The best part is how you added the off cuts back onto the sides! It gives the table top a more custom look instead of just having the dog ears.
Agreed!
You're right! Finishes it off perfectly!
Totally, it makes a huge difference to the finished look ✨️
I would love to see a desk or table like this but made intentionally to look like an old map. Blue for water and wood for land. This table has the look but with attention to details to make it map like. A compass in the bottom corner and some lakes, rivers, islands and maybe longitude and latitude lines.
Burial wood has the look of old weathered paper and rough edges.
Looks dope as hell. Only thing I don’t like is the orange. Probably would have went with black. Black and blue almost always look good.
I was thinking that or maybe even a darker orange
I think the table looks beautiful and if they didn't even have the orange at all it would look great especially that countertop but the orange just takes away from it
Yeah makes it look like a Lego set or something
Brushed metal would be best in my opinion! its gray an catches light. makes nice gradients. and looks more professional
Especially on your mom's eye when she doesn't listen
I love that you do this for your employees and team. Like, that's what makes people want to work harder for their employers is when you can see they care about you. This isn't a pizza day or something, this is amazing :)
This desk is gorgeous. Definitely need to build Chris one now!

Shows that when you take the time to pre-vac out the bubbles, MUCH better results. Also, you trusted your people with some of the details which makes it more of a team effort. And the fact that you did it for one of your own elevates it even more. Really nice job.
The table top is the selling point. But the LED lighting really highlights it. And honestly my favorite part is the tray organizer in the drawer so that everything can stay organized and clean. Makes working much more enjoyable and easy when things are clean.
It's refreshing to see that anothr colour other than black resin is used. Too many builders stick to black. The clear fill over blue is a stunning idea, well done. Overal the colours work brialliantly. I want one......
One of your best builds by far, thank you for sharing.
So gorgeous. I love the placement of the LEDS, not to mention those magnetic panels that can be changed out at any time.
I usually don't love epoxy river stuff, but with the blue and burl, that's my favorite piece of epoxy and wood I think I've ever seen on the internet.
Yeah, this amount of epoxy usually gives me shivers and i can hear the scream of the wallet from other end of the house, but this one is pretty nice and least they didnt hide the amazing sides of the burl and lighting just works with this one. How ever i only use epoxy to enhance wood, like filling the missing parts to make it usable, so for me this amount is just excessive..
Adding the offcuts on the sides is super sick, it looks like you managed to meld the desktop into the structure with magic or something
Looks great, think Chris definitely needs his own desk. Love the magnets for the panels that's genius!
34:08 I think you hit a home run with this one guys!!! I would have liked to have seen what it would have looked like with the original color for the back board but the orange looks great. Can’t wait to see what you build for Chris
Beautiful and unique! Not only do you think outside the box, but you just repurpose the wood and make something nice out of it. Great job, John and your whole team!
This entire build is SICK!! Loving the color choices and adding the cut-offs back to finish the look.
Wow, that whole build kicks ass, I think the frame is the most underrated part. The idea to do the shallow blue epoxy pour with clear over top so you can see the burl… **chef’s kiss**
I want to see Joe get his phone out of that cubby. My beefy fingers would need some cutouts in that mdf 😂
The tig welded frame is for sure underrated!
I do think this is your best river yet. That blue with the clear on top is just gorgeous.
The way you guys pronounce NAS is wild. [Update] That came out sick, definitely your best clear pour to date!
Yup.
Yes, the table top is awesome! The orange back board is a close 2nd. Well done.
Chris definitely needs one! Nice desk, love the river table top, but hate the orange.
The table top is by far the best I've seen, the burl with that crystal clear epoxy is amazing. The way you made the frame draws my eye to the fact the angles on the side are not parallel and in my opinion the orange panels and frame would have looked better in black, small gripes on an otherwise beautiful desk. Another great piece of craftsmanship and so awesome you do this for your employees.
The worst part of any Sunday is knowing that by 10:00 a.m., I have an entire week to wait for the next video. That was an AWESOME build. And I say it every time... I love that you include the mistakes and di_king around. It makes it so much better to know even the great builders have their timeout moments. GREAT JOB, again.
I will soon have a solution for you my friend..... soon
@@John_Maleckiohhhh u big tease sounds interesting
Yes, Chris needs something to rival that awesome desk!
