Opening the LGR YouTube Play Buttons (and improving them) (Patreon)

Yeah, 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.
