Opening the LGR YouTube Play Buttons (and improving them)
Added 2019-07-22 03:02:36 +0000 UTCYeah, so confession time: I've never really done anything with my YouTube rewards. Barely even opened them. Got my 100k play button plaque six years ago and my 1 million at the start of this year. They're nice but I dunno, trophies are weird to me.
But then after the ten year anniversary of LGR passed by I decided, "yeah, I guess these are worth displaying," and dug them out of storage along with my old VHS-C camcorder.
So let's unbox both of them and hang them up in the office! Well, after modifying them just a little bit.
As you may know, I was a custom picture framer for many years before doing LGR full time. And eh, I'm a bit particular about what I hang on my walls as a result. Cheap sawtooth hangers and slapdash frame joints simply will not cut it. And c'mon, no bumper pads? Tsk tsk, YouTube, you can do better.
Anyway, somehow this video ended up being an unplanned custom framing thing and I'm not sure how I feel about this, haha. Although it was oddly fun to put together, I admit.
Hope you enjoy this simple Monday video while I work on bigger things! Currently have a nifty XT-class computer build on my table so I'm quite excited to dive into that.

... an LGR Framing thing. Really enjoyed this.

2019-07-25 17:13:55 +0000 UTCSaw that little smudge in the corner right away and the whole video was worth it when you wiped it away
2019-07-23 17:01:18 +0000 UTCThis was really peaceful to watch. I ran a little one-room art gallery in my hometown for 6 years (until the end of 2017), and many of my artists brought in their work without hanging hardware. Much of my days were consumed with this sort of thing. It could be meditative, in a way. Like you, I don’t miss much of the rest of it. Haha. Really enjoyed this video, thanks!

2019-07-23 01:23:34 +0000 UTCOh gosh. I need to reframe EVERYTHING

LGR
2019-07-22 20:42:46 +0000 UTCYeah they really upped their game on these things. Hope you got some wall space set aside for yours, it's a beast!
LGR
2019-07-22 20:42:13 +0000 UTCWow.. that Gold one is nice. Hope to have mine soon!

2019-07-22 18:22:05 +0000 UTCAfter watching this video you've convinced me to go buy rubber pads for all my framed photos.

2019-07-22 15:24:42 +0000 UTCI used to be a framer too at one point, but it was more of a hassle job as the owner was a jerk. I do miss mat cutting though, found a lot of zen in that.

2019-07-22 09:52:06 +0000 UTCI like to think that the person who framed the 100,000 sub award will end up watching this, smiling at the praise lavished upon his/her work by phreakindee. But then Clint looked at that corner and leveled accusations of "shiny sharpie retouching ineptness" < (an actual quote from the video, you can check! :3) at them, blissfully unaware he had made a dire archnemesis in the process. Can Clint dust off his mad custom frame crafting skills and defeat the Unknown Framer in a "frame-off" tournament and save the world? Find out this fall, coming soon to a local theatre near you...

2019-07-22 07:11:55 +0000 UTCCould have had anything printed on that gold button, I confess I'm disapointed it doesnt say BALLS! :p Congrats as always on your subs dude! Very well deserved!

2019-07-22 07:09:49 +0000 UTCThat was really nice! It’s neat to see you show off a different skill set. Also you gave it the nice relaxing charm I always enjoy, so that helped. Great work!
2019-07-22 06:45:11 +0000 UTCGreat video!
2019-07-22 05:56:54 +0000 UTCLoved the video. Reminded me of how anal I am about stuff I get that involves previous jobs of mine, like commercial and residential painting.
2019-07-22 04:34:42 +0000 UTCDefinitely. I had to grow into them, they didn't feel like they applied when I got them :)
LGR
2019-07-22 04:31:26 +0000 UTCNice chill episode for my breakfast :) I understand you I think. Trophies can feel cliché, but now It's more of appreciation then pride.

2019-07-22 04:25:49 +0000 UTCLet's all hope I did Rick proud.
LGR
2019-07-22 04:18:14 +0000 UTCOne cannot not like that knot 👍
LGR
2019-07-22 04:17:59 +0000 UTCI think "Rick" will be proud of your improvements to the 100k frame. :)

2019-07-22 04:14:54 +0000 UTCIt seems that I enjoy watching Clint do just about anything. Man, that knot looked sensational at the end too.
2019-07-22 04:01:55 +0000 UTCOf course :P I am anticipating an inordinate number of comments like this, haha. But congrats you're the first!
LGR
2019-07-22 03:34:23 +0000 UTCI was expecting your vision of "improvements" to include some woodgrain.

2019-07-22 03:30:06 +0000 UTCProbably. Probably :)
LGR
2019-07-22 03:22:21 +0000 UTCGlad ya think so 😁
LGR
2019-07-22 03:21:57 +0000 UTCHa, it's weird. If I do it too slow, it's like I forget each individual step. Really is like muscle memory.
LGR
2019-07-22 03:21:34 +0000 UTCGreat job, really like your channel. Buuuuut show the knot in slow motion. :)
2019-07-22 03:19:56 +0000 UTCThis is a great video. An LGR Framing Thing is a nice thing to watch.

2019-07-22 03:19:09 +0000 UTCSilly Clint, it’s still Sunday! I should probably go to bed. Maybe you too ;)

2019-07-22 03:18:13 +0000 UTC(Barbie voiceover) Presented to: CLINT! Congrats man. You deserve this, and then some!