That thing is sick!! Table top is amazing, but my favorite part is the inlay for the drawer... So organized looking. Great work by the team, as always
I love this. The video altogether is great, the table looks awesome, and that blue is beautiful! I enjoyed seeing you ask questions during the design process to really get the entire process on video. Great work! Probably my favorite video from you in a while
good looking desk, but the metal frame reduces/eliminates the possibility of running multiple monitors. i know this because i cant use multiple on my desk due to the shelf design.
Fan-freaking-tastic!
You definitely need to build Chris a table. You can't have that ugly table throwing off the whole vibe. Great job. Great video.
Totally agree 👍
BEAUTIFUL DESK! Definitely gotta build Chris one, he does great work on the CNC BUT only if he gets his "hangnail" problem sorted out first LOL 💚🎮
1:15 Nos.whats a NOS
Nice office storage?!
Looks like a NAS to me.
Lol I laughed at that. Its pronounced like NASA....without the A on the end.
as about to comment how the way they say NAS hurts me a little xD. and I don't believe it's due to our Pittsburgeez...
yup, driving me crazy every single time they say NOS instaed of NAHHSS lol
Probably a shout to Nas, the rapper.
But yeah, "Nahs"
I've been a painter since 89. When you paint metal like that you should use automotive paint. You can get get into some super cool colors that way. P.S. I'm from Denver and I still wouldn't have put orange on that.
This is a great tip. Thank you so much, we'll get some automotive for the future!
Would love to see you testing these 10-in-1 / 15-in-1 type workshop tools. Are they really worth it compared to buying a bunch of separate tools.
Keep up the great content.
LOVE everything except the orange but whatever he is happy with! Glad he made those panels magnetic and changeable
Agree, best table you have ever built. The blue epoxy and buckeye burl are gorgeous.
You guys do incredible work. I'm in custom woodworking and never did epoxy yet. I'm thinking about getting into it, but I really don't have a shop to do so. That desk looks awesome. Keep up the entertainment and have a good year
Orange and blue is sick looking😊
Chris can get a new Desk when he reaches 100 Days hang nail free. 🤣
As an IT professional, and amateur woodworker, that table is fantatic and I can only dream of making something similar.
First comment 🤩. Looking forward to watch the video!
So much talent in one place. And fun to boot!!
Only issue I would have is doing what John is thinking. The drawer insert is such a good idea. No extra clutter!!
It got smaller. And one screen just ain’t good enough. Nice try…
Looks the same size to me, with way more storage space! There’s also definitely room for him to add a second (many a third if they’re smaller) monitor.
More than a nice try, it’s a great final product that I would definitely be inspired to work in everyday
It's just for the the Aesthetics of the video, I'm sure he put the other monitor on the table after the video was launched
Bro literally picked out the style and size himself before it was made, this is literally what he asked for
@@yitzy2159 if so, then the desk looks even smaller then it already is.
@@jacobpost5519 🤷🏻♂️ maybe smaller, but nicer😅
I have not seen your other projects. However, I understand how difficult this project was and the time it took to complete. This is a damn good-looking table, and anyone would be proud to own it. Outstanding job! I don't know about Chris, but you can build me one.
Larry from Texas
I think the the most amazing thing about this build ... is that you put so much effort into it... love the craft !
I’m a video editor and this desk is sick!!! Absolutely gorgeous!! Very functional and laid out very well! Good job!
Yup. That is pure class. Personally think the last minute change to the drawer fronts was the right choice
Gonna be honest, I wasn't 100% at a few points during the build, but the end result looks amazing.
Recently just found your channel and this video and it has showed what you're like as a craftsman and boss. The fact you went out of your way to create this masterpiece, make sure it is absolutely flawless, do all this designing and do it for free for your employee is great. The table looks absolutely awesome.
That is awesome, I absolutely love the desk. And yes, please build a desk for Chris. I'd really like to see what kind of desk he would like you to design and build for him.
As someone that spends an obscene amount of time sitting at my desk on the computer for work and play, I am very jealous right now. My desk is ok and functional but smeg me that is a sick desk. Stunning work my dude 🤗
I know nothing about shop work, but I live for the little editor clips from shows or movies! Always gives me a good giggle
Love that wood and colour together
that slotted MDF could offer a cool way to add accessories. Cut a small piece that would slide into the hole and have it rotate locking what ever hanger or shelf you add to the front..
