get to unscrew stuff. You'll have to get out. Oh.
You have to lift it up and move it down. It's not awkward. By then I've woken up.
I'm back into camera mode. No, I think... Oh, here I am.
So here's some of the issues I have with the way this thing is mounted.
As you can see, it's hanging through just of these little pressure hooks.
And as I've used this and gotten in and out of it, this has come out.
It's no longer in it. Yeah, okay, sure.
It might be like user error, but that doesn't inspire confidence.
The fact that I did torque these pretty hard.
And tighten them is pretty good. But still, they're just coming out.
I worked really hard to build this. And you guys are both being very...
I technically helped. You're very rude, Adam.
I also helped. And Dan also worked really hard.
We built this. Thank you. We.
This is a team effort. You, sir. You just brought everybody down.
They're like my father. We worked so hard, but it's still terrible.
Yeah. Yeah, it's like everything I try at life at.
