Every bookcase starts as a set of boxes and every desk as a series of boards. But when luxury meets necessity, a non-functional space can be re-imagined and dramatically transformed. But when your client is a former musician and audiophile and wants audio components IN his desktop, labor and material costs suddenly skyrocket...

done! I relied heavily on your last major built-in video when I made a project for my house. it was tremendously helpful!
@@christophercrawford1984 Fantastic! So much good content on there. And so glad to hear the other video was able to help you build something awesome for your own house!
I made it!
@@GageDrums Thank you!
Done and thankyou for your awesome videos - I found you today subbed and got me a gold membership
As a hobbyist audio engineer and enjoyer of all things hardwood, this has got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
My local hardwood supplier had a customer that would buy truckloads of veneered plywood to make home elevators. The customer changed their process and went with different wood. The hardwood dealer had tons of walnut and maple veneered plywood that they put on clearance. I bought a bunch of it for $40 to $50 a sheet. I'll be making everything out of it for the foreseeable future.
Holy cannoli!! What a steal!! I probably would have bought it all up, too! 😂
Home elevators?! Geesh.
@@Critter145 I don't know the company, but apparently, they built elaborate elevators that were installed in mansions all over the world.
@@hamilde that’s super cool.
My mother in law is approaching 80 and can’t do stairs anymore due to knee degradation. A home elevator would be great for her. Thought I’m not so sure about the walnut walls :)
Going the extra mile on details may not seem like a good business desicion but that couldn't be further from the truth.
Those extra details is what pushes customers back and draws a new clientele too (especially over here in RUclips).
Awesome work Keith.
Thanks man! And thanks for the comment. These are repeat clients, so I guess it's working 😉
Great comment! I 💯 agree
Back in the 80's I was an inside salesman at a wholesale lumber and plywood distributor. A guy who ran a small local cabinet shop came in and bought eight sheets of 3/4" A-2 walnut. It was beautiful stuff, high end architectural, book matched and numbered. I wrote him up and sent him to the warehouse, where he was kept waiting because it was lunchtime and the guys who were there were busy, so I jumped on a forklift and pulled down the stack and helped him load it into his pickup. I could not help but comment on how gorgeous it was and asked him what he was making and the poor man looked like he wanted to cry.
Seems he had bid a high end job in River Oaks, the old money part of Houston, and the job specced the walnut - but it was going to be covered in black lacquer. This premium, absolutely gorgeous plywood was going to be covered in black paint!
I was about ready to cry too. Stupidest thing I ever heard of. He could have used paint grade birch, but he wasn't going to vary from the product as it was specified. It's been forty years now and it still hurts me to think of it.
Thanks for sharing! Luckily it wasn't solid walnut...
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Same guy made a killing on another job in River Oaks. Big mansion, had double stairways coming down from the second floor to the big room off of the front door. They wanted the existing stairway torn out and their new design installed as part of a renovation. He underbid the next guy badly and got the job. Built them a beautiful new set, too.
The secret was that he had spotted that the existing stair treads were made of solid Brazilian Rosewood. Big old wide stairs, two sets of them. He hauled what he tore out straight to the bank. The existing build probably went back to the 1950's or so.
As a former Houstonian, that sounds about right. lol
中国人反而对于红木很感兴趣，希望博主可以试试😂
@@michaelgray4964 Makes me wonder about the "old money" part really. At least here in Europe "old money" means you are brought up appreciating the value of things, while "new money" would do the things you describe, request the most expensive (but inappropriate) materials just because they can afford it, and throw out perfectly good things just because they are "old".
The quality, complexity, and attention to detail are incredible. Putting those 30 years of experience to work here!
Thanks Kelly! This one definitely challenged me…which I love!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking what resin is that at 34:20? thank you Keith

Like anything else, just when you start to feel competent, you see a professional like this work. I'm extremely impressed, and inspired.
Wow, thank you!
Insane how much work went into this for the price when you watch the live edge slab table channels that just bathe everything in ten tons of epoxy charging upwards of $15,000 for a simple table using pre-fab legs. This is super awesome~
Thanks very much! Yeah, I figured those epoxy tables would have jumped the shark by now...😩
Isn't it amazing how, with the knowledge and foresight gained from 30 years of experience, he can foresee issues coming down the line that would take hours of finicky reworking, but the solution is to just insert a folded piece of tissue paper as he cuts the fixtures.
