Idk how everyone didn't get a lot of this was a joke 😂 might've been a bit too subtle and realistic with the jabs, might need to ham it up some more lmao
Cam did a beautiful job also, thats a nice clean desktop
Exactly! 😃
@@modustrialnah… you were being a a hole and this guy gave you a way out. You are awful at joking and you’re just not that good as a actor.
For the record, my wireless charger works just fine for me 😂😂
Cause you da man!!!
😂 I feel like you got burnt 😂
You can always swap it out or a Mountain Dew holder 😄
I hope Cam wasn't feeling too bad about some of these moments here and was being a good sport, but I'm sure this was a great learning experience! Seems super fun.
Love how you show the amateur mistakes and show the remedy. All the other TH-camrs doing the pro vs amateur don't show those mistakes!
Might I suggest routing a channel in the back of the speaker holder arms, so the cords can be run down under the desk instead of up above. Looks great & good work Cam.
Yes!
My thought, too. Hidden speaker cords would be awesome to not take away from those sleek "Starship Enterprise" arms!
Same, I just commented something similar
I am going to have to vote for Cam's desk. Not because it is the superior product - your desk is freaking amazing. But because Cam stepped out of his comfort zone to start learning a new skill. For a beginner it turned out really well! And, if he keeps learning, he will be more valuable to Modustrial Maker down the road.
And tip...don't taunt Cam and refuse to let him use the CNC...he is the camera man and could make fun if you while editing a future video :P
I think the point was to limit him to more the "beginner" tools. CNC isnt beginner.
@@slowman82k8 Should have put the pro on beginner tools and the 'beginner' on "expert" tools.
@@toms2oo8 You reminded me of Jetsons Meet The Flintstones.
I like Cam's desk. It is not as simple as it looks with the way it was built. I can see he put in a lot of effort and thought behind it. Way to go Cam!
I must say, as a beginner woodworker, i do love this format, let him make mistakes and help him fix them as they are very common mistakes that everyone makes especially if they are new. And very nice not to laugh/take the piss out of that person as it can discourage them on finishing the project. Fantastic video and such great mentorship. Both of the tables look fantastic !!
I really liked seeing a beginner try, fail, get taught, fix, move on and succeed. As a more than beginner myself, it makes me feel good not to see an experienced youtuber show how he achieved amazing results by editing out most of the parts that feel simple to him but are completely unknown to me (alternating wood grain, using a jointer first, etc)
thanks, from both of us!
My favorite thing in this is the level of trust you had in Cam not editing this to make you look like an asshole.
Haha, think he likes his job though 😂
@@TheAshers999 Oh I know but it's still funny to think about
He didn't?
Well, I'm certain your desk is a lot higher quality and standard, but I prefer the lighter colors and simplicity of the amature desk... Well done :)
I like the Walnut desk. It’s warmer in color, sleek looking and classier.
So yea, I'm a fan of the Walnut, and the stands of course. No doubt those adds some "pop". But Cam's desk with it's glorious flaws is also a nice clean looking desk. Winner? Pro, but don't do the "dance of joy" (
Both of the desks turned out beautifully!
Cam gets bonus points for the Harry’s sweatshirt. Boiler up!
Wow this video was awesome. Both desks came out great. The fancy inlays made it. Please do another pro vs amateur with Cam on these little projects. Be a fun story line to see his progress.
I like Cam's. It's nice and simple, looks great and I wouldn't be scared to use it to work on.
Both desks look great! The beginner one is definitely something I would try at some point if I ever get the chance, but I only have some basic hand and power tools.
The only thing that annoys me with the pro desk is the speaker orientation. As a music guy this bugs me. If you can put some angle adjustment on it so the speakers can point directly at your ears and make a sweet spot, that would truly be a pro move for audio work and editing. Otherwise it's great for casual listening.
Both desks turned out awesome! Cam did a great job for a relative newcomer to making! Any future features on adding to the desks would be awesome! Thanks so much!
The speaker platforms did it for me. I love those. And, yes, they do resemble the sweep of the Enterprise but not the original. It reminded me of the nacelle arms of the D.
(Yes, I'm a Trekkie. I own that.)
I do love the outlet cover, though.
Cam for sure. Thankfully Cam has a great sense of humor.
Cam did great here! Good job Cam!
I think it's cam for me. I love the simplicity. Woodworking is polishing mistakes. I don't think I've ever worked on a single project where I haven't made a mistake.
I go with Cam… he is very tolerant of the patronizing approach.
Same. I watched the intro on the overview screen, no audio, just reading graphics. I kept checking if it was some third party channel that posted a mashup of older vids or something.
Yeah, some Buddy Valastro “friendly competition” vibes.
“I didn’t know you could screw that up so bad.” A jerk comment for sure. How about helping with your vast knowledge without being so patronizing?
