...it's not me, and he doesn't use an Egg, but it clarified some processes for me (for instance, I've never done concrete work in my life).  Makes it look a little bit simpler... 
 
EDIT:  Hmm, that link takes you to his channel.  I found the build link, but this one is not sped-up, it's 17 minutes long:

Pretty good build. My only "criticism" is that he didn't use a hot enough torch for a true shou sugi ban style

I'm glad you clarified that this wasn't you, Botch.  I would have been really confused otherwise.

Does the torch actually need to be hotter or just throw a larger heat pattern? The Map Pro gas is pretty darn hot. Just throws a smaller flame.

I should clarify. He would have been better off using a larger torch (think weed burner). Something that will cover the board in a single, slow pass

Damn @Botch, you've been working out

Huh.  I learned a whole hell of a lot more with the longer video!  And a wood finishing technique I'd never heard of, to boot.

I have watched other videos from him and I like them. I definitely learned some things watching it. 

The cooking nerd in me immediately noticed:

1. He built the cut out way too small when he wants to upgrade to the largest pellet grill. 
2. No counter space.
