I don't even care if there's a single drum in your videos I can watch and listen to you talk for hours about anything you did in your house that was useful
Not only your a good fantastic drummer but your a handyman too. Good job dave. I remember when you were at 5k subs. Man that was a long time ago. I remember your old place with the secret room or space in your old studio. That was rdavidr og days.
Glued, screwed, and tattooed! Always interesting to see other approaches to the same problem - I just finished building a studio desk and tried to make a point of using as few fasteners as possible and keeping it lightweight enough to haul up and down the stairs to my apartment. I guess when you have a ground floor woodshop, different problems come into focus. Nice build!
New Yankee Workshop (without the Nantucket accent). Between your killer drum, recording, photography, and woodworking skills, I'm surprised Create or PBS hasn't picked you up yet. Love your stuff!
TH-cam has such a need for videos like these, even as a montage there's not many build vids for studio desks like this. Great job!! Ballpark guessing, how much would you say the materials list was for this?

looking for some insperation and guidence for a new desk at work and boom not only an awesome desk but you actually made pdf plans aswell, gotta make some time to build this now
Nice desk, I am planning to build one for myself. I like the torsion box idea and use of plywood. Not sure about the mayo, that would be mess in my hands. Thanks for making this video, it's very helpful for small DIY people like me.
Dave, is it bulletproof?:) Ok, seriously, roughly, how cheaper this desk would be if compared with pre-ordered somwhere? Yo, people!!! This man deserves more likes!!! So be those who pressed that damn thumbs-up button.
I'll be dmned. This is almost exactly the design I just completed. Not quite as umm heavy as this but similar in that it is a 3 piece modular design. I handled the upper issues with a wall mounted shelf 19" above the 29" desk height. A keyboard on the desktop is still a bit higher than a resting piano keyboard but its hard to go any lower and still have decent leg clearance. Nice job!.
I have the 18i20 from Focusrite. They steered you right. also great desk, looks super solid but super heavy. I did a real solid one with equipment racks as well. tore it down when i moved.
finally stumbled across this channel of yours and this video just gave me an idea for a video editing workstation (3 VCR's,2 or 3 Monitors,and 1 CRT TV plus RF modulator) with a rather beasty PC to boot. all running Movie Maker,and Open Shot Video Editor.
I'm making a desk like yours but made out of an old solid wood door, its sitting on large cardboard boxes at the moment but I'll make the base at some point.
next time i would suggest putting mineral wool or other acoustically damping material in the gaps of the torsion box. this prevents it from being a big resonance chamber, which is important when you plan on mixing with monitor speakers on the desk.
A birch plywood 4x8 is 70 lbs. So this is a ~ 400lbs+ beast :O... You look built but you will need help moving that lol. Can't wait to see how you make it pretty.
Looking absolutely fantastic, man. I'm still trying to figure out how I want the stand for the screen and rack for the interfaces to be in my place. Been testing a little bit, and I fear if I do it the way I was first thinking, my neck will hate me for slightly looking upwards at the monitor. Hmm, we'll see.
Good job on the desk, Some additions were not needed, they ended up making the desk just to heavy. for example I would have just used fillers to cover up some of the holes but that's my opinion, still a solid beast.
This is the best desk I've seen for a DIY desk and I love the plans! Thanks for that! One correction for your plans though...the hutch top is 63 and 3/8", not 68 and 3/8's. I measured it about a dozen different ways and can't figure out how you came to 68. Maybe misreading a hastily hand-written "63" on a note? That or I'm missing 5" somewhere in the drawings.
I totally understand why you did it. There are no desks like this commercially available, and if there were, it would be in the $10,000 range. Can you tell me the method you used to mark the exact center line of all the ribs in the top section?
the size of your desk is amazing! I wish I had that much space at my house :D But the screens are way too high... if find that always so uncomfortable to work on desks with screens that high up... But that is obviously a very personal choice :)
Dude so I bought a drum set from this dude and it came with a Sabian thin crash and another Sabian crash and then a camber hi hat and came with stands then I got CB toms and kick drum and floor tom and a PDP kick pedal and a new pack of sound percussion 5B sticks, guess how much I played for it
I would have left a lip of 2-3 inches all around table top to extrude from the bench so you could clamp mic boom arm bases or anything that needs clamping. I built my electronics lab bench in a very similar way and i can't clamp nothing on it.
Maybe a silly question........maybe. Is resonance a concern with that top? Not criticizing, a legitimate question. As always, outstanding work. I am a DIY guy too and appreciate your work and attention to detail!

