This desk was built for a client who wanted a really Big, Modern, L Shaped, Corner, Executive Desk...and I think we ticked all of the boxes. It is made out of walnut and measure about 100 inches along one length, and 112 inches along the other. So too big for most people's rooms. For that reason we didn't make plans for this desk, but we have plans for a different desk and plenty of other woodworking projects on our site.

If thousands of dollars on a piece of furniture and found a pocket hole in it I would be returning it immediately. Your paid advertisement does not persuade me. Faster does not mean better.

FINAL COLOR IS A BIG F
“Above all else, the top.” Besides the stunning furniture design, beautiful videography, and soothing voiceovers, I live for the puns from this channel. Also loved the Helvetica reference. Great work all around.
"soothing voiceovers" sounds like a soyboy
The author does like to th-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
ive been rickrolled so many times that im not even going to click the link
@@sparkun4887 it's not a rick roll, but it isn't a video either
This is such a boss desk. Now I just need to find a local workshop that can make one for me.
so entertaining!
As someone who doesn't have a single bit of experience with woodworking, I appreciate you taking the time to explain your tools, reasoning, and basic terminology. This video alone opened my eyes to the details like the flow of the grain from side to side as well as the edge within an edge thing, that was cool.
26:23 idea! Cut a slot half up the back portion of one leg and cut another slot half down the other leg. Glue, slide together and screw from both sides of the corner edge. Not sure if this is practical or adds any additional strength but it just popped in my head watching this.
Your work is always so cool. It's part of the reason I've become so obsessed with modern and mid century modern furniture. I have a feeling that in 20/30/60 years, your pieces will be on that antique road show. An original four eyes coffee table/dresser/different coffee table/different dresser.
Absolutely gorgeous desk. Found your channel recently and really have been enjoying the teaching nature of the information. Excellent content
Fantastic, as always, work from you two. Regarding the use of pocket holes, just prior to watching this video I was watching Ishitani's latest video and seeing how he attached stretchers under his table and it was mind blowing how well it was done, but is also meant to be seen. Pocket holes were perfectly fine in your fine furniture piece and the mechanical fasteners perform well there.
Thank you! I am also in the middle of a corner desk build. I've done the two mitered top parts and I was designing how to join them together and how to properly support the top across the seam between the two parts. I was thinking of all kinds of crazy things, but now I think using dominos without glue plus dogbone connectors to join the two parts of the top, and supporting the weight using a leg that connects at the back corner where the two tops meet would be sufficient.
I was excited to see the render of the Desquire as an l shaped desk. I asked you about it like a year ago and you were kind enough to answer some questions for me. Haven't had a chance to build it but I will someday. I feel seen! Great video, as always.
As a student of architecture, your pieces inspire me more than the majority of architecture I've seen. Funny how different technical-but-creative fields work with each other.
It isn't often one sees such fine woodwork. This table and all your designs are worthy of Museum Display!
I'm sure it's been said before, but this channel has the same voiceover vibe as Baumgartner Restoration, and I'm living for it.
Beautiful job!
Amazing design!
Great vid def one of your best. So many small details you put in other videos were so well Integrated into this one and I loved it ❤ esp the dinning table glue picking
Beautiful desk. Well done. Great video.
Beautiful, love your work!
Looks fantastic. Loved it
Thank you Chris for the amazing content
If you’re open to the idea something we use at the shop I work for is to apply p-lam laminate to our work table tops. The laminate is really good at not letting glue stick to it. After there is glue you can scrap it off and just it the surface with a quick sand if it’s too hard to scrap. Once it’s to thin(which takes a long time) it’s easy to use more contact cement and just apply a new layer. It’s been a great surface to work on and saves time during glue ups not working about tape or mats.
You weren't lying, that thing is huge! Love that you went all in with hardwood for everything. Awesome job gents!
Stunning piece of furniture!
Great to see you use the Rockler portable drill guide. Been wanting it for a while, but I was hesitant with some of the reviews I read. If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me!
Arguably the best film yet - 'Above all else the top' and having to learn the domino over and over and over - BRILLIANT!
You fellas do amazing work on every project 👏
WOW!!! This comment section is not sufficient for telling you how much this video helped my with problem solving a corner desk project on which I'm working. Thank you!
Another great one. I love the style
Oh wow, that's just beautiful!. I would buy one. I had difficulty finding a desk for a 49" ultrawide monitor that can also withstand the weight of another 34" monitor mounted on a vertical stand. The current desk sizes are for tiny monitors, and when used with ultra wides, there is no room for stuff (laptop, coffee, books, headphones, etc.). I ended up buying a dining table as my desk for my setup.
This is nothing more than art, thanks for sharing
this is the first video i see from this channel and i can already tell, this is serious quality woodworking content, keep it up
Such beautiful design and execution…and oh, that walnut!
Your animations are becoming truly next level!
great work as always... Still inspired...
awesome materials looks great
I snorted when that off cut fell out of the sky after a two scene transition in the video. You guys make very slick looking content and I hope some day I'm as good.
Excellent as always 👏👏👏👏
I can tell it's taken you a long time to acquire the skills to make this.
But what's also difficult is to explain and show the process so a layman like me understands.
10/10
Man, I wish you guys had made this piece before I made the one I did on my channel. Your design/approach to the different components would have been so helpful haha. Nice to finally see that knock down hardware used in a miter!
So freaking beautiful.
