- How to build a floating gaming desk and setup. I finally built my self the ultimate gaming desk by making it a floating desk with RGB LED lights. Much cleaner look and way bigger then my old desk. All DIY, this computer desk biuld is made out of all wood and cost less then $100 to make. hopefully this will give you ideas on building your own floating desk.

Idk what it is man but somthing bout your voice is so relaxing its satisfying to watch
Thanks, this inspired me to make a hollow desk for cable management.
Love the flouting desk with LED lights ❤️❤️❤️
You did an awesome job! Love the lights and the high gloss look. Good luck with the channel!
Thank you so much!!
The more RGB lights you have the better you are at games 😂 I need to invest... 😂😂
Amazing, I doing one for my childrens... Looks awsome...!
Go for it!
Saw your post on Facebook in the woodworking group. Nice work!
Thanks for checking it out. I didn't think it would get that much attention lol 😆
Me too
Having a binge, i love this channel! As an apprentice carpenter, i’m taking hella notes for my own projects :)
Thank you! Lol I see that you have stumbled upon my old videos 😅
Just seen your post on reddit, this turned out awesome!
Glad you liked it!
Now you need some nice wall mounts for them monitors. And BAM.
Underrated chanel should have atleast 10000 subs u just got a sub
Thank you!
Looks awesome! Thanks for the detailed video, very helpful :)
Glad you enjoyed it. Your welcome
This desk looks amazing!!!! I need one 👌🏻 keep up the amazing work
Thank you so much!!
@@JARMade what is the name of the black satin you used
I didn't use black stain on this build
vibes
4:09 next text just roll those gaps closed with a screw driver, its to easy to sand right through that top ply. Awesome build and great edits on the sanding🤣
Desk looks awesome great work
Thank you!
Bloody awesome video man! Subscribed and wish I was this good at DIY 🙈🙈
Thank you! And do it your self and your half way there
Great video bro. One suggestion. For a nice, neat line of caul, I recommend beginners to tape off both sides of where the caulk is going to be. That way the line turns out crisp both top and bottom.
Thank you! Yes I definitely picked that up along the way lol. I was still new to this at this time lol
Saw your post in Woodworking enthusiast.. 👍👍
Just passing by here to watch, like and subscribe. Goodluck
Thank you!
nice build there
"The more rgb the better you are at games" this sent me 🤣
Nice job!
Great work. How is the desk doing so far? Sress wise I mean.
Great job
its cool but looks crooked and i wonder how it holds weight on the floating corner
Exactly... if someone were to accidentally rest on that floating corner it would pull the unit off the wall. But hey this is TH-cam believe everything you see
I liked ur desk but u can use a wall mount for ur monitors so 1- there would be less wight on the desk and 2- it will give u the floating feel even more and 3- u will end up with more space on ur desk too and btw make some cable management plz.
Please Sir can get the dimension of the desk
Excellent work!! How much weight does it hold?
I want to build a floating desk but using a metallic structure
Nice!
I cant believe you left the silicone like that man, other than that good job
I know!! This was back when I 1st started and didn't know anything lol 😆
Good work man! I’m about to do a desk build also. I planned to use white gloss rustoleum for my top and couple coats of poly. What was your solution it looks great!
I actually just used some off the shelf semi gloss white paint from lowes and matte polycrylic. 2 coats of each
Turned out great man!
does anybody know what’s the white cover? or where did he get it?
how thick is the plate
Please give details about what you have used
nice but what about cable management on top of desk ?
i love this desk! does the desk sag at all from not having support on the front side of it?
A little, I actually don't have it no more.
I subbed for a fellow R6 player! Nice desk!
Thank you! If you like R6 I think you will like the video video I made a future piece from the game in real life
@@JARMade I will be looking forward to it!
Where'd you get The RGB LED lights
I have a link in the description
What type of wood was the table top and do you know more of less what the weight was of only the top? Thanks
3/4 in baltic birch plywood and probably like 40 pounds i would assume
hmm why no joists to hold it up instead of just bolting it to the wall? Joist would hold it better and be more secure. Almost forgot, awsome job man. Looks great. Im back, u need to wallmount the monitors (and buy bigger ones and 3 of em or a G9. Also ditch the fing snowball and buy a XLR mic with a good mixer.
Funny think is I literally just got a G9 monitor a few weeks ago haha 😄
I'm subbing bcuz 618 is my BDay (I'm your 618th sub)
Thank you! Happy late birthday!
Looks neat, not sure I like the way it's attached to wall but it certainly seems the neatest way.
I kinda feel like I'd want runners under the frame too or do you think that's over kill? And it wouldn't look as nice as just a floating slab.
