    Thank you for all the comments letting me know where you're watching from. It really does help me understand how my videos are consumed. Also, a lot of you made me laugh pretty good on this fine Sunday morning. Have a great week everyone! Here are some more transformation videos to watch: ruclips.net/p/PLhqK_8dnaIW3CFOrkJ7U4I-nIyhWA1fMV

      I’m sitting on the couch in the living room, BIG MISTAKE. My wife won’t shut up and keeps interrupting you. I usually watch in my office on my computer or in bed on my iPad but next time I won’t make this mistake. 😂

    Watching it on the couch. RUclips is my TV shows I watch, and your one of the series. I like that you are Yourself, colorfull an cuss when appropriate. Not being a censored version of Yourself. Keep on keeping on. This series better not never end lol

    I laughed out loud, "It's rough on all sides, like your mom"!
    And I bowed to another David P. gem of wisdom when you said, "It always has to go through the door." I'm with you. That should be on a plaque in every woodshop in America.
    BTW: The desk looks awesome. The retro guitar amp touch is pure genius.

    I'm actually watching it at work to help motivate me to keep moving. I work at a desk but I basically maintain the storefront and as someone with ADHD, having someone in the background working hard on something helps motivate me to get stuff done too 😁👍

    I'm currently watching this on a lounge chair in my backyard next to an firepit enjoying a lovely almost spring evening here in Perth, Western Australia.
    Spent the day building a bench around a tree in my backyard out of scrap Jarrah decking and framing timber I had lying around.

    In Australia your videos usually come out at night time, so I generally watch them in bed. I started making my own RUclips videos after watching your channel and I started using skill share. My videos aren’t woodworking though. Keep up the killer work mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻

    Watching in the kitchen, drinking coffee. Really liked the rework, especially the speaker grills. Wow. Only thing I’d change is the legs. Seems like even dowels would wiggle somewhat and it’s pretty fragile looking. That said, still very cool.

    Awakened this morning with tons of plans of things to do in my shop , sat down with my coffee to wake up and watch a video of or 2 of yours and now the sun's gone and nothing's done ! lol I own 2 buildings about 18' x 45' in the tiny town Iowa town I now live . They are separated by both a garage door and a regular door , One side is my home and the other is my shop so my commute back and forth isn't bad and it makes a pretty good man cave 😁.... lol

    It looks great, although the legs' profile isn't something I'm too fond of; they look 'distressed'.
    I'm surprised you ended up permanently affixing the legs in the end. For future projects would you still consider attempting removable legs. Or would you instead attempt something closer to an extendable table, where the middle piece is removable and the top can extend and retract to make it a compact or wide desk.

    The "It always has to go through the door." reminded me of a couch that was delivered to my first apartment. I wasn't home when it was delivered, so I never knew that it could be disassembled. A few years later, when it was time to move, my friend and I spent hours trying to figure out how to get it out the front door. Eventually, we gave up on the door and instead took it out a second story window using ropes. About a decade later, it was time to take it to the dump. It was only at this time that I discovered the hidden latches that allowed the back to come off.

    Nice desk! I like the speaker baffles. I need to go find some grille cloth like you used. I can relate to “It always has to go thru the door”. I made a tall headboard for a king-sized bed, my shop is in my basement and it cleared the ceiling opening over the staircase by about 1/4”!
    I watch from Colorado. Usually watching late at night, so I use Bluetooth headset on my iPad so I do not wake my wife. And laughing into a pillow also helps! 🤣

    "It always has to go through the door." I just finished a commissioned piece that I actually built both a scale model of the piece and my door. I concluded the finished piece would NOT fit through the basement door and I was searching for an off-site place to glue/finish the piece.
    I wound up using a water based urethane with low VOCs and my wife let me use her yoga studio (old living/dining room) for glue up. The finished piece cleared the open casing and newel post by 1/2" on either side! I know all about "must go through the door!"
    Oh, watching it at the breakfast bar in the kitchen. Battery is dead and I don't want to drag an extension cord outside to the deck. Happy Sunday morning!

    Where do I watch? I have my personal computer desk next to my work sit-stand desk, so when I work from home, i watch RUclips "in the background" like radio. When I hear something interesting, I pause the playback and backup. You are one of the content creators that always cause me to backup! Either because you are doing something I haven't seen before, or you throw out a comment that I'm not sure I heard correctly ("rough like your mother"). Enjoy this new series, it is very relatable even it I have a garage with tools because the tools are currently buried due to clutter that has spilled out of the house (grumble). Keep on making on!