The end result was beautiful but the extra attention to detail with that brass guitar knob was really , really a nice touch. Says a lot.
10/10 video enjoyment reported from this viewer.
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best 😎
Non-woodworker here, but as someone whose studio contains a good amount of modular synth gear (the airplane knobs in the giant, beautiful rack) and enjoys watching quality, care, and process, I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
That’s awesome! Thanks man! 🤙🏻😎
Was just thinking, Keith hasn’t posted anything for a long while; hope he’s alright.
Now we know why! Amazing design and build as usual. Bravo.
😂 As you can see, I’ve had my hands full! Thanks so much for the kind words and for keeping tabs on me 🤙🏻👊🏻
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking// Yea, it’s your cats fault 😂
@@finntexbuild4809 Usually is 😹
I ran a one man (something two of three with the help of my dad and 1st cousin) shop building furniture and cabinets from 1991-2012. I was also trained by Fine Woodworking, American Woodworker magazines and books from people like Tage Frig and Jim Toplin. I was disabled in 2012 and now run a CNC, laser 3D printing shop as a hobby. I love watching RUclips woodworking channels and I have to say you do some of the most amazing, complex and beautiful builds every. Your attention to detail is second to none and the fact you film it so masterfully just blows me away!! Keep up the awesome work... you are a true craftsman!!
Wow! Thats high praise from someone with your experience. Thank you very much! And thanks so much for watching the video. Cheers! 🙏🏻😁
Making the customer happy is number one in this business and I must say your attention to detail is amazing. One of your best videos to date. Can’t wait for the next one
Couldn't agree more! Thanks so much, Steve. I appreciate the support 👊
Finished product is beautiful. The craftsmanship is superb. Watching you construct your projects is both educational as well as entertaining with your humor. Frankly, one of the best parts is watching you deal with the inevitable issues that come up as a project unfolds. Mistakes will occur however it's how they're handled that's key; you do a great job in this area.
Thank you, Frank! I greatly appreciate the thoughtful comment. It definitely makes all the hard production work of putting these videos together worth the effort. 🙏🏻😁
I'm an audio engineer so building my own recording studios is my thing but I have a friend that is a big time home and commercial building contractor. I asked him if he ever built a recording studio and he said "Oh no. I've looked at recording studios in Nashville when my son was recording there and there isn't a straight line in those buildings anywhere." Lol! Yes with wood that expensive you can't afford to make many mistakes. Great work there! I'm still learning.
Haha. Thanks David! True sound studios are definitely on a whole other level that I'm not ready for 😜😂
Yep, sometimes that customer will say to his or her family and friends "hey guys, check out this cool little detail Keith added" and then you have MORE business.
Your cats are truly supervisors. Always getting in the way and looking at you like they know better than you..
Let’s hope! I definitely rely heavily on referrals, so I try to put my best effort forward on these extremely custom builds. And the cats definitely rule the roost, but I’m comfortable with that 😹
But hey, they do! Trust me, cats have great eyes for that!
No, they are "Su-purr-visors".
Just like when I renovated my townhouse ... I didn't have a Foreman, I had a "Fore-kitty". And she was tuff!!!
@@ELCADAROSA 😹😹
I really like the transparency of this entire process. From disclosing the actual prices to showing mistakes/corrections. Seeing the entirety of the project, with all the details is very interesting!!
Thanks Casey! Glad you enjoyed it and I greatly appreciate the feedback. Hope you are well. Cheers bud!
Thank you for having this in one single video.
It was a tight fit! 😜😂
Man, carpentry has always fascinated me. The things that can be accomplished through the shaping of wood is pure artistry. However, it always seems out of reach. Whether it's the amount of tools necessary to build something or the overwhelming amount of math involved, there's always been a barrier of entry to me. That's why I'm super impressed by people like you who _get_ it and are able to produce such high quality work. Hats off to all the carpenters out there making functional art 🙌
Thanks very much!
Perfect timing on this one because I'm going to be building a studio desk for Rhett Shull here soon and have been brainstorming on the rack mounted gear. Turned out awesome!