Definitely could use some more support but I was new to the trade so I was still learning lol 😆
@@JARMade That's fair and it's still a great job, did you ever improve on it?
What lights did you use under desk? Looks great btw!
I honestly can't remember haha but any rgb light strip on Amazon would work.
If i were to take the same idea, do you think it’d work on a wall without a corner? wouldnt be a massive desk, just big enough for a laptop, monitor and ps5. Only concern is the lag bolts being strong enough to support it
No lol the desk is too heavy definitely recommend you put it in the corner
If you were to make a floating desk without a corner, what I did was use a metal desk frame from shelfology, (which has a sleek floating look, and holds well over 150lbs when mounted correctly) and I mounted that on my wall. My desk works great with little to no issues. I would recommend that if you still want a floating desk, but aren’t sure if the wood frame would work.
Hi Jar, look good. What is the weight of everything ? And what happens if there is no retaining wall on the right side?
Oh, thats a good question! I don't know ow exactly how much this weights but I would say around 70ish pounds maybe ? And I wouldn't trust it with out a wall on the side
@@JARMade that is my issue I really like the idea but in my case I don't have right side wall to support , was thinking about putting support leg from the wall in slant to top not sure 🤔
What’s the length*height for the new desk?
Should have taped the wall as well as the desk when you caulked
Damn I knew Jesus was a carpenter but dude is pretty talented!
Thank you haha 😄
I have that desk you have from Amazon 🤣🤣
Subscribe = Better at Video games
i realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
What is the thickness of the plywood you used? I'm thinking on doing one myself :)
3/4 inch thick plywood :)
How thick is your table and how do u have a boom arm for such a thick table
table in about 4" thick in the front. but its made out of 3/4" plywood so i can attach the boom arm with no problem
@@JARMade wdym by 3/4 plywood and how can you attach the boom arm? By cutting a part of your desk? Im interested
The video will show better then I can explain lol 😆
Go to 3:47 that should help lol
Idk if its a lot to ask for but what tool/materials did you use? And how long in total did this take?
Bro whats the table width?
What is the size
Hmm about 5 feet wide and 2.5 feet deep
What paint did you use ?
Just an off the shelf paint from lowes in white.
@JAR Made
After a year since this video was posted how has the desk held up with your PC and everything else being on it? Nothing wrong?
After a year the desk has been OK lol Ithe paint has not held up as good and I did add a small leg on the corner of the desk just as precaution I didn't see any sag or movement some comments got me concerned a bit lol 😅
How did you do cable management
Honestly just ran the cables thru grommets in the desk and i have a wire basket on the under side to hold the cables . i have link to everything i used in the description
@@JARMade Thanks, Are the normal Grommets better or the rubber ones?
Honestly its personal preference. Both work
What wood did you use for the top and where can I get it?
I used 3/4 in plywood i got it a my local wood distributor but you can get it at any big box store
Thanks so much I’m actually looking to build my own floating desk for my computer once I build it
Good luck, you got this!
what type of wood?
Baltic Baltic Plywood and 2x4's
Nice build. I'm getting ready to do a floating shelf and floating desk myself. The OCD part of me when it comes to builds wouldn't let me leave the bottom exposed like that though lol. I'd feel like it wasn't quite finished.
Post some of your bottom side, regarding your build of the floating desk please! I doubt that you made any desk at all, nor any fine work underneath but please prove me wrong!
Also what camera do you use
I actually use my phone Note 10+
@@JARMade thats good quality for a phone thx im thinking of starting my own channel ans needed to know lol
can we get dimensions for the build
6' wide 2' 8" deep and 4" thick hope that helps
@@JARMade thanks
Says $100 proceeds to use expensive tools
There it is lol
Very nice build! May I offer some input on the overall video that might help with you getting more subs / views?
Sure I'm always looking for feedback
This is really cool, but why so high? Not good for ergonomics.
The top of the desk is 30 Inches from the floor
Nice desk, tho that silicone job is pretty bad
Yeah I agree lol 😆
Why does everyone speed through
Speed?
I want to do this. But isn't stability a problem without at least one L brace to the wall?
I would say yes add at least 1 L bracket but so far its holding up for me :D
Show the cable management lol
The way he designed it. This table top will sag. The structural design is flawed. Do not do this as this will fail. I cant believe ppl actually approve of this *smh*
So right. But it's you tube and its magic lol
Yeah he has no way to transfer the force of the weight laterally down the wall, need some brackets underneath. This shelf is going to start pulling away from the wall in the corner under just the weight of dude's arms over time, not even counting the weight of the crap he has on it. Dude is going to put his left hand on top of the desk to stand up one day not thinking and rip that whole freaking thing right off the wall along with all his computer stuff.
