This is a great project, but The only thing I would have done differently was, rather than screwing in the bottom where the power cords are, I would have put a hing in place for better accessibility and possibly hidden storage.
You know what makes this a great video? You show the mistakes and challenges that you ran into and then how you overcame them. Thank you for the video!
Dude, I want to thank you for providing the "Where I'm at" diagram so we can follow your train of thought. It really helps me to collect what you're doing in relation to how you are getting there. Excellent work -- as always.
I appreciate how you didn't edit out your mistakes and included "How I would do it different next time". I'm most definitely going to be using this as a starting point for my desk. Thanks for putting this out here.
You've really stepped up the professional look you have in this video. The "where I'm at" feature is unique and really beneficial to the viewer and your in-video advertisement doesn't seem tedious or forceful. Really well done
This is definitely not DIY, this looks professional... Edit: This is definitely not DIY for the common person, this is something professionals do. DIY for professionals, LOL. This edit is for the comment warriors with low humour and high sentiments to prove others wrong.
A true DIY knows that even stuff that look professional or very complicated can be modified in the process to make it more simple to do. This build can be completely done with just a drill, a circular saw, a jigsaw and normal materials like screws, wood, sandpaper, etc. The laminate can be omitted and simply paint it or apply white wood stain, two coats and then wipe on polyurethane.
I think the best way to learning is by making mistakes. That way you know not to make the same mistake again. That's why they say practice makes perfect. But I can honestly say I've never seen a video where someone called out their own mistakes. That tells a lot. Even if he messed up a bunch, his work speaks for itself. Working in the electrical and a/v field, products are constantly changing with the technology and I still learn new things on the job everyday.
You do some the best woodworking videos I've ever seen. You keep it moving at a good pace, and your not afraid to show your mistakes, and more importantly, how you recover from them. You seem to have a good idea of what you're going to do, but you improvise as you build. Reminds me of Adam Savage. I pick up so many great tips and ideas watching you. Thanks!
I don't know what to say... you impress the absolutely hell out of me. You're innovative and approachable. Your whole channel makes you seem like the type of guy that would the type of person you want to be friends with while you work through projects. You've marketed yourself really well man. I'll be your fan for the foreseeable future.
Wow. I'm impressed by the quality of your work. Not just with the wood, also with the edition of the video. Your audio and video seem to be taken from an H&h I feel inspired by your work!
Great work! I really appreciate that you don't edit out all the mistakes or challenges! It's so easy to only show us what perfection looks like bug not show what reality looks like!
Great job on the video. You are easy to listen to. Not too fast or slow. Thanks for showing the mistakes and how you corrected them. Great project and easy to follow instructions.
Excellent project, well done. I like you're including your near misses on some issues, makes me feel like I'm not the only one. For your next dream desk, instead of the vinyl, I'd like to see some sort of formica or similar surface treatment, or maybe use a premade countertop narrowed down (front to back) with a bullnose front edge. Again, excellent project!
I like how you keep your goofs in the video and show how you overcome. You do the same thing in your recent desk video from May. Thanks for keeping it real!
Love the table. Displate magnets tend to fall of the wall and the plates can damage thing while falling down so I suggest securing magnets with some additional method. I bought some strong sticky picture holders and applied them to the backs of the magnets.
