I grew up helping my dad in his workshop. I learned so much about experimentation and resiliency from working with him. My daughter plays with the doll house that he made me. He died two months ago, and today would have been his 75th birthday. You've made your daughter more than a desk. God bless.
I know the same feel, even if this comment is late. I grew up 6 years of life with my grandfather, sorta took over my non-present dads role. We worked on all things, tractors and frount loaders, wood carving, wood crafts, etc. I remember my mom would yell down to the shop at night to get some dinner. Ya, it sounds like some Disney movie but it was great. He died two week ago, even up until a month before, he was walking g around with two canes making simple things like wood turned door handles. 🙂 this channel really keeps this hobby of mine going.
sorry for your loss.it's always hard to lose a beloved one especially when you had a strong bond.i exactly know how much it hurts.i hope that joy will overcome the grieve soon if you think of him and keep his memory alive.my dad died almost 4yrs ago by suffocation.i found him the next day.and that was the worst day in my whole life.i miss him terribly..but i'm grateful for all what he taught me and the things he did for me,even though i was an adult.i think to him i was still his little boy.at first i was a little bit uncomfortable,but he was always happy when i was there for dinner and spend some time together.i didn't want to take away his joy by doing dad-stuff 😁.i proudly can say that i had the best dad anyone can only wish for.big hug from a fellow sufferer.
Paint the underside of the desk with blackboard paint then it can be used as an easel or a blackboard. Or tou could glue on a piece of whiteboard to use markers instead of chalk.
We kept finding we needed a folding table. This is so easy to store. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxStL0QRChBju4aQlnTrRgBZvafFog0KU3 Opening and closing is easy as well. It has a great handle for carrying around the house. Its pretty lightweight and slides around easy. We bought it for our daughter’s first sleepover. Breakfast was a blur - but 12 7-8 year olds fit at the table with room to spare. We used it at thanksgiving and 6 adults fit comfortably on each side plus 2 on either end for a total of 8. Super easy to clean up afterwards as well.
Very clever how you get 3 different uses out of the lid by holding it in 3 different positions. I've watched several of your videos and I've always been impressed by your skillful craftsmanship, but the intelligence of your designs has always been the thing I've admired the most. You get my full respect, sir.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I'm totally in love with this desk. Also with the laminate. My mum always tells me, that her first desk was laminated too and how nice it is to write on these desk tops. The whole desk is so elegant and simple shaped. But the process of getting the concept right must be a huge amount of work. When I make my children desks too someday, they will be inspired by this one. Thanks Neil!
Man, watching your attention to detail every step of your projects and your efficiency of energy and just how clean you keep your shop are all inspiring to a carpenter who needs work in all of those areas. Thanks for your channel bro
So I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past few days since I discovered your channel and I’m gonna make a bold statement here: I think I like your channel more than Jimmy Diresta’s. What I love about jimmy’s videos is even when (on the outside) it seems like it’s going to be a straightforward build, he always ends up using some technique during the process that blows my mind and inspires me. Your channel seems to have that same magic to it, but what sets you apart is your meticulous attention to detail. I also dig the way you problem solve and how your totally okay with trying something a bunch of times till you land on the design that is best. Your work is massively inspiring, thanks for sharing it with us!
I saw thumbnail and thought " hey that looks nice and simple, I can make that. " then I watched the video and I was shocked at first, thinking omg why is he doing that, but I continued to watch, and man I applaud you, that was a true example of master wood working, not a nail or screw in it. turned out amazing, though I would have used more support under the writing surface. but only because I am bigger and want one for myself. great video and thank you for sharing it.
I'm new to your channel and just now saw this. My dad used to do things like this for my sister and me. It brought back wonderful memories for me and you are creating those for your daughter, ❤
Great design! Very well crafted! I do recommend screwing into the wall studs... The drywall anchors are good for sheer force, but not lateral forces as when someone sets something heavy on the desk. Looks and functions great.
