Thank you all for the positive response. Though the Led didn't come out as slick as I like, it should be an easy fix. Thanks for watching guys. What would you like to see next? I do have a set of plans for this desk here gum.co/mGZU
I'm also on instagram you can find me here instagram.com/diycreators2015/
Nice build. Led strips can make things look less classy, but I like them. Maybe a thin frosted acrylic would give it a cleaner look. With floating shelves or desks I'm always scared of it not being strong enough, maybe someone will lean on it or something. Thanks for showing it can take a lot of weight.
A house tour! :)
Had another idea across the day:
how about a little build with mirrors? Something like "the houndred mirrors of awesomeness" with a little less catchy title of course. ^^
I mean, you surely find a piece of furniture or a spot in a floor or outside that could use a nice decoration, and glass cutting or any mirror work (such as mirror foil on wood)! (With or without the LED's xD )
Still waiting on that bookcase Glenn! :)
I love your content, you are one of my sources of inspiration to start my own channel, I hope my projects can progress to this level. I'm still learning but I'd really like your input / critique, I do DIY daily-ish Vlogs.
glen your projects are without a doubt the most professional I've ever seen. Keep up the good work
what?
You haven’t seen many projects then
Brother you should sell these shelves/Desks i think many people would buy these
And if you dont sell these some other people maybe will!So keep it up!
yeah.. absolutely right...
already this great guy is making a living out of it!... welll done and good luck!
The desk you built last year was amazing. This one here is really good. Now it is just hard to pick one to love. 😂😂😂 I love this project. And I love last year's table you made. You are just a genius. The tent for spraying is a killer. I never thought of that. You're just a special genius. I love the ebony stain you use. Am a fan of dark colours ever since I had eyesight problems plus it is also a modern look. Always looking forward to the next video. Absolutely perfect, Glen.
Rock paper scissor maybe? Thanks man no genius just a thinker :). I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
DIY Creators
You are indeed a thinker. Always loving your work. Hoping that one day I will be able to do what you do. I wanna finish studying first then we'll see what comes through for me.
You could man, That why I make these video the way I do. I want to instill hope that is is indeed possible. Years ago I was wishing I could do this. Just don't expect perfection every time. That's why I show my mistakes, because even though I picked up a ton of experience over the years. Its still my first time making any of these build I attempt. They are all prototypes.
DIY Creators
Wow, thank you man. You are such a blessing. I will surely take up this woodwork. God bless you brother.
Agree on using a tent for a paint booth- Awesome idea!
Pretty sweet project, i think the only thing i would change is recess the led light strip a little further down into the top so it cant be seen directly. That way it casts its light straight up the wall.
Interesting idea. I also wonder, how a surface like this would look without LED's and a set of spot lights instead, targeted at either the surface or one part of it or perhaps the place (here: the wall) behind...?
BLOCKED
That mature.
u could always put the led strip further down and put either usual acrylic glass (more light) or milky acrylic glass, no clue whether that's the right name that's at least the direct translation from how we are calling it in german :3
the milky/white transparent acrylic glass would be a more dimmed version
edit: read in the comments below that it's called frosted acrylic well good to know ^^
It’s not a word I use lightly - this project is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your expertise and enthusiasm through this really useful design and build project. You’ve really fired up my imagination for things to build around my place. Cheers!
I really like this video because the guy is so descriptive and he appeals to people who are new at diys (like me!)
If you're interested these are some great woodworking plans you could use: HootWood.com
Watching you build just amazes me.
Creative1 Jaydi Dreams On where you country.you are jaint bissnos me.my country of bangladish.
give me answer reply. or give your ph no.
Got my brother to take on this project since he has his wood cutting/lasers and all that other fancy stuff for his small business. It’s going to be his 1st floating desk. I’m so excited to get me desk in a couple weeks!
If you or your brother are interested in concealed shelves please check my video out and let me know what you think of it! I'm currently working on another style that I will have a video for once I finish
Awesome job. I like the way you take care with the details.
Oh my goodness. you're a smart fella! A tent to spray in is freaking smart!
Haha thank you :) it helps a ton!
I don’t have half the tools this guy has, figuratively or literally but his attention to detail and creativity is crazy good. Keep it up, I’ll keep watching
You really really LOVE LED's.
your designs are extremely futuristic
When installing led strip try to make I so that you cannot see the actual LED's. Indirect led lighting looks so much more nicer and installing them so that they face the wall and the light bounces of the wall. Just an idea to keep in mind. Makes a big difference, try it sometime. Nice desk and good videos keep up the great work.