This is great!! You can never go wrong with beers bourbon and hanging out. look forward to you hitting 1,000,000
YAY! they finally degassed it! I think you could have solved so many epoxy issues if you used it sooner. By far the coolest part is the storage space for all his stuff.
Great Looking Desk , my wife seen it and now she's making comments on howd that be great in her home office , I was saying how I'd be cool if you used the cutoffs to fill in the gaps between the metal sides of the desk , and then you did it . Very awesome job as always . Love the channel.
The look is very cool. I love epoxy blue with the wood. Really nice. Though it is very limited in space.
Desks especially desks for content creators must have space. Therefore the minimum width must be 60” with a minimum depth of 30”. Those dimensions are bare bone minimum. If the desk is that small the creator must have an auxiliary preferably rolling table with drawers preferably 18”W x 30”D to supplement the lack of space on desk. The auxiliary rolls to put away at end of day.
Ideally the desk should be 72”W x 36”D with an aux cart that’s 18”W x 36”D. This gives the creator/operator plenty of room and freedom for the work. Plenty of room for peripherals, additional monitors when needed, etc.
FYI we normally don’t use a keyboard tray. The keyboard usually sits on top of the desk. We sometimes use an 80% board with a stream deck, a separate number pad (rare), etc.
Absolutely in LOVE with the desk. I’ve always dreamed of a dining room table with wood, resin,& lights made to resemble the country of Westeros from Game of Thrones. This has that type of vibe to it. John, you hit it out of the park.
The color of the epoxy with grain of the burp wood is beautiful. Such and awesome thing to build for your employee
My partner and i are looking to start up our own bed & breakfast, and your builds inspire me to follow my desired forest theme. Your river tables and creativity are such an inspiration.
Keep up the great work.
Desk looks amazing 🔥🔥🔥
The finished touch though is to hang the monitor off the back panel instead of it sitting on the desk and maybe swap it out for a wide screen display.
I would love to see a desk or table like this but made intentionally to look like an old map. Blue for water and wood for land. This table has the look but with attention to details to make it map like. A compass in the bottom corner and some lakes, rivers, islands and maybe longitude and latitude lines.
Burial wood has the look of old weathered paper and rough edges.
If you can pull this off it would be the shit!!!
the top is amazing! it looks like a view of the earth from space.
Chris absolutely deserves a desk too...
You should totally build Chris a desk as well. But with his, make it volcanic themed to keep the river idea, but color opposite of Joe's. Also, if you feel like a challenge, take it up a notch by doing the desk aesthetics using hexagonal designs.
Looks amazing. I love how neat and tidy everything is. Especially the bits in the drawer with their cutout slots. You should definitely make one for Chris too.
One of my dreams is this, having a live edge river table for my PC desk. I love this Build!
That is possibly the best/coolest looking computer desk i have ever seen. Great job.
wow you could tell John was super pleased with the outcome/looks of the desk. well deserved looks killer
The LEDs look amazing in this, my favourite part for sure… would be even cooler with a clear tabletop and then a variable RGB LED set up.
love the burls in it this desk is wicked and could not be replicated. will be interesting to see how you guys make another desk that doesn't compete with that one for attention like they will have to be equal or it will throw everything off in there. been enjoying this channel since 2019 and it has been great to watch John grow and improve his epoxy technique.
Gotta make one for Chris now lol not just because I like watching these type of builds or anything but would be cool to see they’re differing styles!
I love it. I built a dining room table utilizing clear ontop of color epoxy.
This is an awesome desk and I know it's been a while but I'm sure he still loves it today. I've been getting myself into woodworking recently, a shop built by you or Backtail would be amazing.
Dang that's nice! I made my desk out of a slab door. My friend owns a Wrap Company and I had him print what looks like a light granite and we wrapped the door with this vinyl. I thought my desk was the coolest, until I saw this!
I really enjoyed this video. I have to say that the desk is nice but I have to say that I like the desk alone, no metal surround or the the back. Great idea to incorporate that acrylic underneath to give better light through the epoxy & the ears on the back. One thing I would change is make it a bit longer love the burl.
