    You might be the only person that I've seen that shares my respect for the huge desk. I built my own in a similar fashion a while back and it's 6'x3' and when people see it they act like it's over the top. But I like to have room to move and work. Places to lay things without cramping my keyboard space, room for my arms to rest so that long sessions are comfortable. I'm building a new one that is 6" deeper and I got lucky and accidentally found your video. Really nice work and I'm going to try the rustic style. Love the setup. Thanks!

    Great job and I like the execution of your video. Not too technical and boring, but precise enough to get the idea what to do. I made a similar table a week ago (2 white Alex drawers and a 6'5 wooden top) for my editing station and it worked out perfectly. Will build a second one for my daughter too.

    This is so helpful! Ikea has changed out their desk tops and they don't have long deep ones anymore. (maybe they never did) Anyhow their deepest desktop is not long and that won't work. I need at least 32 inches deep table for my art studio. My old IKEA desktop has it's place but it's not meant for what I do to desk tops. I need sturdy and solid. I've been back and forth between a solid core door or making one like this. I think the "as is" edges will work because if I need a sans-crevice worktop I have a small portable glass top work surface I use for many of my mediums I would use anyway, or a silicone surface protector, or my cutting mat. Plus I can more easily transport lumber than a solid core door. Win/WIN! Thanks for the info!

      it may help to put the middle section together without worrying about lining anything up or cutting it and after everything is joined making a straight cut with a T square and a circ saw.
      If you are talking about the wood lining up in terms of bowed lumber you either need to be more careful with your lumber choice or get a planer.

    • @jesusquinones8649
      @jesusquinones8649 3 года назад

      What I usually do is line up all my boards, making sure the crown going the same way. I take three pipe clams, lay them on a table; put my lined up boards over them and brush glue on both joining end and clamp them all together (the glue will be more than enough, not need for pocket screws). Then, sandwich two the outside with boards going perpendicular to your table. Let dry overnight. Cut both ends of the long boards using a guide and a circular saw. Then you can put the end pieces as he suggested.

    @5:00 this is so damn true. The long pieces of trim at Home Depot that are at a 30 degree angle towards the end. I found a local clearance center that sells lumber at a very cheap price. I got primed 4 1/2" pine crown for $1 a linear foot. They sell all TYPES of wood at the same cost per foot. I'm gonna see if they have some denser types of woods that I'll use to build me a computer desk. I have a cheap, pressed wood Walmart thing that I bought from someone on Craigs a few years ago. I'm ready for a nice, home made piece of art (desk).

It was a bit of a pain and don’t really have the space to build another in my garage these days. Also have no plans for it. I just kinda winged it off of a picture I saw when I built it.

    This was a great video and a different approach, more like a story or presentation which puts a nice perspective on it. I would like to ask, can use 2x2" as bread boards? I would like to make a small table, about 36 inches long but I don't want to put bread boards that are so wide, a 2x2" will make it look like a small frame. Instead of a pocket hole jig, which I don't have, I would like to drill holes that pass through the 2x2s and then to the table to put dowels (probably 3/4 inch, 4 inch long ones). Is this a good approach?

      I have a table on my back porch I used 2x2’s as bread boards and it worked fine. You can definitely try the dowel approach. Lots of people use dowels to join things. I don’t have a ton of experience with them though. I usually use pocket holes just because the are quick and easy.

      @@JeremySiers thanks for answering my questions, it's really appreciated. Will try to make the table with those 2x2's.
