Episode notes
Overbuilt Garage Shelving Project
- Marco built wall-mounted shelves, overbuilt them with many screws, and left cut ends unsanded.
- He mounted boards into every stud and used three two-by-fours per shelf for extra security.
What Nanotexture Really Is
- Nanotexture is matte etched glass rather than a matte film on top of glass.
- It preserves more image quality than paperlike films while adding subtle pencil friction.
Choose Screen Finish By Use Case
- If you want best image quality and contrast, choose a glass-front iPad or OLED for media watching.
- If you want some pencil friction without much image loss, choose nanotexture instead of paperlike films.