What a marvellous designer you are! You come up with such useful solutions to problems you encounter! And you do any job "properly", with attention to detail to produce the best finish possible. Nothing slapdash about *you*!! I'm glad your daughter loved the desk, and I hope she treasures it as especially made by her Dad. One day (remarkably soon!) you'll be watching your grandchildren use it. Thanks for sharing. ♥️
This was an amazing and entertaining build to watch you work through. Plus, this is something your daughter can use and cherish forever. She could even pass it along to her own kids someday.
Great project. I like the hinges you designed, and I really love that the desk can be used in three different positions - closed=easel, flat=desk, angled=drawing table. The runner in the long drawer was a simple but brilliant solution to drawer binding. I'm a little surprised that you didn't use a French cleat to mount it to the wall. The cleat could be mounted with as many anchors as needed, then a couple of screws through the back of the desk into the cleat would have held it securely and made it easy to mount (and to dismount if you want to add new features or make repairs in future). Future improvements: * Upright cubbies mounted to the side for paper storage * A couple of hooks on the side to hold longer items like rulers and dust brushes * Goose-neck LED lamp on top to illuminate the desk (like the Ikea NÄVLINGE)
love the build, love the result, hate the plasterboard fixings as have had real problems with that type and so binned the rest. I took a cupboard down to paint the wall - the fixings came with it and trashed the plasterboard. I really like the designs you come up with and the way you tell us about things that did not go so well or where the design had to change. When someone with your skill hits problems it gives hope to the rest of us.
You are such a true craftsman Pask. Even when you make a video of something I wouldn't ever need to do I still watch just to see how you get it done. So creative! Great work.
Who needs a furniture store when you have the know-how and materials to make a one of a kind that will last forever, unlike the crap that is sold everywhere that breaks after a few months. Bravo on your beautiful work sir!
Amazing design and mechanism. She will watch these videos when she grows up and tear up at all the work and thought you put into her desk. I thought that when it is closed, the front could have a chalk board or white dry erase board for notes or whatnot. Just a thought
You are brilliant!! Every small little solution you came up with was obvious with the benefit of hindsight: true mark of a solution that is brilliant in its simplicity.
What a lucky girl! I also had a very clever father and now enjoy my own workshop filled with many of his tools. thank you very much for the inspiration. Beautiful work!
Outstanding! I love how you show us the challenges you encounter and the resulting solutions. It's truly a pleasure to watch these videos. Keep them coming!!
Did the same myself, over the years...same style mask actually that hyper- sensitive people refuse to wear during pandemic!! Ha ha. Also did hardwood flooring for many years & protected the knees with pads. Result...I still have healthy lungs & knees, decades later
@@FlatlandMando Anything to prevent too much dust from entering the lungs. I use a prototype mask I made that didn’t fit well enough to filter the exhaled air, but does fit well enough to filter the inhaled air, since the suction pulls it close to the face.
Thanks for showing your trial-and-error. Allows the rest of us not to feel so 10-thumbed stupid. Excellent technical execution that allows the artistry and creativity to shine. Great respect for all the DIY tools. The Dremel mortiser? wow
If you ever have to re-make the desk (or make another one) make the side panels 3/4 of an inch (19mm) deeper off the back of the desk so you can use a french cleat to mount it. It would make moving it around a lot easier if necessary.
Fascinating project to watch, love the way you incorporate some trial and error to come up with a solution to hold the lid straight. Beautiful craftsman ship, you got an additional subscriber!
A fantastic design Neil, particularly the hinges and the stop for the folding part. Coupled with your usual excellent video editing - it's another masterclass in makery, I'd say :)
That is such a fantastic little work space for your daughter. I know another market where this would be huge─tiny houses. This piece could sell for hundreds in a magazine. It's so perfectly finished.
Brilliant design! I’d consider putting a dowel through the hinge and desk with epoxy, that way both ‘fingers’ of the hinge are bound together and less likely to be a failure point when leaning on the desk. Thanks for the vid 😁
I agree she does have nice handwriting! Nice job Neil! I kept expecting you to put a knob on those hinge pin like a clothes pin. What you did looks great as well.