The finished look is spectacular, the back lighting using LED strips was a nice touch, and the USB ports and outlets are always useful. This project had a lot going on as far as planning, tools and execution. I like the way he makes mistakes and corrects them along the way, he doesn't edit them out of his video. I would prefer the cupholder mounted in right rear of the desk for to maximize space, but that is my opinion, plus he asked what we would have done differently. I only wish I could find the time to do a project similar to this in the future. The magnetic picture/poster wall hanging system is a interesting and cool idea, thanks for sharing. OVER 5M views and 2.85M subscribers.. WOW congrats my friend !!
This is an amazing project and video! I used that same marble style contact paper on the counters in my kitchen. I learned a great tip before I did it from another RUclips video. Spray the adhesive side lightly with Windex before applying it. This will allow you to move it around before it dries and get those bubbles out much easier. Thanks for all the great videos and ideas!! :)
Looks good man! I like your narration too. You mention the flaws and the "would've should'ves". That makes the experience real because all of us discover details along the way. Great video!, man.
Dude this is amazing, all the people wining about the tools you used. But the video actually shows a bunch of nice tricks and things to think of before actually building a desk! Great work!
The whole time I watched this video, that is all I wondered. Why can't I just get a piece of wood and stick it to the wall? 😂 Sad part? I have the tools for the job, but zero desire to go through all those steps. I'd just sit a pretty little coaster on there for my cup and keep it moving 😂
Love it. What I would love, is if it could be folded down (or up) when not in use, reclaiming floor space when folded. That would make it perfect for me.
Thanks for sharing about the heat gun, but here's a hint... If you are worried about the intensity of a heat gun, try a blow dryer for hair. The multiple temperature settings allow you to switch back and forth to increase or decrease the temperature. I only switch to a heat gun if I find the blow dryer not hot enough. 💜🌞🌵
Dude i just found your channel last night and im very glad i did! Really good work man! Im trying to get my 13 year old son into woodwork hopefully once he finishes school he will go on to college to do carpentry and joinery. Keep up the good work!
Mate.... you are fantastic this! No overly complicated instructions your design ideas are robust yet elegant. Looking forward to your next video. Keep it up!
Hi Mr. DIY, love your channel. Especially the way you present it, nice to listen to and understand, even little mistakes you made, you just say how you undo and make plans. Thanks a lot. :-)
looks amazing but i somehow get this feeling that it may become little weak with time specially on resting your hands or keeping something little over 5kgs on it.
I feel like by now the wall studs would be hanging on the edges, and I probably had stuffed Polyfilla in to try and fix it. Seems realistic for a laptop and a coffee but not anything heavier - or resting your arms on it for prolonged time.
Thank you for this post. I’m actually going to start this exact design tomorrow but I’m doing 3 of them on one wall for 3 computers. I’m going to paint and stain instead of vinyl. Wish me luck.
I was looking for solid surface floating desk when I stumbled upon your video. In the beginning of it,your desk really looked like it was made out of Corian. Anyways it looked really beautiful. Nice Job Very Well Don.
Some other ways to disguise the cord would be... Use a white cord instead of black cord or what about painting the cord with matching acrylic wall paint. The acrylic shouldn't affect the wire's insulation. 💜🌞🌵
This is way cool. I’m curious to know the weight capacity of the desk though... if a large adult were to lean heavily on it, would it hold without L-brackets? Also, i would really like to see you do a corner, L-shaped floating desk - if you haven’t already 🙌
That wouldn't be a good idea as it might cause a tiny bend over time. I've used the brackets he showed in the video and they're definitely only good enough to keep average items in check.
The concept was good, DIY creator gave us ideas of a economical table to be made, just needed to at some more technical values. Strong arm rest support and easy opening at the below of the table with hinges, and secret storage. Overall I appreciate your hard work and Thanks for sharing it. 👍

