    Great design. Built two for 9 and 6 year-old granddaughters last summer. Their Mom, my daughter, now wants me to build her one, too.

    Just made this desk for my granddaughter. I designed a hutch to go on it with 2 shelves. She LOVES it!! Such a perfect place for students to study. I am thrilled with the pattern and the finished product!! Thank you SO much for providing plans for a really great desk!!

    What are the actual measurements for the pocket hole locations, what size screw and drill bits?

    Thank you so much for the inspiration, I made one of these for my step-daughter, she LOVES it!!! I wound up using 2 pre-made pine stair treads edge-glued together for the top. Hopefully it will provide long-term stability…

    Good stuff my man! Keep it up!
    One tip with the kreg jig is use the vacuum attachment if you have it, helps keep everything much cleaner and doesn't bog the drill down as much while drilling.

    I am planning to make a ping pong table using the similar frame design. I want to use 8x4 medium density fiberboard (two tables 4x4 each). Can 2 inch x4 inch stud lumber hold the fiberboard, and is the idea of using stud lumber a viable option for a 4x4 table? Thanks in advance

    How much of a load can this bare? I'm considering making one with 36 in legs for a 3d printer that weighs about 75 lbs

    • @ChaseChristopher1
      @ChaseChristopher1  Год назад +1

      It will depend on how well you fasten it, but I am sure you would be totally fine with that load. It was a very stout desk.

    • @MrDubb5
      @MrDubb5 Год назад

      @ChaseChristopher1 my 2 boys and I built it yesterday. I got my youngest son that weighs about 75lbs to stand on it and the test went well lol. Thanks for making and loading this video!

    Nice! This desk looks great! I will definitely use this design. My wife just got a tele-health job and will be working from home. Did you write a plans on how to build this? I would like to print them out just incase.

    Hello!! bit late buuuut I was wondering if you had a alternative for a last minute desk project but don’t have a Kreg Jig?

  • @brandonmichaelcraftsandwoo7956

    Curious what you sold them for locally?

    • @ChaseChristopher1
      @ChaseChristopher1  Год назад

      I can’t remember exactly, but I think it was a couple hundred. Not bad for being a relatively cheap + east build!

    Hey - did you sand after the Polly dried? Did it leave a gritty feeling? Thanks for the video

    Tablesawing the rounded edges off makes it look more classy and less like you are using framing lumber, just a tip, I did it on my kitchen table and get compliments all the time.

      That’s a pre-made panel you can find at HD or Lowe’s. They’re pine.

  • @optimus1212
    @optimus1212 5 месяцев назад

    Honestly, there's probably no need to pocket screw the table top to the frame since you already glued it. That glue won't ever fail. I love this video btw.

    • @ChaseChristopher1
      @ChaseChristopher1  4 месяца назад

    Do you have to do the pocket hole method?. Can't you just drive screws in the standard way?
