Welcome to /c/DiWHY!


DiWHY (pronounced D-I-Why) is a community to share DIY (do-it-yourself) projects that leave you questioning the meaning of purpose and practicality. Have you ever seen or attempted a DIY project that seemed like a good idea at first glance, only to realize it was a total disaster later? Share those moments here!

Enthusiastically do everything wrong, because nobody would ever watch his videos otherwise.

And ruin a perfectly good marble kitchen table in the process... priceless!

[–] Nudding 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not marble, it's laminate lol.

[–] themeatbridge 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, you can see the pattern goes all the way through the stone when he puts the tube in the hole. It's definitely not marble, but it could be granite or possibly corian. It's not an expensive countertop, maybe $1,000 worth of material.

[–] Nudding 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think it's laminate on wood, and he used strips after the fact on the interior of the hole. Hard to tell with the quick cuts and shit quality, but you might be right on the corian though. Definitely not marble lol.

That's possible, I hadn't thought of that. But also there wasn't any sawdust, it was all white powder. Any way you slice it, it's rage bait bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

In any case, it's some kind of a stone... and they're not cheap (at least where I live).