Brilliant design on this one. I like the fact that it's both practical but also child oriented, i don't know if it's intentional or not but it sure as heck makes me remember childhood stuff, that je ne sais quoi that things meant for children evoke.
This thing is pretty cool, all the utility you get out of it and still save space! I might try a shallower, longer version of this for my kitchen, and blackboard paint the underside of the shelf so it can be a reminder board. A small suggestion, though - the hinges. Epoxy is a lot harder than wood glue, so it can be very brittle as well. A 1/4" hole drilled down the middle of the hinge, an inch or so into the plywood, would let you glue a 1/4" dowel in there to take some of the abuse it's bound to get, especially as the hinge wears over time. Hmm.. I wonder how well it would work to hide an HDPE ring on the inside of the hinge hole as a wear surface? It even comes in so many colors... Now you've done it! I'll be thinking about this for the rest of the day!
Watched this thinking I could make one for my daughter ..... yeah .... nah!! Apart from the amazing workshop you have that made me so envious! You are a craftsman - couldn't hope to replicate your skill, still thoroughly enjoyed the video - thanks for sharing - cheers from NZ
Every project I watch of yours is instant motivation to keep pursuing the hobby. You're a great videographer as well. Thanks for the entertainment Neil!
Beautiful! I was kind of surprised you did not put this on the wall with a french cleat system, so it could move up the wall as needed, and be removed easily for more space in this small room.
your daughter has a lovely handwriting! And with a black marker no less! I never wrote that pretty, but in this day and age a steady handwriting has become a rare commodity... Tell her to treasure and nurture it, she will be happy that she did when she gets older :)) And your work, as always, beautiful and elegant. I love the attention to detail which makes a "simple" item looks so incredibly sophisticated... Thanks for uploading!
Great space-saving option! I'd love a wider option with a space for built in monitors, speakers, what-have-you with maybe just a fold down keyboard and mouse. Also, cup holders with a sign on the top that says something like, "don't forget your cup"
really cool build! personally think you could utilize the back space/easel space even more by adding a whiteboard or blackboard to it, then you could have reminders and schedules written on it AND draw on it
I'm curious how the hinges on this are holding up under normal use. After you notched out the dowel to fit around the desktop there's not a lot of wood left there to support the weight of the desk, and that's a long lever sticking out there.
The hinges are super strong and not an issue at all. The hinge is glued to the desk with epoxy so its very well supported and almost becomes part of the desk. :)
Wonderful build as always. Question arose as I was watching though: Why not use a thru-bolt and t-nut or similar to attach the desktop to the hinge pins? That way if any part of the desktop gets damaged or needs relaminated, it could be easily popped off without having to replace the hinges as well.
Thanks Gordon! I thought of a few different ways to fix the hinge but I didn't want to see any screws or bolts. I did think about putting a dowel through the hinge but I'm happy with the way I did it. I can't see that I'd ever need to replace the desk but if I did I'd saw through the hinges, remove them with a chisel and make new ones. :)

Thanks very much Robert! :)
I love this. The design is awesome and I love the way you did the hinges. Those pops of color really add to the whole thing too. Great job!
There's not enough people in this world that show their mistakes and struggles along the way like you do. It's an amazing feature of your videos.

Super cool Neil , i think the laminate really made it pop and is a super simple way to finish the heavily used areas.
Love this! Really liked hearing how you solved all of the problems you faced along the way.
Glad you enjoyed it Jon! :)
The love for your daughter actually had me watch more than interest in how you put together the desk ❤

Beautiful penmanship at the end. She should make her own font! Nice job. Cheers!
I had other things to do, but it was worth spending the time watching a couple of video's! Thank you very much sir!

that hinge is fantastic. Maybe you can make a laminate roller out of scrap wood, forge a handle. Great project.