Thanks Johnny! Good luck with your build and I look forward to the video! Hope you are well! 👊
Fabulous build, Keith. Thanks for taking us along.
Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
Thanks man! 😹😹
As a carpenter of too many years i have absolutely no problem with your expert use of that table saw, its only the arm chair andys who have never built anything in their life who know everything about safety.
Amen to that! Thanks for the comment 👍
as an amateur music producer and woodworker, this makes me really happy. Beautiful result. I’m sure the client will get warm fuzzies every time they sit down to this for decades to come.
Thanks Sean! I'm definitely a little jealous of the setup!
A very patient Master craftsman. I love watching people who really know how to do things correctly. You're a rare breed.
Thanks man! That's very nice of you 👊
And he loves his cats.
What an insane amount of work resulting in what can only be described as an awesome built in piece of furniture. Thanks for putting in the extra work to film and share this on your channel.
Thank you very much for watching, Dieter! And thank you for supporting my channel. I definitely don't make these videos for myself! 👊🏻
I actually commissioned and built a LOT of audio and broadcast studios! It’s amazingly complex and a lot of fun 😊 looking forward to this video!
Oh wow! Very cool. I learned a lot on my first one…most of all what NOT to do 😜😂. Hopefully I get commissioned to build another one someday!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking
My 2 favourite projects was a 13 studio build with shared sound booths. I was the project manager and it ended up taking around 3 months. Client was very happy sat the end so happy days. The second was upgrading 2 radio drama studios. We wrenched out everything that was analog (I’m sure your client would be crying) and replaced it with a far more versatile digital solution. We only managed the technology so i wasn’t involved in the carpentry (and masonry, it was marble tops) but we had a lot of recommendations for cabling etc. I also built two of my own studios but they were no where near as beautiful as what you’ve done there! Well done! Looks great!
@@proaudiorestore8926 Sounds like very involved projects that require a lot of technical expertise. Cabling is definitely a major undertaking. The amount of firepower in just that little studio looked like something out of the snake pit in Indiana Jones!
What are your thoughts on the monitor speaker placement at the end?
WOW! This is like watching Rembrandt paint one of his masterpieces. Absolutely gorgeous. Bravo for a job well done. Thank you also for not shortening this video like so many You tubers do. I could have watched this for an hour or more.
Wow, thank you! So glad you enjoyed the full length feature 😜🙌
The unfortunate part about this build (and consider this a compliment) is that it is so precise, so consistent, and so clean that at first glance, it appears factory-made. Almost sterile. Again, this is more a "mind blown" comment on your skill set and precision, but a small part of me kinda hoped there would be some flaws to show this was all hand-built by one person! I used to work in yachts, and I would critique the wood finishes. I would often end up saying that it looked "so" good that it was difficult to imagine not having been manufactured by robots, lol, when in fact that was far from reality. Anyways, looks AMAZING! Cheers!
Thank you! There are plenty of small imperfections that I see that don't show up on camera. 😉
@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking well, they say that a good worker still (makes) mistakes, but knows how to hide them 😜 Great stuff, man!
Man
You can TELL the wealth of expertise you have, and the mistakes and challenges you avoid because of that knowledge.
Thank you sir! 🙌🏻
Love this comment
As a woodworker and a musician that desk is unbelievable! Absolute dream stuff. Lucky guy!
Thanks James! I'm not a musician, but I still want a desk like that 😜😂
Probably the most complex and beautifully done piece of furniture I've seen you do. Stunning
Thanks Professor! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻👊🏻
He was being sarcastic, Mr Bland. So plain, so dark.
Holy shit! As a hobbyist musician and woodworker I would LOVE to sit at such an amazing workspace to make music! Really nice work
Thanks Jason! That means a lot. Glad you enjoyed the build 👊🏻
acoustically this looks like a nightmare but that isn't your job. The craftsmanship is phenomenal.
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to deal with all the wires and cables 😳😂
This is an amazing project, thank you for sharing. One minor thing i'll quibble with - doing the extra mile for the fit and finish on your own time is absolutely a smart business decision. He'll show it to his friends and clients, and they'll know who to ring up for more work. A little extra time now means more business later.