Man, I love the subtle humor! 😂. The part where you watch and then re-watch the Festool video was hilarious!! 🤣
This desk is straight ballin. Price for walnut here in BC has me swooning over this piece
Love your designs. I would actually build a giant desk like this but I'm an odd case where my job requires several computer monitors and I like haveing a work place for my current projects I'm playing with too.
What a beauty!
just awesome
What a beautiful desk. I need the plans man, I want one in my office. This is gorgeous as is but would be next level with some kind of epoxy inlay and protective coating. I'd totally add is some hidden provisions for wires and lighting. The styling is just very appealing and I think classic. I want to say 60's. One could make it using almost any kind of material too and scale it to different sizes. Small, medium and large, budget materials, mid grade, exotic and then even incorporate steel and or aluminum with wood. I could see this in different colors too, reversed layout and maybe even matching wall mount cabinet. I could build a company just on selling this design and some variants for a wide range of budgets. Your video is also top quality with some great humor (I laughed hard a few times), detailed filming and addition of technical animations. Big thumbs up.
24:30 mark, pocket hole screws in the base application is ABSOLUTELY appropriate as there won't be any force on the corners, only vertical on the wood.
Wow. I love it.
Excellent 🙌🏼
i love the way you said that it was impossible to make that toe kick under 5 min with dowels. i defintly don't agree because i always make my furniture with dowels and i think that i build them in like 3-4 min a piece. but love you're videos keep up the good work!!!!
Buen trabajo!!!
Thanks guys. That is impressive. How many man hours did you put in planning, preping, building, filming editing ?!!! 150 ? easy ? Stunning result !
Nice work on the desk guys :) Thanks for sharing the video with us💖👍😎JP
This is some next level bad ass stuff.
Holy Moly Lemon Cannoli!!!!! Freakin BEAST mode desk right here. Have a Merry Christmas & Blessed Holidays my friends, Dirty Jersey out!!
I’m sure u are already aware but Blum makes depth adjustments for the drawer box clips.
even in a full overlay application it does still help with alignment when not using bumpers.
Look cool!
That's a beautiful desk. Would love to see something similar but the work desk side be a sit stand desk
I totally want this desk
The watching yourself joke was good! : )
Looks great! The only detail I would add is I’d do a similar countersink to the top attachment points on the bottom of the legs and install hidden levelers. Over a span that long, it’s likely there will be elevation changes in almost any floor.
True
great stuff
Bro your shop is legit goals.
Man, I need that W desk you show at the end.
I really really like your Uniqe design.
Wonder how much it actually costs though. Looks amazing.
Legit intro, bro. Nicely done!
I would absolutely love to have a desk this hefty
that was rad
that is a really cool desk. Unfortunately, nothing beats a height adjustable.
These vids are the best
Never seen a sneaker head wood worker lol 🤙🏾🤙🏾
For the solid wood cabinet is there no need to be concerned for wood movement? Thinking about the miter sides and the center panel glued across the width. I’m going to be building my first solid wood piece soon, and am just confused about when and where I need to be concerned with wood movement. I understand wood moves perpendicular to the direction of the grain, it’s more confusing to me about when it’s safe to glue and when it’s better to attach a piece to allow for movement. Love this piece! I’ve learned so much from you both. Thanks in advance.
Nice!
hahaha ahh that festool hardware part was awesome. Great build gents.
Man this is the desk of my dreams ????
Actually i want buy that so gorgeous
Damn those transparent shots of the domino jointer look great man! You've really upped your game recently, I love it :)
Love the video. Amazing looking desk, I would love something like this.
Side note;
Does anyone else think he sounds like Riz Ahmed. The guy who played the bad guy in Venom 1.
Love it. In fact putting a gouty Christmas tree of a computer next to it seems a shame. You got designs for a wood computer case to match.
"Above all else: The Top"... I see what you did there ;)
What epoxy did you use for this project? It came out looking excellent!
Just thinking about building an L shaped desk. Love the design.
I saw that the table top was made from pretty wide pieces. Do you ever have issues with wood movement on using such large wide pieces? The desk is gorgeous by the way.
great work, thank you for sharing. May I asked how much a custom build like that would be?
All your tools, clamps and shop stuff must cost over a million bucks lol. So many of those new rockler clamps, insaaaane.
i love you guys! you are exactly want i want to be
Ok. That infinite regress clip with the domino tool video was hilarious.
Really love the design, may i ask, how strong the corner is? corners always give me anxiety because of the torque on that area.
Anyone else think that W desk at the end would be DOPE?
I WANT THIS TABLE
“Helvetica extra black L” is the most hipster reference ever. Lol. Great video.
your sense of humor is so weird but i love it 😂😂
Yeeted the HECK out of that scrap @23:38!
nice
太好了，和宜家一模一样。
Hey guys. How did you attach the base to the cabinet? I’m building a pretty massive monolith coffee table and I’m wondering about the best approach.
I absolutely love this! Were you drawing in Procreate? I long to learn how to draw like that. Excellent vid, thanks for sharing!
Excellent job no doubt:). Complimenti
Out of curiosity.
How much a table like this cost?
You hit the nail on the head with this one, I’ve been looking to make pretty much this exact desk! I can’t afford the walnut (or any hardwood for that matter), so I was wondering; could one make this same project with plywood or MDF? More specifically, do you think the top would be stiff enough to support the L at these dimensions? Thanks!
Build everything out of cheap c grade maple. Like $50 a sheet. Would still look great
I just asked similar question on using oak veneer on top of good quality plywood to make top.
