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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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. 💜🌞🌵
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!
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 !!
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!
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!
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!
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.
There's nothing more satisfying than spending the day making something. Of course you ending up swearing a lot, scratching your head trying to figure something out, asking 'why tf did i do that?', and losing items you though you put down somewhere specific - but at the end of the day you look at it and it makes all the headaches disappear! Every news project increases your skill set. I've only made about 5 items but the things I've learned just from those is quite a lot!
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 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.
Mister man, i really like ur works and i have learnt so much from you. i even built ur floating shelf with LED beneath it and fixed it in my hall. It's was so amazing.
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 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.
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. 💜🌞🌵
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.
I like how he doesn't pretend he never makes a mistake. Every man/woman who has done work like this has done something the wrong way. The important thing is CATCHING your mistake and learning from it (as he did every time.)
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.
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!
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.
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 😂

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
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.
And all these tools.
Well, that's what happens when a professional does stuff for himself. Technically still DIY.

@@jellyg.8961 Sure, but I'd say that 'that would be correct DIY'. Not everyone seems to have those high-end tools.
Thanks!
Your house must be beautiful
I was about to say that
I think the same! He should make a video showing his house haha
karina truuue 😂 good designer
Indian middle families can just dream of dream desk
i thought this too :))) his house's gotta have sick interiors cuz he made them all

DIY? All I have is a screwdriver in my house :P
farhadtarapore you can just get a set of ryobi tools or craftsman and you can make some pretty good stuff
Don’t even have a screwdriver at my house lawl
I have a screw driver but its tip is round😐
Do it your own🤦♂️
Me too, but mine is made of vodka and orange juice.
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
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
Thanks, George, I appreciate the feedback. I'm working on getting better.
Doesn't seem to take a whole lot of work.
Don't see enough brothers doing this kind of innovative work on RUclips. Great job and easy to follow explanations.Thanks

Pretty awesome.
I love the fact that you are man enough to admit parts you did wrong or would do differently.
Desk looks really stylish.
The wireless charging a good idea. I might try that on my coffee table and nightstand in the bedroom
Thank you, Yes it is 😀

This is a beautiful project. I love how you provide feedback for yourself and learn from these projects during the editing process. Great content!
This project would take me 5 years to complete :o/

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.
Brilliant !!! absolutely Brilliant !!! GREAT JOB !!! thanks for all the ideas !!

As a cat owner, that cupholder is clutch on a desk, especially with electronics nearby.
Average Floridian every cat owner needs all the cup holders.
Awesome desk Glenn. Love the new intro.
Thank you. 😀
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.
I admire your honesty when you "messed up" but always sharing your plan B. Keep it up
Great project. Seem challenging but also fun. Really looks great to.
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...
Love your work.
Thank you
Very Beautiful project and excellent tutorial.

How'd it go??

I bet you failed. Thats why you are not responding
My DIY means get a 4x4 block of wood .. stick it on the wall and hope the load won’t make it collapse 🤨

Not a developers desk obviously.
It would turn into pieces after hours of debugging :P

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.
