I don't know how many custom desk videos I have watched at this point, but this to me fits close to all of the criteria I am looking for in a desk and I really like the final product. Great job sir!
Thank you so much! 😁
That's a slick desk! ...I like the printer draw, great idea!
Beautiful desk!! I love how it turned out. I will be building a new computer desk for myself very soon and I'm really liking the style of this desk. Simple, but elegant. New sub!
Thank you! So glad you like it! Good luck with your desk build, let me know how it turns out
Thanks! Will do.
@@dirtybaywoodshop-joeporter5650 how did it turn out?
Thanks for sharing your creativity and the passion to design things from scratch. It looks amazing
Thank you so much!
I've been watching several different videos of people making their own desks and this is both my favorite video and desk by significant margin.
Thank you so much!! 😁
I’m no handy lady; but I’m shocked that I actually sat down and watched this entire video... and enjoyed it.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Please don't called yourself an idiot you are very talented. Just a reminder.
What a nice desk and great job!! The amount of hard work = an excellent desk.
Thanks!!
This is how my first desk is going to look like. Thanks for sharing such an amazing craft.
You can make a long ripping jig for your circular saw, saves time planing the board and that straight edge is safe for the table saw. fence. Of course ignore this if you bought a jointer already.
Wonderful editing, great woodworking knowledge, 22mins flew by fast.!
Thank you! I have a longer zero clearance circular saw jig, I should have thought about that!
This video deserves to hit 1M views. That's pretty dope work man
do you mean "this video deserves to be watched for more people" - why?
950k. It’s getting there
Why should people watch ? does everybody got to like it?
Ur wish completed after 2years
This is a fun video, you are a character, great sense of humor.
Excellent editing.
Beautiful table top and fantastic drawer combination.
Nice.
Thank you!!
Awesome work. Really refreshing to see top notch work completed by somebody with a responsible amount of tools.
Thanks! I'd love to have an irresponsible amount of tools though
DFR Workshop oh, I would like an irresponsible amount of tools as well. I meant to say a reasonable amount. Nice to watch a video where something beautiful is being made without 10,000 in tools.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great build, lots of little tricks along the way that demonstrate your woodworking knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
perfeito. ficou um trabalho de alto grau de acabamento!
This is great and you deserve at lease 1000x more views. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I really appreciate it! Keep your eyes open, another video is coming out real soon
Dude,that is eff'n sweet! Great job and beautiful to boot,brother!
Thank you!!
Excellent work. Really nice design. I like how utilized your tools. Thanks for posting.
That offset is really cool. I like all the contrast too. Hey wow you have my square. Haven't seen anyone else with that one. That's really cool man nice job.
Thank you so much!
Great job my friend!
I love where you put printer.
Beautiful high quality finish, wish I could paint that fast! 😉

Excellent job! I'm gonna do one for me, but the top will be temp glass and the 2 first drawers will be used as my computer case =)
Thank you! Have fun with your build, and good luck!
Beautiful and elegant design
Thank you!!
wonderful
Amazing editing, worth of many more subscribers!!
I'm a new one !!
Thank you very much!!
Beautiful job! The attention to detail is amazing. Not many would fill the pores with epoxy, nicely done. :-)
Thank you! I knew after my first time using white oak that I'd have to fill the pores to get it as smooth as we wanted.
@@DFRWorkshop I've been on a tool-restoration / woodworking video binge over the past few days. Can I ask why you went with epoxy? Were you mainly trying to get a clear finish where you could see all the knots in the wood, or were you just trying to fill in the holes so it would have a nice and regular texture when people ran their hands or equipment over it?
I've seen in some videos that you can mix sawdust and stuff like epoxy to get a makeshift wood fill to fill in small gaps and seams. The problem that sometimes happens with this is that the different hardness of the resulting materials makes them sand down unevenly. They also might get different results if you put stain or some other "make it look nice" liquid on them at the end. The solution I've seen in at least one video is to mix the sawdust with something like wood glue, which would avoid some of the earlier stated problems that might happen with epoxy.
(I don't know a lot about the various liquids used in woodworking, and I don't know where to start learning. A suggestion for where I might find a breakdown would be appreciated.)
Putting the printer inside a drawer is also a brilliant idea. They always seem to get so dusty when they're left out in the open.
Congratulations on the beautiful office that stayed. Fantastic. What is your chair model?
Very good. Very wonderful.
nice work, tools and music, a good video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Great work, Awesome
Head phone stand 😍😍
Amazing work! I made a similar desk and installing the drawer slides was a pain. I bought bottom european slides cause they were cheaper and that was a mistake, ended up buying ball bearing which were much better and easier to install
Thank you! Yeah, I try to avoid those drawer slides, and I'd go so far as to use cheaper material if it meant not having to deal with those!
Subscribed, that design is awesome
Thank you!
Good job 👍
Looks nice! And so does that Evan And Katelyn shirt you had on!
Haha yes it does! Thanks!
Love this design . Great skill . You are doing a good job . I'm from Viet Nam
So clever..many thanks 😊🙏
Thank you!!
Awesome video. Impressive clamp and jig game.
Thanks you!
Beautiful desk.
Thank you!
Great craftsmanship!
Thank you!!
Thanks!
Someone please give a healing potion to his camera :(
Keep up the good work, man
Thank you!
What a cool project
Thank you!
Loved the whole build, but your video might be the first time I've seen pores filled. I love that idea!
Thank you! I'd recommend doing it with any open-pored wood for that silky smooth look
Wow thats so simple. Ill get to it right away with my money to the furniture shop.
Wow i want one!!!
Esse cara e foda nos móveis 💪
Love the work, the attention to detail, and the craftsmanship. Now... to replace those monitors... the only thing holding you back. Lol.
Thank you! Lol yeah, that was the first upgrade to come after I was done, went with an ultrawide!
great works!
Thank you so much!
Very good explanation and beautiful desk...
Thank you so much!
This is cool. I don’t know if I know if I want to dish out the money for hardwood but I’m thinking about making a desktop out of pine and putting it on top of some sit stand desk legs.
Going with hardwood is definitely expensive but it has a lot of benefits over pine or veneer. The main being that it's sturdy as can be and its very resilient to damage. I do have some furniture I built put of pine that has lasted several years of minor abuse that has lasted just a long though. Good luck with your build!
Awesome job !
Thank you!
Beautiful desk. you should do more woodworking vids. question:did you only use 2 clamps to do the glue up for the top piece?
Working on a couple more actually, but they're slow-going. No, I actually used 8 clamps, four long ones across and and a couple cauls on the sides. So long as there's a good seem with even glue squeeze-out you'll get a good glue up
Very good work. I will greet you from Egypt
Thank you so much!
Outstanding! You got a new sub!
Really nice for a first video I wish mine was as nice as that it's a really nice video in general actually👍
Thanks! It was fun to make!
you are talented! Nice work.
Thank you so much!
this is some amazing work..... I have a question , how do you attach the top on leg ?is it stable?
Thank you! I attached the leg using some pretty large wood screws with washers. You can kinda see them at 10:55. It's been very sturdy!
Good for you
Very Nice!
Good Job!
great vid man!
Thank you!
Thanks for spreading your glue out
