Making My Dream Desk

- In this video I build two drawer units as a base for my desk in a mid century modern feel using some salvaged timber that had a woodworm problem, some nice sapele boards and some birch plywood for my DIY dream desk build.

Please, please, PLEASE make something for your cat! He deserves it.
What an awesome desk-the drawer units and the top!
Nice work. Norm Abraham would be proud of you!!
Your wife should be happy with her new desk!
Keith, this is a very informative video. I love the way you don't edit out 'issues', because that helps all of us see where a problem can occur. Regarding the tear-out you mention at 2:54, if you had marked the line of the cut and then scored it with a Stanley knife (just through the surface veneer), would that have solved the tear-out problem? I love the way the 'perfectionist in you' made you fill in the router cut :) I like the way the joinery came together so well. All in all, I think this is shaping up to be one of the best builds, perhaps the best build, you've ever done.
thank you Mike. Yes scoring would be a good idea, but a lot of hassle compared to just gluing the legs on over the edge
Looking very official Keith. The mixture of timber makes it stand out really nicely mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Can’t wait to see the finished product 💚
This desk is going to be a nice piece of furniture Keith and great video as well.
cheers Paul
That turned out great, love the way you did the legs.
They're looking very fancy indeed!
Top job as always Keith 👏👍
Love the reconstruction haha 😂
Cracking design for the drawer units bud. Good job.
Thanks, means a lot coming from you bud
Excited to see the finished project !!
Its coming together Keith.Really will look something.I like how you incorporate different wood types and spraying a finish instead of a brush finish gives it a bit of class.Looking forward to seeing the 3rd video with you installing.
Thank you!
Love the contrast between the sepelie (sp) and birch.
Looking fab Rag n Bone. I agree - these are looking really good!
Looking really good Keith 👍👍👍
Fantastic design and craftsmanship ⭐
Love those drawer fronts!!
They turned our really nice 👌🏾👍🏾💙
You should get in touch with some builders because our previous builders had lots of old oak cladding and sleepers which they were going to skip. We’ve used it all up now for various builds
Great Job Keith. Looks really good. I think the wood might be Teak. But I can see only so much on video.
When it's done it's going to look sweet, nice build.👍
Thanks 👍
I think this is the nicest thing youve made imo. Really expertly done, beautiful?
thank you
Looks great Keith. You are one of the creators that make me try to make more complicated wood working projects.
I’d be chuffed too! Good golly that looks amazing!
Keith, Another great build and fine piece of story-telling. Always enjoyable! BTW, you're "mystery hardwood" and plywood faces both look a lot like Lauan ("lah-wahn"), also known as Meranti and/or Philippine Mahogany (only for the color). Those names are used loosely for a handful of species, but they're commonly used for plywood face veneers and general-purpose lumber (crating, etc.) here in the States.
Looks good, maybe wax the hanging rail tops for a bit of extra glide
Really nice job. Thanks for sharing this, some great ideas, techniques and tips. Very helpful and interesting. 👍
Oh, it is beautiful! Such skill.
Looks great! A job to be proud of!
Enjoyed the build Keith. Very 1960's retro looking with the square design and contrasting timbers, the spray varnish finish brought it to life. Tony
thanks so much Tony
You're best work so far mate stunning work👍👍👍👍👍
Its looking very nice... realy enjoy the videos and the work. Congratts.
You’re very talented. Nice video. Thank you.
They look really smart!
Well done! Nice fixes on the fly!
Love this desk so far -- good look.
Haha! First one! Wow, that sapele really pops. Looking forward to seeing it all put together. Lovely work. Thanks Keith.
Thanks Mandy!
I love the design of the drawer units. They are beautiful.
Thanks for the video.
That's going to be a nice desk!
Thanks Andy
Some of your finest and most stylish work yet.
Lovely contrast between legs and carcasses. Great desk this is going to be.
Those drawer units look really beautiful. Well done.
One of my subscribers told me about you mate. Cool channel, not sure how I haven't seen it before. Subscribed ✅
Great work on the desk Keith! Thank you for sharing the videos with us!💖👍😎JP
I recently made a sapeli and hard maple cutting board. It turned out amazing.
I am finishing my first drawer cabinet with metal drawer slides and I am jealous; yours look so much better 🙂
Wow you are so talented Keith. A master of woodworking.
Thank you! Definitely not a master though !
Beautiful!
Those look great!
Beautiful !!
Looks amazing as expected, Keith!
It's looking awesome.
Contrasting wood 👍. Outstanding design. Having spent an excessive amount of time and energy salvaging redwood lumber to rebuild a fence, I’ve decided keeping it out of a landfill and saving money are the real benefits. Time for another gallon of Copper Green.
Mate I think this is going to be your best build yet, very classy. Loads of nice wood and joinery just looks so nice.
Thanks mate!
4:33 Good choice for this application, since it'll be hidden, but where the edge of the backer was more visible, one method I've used to minimize the protruding backer was to use a bevel bit on the router. The eyeline goes past the edge of the side piece without seeing the backer in all angles except where the person is standing to the side of the piece near the wall.
Good tip!
Lovely job 👍
looking good!!! thanks so much for the video!
Keith your attention to detail is incredible. The accuracy of build and seemingly effortless construction technique you employ is a joy to behold. Excellent mate. Can’t wait to see the finished article.
