    The desk is a work of art. You've outdone yourself on this one.

    Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

    It's Saturday morning, it's raining outside, I've got my coffee & my toast and a half hour Bourbon Moth video to watch.

    The desk is fantastic, but I'm even more impressed with Craig's acting skills. The facial expression and body language when delivering ice cream is perfect. The receptionist ending was terrific too.

    I imagine you and Craig have a lot of fun behind the scenes making these awesome and entertaining videos! Nice desk! Looks beautiful!

    We need another treehouse video!

      Electrical, security cameras, trap doors and secret entrances. Mounted nerf guns and water blasters.

    • @martinmohlmann5036
      @martinmohlmann5036 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Indeed. We absolutely need an update on the tree house. I think the 'foreman' isn't too pleased. 😉

    Incredibly entertaining. Hell I even enjoyed the square space commercial. 😂 Your videos have become part of my weekend routine. Thanks.

  • @willywalt9712
    @willywalt9712 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can say with zero hesitation that this desk is the sexiest desk I have ever seen. I would literally throw my desk out on the curb, after spending a butt load on it, to get this as a replacement. Love your videos!

  • @sergespacedragon5662
    @sergespacedragon5662 ปีที่แล้ว

    The desk is out of this world! And Craig is cute with red hair

    Desk is beautiful. The combination of rounded corners on the frame and drawer boxes is perfect. Well done.

    Great job Craig … oh and Jason. Nice work ❤

  • @charlesthomas9294
    @charlesthomas9294 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I agree, this is one of your best projects ever. Those drawer pulls are the perfect accent for this desk. Love it!

  • @witchmouth
    @witchmouth ปีที่แล้ว

    Honestly? This desk is simply amazing! As a desk driver for over 30 years, this is a work of art that is nicer than any desk I have ever sat at. It would be a privilege.

    That’s one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I’ve ever seen!

  • @williamparker6649
    @williamparker6649 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Are plans available to make this desk? I have a very special piece of teak that was once the lab tabletop of a very famous scientist.
    My daughter is a professor/ scientist and I am using this wood to make an office desk for her.
    Love your channel this dest would be perfect!

    What a stunning piece guys! I've never seen the floating boxes done up before, so that was great to see. The drawer pulls were pretty cool too!

    @davidmeyer9204 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have to agree with you as far as the "Nicest Piece Yet" title. Don't get me wrong, all of your stuff is so beautiful, But this is something else. I love watching and learning so Thank You. Behind every good maker is a "Craig". Thanks to Craig as well.

  • @ThreePedalCollective
    @ThreePedalCollective ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite thing you've built. More importantly, squarespace better be taking good care of you because that commercial was hilarious and amazing.

  • @martindouglas2745
    @martindouglas2745 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice. Lots of opinions out there. Here’s mine…You may be right thinking the wood movement of the boxes will be minimal. Still cross grain solid wood panels with no room for movement in the connection method is a recipe for long term problems. Bravo for allowing for seasonal movement when attaching the boxes. Good luck long term. Hope I’m wrong.

  • @ben68442
    @ben68442 ปีที่แล้ว

    That a beauty of a desk. I have a love seat from the 70's with a very similar frame work design. Some old design features are indeed timeless.

  • @keithwoodcrest
    @keithwoodcrest ปีที่แล้ว

    Dude. That is one of, if not straight up just the best looking desk I've ever seen

  • @chashint1
    @chashint1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice looking desk.
    Glues top and bottom on cross grain, wood movement nothing to worry about, then worries about wood movement when screwing drawer cubes into the desk.

    GORGEOUS!!! What a build..ART! I am an intermediate woodworker but I will be attempting this project because this is the desk of my dreams! I hope the plans are available...Craig is one lucky guy.

  • @Genetikx

    Build Suggestion: There are several restoration videos of Victorian Writing “Slopes” like a portable desk. Can you build one, complete with hidden drawers???

    Listened to the January 20 edition of the Creative Culture podcast today. Intriguing commentary on the power of TH-cam vs network television as a distribution channel for DIY content. Rearranged my cognitive map for broadcast and streaming media.
    And, uh, cool video on the mid-century modern desk build.

  • @williamtaylor6252
    @williamtaylor6252 ปีที่แล้ว

    Prior to this, my favorite build to date was the pool chair inspired walnut coffee table, but I think this desk has taken the title. Easily one of the coolest pieces I've seen, not just on this channel, but all of youtube. Super dope big bruh.

  • @ReenTheBean
    @ReenTheBean ปีที่แล้ว

    The desk is stunning! You definitely captured that mid-century vibe!! You should turn the desk so it faces the outdoors, maybe on an angle off to one side. That's an amazing location with that view!

    LOL! Like your ADD . Which is me. And I generally credit Murphy in my accidental design. LOL! Seeing your last video I purchased a Whiteside trim bit. Did the sneaking up on it as my band saw work was done with a 3/4 blade. Humor and info...well done.

    @zenful-meditablesawing ปีที่แล้ว +1

    All your work is great and I appreciate the down to earth presentation, this piece feels like a whole new level though, lovely design and execution, might even have to admit, it's inspiring, not just as a piece, but a level of mastery to put in my long term goals. Thanks for sharing!