I’m afraid that I have to agree. This shows a different side to Mike
Let’s picture an analogy for a moment. Let’s say a professional basketball player challenge a high school student to a game of 1:1. The amateur had to use one of the red playground balls, shoot from the three point line only, no layup shots allowed, no rebounding permitted, play in hiking boots, not allowed to jump etc. When the amateur didn’t make a shot or made even the slightest of errors, they would be reminded that they are not a professional and then questioned why they aren’t performing as well as the seasoned professional.
That’s what it looked like.

i hated that keyboard tray. but the rest the table looks PERFECT.
please don't do gaming video cause you fix and do DIY for your abandoned building / house please for the love for everything that is holy continue being a awesome content creator of house building
@2:23 I 100% did that when I started and had to figure out what a thickness plainer was on my own. the teaching moment here is invaluable
Pro Tip: if you have some flat sheet good that is at least as long as the board you want to plain. andhere the board to the sheet good and the plainer will copy the flatness of the sheet good onto the board that you want to flatten.
Mike, yours is gorgeous with the walnut and super cool charging plate, but... I gotta go with Cam's for simplicity, its light and bright look, clean lines, and the cute factor. (Cam's, not the desk's.) Plus... I always root for the underdog. 😁 Is he really 6'7"?! No wonder you're always filmed at a good angle! Lol! I think Cam has earned a Beginner Winner Chicken Dinner!!! 😂😂
As always beautiful art work! Your camera man did awesome to !!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Both turned out great
An awesome teaching moment ❤
Both desks look amazing
Great job cam
Dangit, Cam. My vote was for 3D printing the bezel around your jigsaw...eh...adventure
I love your work and effort in these videos. I have learned so much from you. First video I saw was the beginning of the abandoned building then I subscribed immediately. Keep it up.
Beautiful!
Two nice desks good job guys
They both turned out pretty amazing! 👏👏
very nice seeing a video with cam! This was a cute project!
Both desks came out amazing
I also go with Cam, he did pretty good for his first project!!
Another informative, entertaining video! 👏👏
What a fun episode!
They both look great
Fantastic work, guys! Both turned out fantastic! 😃
Really well done!!!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
Modustrial Gaming would be sick!
I would definitely watch.
A game to start with if you are not all for FPS, is Satisfactory, a factory building game where you can build a factory, but also rely on numbers, and calculate how much you need for what you want.
Both desks look great
Nice work💪
I like Cam's desk. On the production side of the office, his fits beautifully.
I’m loving this teaching video 😂
Love it!
Great video 😊
I'd be happy with either desk. You guys did great.
Either of the two builds I would love to own. You both did an amazing job for each of your skill sets. I think the overhead LED light bar would look better on the pine desk with less reflecting light. Enjoy your work and inspiration.
I gotta say, cameraman Cam won for me. That is mainly because I don't like dark wood and a simpler and sleeker design over all. 😆
Dark looks better in life, rather than light. On the video lift table looks better.
I love the walnut,Cam did a great job,but I have to vote for yours.
Some great desks you guy's made.
What a hard choice! I think if I were in an office I would have to go with the Pro build. But for home it's definitely Cam's. I've mentioned before how much I love pine paneling, this just seems to fit right in.
Ok if we're voting the walnut desk wins by DESIGN and build using expensive tooling. However since this is a DIY type channel, I vote for Cam's desk as it's the simple design and the least dollars on the build. Cam did an excellent job with minimal errors. The difference between a beginner woodworker and a master is the master has learned how to cover his errors.......
Both desks looks awesome. I do like the darker colours of the walnut wood more but in terms of finished product made by beginner vs pro I do think Cam deserves the win. We know you can (and do) make awesome stuff often. Cam's desk absolutely looks like a high quality, sturdy piece that people would pay handsomely to have in their home or office. To get that good of a build on the first project he was completely in charge of is incredibly impressive, especially given there were a few 'oops' moments along the way. I very much agree that the jigsaw mishap turned into a happy accident as the wood frame on the power insert looks great.
quick tip from an audio engineer here, you may want to remake the speaker mounts with a 30 degree inward angle, ideally you want the speakers pointed at your head, forming an equilateral triangle, so angling them in 30 degrees is the optimal angle for nice direct, balanced sound.
I would say that plate Cam has would look a lot cleaner if it was routed out and flush mounted, I like his more though, very simple, not a huge fan of the curves or the rounded corners when it comes to my desks. Both look amazing though, been looking for ideas for a new surface for my standing desk
I love how Cam is always representing Purdue. Boiler up!!! 🙂
love cam's desk
Both desks look awesome. However, as I get older, I have discovered that I prefer a more industrial and darker look to my furniture, so I have to go with the pro build. Not knocking what Cam made. He did a fantastic job. I also like how you turned his mistakes into learning experiences, showing him what he did wrong, and how to go about fixing it.
I would just call it mikes build. He is no pro.
Fabulous build as usual. Love mahogany.