Thanks for the comment! I do agree that most clients definitely appreciate the extra effort and it will hopefully reap rewards in the future. 🙌🏻😎
My man, that gold, knurled, Telecaster style guitar knob on the cable access door? Chef's kiss. _That's_ why guys like you get hired, re-hired and referred.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it as much as I did 😜🙌
Studio guy here. Thats gorgeous. Lovely work. Id never do the speakers like that though but its beautiful
Thanks very much!
Oh my, that desk light at 44 minutes is great. The rest of the show knocked my socks off too. Thanks.
Thanks Todd! Glad to hear it, man! 🤙🏻😎
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking do you have a link to where I can buy the lamp?
This video prompted me to join your site. Thought your foresight & workmanship was exemplary
Your views about cost v pride is an ethic exhibited by master craftsmen.
Well done and awesome result
Wow! That's so nice to hear, George. Thanks so much for the support. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful. I love your attention to detail and the emphasis on craftsmanship over business. Integrity is rare these days.
Thank you very much! 🙏😎
Jerry has a critical look in his eyes - as if to say "Well really - I would have done it the other way - But hell it's educational for you 😇." Jerry and Lola must assume that your entire function in life is making more boxes for them to inspect and enjoy. As a Video and AV producer I spent years in edit houses sound studios. This one looks great - It would be nice to see it in use.
😹 Yes, according to them, the world revolves around their furry existence. I'm cool with that. 😜
That cable solution is genuinely beautiful and honestly, I like it better than if it had somehow been invisible. That s great engineering.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that 👍😎
I used to design custom furniture like this in South Africa fifty years ago and had the distinct pleasure of working with brilliant craftsmen such as yourself. I can still remember that unique scent of freshly cut and finished timber in their workshops. We used solid imbuia and yellowwood a lot. Thanks for this wonderful video and for rekindling long forgotten memories!
That's wonderful to hear! So glad the video brought back those memories! 😀
Wow! I was surprised how much less this desk cost than what I would have estimated!!! I love this sort of bespoke work especially for something that is going to receive constant usage and attention. Your passion for this kind of work clearly shines through the video, really well made!
Thank you SO much! I greatly appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I did a solid mahogany gun room for an attorney and mahogany is cheaper
Than walnut but if you need 15 sheets 3/4 at 150 sheet plus nosing material finish etc. it was around a 20k room. And I built him a mahogany table
For the center to clean guns and he almost
Cried. It was epic
Wow! Definitely sounds like an epic build. Very cool!
Would love to see the finished product mate
As a musician as well, I absolutely love this workstation design and definitely am putting some of your cable management ideas into my current design! With 20+ years experience woodworking I'm always more interested in learning new (or old) techniques in processes, jigs, etc so I just signed up for the WWGOA subscription through your sponsorship! 👌
Awesome, thank you so much! I appreciate the support and kind words. 🙏👊

Awesome, thank you Jacob! I appreciate the sub and the kind words. 👊
Client “why does a built in cost so much” me: Watch this video and here is the number for the wood store, check the price for one 8 ft x 2” length of solid wood. Clients rarely appreciate the effort required to build custom pieces.
Very true. Adding up all the materials really puts the cost into perspective.
Wow this is beautiful... and honestly $22k seems almost low for that amount of work and level of craftsmanship. Outstanding attention to detail.
Wow, thank you!
Lola, Jerry, and Walnut…. Yup, I know where I am. 😂. Enjoyed it, thanks!
😂😹 Gotta stay on brand!!
Well said
Amazing result! Thanks for the heads up on the Woodworkers Guild of America deal. I made sure to take advantage of it :)
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
Beautiful work! I know people that would’ve charged a lot more for that so kudos to you for being a perfectionist and keeping the price down. The walnut and brass accents always looks so nice.
Thanks Gregg! With materials and countless hours of labor, it could definitely have had a higher price tag, but the challenge and experience were of great value to me as well. Cheers!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I can tell experience and satisfaction of accomplishment means a lot to you. You nailed it.
Awesome work! I love your eye for the detail like no visible screws. Certainly the ads up regarding the costs but in my opinion is way worth it!

Our rescue shop cat, Sir Hops-a-Lot, who has only two legs, spotted the famous Shop Cat Lola on the tablet. He meowed loudly, reminiscent of Jim Carrey's dog whistle scene in "The Mask."