thank you David
Super job, looks great 👍🏼
Thank you! 👍
Nice. Looks great.
Thanks! Really enjoy your videos! Inspiring!
Looks really good, if you didn't tell us about tear out mistake no one would have known. Really appreciate the honesty shows we all makes mistakes great job 👍
This is one of my favourite series of yours, looking forward to the next video. Thanks
thank you!
Mate, the three sections you have made so far are brilliant. So looking forward to seeing the finished desk. Thank you for the videos.
Nice job!
Hello Keith my favourite bit of this vid was the uprights that you made. As ever your content is brilliant. And those drawer units look the dogs.
Thank you
Great video. I like to cut my back in before assembly either with a router or the table saw.
Thanks 👍
Those drawer boxes/legs look so sweet, contrast between sapele and birch ply lift it up and you pull up wood grains both on sapele and ply like you made them from special wood delivery and not from offcuts and ply from Marketplace. Great job! Apropo that router tear up, we're just human, we all make mistakes, you're just honest and show them, some others cut them out from final video.
Excellent
Good job!
Always love seeing Dylan!! Looking forward to seeing the completed desk too!
I love the table leg joints and jig. Genius idea and brilliantly executed 👍
it's starting to look like a piece of art
I look forward to seeing the final result
Seriously beautiful drawer units there! Top work!
The units are looking very nice, well done!
That combination of dark hardwood with light coloured plywood looks absolutely beautiful Keith! I really like the mid-century feel of those drawer units. I'm currently making three desks for a client myself and - as a beginner - i'm pleased to see that my design is quite comparable with yours. That gives me confidence!
Keep up the good work. I'm very curious to what the desk is going to look like when it's completely assembled!
Nice job
Hello Keith! The desk is coming along beautifully, I can understand why you are so happy with it! I've noticed how you have really developed your patience level over the last year. You are taking more time for details and not just trying to get the job done, it really shows in the end results. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
Great job!!! Love the design, and the way you tackles mistakes a long the build-up, because you are showing how to handle them, thanks!
Definitely some of your best cabinet-making work Keith. The saddle joints and placement of the leg frames are beautiful design choices. I'm eager to see where you go with the next stage.
Thank you very much!
Good save on the router tear out, Keith. I couldn’t see that after the glue up. I’ve done the same myself a couple of times. Those drawer units are looking lovely with the finish on.
thank you Paul!
I have to agree with you that sapele is one of my favorite species of wood too. As soon as the finish hits it, pops like no other. Love the design so far, can’t wait to see it all together!
It's looking great so far. I love those little finishing touches that really make it stand out.
Cheers!
I can already tell this is going to be one amazing looking desk
brilliant work
thank you Matt
It's coming along quite nicely, Keith! Seems to me one can actually hear it in your voice how much you are liking this build!
It looks superb, Keith and well done on those sadle joints and mitres - you can't beat a well planned and built jig, its just makes a world of difference to the construction.
Looking great! Love that sapele wood - so pretty.
Cheers Tim, yeah it's lovely isn't it ... I need to buy some more!
absolutely fantastic Keith!
I tend to cut the rebate on the table saw before assembly as the router can easily jump and ruin a piece.
Cannot wait to see the end result.
Cheers! Yes that would have been a good idea
Really enjoying this desk series. And loving the use of different woods. Also, really great to see your confidence in your work growing as well as your confidence talking to the camera! I rewatched a couple of older vids recently to review for an upcoming project and it’s awesome to see how far the channel has come!
Thank you very much!
Looks fantastic, I'm just in the process of building my new workshop and thinking of starting a TH-cam channel so it's great to see another brit with a woodworking channel its such an inspiration 👍
Best of luck!
They are some mighty fine looking drawers, the finish on them really brought them to life! For years my parents had 1980's style sapele veneered doors in their house, didn't look anywhere near as nice as that sapele though!
Cheers James!
Looking good, can't wait for the final reveal. Also I'm in the UK and find great difficulty in getting a supply of goods hardwood. Yes I know of a few places but unless you want to travel a long way they are well spaced down south. Maybe your next TH-cam?

Thanks, opens the way for lots of sources👍
I have been watching your woodwork channel for a number of years now. I always enjoy your videos. I can really see how your skills have progressed in this video. I hope I can match your precision on those mitre joints then next time I have to cut some. The desk is looking great with some good design ideas. One suggestion, next time, cut your rebates on your table saw before making your cabinets . That is what I have seen the Americans do a lot of the time. (I have to be honest I have not tried this myself, but it seems to make sense so I will have to try it out).
Anyway, cracking job. I am looking forward to seeing the finished article.
Cheers Keith I’ve just ordered from ITS and used your code , great video also 👍
thank you!
look nice
I love the design you’ve gone with, and the colors look amazing! I’m excited to see the next part