Yours of course! But Cam’s is pretty sweet too. Pretty work on both desks.
Good job, Cam.
Great work guys. Both of you did a top notch job. I'd love to see you build the LED stand Mike. That'd be great.
Hola! 🖐Great video, I really enjoyed this one. Congrats to Cam on his first build, really good job.👏👏I would definitely like to see more of this style video where you each build the "same" project and see the results. There are many of us "beginners" that need a more down to earth approach to some of the nice projects more advance builders are making. I think that the arm for your lighting sounds like an interesting video, I would definitely watch it as well. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
Love both the builds on its own..
Nice work cam for the first time, trail and error is the way to learn right 💪
For the speaker stand i had chosen for a channel true te legs for the wires.
Love the channel ✌️😉
The moment you didn’t let Cam use the fancy machinery you lost I’m afraid lol. Cam gets my vote!
Hard to choose! I like the walnut. The project was executed nicely. Using 2x4s was very cost-effective. I prefer the size & casters of the walnut desk.
They both look nice but I like yours better because it is bigger and has more features.
Good job and congratulation on your first project Cam.
Both desks are beautiful. I always tend to root for the underdog, and that is how I'm leaning now, but the Enterprise shaped speaker holders are leaning it to the other side a little.
You made an off the cuff reference to Modustrial 'gaming'. I think that there is a huge market for upscale gaming desks and your desk would fit in perfectly. Plus, who doesn't want LED lighting?
We need more of these! 😅😊
thanks!
and just like that.... BOOM! love it! be sure to update us on those leds :)
Your desk turned out super-slick. No surprise there. Cam's is more simple, but it came out very well, especially for a first project.
this would be a sick VS type of series also educational for those at you and his wood working levels. also good way to make some cook looking stuff that isn't always the same
More of this. It's a great format. Mentor and student. Don't think I've seen any other channels doing this. I'd know if I were starting out, these are the mistakes I'd make. Great way to get across tips. Even if this was a joke, I believe the format is great.
Thanks, we had fun and will definitely do some more in the future
I think the powerstrip frame actually gives a nice bit of contrast on the desk.
Boiler up, Cam!
I’d have to go with yours but it would’ve been a touch better if you could’ve cable managed the speaker wires through their stands or routered a slot in the back of them to neatly tuck the wires so they aren’t just dangling across like that. Both look great and I wouldn’t hesitate to have either option as my own haha.
Cam’s is nice a simple.
I am always going to pick walnut as it is one of my favourite woods, but the 2X4 desk looks pretty sweet.
For most budgets the pine is fine, the walnut is beautiful but very expensive!
top class, i prefer Mike's desk but Cam's desk is fantastic too 👍
I think both desks are amazing. The Pro gets number 1 for me just because of all the additional features however I would have preferred it made out of a lighter wood.
You both made great desks. 💙 My desk consists of a fiberboard top (cut for me at Home Depot) on top of two filing cabinets. But at least the filing cabinets are matching. 😂
Love both the desks tho. My favourite is the walnut one
I'm digging this video :) Waiting for a deck renovation :)
Thanks!
It’s funny you mentioned Star Trek in reference to the speaker stands because I was going to ask why I felt like at some point I’d hear “Engage” with an “Aye, Captain” in response when I saw those stands
I don't get the whole sit-stand desk thing, just can't figure out why on earth you'd wanna stand... LOL
I love Cam's build! Despite not having much experience, he had an idea, and he went for it! That's the true spirit of DIY. Just go for it, make mistakes, learn from it, but don't stop until you've built the thing you wanted to build. I've built so many things that I hate, but I value each one 'cause I learned a lot from each of them. :)
I love your build, too! I have an arguably unhealthy obsession with walnut! It's easily the most beautiful non-exotic wood, and your execution with it here is stunning!
If you've ever had to sit on a project for 6 plus hours you'd get why at a point you just rather stand and continue working
I was with you until the keyboard trays 😂😂😂
I will go with the amateur desk. Simple, clean and economical.
I want to see a LED strip light routed into the edge though!
Great work guys.
Great video. My votes for the pro. Really enjoyed this vs format. It’s a nice touch that it’s not an overly serious competition, rather a work and learn together experience, very cool.
thank you!
I'd watch a Modustrial gaming series where you critique the quality of the furniture in the games. Excellent desks lads.
Great stuff, you're obviously better craftsman, but I personally prefer Cam's desk, because I like lighter colours and sharper edges.
Not going to lie. I think the walnut desk looks good. But I definitely like Cam’s desk better. I personally tend to prefer the simplest way to get the job done. That’s definitely Cam’s desk!
I love that ocean Wallpaper on your curved monitor. I commented on another video a long time ago that I thought a nice colorful aquarium would look nice in your home.
As for the desk I love both of them.
I actually took that photo myself :)
I used to have a saltwater aquarium years ago, but now I’ve got my hands full with Tex!
