Build a Wall Mounted Desk

- Today I built two brackets from 1x4's to be used in conjunction with an ikea desktop to make an AMAZING (subjective) wall mounted desk. A true underdog story.

Check out the 2021 Wall Mounted Desk 2.0 build HERE! ----> th-cam.com/video/OHX8Px7eVnY/w-d-xo.html
Was looking to upgrade my room with a wall mounted desk and I was excited to see this video, got a seizure in first 5 seconds.
Same here dude. That pitch black screen makes me dizzy.
He should probably edit that scene.
Peace out!
Despite the epilepsy attack-inducing cuts, this is a great simple build, i think i'm gonna follow it to make a desk for my sister.
Hahaha
I liked the genuineness of the video with flaws during work rather than taking multiple takes to make a clean flawless video just for pleasing viewers.
I like that you tried to be as entertaining as informative in making this video. Additionally, you didn’t bombard this masterpiece with stupid commercials. You show your mistakes and frustrations. I like that. My compliments on how well the piece turned out; it looks really nice. It shows you are particular about your work. I can identify with such an appreciation for details. Awesome!
👌💪🏽✅🤓👀
Came out pretty snazzy! I'm all about instant gratification too, but my stuff rarely comes out looking as good.
thanks!! don't sweat it. perhaps one day i'll post a video of my diy project wasteland...some ugly stuff hiding in the corner of my workshop!
Like the sense of humor. Keep it up. Good job.
thank you! will do!
Reload, made me laugh ;)
From the bowed boards to the drill bits falling out, you got a sub
Very good DIY, and humor, in case your head gets too big.
Built mine over a year ago. It has been the best desk I have ever had. I'm a big guy I always feel cramped with most desk.
Thanks man!
yeah man this design has unparalleled leg space! keep a look out i've got this desk 2.0 vid dropping soon!
hello man do you think this kinf of build can hold a heavy PC on it im thinking of building one but im worried that its cant hold my case up there
aaahhhh! I can't stand the blink cuts, but the project is great.
Yeah...some experiments don't always go as planned. But I had to try it, it's in my bones! Smoother futures ahead, I promise! Glad you dig the build man!
Haha, I thought it was my internet connection.. Good video though!
MrKeeDub lol! thanks for hanging in there through the blink cuts!
+DIYwithRick What's The Angle Bolt Tool Called?

Even if the result would have been a disaster, It was very fun to watch. But you did great. Both the desk itself, but also the entire video. Congrats! I am looking to build myself a desk in a corner of my apartment, to save some space.
I have the exact same problem with bits falling out of my Makita drill. Glad to know I'm not the only one who has to deal with it! Great video.
Really? I thought it was just me! Drives me crazy! Thanks Justin!
@@DIYwithRick Happens on my Greenworks drill too. It's ridiculous
Great job. simple hide,drill hole in table under monitor to run your wires , also can run your lamp wires to the middle under shelf down to hole.
Great advice robert! Thank you!
Wiping on stain with an old white shirt or at least wiping after brushing always works well for me , gets rid of dark spots and build up for a uniform finish
Great tip Paul I'll give it a try on the next one!
Reload! Had to watch that again. Keep the great videos coming.
Yes!! One of my favorite parts! Will do thanks @almagueram!
"Today we're going to make magic together"...I feel uncomfortable yet intrigued
Very nice project and fun to watch. Loved the audio drop when the bit fell for the second time haha
Thank you! Always fun emphasizing my mistakes and mishaps...
Half way through the vedio and I felt "Daaaam this guy has humor... Where's the subscribe button!!!?""
I love that u didn't edit out the blunders hahaha, it shows how real things really are. Great job man
blunders? what blunders?! hahah
@@DIYwithRick Marketing strategy.... hahah, Wiseman.
Your stain went on dark because you didn't use a wood conditioner prior to staining. The conditioner soaks in first and prevents the stain from penetrating too deep in to the wood. The conditioner allows for an even application of stain.
Thanks for the info David. Quick question while I have you...if I use Minwax wood hardener, can I then use the pre-stain conditioner and then stain? Will the pre-stain conditioner still be effective?
