The Nine Day Deadline

Your time is still running out. Nine days until New Year’s. That’s 216 hours.

Around 72 you’ll sleep through. The rest is all you have left to shape

the year. Furniture maker Daniel Ruiz set a nine day deadline. One custom wooden

desk. Built from raw boards to a finished piece. He did everything

himself. Design. Cutting. Sanding. Assembly.

Finish. No shortcuts. No waiting. Day nine, the desk was

delivered. Paid in full. A real object standing in someone’s home.

From raw material to use. You have the same nine days. Build something real.
