What’s up, Cupcakes! I’m Nick, aka your Build Daddy, and this is Build Dad Build—where we mix fire, sawdust, and a little chaos to create badass projects.

I’m just a dad of twins (send whiskey!) who found his way back through DIY, woodworking, and burning things… on purpose! 🔥

After struggling with anxiety and depression, I discovered that working with my hands changed everything. This channel is here to show you that creativity is therapy—and that making stuff (and messing up along the way) is part of the fun.

If you’re into woodworking, Shou Sugi Ban, laser engraving, and one-of-a-kind builds, you’re in the right place.

So grab a drink, light the torch, and let’s make something awesome. Subscribe and join the Cupcake Army!

For those of you following along in the cheap seats.

Brain dump started at 3:55 PM
Ended 11:38 PM (short break for dinner in there. Smoked chili was amazing).

I managed to use all the ink in a new Sharpie marker and had to switch to a second.
One Legal pad was obliterated. One has one blank page left. One has about 10 left.
Realized I am out of legal pads. When ordered I found I can buy a pack in a variety of colors. Colors make my brain happy. So ordered those for next “sesh”.
When in your 50’s, shotgunning a 12 ounce Red Bull at 3:55 pm is a bad idea. I currently can’t stop vibrating and I now know what the color mauve tastes like.
I am mad I did not keep all the wadded up legal pad pages because I think it would make a ridiculous visual.
I am also realizing that I left out “chicken stuff” and “things that have to be done in the yard”.
Renting a margarita machine for my Halloween party might be harder than I thought.
I forgot to email the guy back about the chip in my windshield.

What happens next?

I sit here, in the dark, waiting to feel remotely tired (please see the section about being 50 and drinking Red Bull).

Once I get tired, I will probably sleep the majority of tomorrow. Well, hopefully. My brother is dropping his dogs off at 10am.

This kind of metal activity, while very productive and effective, is taxing on my body in a way a lot of you won’t understand.

I should write more often. I used to want to be a writer.

Tomorrow will, hopefully, be a quiet day of blissful “empty-brain-ed-ness”.

After that the making begins. Videos. Lives. Shorts.

Content dump is imminent. One of the videos will make me cry.

TL….DR

Cheers!
Nick

What do you guys think about a Live Stream where I show the shou sugi ban process from beginning to end? I get a lot of questions on why your results are different than mine And I think watching how long I spend on each part of the process will help with that.