+DIYwithRick Hey Rick. The wood hardner is generally used with very old and even rotting wood. This type of wood also through age, decay or rot becomes very porous. Porous wood does not stain well. The hardner works by soaking into the wood and solidifying as a resin. This will also impact how the wood absorbs stain. You are going in to semi uncharted teritory hard and these situations should be handled case by case. You always want to do a test on a small area first. If the stain takes well after the hardner then great. If blotchy still then apply the conditioner and repeat test. You have a lot a variables here. old wood, hardner, conditioner, all before you even apply stain. Let me know how it turns out. Just remember to use the hardner first not the conditioner.
This video was excellent.
Verry nice work & job.
Very nice doable project by any DIY. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it!
Paint the white caps with stain and also your cable conduit with the wall paint if you don't want to run it through the wall
...your wife's pregnancy gown... I died here! Thanks so much for this! I've been searching and searching for something that will fit the look I'm going for!
Nice project. I noticed you have the same Ryobi miter saw that I do.....except I don't have those nice tubular extension arms. Got the holes they go into...but no arms. Would have been nice......
Love the way he explains everything And he's handsome with a nice sense of humor. Nice video
:) thanks alma!
also, Mount power strip underside of tabletop, Thanks for the video, really clean job
Loved the Time Crisis sound clip
yes!!
Man I love seeing these videos *_*
Thanks Justin, appreciate it man!
I have a similar Makita. Does the same thing.
what a nice shape. shelf looks great, too.
top 3 diy channels dude, awesome video keep it up! get that money!
hah thanks anthony!
great idea. i also think if you get a portable lamp like a lumiy lightline or lightblade it would also make the space bright and usable day or night
HI, I am an Asian subscriber of your channel, and I like your vedio very much, and the idea of your work as well. Simple, but trendy, great job.
Congratulations very well loved your video and your project, continue we need people like you online, which has a sense of humor, very well
Thank you!
Welcome it is pleasure all my
Great idea and looks really good. Though I would of cut a gap at the back of the table and/or cut a circle hole into the desk to feed the power cables through and drilled the power strip in the the table. The cable trunks don't look good.
Good job Rick! Looks real nice in the room!
It came out better than a Green Day song, just love this.
awesome dude
Love the reload comment!
haha! I'm a big fan of your channel David! Your "how to make drawers" videos helped me out A LOT for my dresser build! Thanks for stopping by.

Awesome desk man
thank you!
*Teds Woodworkingggg 16,000 Plansssss >>>**easywoodworkinggprojects.blogspot.gr** >>>*
Looks good!!!
thanks hector!
Let’s say I make the same brackets with 2x4s or 4x4s and mount them to the studs in the wall. Can I then run a pipe across and use it as a pull-up bar? Can it hold 300+ pounds swinging on it? Thanks.
High production value, Rick! keep it up!
Thanks Omar! I'll do my best!
You can build a small wooden box to cover all the cord mess that's next to such a well decorated workspace.
Looks awesome!
Looking good, sir!
Thanks Carter!
Precioso proyecto... Me gusto mucho. Saludos desde Mexico
really dig that desk! Nice job.
Thanks Jeff!
What is the office paint color and brand?
Hi just curious have u ever test the amount of weight or, a guesstimate on how much weight you can put on the table before this bracket starts to give or signs of about to give?
you look SO much like Travis Alexander (Jodi Arias)
also, this turned out so well. thanks for sharing !
Wow, looks really nice! Awesome job.
DIYwithRick do you have the plan for this?
Hey poor gamer I've got the material purchase & cut list on my site: diywithrick.com/2016/06/14/build-wall-mounted-desk/
I'll likely do a written guide once I get a free minute.
Many thanks, I have been researching "make a furniture" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Venoffison Wooden Exploration - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.
i wish the plan was up
Great project!!! Nice job on the video production!!!
Not a huge fan of pocketholes when it comes to maximum strength, but the desk looks nice enough. You really need to sort out that cable ducting though, I'm sure you can come up with a more aesthetic solution.
nice work
thanks!
Nice looking desk.
Thanks Bruce!
For your wood Stainer.. it went on dark because you applied it wrong. For lighter Tones.. you use a sponge and spread it in a lthin layers and keep wiping til it lightens up. Then coat it in a liqueur spray .
Cool video. You've given me some great ideas for projects and I'm looking forward to more.
thanks dave!