I really like your videos. You don't use hard to find exotic woods or expensive tools, but you build some really cool stuff that anyone could do. My favorite part of your videos is your creativity in the way you get the job done. Nail heads to mark wood, camping tent for a paint booth, very cool ideas that I can't believe I hadn't thought of. Thanks for sharing your builds with us.
That came out really nice, Glen! Super clean and modern.
Thanks Carter!
This looks really good!
Unfortunately, it's probably a little too complicated for a lot of people to make something like this, but it'd definitely be willing to buy something like this. It looks so good!
I was wanting to ask for the tools but thankfully it was already laid. Thank you so much. I love building my own things. Two thumbs you for you buddy
You are a real artist and deserve more subcribers, keep up the good work!
Ps: gotta love the pocket holes:)
Thank you,
Yes, got to love them. :)
what in the actual Fuck are you babling about jordan.
Wow loved the video, I wanna build that desk... What I really like is your attention to detail and trouble shooting... It's a flawless project with everything thought out... It does not look Diy, but professionally designed and built and most of all its classy... Just love it... I dig your style... Subbed!
My family and i are moving out to our new house ad our budget is very tight when it comes to buying furniture, these videos are very helpful since we already own majority of the tools you use, I'm definitely going to recreate many of these projects for our new house. Thank you very much sir
You're a true inspiration Glen, you're a great creator! Thank you so much for all this content and teaching us so much.
What type of genius are you?
Genius carpenter.
legit elegant 32
legit elegant thats a good question
Every time i see his work, I am in awe. He does awesome work and further motivates me.
legit elegant He is what you call your unique creative genuis
All the little details that you put into the design, and the design in general, are what makes this an excellent product. Well thought out and executed.
I don't know why, but I feel really relaxing all these videos.
DJAK yes, he has a very easy to listen to calm and relaxing voice.
I love the build. For my need I would have put the LED light deeper and covered it with some with smoked glass. Good Job. You gave me some good ideas.
Glen, I really like all the stuff you do. Your attitude and demeanor is what an instructor's attitude should be. Of course, we all can't have all the cool tools you have to make all the cool stuff at once, but man you make it all doable. Kudos dude!
Thanks again Rick :D.
Always happy to get a DIY Creators notification. Awesome job as always!
Thank you :), that's great to hear.
There are levels to this game and you are on a whole different level. Cheers!
Pretty cool build. Very nice sleek look for just scrap lumber. Well done. I absolutely loved your use of a tent as a paint booth. I am SO STEALING THAT IDEA! Keep up the good work.
you use all the tool like pro :) love it
If you're interested these are some great woodworking plans you could use: HootWood.com
You sir have my dream garage, I would LOVE to have all those tools ready to go!
I came across your page by luck and so far everything that I have seen looks doable for some one starting to tinker with DIY project. Awesome jobs on all your projects can’t wait to see more thanks for doing what you do.
If you are interested in concealed shelves please check my video out and let me know what you think of it! I'm currently working on another style that I will have a video for once I finish
You did an AWESOME job. I love your work. You're so freaking talented. Very good eye for design and I think I'm going to use this as inspiration for my new desk.
I need to find a man like you! Amazing little thoughts that brought this project together.. New subscriber! Love from Sydney, Australia xo
This video popped up because I am looking at videos to build my own desk and I loved your video. You had very clear explanations and gave a lot of good alternatives in case someone doesn't have all those tools.
Wow that's cool, nice build as usual
Thank you
DIY Creators amazing !!!
I love the projects you come up with. You’re very creative. I’ve watched several of your projects and it’s great to see the progression of your creative ideas. Keep them coming. Great job and fairly easy to make.
One of the most professional video for all times.
I should have taken more seriously my classes of Woodworking & Technical Drawing in school!
Though with the price of all these tools displayed, material, etc; it must be a costly undertaking, an expensive hobby too!
This is a great idea to spray inside the tent! Thanks so much for sharing that! ♥ I love to spray big pieces, too, and my basement is always covered in paint dust :))) Now it won't be :)
That is really unhealthy, you should really have something to vent while painting. In our basement we took an old hood from over a stove and vented it out an old dryer vent but you could make your own you just need a hole in the rim joist with one of the flap vents to keep things out.
That all would be great if I owned :)))) But I rent. I think the landlord is going to really flip over if he sees me sticking some vents out of the house :)))) He already is unnerved by me with my mega sized craft project always going on :) For now, I am just setting the tent up next to the window. It is easier to clean one window than the entire basement :)
I've been watching your vids for the past hours and man, you're awesome! Keep it up!
