Building a Desk Easel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 дек 2018
- I've been drawing a lot more lately, so I decided to make a desk easel. It's essentially just a box that can stay open to support paper, a canvas, or a sketchbook. I had a single board of granadillo, which presented some challenges and had me gluing together scraps near the end. When I saw how beautiful the granadillo was, I didn't want to substitute in another species.
It seems my camera is particularly sensitive to reflected light, so a few cuts are over exposed for part of the video. I also managed to forget to turn on my mic for a few of the shots. Sorry about that!

I really appreciate that you show us your mistakes. There are way to many DIYers on You Tube who edit their videos to show us NO mistakes. I think that's because they don't have the courage to be honest. I value honesty much more than craftspersonship. Thank you.
I think it's great that you were brave enough to show your mistakes. Great little project.
Thank you! Those mistakes are an important part of learning and I think it's great if others can learn from mine!
My respects for your woodwork's ethics. Beautiful piece at the end, that is what counts!!!
You have made a really nice looking drawing box and as my granddaughter is doing art exams i have picked out your design for making one for her and hopefully it will turn out as good as you have done thank you for the idea and tuition video ❤👌👍👏👏👏
"He's not so unlucky"
*sets piece on top instead of bottom*
"Oh I see where this is going"
I love the fact that you show the mistakes. Are you a trained carpenter. You’re eye for detail is superb
Love your "NO" moment. We share a lot of the same pain
This is the "real" world of woodworking, haha. It's funny how all the mistakes are so stupid looking back on it but when you're out there just building and trying to be efficient, it's so easy to slip up.
turned out great. thanks for sharing
Nice job man! It turned out great :)
This made me want to learn woodworking
I'm glad to hear that! It's a great hobby with a lot of challenges matched by a lot of satisfaction when completing a project.
I'd like your wonderful channel, Is exactly what I expected about woodworking. Because we all make mistakes and sometimes not have brian ilumination for resolve this. Thanks man. Saludos desde México.
Gracias! Haha yeah, most of the mistakes are very obvious when looking back at them but sometimes we're just building something and so focused that we miss it. I think it's good to show those mistakes and how to fix them... or at least laugh about them haha
Thank you ... For this video , I needed that too for the same reasons ...✨✨✨
dumb question was that the felt? I only saw that years ago when I was 8 years old till i saw it here that looks nice
I was laughing throughout the video but it turned out really nice!
Haha thanks! It's been great to use, so I've almost forgotten all my mistakes making it.
Turned out real nice, glued in wrong place, been there done that-Ha---
Thanks! Haha, yeah, I thought to my self several times that I needed to pay attention when I glued it but I think since I didn't have the hinge attached at that point my brain just kind of spaced. Luckily it wasn't anything structural!
I've wanted to try woodworking with a table saw but I've heard horror stories about accident. if i bleed, it takes a long time to stop. I'm wondering if those sleds make it safer to use?
So, a table-saw sled is generally used for cutting across the wood grain (hence, the "cross-cut" in cross-cut sled), whereas most cuts on a table-saw cut along the wood grain ("ripping" it in two). Sleds aren't very useful for rip cuts. But don't let that put you off learning woodworking. Any saw, be they hand or electric, is dangerous when used carelessly. As long as you follow basic safety rules for table-saws, and maintain a healthy respect for the machine's capabilities & limitations, you'll probably be just fine. Good luck, and all the best, my friend.
I love it... Sir.
Nice job man
HELLO I'M FROM HongKong
I REALLY ENJOY TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO
THANK YOU FOR SHARING EVERY STEP EVEN THE MISTAKE
LOOKING FORWARD YOUR NEXT VIDEO !
Xièxiè! I will continue to make mistakes and share them haha. I finally have a garage for woodworking again and have been settling in, so I hope to get back to making videos soon.
@@theunluckywoodworker7930
great news! take your time I'll be waiting for your next video!
HAHA, we don't say Xièxiè in Hong Kong , that's Mandarin language from China.
We use Cantonese as our Official language , you can say ''多謝''(dou chea) to HKers !
Then dou chea for teaching me. I learned a few words Mandarin years ago but never any Cantonese.
U'r content is pure brother 😁👍
Beautiful! Great work! I am in the works of making a desk similar to this design.
Thanks! Best of luck with your project too.
Makers need not hold any shame or remorse for moving forward w their projects. We each use the gifts God gave us to the best of our ability at the time. Could anyone you know personally replicate this project? Could they have recovered as gracefully from their mistakes as you did? Not to make comparisons but only to remind you that not pitching a fit or throwing stuff when things happen we don't like, is an excellent model for us all.
Thank you.
Currently overengineering a version of my own
Nice Video! Edit: Wish I had all your tools.
I am no carpenter, so I think I might be able to tell neither are you...? :) Anyways, got my brain working, as I am a "Flat-Desker"" as I write this. Very inspirational, both in idea and the "coming-through" part of it. Great mindset. Hope your back is better! Take care, thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you! Haha yeah, I'm quite far from being a carpenter but I still enjoy stumbling my way through projects. Thinking in three dimensions is still often a challenge, especially when I'm in the middle of it and just trying to finish instead of stepping back and thinking things through. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
You won me over by showing your mistake, I felt identify because is the kind of thing I do all the time.
Nice wok🙂
Thank you so much for sharing the mistakes! It was very cool the you didn’t edit them out.
My videos would be too short without some mistakes haha.
great work! can you share dimensions? I'm inspired by your video to try and make one
Thank you! It's a good and very useful project. Mine ended up being 15" (38cm) square and 3" (8cm) deep, but definitely modify it based on what makes sense for you. I made it slightly larger than the paper I most often work on.
It's better to drill multiple holes into the wood instead of using a chisel. It's very likely you'll break and crack the wood. My 2 cents. 🙂
That's a good point. I'm usually too eager to use my chisels because I enjoy them so much!
What was the black powder?
That's "flocking powder," which is a really fine fabric powder that feels soft to the touch. I find it much easier to apply than cutting fabric sheets to fit.
You're the luckiest unlucky diy guy. Lol. All those mistakes and still came out on top. The only thing wasted was time... But eh who cared.. great vid.
So unlucky!
Why are you unlucky?
A wicked witch gave me the curse of inexperience and it's been causing hassles ever since.
wow, i cant believe one guy is capable of making so many fck ups. everything you touch turns to shit. but hey, you made it and havent lost a limb yet. congratulations, that was amazing (not talking about the POS box, but you)