The only thing I didn`t was the cable management. But any way looks great. Good Job!
Yeah I mounted the desk and wanted to get the video up so I didn't finish up the CM. Thanks Alessandro!
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the cable hider things on the same level as the desk to actually hide it?
I like the build for sure. Can I suggest that you look more at the camera than off to the side? Maybe I'm weird but it looks funny.
lol! Still getting used to being on camera...it will get better!
Makita chucks suck mine always let go. And my new drills with over load protection are now useless when a little pressure is applied
yeah it bummed me out I really like them otherwise!
Hi! Can u put centimeters measures? Please :) Here (in my country) we don't use inches.
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
lmao really?
this is awesome! I'm definitely going to build this in my office.
Really enjoy your videos, keep em coming.
Thanks Matthew much appreciated man!
I agree with the idea of notching out a place for the cables in the back of the tabletop and attaching the power strip under with. One question; what type of table top is that?
Hey jason i've got the table top & material list here: diywithrick.com/2016/06/14/build-wall-mounted-desk/
Nice work, I'm useless at anything practical like this - but I enjoyed watching your skills. Subscribed.
Thanks rzlosty! Give it a shot sometime, you'd be surprised what you're capable of!
I’m pretty sure, I just fell in love ❤
That's so cool I want a desk like that
Build it!!
It's so beautiful. I love it!
thanks igor!
"heres an overview of the material I'll be using"
*Uses skillsaw*
Dope desk but cable management killed everything.
Ronnie Dai Any good advice for managing cables better?
How much weight do you think it can support? Just curious, want to make one
is it possible to edit this so it becomes height adjustable?
Nice brother👌
L'm from algeria 🇩🇿
love the tape measure
it's my favorite!
please! song in the end??
carpenter asked for $210 to build such like this desk do you have any idea about the cost
BRAVO!
Nice work here! Is this desk strong and reliable? Roughly how much weight can be put on here?
I'm not sure how much weight the desk can handle. Lets call it medium duty (as opposed to light and heavy). The brackets are mounted in 2 different studs with (4) 3" bolts. I'd say it's just fine for average, everyday use. I wouldn't sleep or store free weights on it though!
Cheers for that, I plan on making this over the summer and was interested as to how it would hold up
Yeah I think it should hold up fairly well! When you end up building it let me know how it goes or if you run into any snags!
Presents less than half of the building process, gets over one million views.
Since he was assembled, is the office still so straight? or is it affessed? I am going to make a desk in 1600 / 600mm maple wood, but I wonder if its going to hold with three square of 450 / 600mm.
Aaaah.... My Eyes!!!
Wow Greattt!!!... am gonna make this right now!!!.. Thanks mate
@DIYwithRick what load can these brackets support?
What is the name of that wood plz tell me
nice work - suggestion: would look good with some dowel rod wood plugs in the screw holes instead of those plastic ones.
Great suggestion Philip! Thank you! I'll check those dowel wood plugs out and give them a try.
Simple and elegant work. Whats the song at the end?
thanks! I believe it's dark knight by andrew applepie
the reason your 90° pieces aren't 90° isn't the wood. it's your saw. it's not cutting at 0°. it's off a degree or 2. the reason 1 board is over 90 and the other is under 90 is because one of the boards are flipped over. not a big deal it's just how it goes when your chopsaw isn't making perfect cuts. that particular problem has nothing the do with the board.
hey wayd thanks for your comment. you're right! it's been a few months since this build but on my next few projects I realized exactly what you said...my chop saw was about 1 degree off! I appreciate you taking the time to diagnose the issue!
Please tell me the name of plant
Please let me know asap🙏
I am a bit confused, I even pulled out my middle school math book and calculated out the middle piece length for my project. The inch to cm conversion is not helping either. But your project looks good!
Thanks! Did you check out the cut sizes here: diywithrick.com/2016/06/14/build-wall-mounted-desk/ ? Looks like 24 inches to cm = 60.96 or 61cm. As long as you cut each side of the supports to 45 degrees you should be fine!
I must get some tools. Thanks for video.
what's the white desk size measurement?
Think two 1x4s would support a 2x6 melamine too? (With a 2x4) running along the back for support...
Also would 1x3 ceder work?
how heavy can it handle?
this also could be a wall desk with few minor adjustments
