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!!
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.
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.
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
I tried making a desk today its working ok so far but I made a mistake and got a 2 by 1/2 by 4 plywood top and Im now starting to think its gonna break if I put to much preasure but I just need to get another 2 by 4 to go right down the middle of it but now I know to get a 3/4 or 1 inch plywood top for next time
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.
@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!
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.
Just built this desk from your design with my two daughters and we love it. Thank you! 😊
Way cool, good job! Way to get the kids involved👍
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.
@@chipbolman8035 way cool! Glad it’s been useful👍

Great to hear!
Dude that was the simplest video I’ve ever seen. Will try to build this!
Awesome, have fun!
What are the actual measurements for the pocket hole locations, what size screw and drill bits?
I love how he just throws the tape measure when done with it.

Awesome to hear! Lots of good variation options, sounds like you found a good one👍
Hi I want to put some Rane 12 dj turntables in a desk like this can I have the plans
Thank you so so so much. 7 just have to get the pocket holes tool, I love it. Thank you for sharing all the steps.
Good stuff my man! Keep it up!

Thanks, Dayton! Good point. I still need to go buy a shop vac😂
Thanks mate. 👍😎🇦🇺
Super nice, thanks for the detailed vid, I learned a lot!
Great video. I will build desk just like this but about 5" shorter. Thanks for the tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Great biil
love the videos! Is freelance photography your full time job?
Thanks, Jace! No, I have a full time job outside of photography👍

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?
How much do you sell them for? They look great!!!
Thanks! I think I sold them for around $180 if I remember correctly.

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

What size screws did you actually use?
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
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.

Nice.
Great video. How much are you selling them for
Thanks! About 120-150
Curious what you sold them for locally?
I can’t remember exactly, but I think it was a couple hundred. Not bad for being a relatively cheap + east build!
Dimensions????
Thanks for sharing this video! Can you tell me what kind of wood is used for the desktop? Thanks!
That’s a pre-made panel you can find at HD or Lowe’s. They’re pine.
Also how much $$ is the build
wait but you didn’t include the cost of TOOOLs!!!!

Thanks! And you’re probably right, I tend to over-fasten things…
In today's money that's like $2000?
Haha no kidding😂 I think it would still be easily under $100

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