Yesterday Jason released his “big project” and I ignorantly assumed that would be the biggest complicated build for the year and less than 24 hours later KJ sawdust 1ups him. Hahaha 😂
But really… absolutely stunning piece sir. Thank you for taking us on this journey.
😂 but i didn’t need to rent a Lull to get it in the house 😜. His build was definitely epic, though. Thanks for the kind words!
You are definitely the brains of woodworking RUclips. I would have no idea where to even begin on a project like this. Great work as always Keith!
P.S. I was a little worried we weren’t going to get a “total boat bayybe” after seeing the epoxy the first two times, but you came though in the end 💵
Thanks man! And I definitely waited on the TotalBoatBABY stinger until just the right moment 😜🙌
so much to digest, I'll be replaying this one a few times.
Thanks Steve! While editing, there were parts of the build that I had totally forgot...so I guess I needed to digest it more as well 😜
Absolutely staggering amount of fore thought on this one Kieth. Incredible job. It's beyond me how you were able do so much off site
Thanks John! This one was definitely a challenge!
That modular synth rack at 0:16 😳
Yeah. Pretty insane 😂
I love to watch incredible craftsmanship like this. Although it really makes me regret not taking this career path.
Many moons ago in school I loved woodwork and was very good at it, got top grades in my exams, then abandoned it. 😢
Well, there's always time to refocus your energy on woodworking as a hobby!
As a bald man I take offense to the amount of hair you claim not to have.
😂 My apologies, my good man!
I'm a little confused here, did the customer pay you $22,000 or $6,632? Cause if its the latter, then its an absolute steal, and way too low in terms of labor, if it's the former, then its way more reasonable and fair. Absolutely great job man! This level of attention to detail really satisfies an itch in my brain.
Former. Thanks.
No sound deadening, no bass traps or acoustic treatment and the speakers tipped in and facing the inner edge of the shelves - No, this guy is no audiophile! LOL
Great build though, very enjoyable. I can't believe how much money Americans spend on this stuff, I built my own studio for around £100 - but I did need to spend 30 years pulling mahogany out of skips! LOL Keep at it - loved the pedigree cat sleeping in the Festool box, I don't know which is more expensive! :D
It’s a work in progress…cut the guy some slack
Wow, that's amazing, a pleasure to watch you make this. The desk is fabulous.
Thank you! Cheers!

I’ve been following you for a long time now, and I think this was definitely one of your best videos. I love your attention to detail. I like all of the desk videos that you have been making lately, regardless of what Jason says in the podcast lol. at some point in the far distant future, I plan to build my own sit/standing desk and of course it will be made out of Walnut, which is my favorite species. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next video whatever it might be.

The details you put into this desk, are truly remarkable. I liked and subscribed to your channel, so I can enjoy more of your beautiful furniture making in the future.
Thanks so much! That is wonderful to hear. And thanks so much for subscribing...hopefully you enjoy my future build videos as well.
Beautiful work Keith. Totally agree with going the extra mile for clients. You do lose money today, but gain customers and confidence in your work for life.
Yes! Let’s hope that plan works 😜😂
My name is Keith. I'm a woodworker. And I have a grey cat. I feel like there's a glitch in the matrix. That said, I sympathize when you say, "Ah, younger Keith was so naive." Man, I've been there!
This project is incredibly in depth- and the impeccable results demonstrate master-level competence. I enjoyed every minute of just viewing this build. Learned quite a few things in your descriptions of the decision making process, as well. As a carpenter and general contractor who hopes to one day branch off and pursue my dream of fine furniture making… you’re kinda my hero.
Damn dude! That is incredibly humbling. Thanks so much for watching and the thoughtful comment. Best of luck to you and your transition to fine furniture!
Gorgeous work! As someone who has all his outboard studio gear in surplus IT server racks, it would be so nice to have beautiful custom wood cabinets like this.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it! 🤙🏻😎
As an amateur I am amazed at the precision you achieve with a tape measure. Incredible. Love your videos.
Thank you so much 😀 My advice is try and use the same one all the time since many can have slight variations.
I'm about to make a much simpler audio desk for my home studio. This gave me inspiration and fantastic ideas!
Great! Glad you found it useful. Good luck with your build!
Wow just wow, so detailed every step you take is planned and important. Wow
Thanks Ronald!