Thanks for the idea. I will definitely do something similar in my bedroom. I will add more support in case somebody lost balance and tried to sit on the desk. I will probably stay away from the french cleat and use two iron brackets instead. You just mentioned two brackets at the end of the video - we are on the same page then :). Great job!
Hi, the first impression was, that is a texture of acrylic paint or something like that...but when got to know vinyl, that's even more easier. Just curious to know if you have tried acrylic paint in any of your projects?
Acrylic paints can be great for kids projects too, because there is blackboard/whiteboard paint that really adds to easyl functionality, can be great as life chart backboard attatched to a desk (whiteboard_dry erase,) and dry-erase tabletop for quick_note/quick_calculations for less paper use or app window confusion
Thanks for watching. Plans are Now Available For the Desk: Https://gumroad.com/diycreators
DIY Creators Awesome 😎👍🏻 ... 👏🏻
How much did it cost overall?
Awesome! Now just need a Lift Desk Riser.
Next project!

I love the "where I am at" feature!
Thank you
I came down to the comments just to say the same thing. Genius!
One of those things you see, and then always wonder why everyone else doesn't do it.
i didn't even see it.
Ditto! Beat me to the chase!
I love the "Where Im At" diagram at the top right of each step!
Thank you
yessss love it
You know what makes this a great video? You show the mistakes and challenges that you ran into and then how you overcame them.
Thank you for the video!
Don't see enough brothers doing this kind of innovative work on RUclips. Great job and easy to follow explanations.Thanks

Thought you were a madman for a floating marble desk when I saw the thumbnail. You certainly fooled me- it looks good!
Haha, Thanks
I was fooled too! now I have this smart project for my next desk setup, when I will have some spare time I will give it a try
yeah that would have been really heavy for the studs to support
I appreciate how you didn't edit out your mistakes and included "How I would do it different next time". I'm most definitely going to be using this as a starting point for my desk. Thanks for putting this out here.

Thanks, George, I appreciate the feedback. I'm working on getting better.
Doesn't seem to take a whole lot of work.
I don't understand why people would dislike your videos man, it's just your work, there's nothing to hate
This is definitely not DIY, this looks professional...
Edit: This is definitely not DIY for the common person, this is something professionals do. DIY for professionals, LOL. This edit is for the comment warriors with low humour and high sentiments to prove others wrong.

Don’t even have a screwdriver at my house lawl

Do it your own🤦♂️
Me too, but mine is made of vodka and orange juice.
The wireless charging a good idea. I might try that on my coffee table and nightstand in the bedroom

You said every word just right. That’s exactly how I feel.
The attention to detail in this is amazing!👏🏾
That 'french cleat' idea just blew my mind. I was going to use large shelving brackets for my build, but this idea is much better. Thanks.
I admire your honesty when you "messed up" but always sharing your plan B. Keep it up

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome Job!! I've been watching your videos all morning and I'm obsessed! Really inspiring! Makes me want to get into wood working!
Really Inspiring. I agree.
I'm never gonna do this but I'm still watching ...:) amazing I really need one in my house.
true
This is such a good idea! I need to attempt this with my dad for my small room.
😅 hey, did u ever get to doing this project? If not... Did you want to float the idea again?
Love it. What I would love, is if it could be folded down (or up) when not in use, reclaiming floor space when folded. That would make it perfect for me.
if youre using it as a desk tho wouldnt you have to remove everything on it every time you want to fold it? that’d get annoying
This is professionally made. DIY? No way! You are very good !!
Thanks for sharing about the heat gun, but here's a hint... If you are worried about the intensity of a heat gun, try a blow dryer for hair.

How about it's still in use today. The teen kid does makeup and homework on it. It's still holding up just fine.
Those wall brackets are quite small, curious to see how it's still holding up. I would have suggested some longer and thicker ones.
Its suppose to look like its floating. Adding big l brackets defeats the purpose...
I like how you include your little mistakes. It makes me not feel as bad.
I think it’s kinda insane and super cool. Brilliant finish and looks perfect for its intentions

Hi, the first impression was, that is a texture of acrylic paint or something like that...but when got to know vinyl, that's even more easier. Just curious to know if you have tried acrylic paint in any of your projects?
Acrylic paints can be great for kids projects too, because there is blackboard/whiteboard paint that really adds to easyl functionality, can be great as life chart backboard attatched to a desk (whiteboard_dry erase,) and dry-erase tabletop for quick_note/quick_calculations for less paper use or app window confusion
But if you do explore vinyl... Two overlapping layers is maximum for secure_and use the heat gun to smooth edges
Thanks for this, going to make hubbys work desk extra special!