Simple and sweet just what I have been looking for to base my computer desk on.
Love those classic rdavidr backing tracks, like you used in your super early vids. Gives the content such a chill, fun vibe
With whatever you do, one cannot expect anything other than perfection.
That's cool, but can you figure out the instructions for an Ikea desk?
probably not tbh....
All you need for the sturdiness of an IKEA desk is a couple of 2/4s and some Elmer's glue 👍
Offsetting the rails with a piece of ply screwed on during install is brilliant.
That's a solid desk! ...built to an apocalyptic standard! Love the music too!
Not only your a good fantastic drummer but your a handyman too. Good job dave. I remember when you were at 5k subs. Man that was a long time ago. I remember your old place with the secret room or space in your old studio. That was rdavidr og days.

it will be in the next! stay tuned!

Ballpark guessing, how much would you say the materials list was for this?
$300ish you could use different plywood though thats cheaper
@@rdavidr It looks like you used 5/8 or 3/4. What would you recommend? Also, what's your reasoning for using plywood as a finish rather than MDF?
@@JohnLaco Plywood will stand up to moisture and wear and tear infinitely better than MDF.
Dude the focusrite is a winner, the octo pre as an addition is super nice too for the larger set ups.
This desk is one of the best if seen from a drummer. It looks really good
That pocket hole jig is cool. I was building cymbal boxes and I used that jig. It’s strong af
Damn, being this skilled and handy must rule so hard.

Nice build man! You should think about something like a walnut veneer for that beast.
I love Sweetwater
Awesome desk!
Jesus, that thing is going to be sturdy AF!!
Hells yeah Brazilian Love Affair playing from the get go
That thing is a tank, nicely done. I only wish the video was longer D:
Wait till I install it!

Thanks!

Very nice work!
Quality over quantity

Weidrest drum set build ever!!
Nice job tho...
Any update on the finished product? Not sure why this was in my recommend, but I enjoyed it
just finished installing it, video in the works!
Pocket hole beast of a desk!
Doing this in 2021 will be too expensive. Wait until plywood prices drop. Who knows if they will.
Im just about to do the same. Love a good desk
Loving those stickers
Really good desk
thanks!
rdavidr no probs
Good job on the desk, Some additions were not needed, they ended up making the desk just to heavy. for example I would have just used fillers to cover up some of the holes but that's my opinion, still a solid beast.
If your desk isn’t rated to withstand an EF-3+ is it really a desk?
That desk could serve as a tornado and bomb shelter. It's probably stronger than the house. Good job.
This desk is doubled up more then Oreos dope desk
Quite excellent
That's a dream desk!!
Try to make your Rogers floortom beautiful again on the outside
Awesome build!

4:19 is perfect

Needs more pocket holes.....lol. Nice desk rdavidr. I hope you tell us the total weight of this bad boy.
Bomshelter desk haha looks good.

I was wondering that too. I might fill it with foam when I move it in place.
I LOVE FLORA!!!
David are you gonna sell or give away any of your old gear?
Man this is fantastic! All I'd do different is a keyboard tray for my midi controller. I don't like it on the desktop. Love this desk dude! :D
Sweetwater is sic af they always send candy 🍬🍭🍬🍭🍬
I honestly get more excited for the candy than the gear sometimes... 😂
