I Made a RGB/LED Gaming Desk

Warning! This video is less of a how-to and more of a process documentary. There's a lot of talking, pontificating, thinking out loud, and general yappin'. I had to work through some challenges as I built the RGB top and I don't pull any punches on the materials and tools I used to make it. I hope you enjoy this slightly different style of video.