The sesk is fantastic! 5 built a bunch of epoxy tables and desks and i like that finish process with the polish. And of course, the buckeye burl is fantastic
I love it. The color of the blue and the type of wood definitely match. I think with the drawer font, you should have done a few pieces of that wood and epoxy to make the look that it continues to that point. I think this is one of the best ones that you have done. Awesome job gents
Cool desk! I would have done some secret storage locations for important items.....like bourbon or gold coins......maybe a thumb drive.
"MAKE IT BUTTHOLE TIGHT" Needs to be a tshirt!😅🤣🤌🤌
Instead of the orange I wish y'all went with black or dark brown or an earthy yellow-beige to match the table. It sort of looks like an industrial frame from one persons aesthetic with a custom separate table top from another persons aesthetic thrown in together. But the workmanship, tabletop, and drawers still are phenomenal.
How come you made the metal welding part seem so extremely easy? Metal frame needs a lot of sanding and coating to come out as perfect as yours did! I love it!
What an inspiring place to work. That desk is absolutely sick! The top is gorgeous, and I'm not much of an epoxy/river table guy, but that burl is beautiful. Love the orange panels. What really calms my OCD though it the organizational cutouts for all his stuff, like the keyboard, headphones, cards, etc. Really beautiful job. Thanks for taking us along.
Amazing build. But he needed more space and ended up with one less monitor hahahaha
Fantastic build this week guys. Tastefully executed and functional. Keep pumping out incredible content.
Yes, everyone needs a desk like this, with multiple monitors.
Awesome. The best part of this table is obviously the tabletop and LED lighting, there's no question about it, the second best thing- is the gadget drawer
Best table yet! Shout challenge you ever want to do something for teacher appreciation week a custom stand up teacher table would be so sick!
That is a sweet looking desk and going with orange was the right call. I also like what you did with adding the pieces back in on the sides for where you cut off for the ears. I think that just finished off the table that much more that if they would have not been added back in and it would have just been the ears in the front. It is a thing of beauty and Joe should be proud to work at such a work of art every day.
Wow, references to the A-Team? Respect for that!
One step ahead in the game isn't a plan, kid. Two to three steps ahead, beating an enemy's move before it's even made -- that's a plan!
Definitely need to build Chris one, his could be red, then you'd have a kind of game of thrones/house of the dragon feel about their office, the whole fire and ice vibe!
This is gorgeous. The craftsmanship here is just top notch. I always walk away from your videos so inspired. Adding in those offcuts to make it look like the top is even more built into the frame was a brilliant idea. I love all of it!
I don't even like the color orange yet I still would kill to have this desk.
The top is spectacular definitely the best feature of the desk. I think adding the magnets was a genius move
How did the magnet panel idea work out longer term? The magnets seemed a bit weak for panel attachment. Which is why you were able to easily slide it by hand to adjust it at 31:39. I'd have used slots/keys or some other engagement mechanism, with the magnets just to keep it in position. My guess is an accidental foot into it from under the desk would cause the panel to fall off. Still, it turned out nice.
Love how one second hes blowing himself and the next hes talking about how he stays up thinking about wood. Keep up the amazing work.
Ironically a Denver bronco themed work table in a Pittsburg office im loving it
Best build so far and also I think the first epoxy pour without bunch of drama leaks that you have had. Maybe need to use more Black Forest Epoxy as it looks super clear.
make one for each employee! looks amazing! was skeptical on the orange until done, looks like a white nerf gun now and i'm here for it.
would be cool to see each persons personality come through.
I’ll take a wood shop. Having a hard time turning half my garage into one. Plus I have a full bourbon bar with my plenty of rare bourbons for you and the crew! Bring it on!!
Great job guys! I kinda think the drawer fronts should’ve been orange too. And I also agree, he needs two monitors or one of those wide curved ones. Joe doesn’t need a new desk yet! 😂😂
I am loving the top.. I have been wanting to do one for so long.. def gotta do one for Chris!!
LET’S. GO. This is by far one of my favorite desks that y’all have made. Keep on killin it!
Very Nice, The river top is stand out. Overall design of the desk is awesome as well.
Epoxy desk is the best with the lighting. You should definitely create one for everyone.