U r awesome. I love Ur creativity. I love how u take time to explain all dat u do n even give options as to wat tools can be used. I learn from u d names of tools dat r use. U r a great teacher. I love dat Ur daughter is learning from her daddy. Am hooked on Ur vids.keep doing wat u do. All d best to Ur fam
You should start this as a kickstarter I would buy one
This, this this.
Not just this though, he should do an entire collection!
Here are some great woodworking plans if you're interested: HootWood. com
you should really start a home business, many people would love to have your furniture. But maybe not cuz maybe you just like to only do this for fun
Indeed he would make a great job. However, opening a business and being self-employed is a huge risk. If he was to get a sponsorship deal with a company for his channel, that would be already risky, although I wish him best of luck in getting that chance. But, as much as we like the videos, we have to accept that he has a private life AND all the obligations coming with it. I assume he would have fun with it either way though... ^^
I think it would be fun either way. I get to be creative and I enjoy all of it. I still work a full-time job but if that opportunity comes to take the next step I will.
DIY Creators Não tem como nao gostar do seu trabalho. Tudo muito bem feito. Eu acompanho a pouco tempo mas sempre estou de olho nos seus vídeos. Boa sorte no que fizer...
DIY Creators I was just thinking about if you started your own business and it got overwhelming you might feel like a machine and making furniture wouldnt be fun for you anymore
I get what you meant. When I stated if the opportunity present its self, i'm referring to funds mainly. I have to put a business plan together. I wouldn't dare try to do it alone. In a perfect world id make the first one then my team would reproduce. I believe anything is possible, so that's my long term goal.
fantastic brilliant craftsmanship and fantastic video production, writing, shooting, just everything! happy to stumble upon this.
For someone else considering making this, make sure your wall is the type that can hold such weight to support the desk.
Ya... I was wondering if it was attached to a drywall or a brick/wood wall.
Diego Novoa most home dry wall has wooden studs to support the sheet rock. The studs are usually 2x4 and strong enough for a desk like this.
eva2k0 in Europe the studs are mostly made of prefabricated metal frames, which I'm not sure are string enough to support a hanging desk even if you screw it to them
eva2k0 in Europe the studs are mostly made of prefabricated metal frames, which I'm not sure are string enough to support a hanging desk even if you screw it to them
I feel like metal is strong enough to hold a desk
You are a creator I like your work so much I am Mohammed from Iraq
محمد العراقي are you Shia??
I love these videos - my favourite DIY videos on youtube for sure. NOTE: I am a complete non DIY person, but I love the application of skill to produce such a finished, professional product. Always gorgeous work.
wow.so talented
fun to the eye , whatching this video. well done for using what god gave u!
I just found my new favourite type of channel. DIY channels must be the best thing invented so far.
" I couldn't buy one, so I made one! " Man, You are a LEGEND =D Loved your work ^.^
Protip, when gluing rubber cables like that, make sure your glue type doesn't react with the rubber and cause a fire. (y)
LetoZeth what glue would you recommend?
I'm about to move and my mom's boyfriend says he'll build me a desk! I'm super excited! It will help me out a lot for home work and planning!
why am I watching this I dont have any of those tools
i dont even have any wood or tools or money to buy any of this, but its intresting to watch.
Mr Krabs i have the pencil XD😂😂😂
Mr Krabs As if you're not allowed to watch a video when you don't have the stuff used in it.. You're a dumb idiot, and even more for asking that question out loud.
what a tool!
Because you see this as fun and it gives you a chance to see if youd like to do more. Then the cost of the tools make it worth it. I would set a budget for the tools after deciding what you want to limit your learning projects to and NOT go over.
Guy knows what he's doing
not really, hes glueing the bottom of his drawer, which is a stupid thing to do, when there is a lot of moist in the air wood will expand, due to it being glued and really tight in the drawer it will start cracking over time eventually
CrystallizedCrew || Commentator seems a bit unrealistic
definitely not you're working with solid wood, it needs space to expand and shrink, the glue is stronger than the wood it self causing it to break. glueing panels of a drawer is only done on big drawers and then only on some places so the bottom won't fall out when shrinking to much.
You don't get much wood movement at all in plywood, which he used in the drawer base. Because the ply's alternate, it creates a very stable product, unlike solid timber which is susceptible to wood movement with changes in ambient moisture levels.
he just glued it to save time, he could've easily used screws
Man, I wish I woulda had this video 5 years ago... built a crazy ass wall mounted desk and it was nowhere near as elegant as your build. Seriously, you made this so easy to follow and it looks perfect. Gave me a bunch of good ideas for my current desk project and I subbed. Thank you!
very nice desk mate
hidden compartments is why i came here.
nice work with your build. can i just buy your blueprints?
if availible.
itd be cool if you sold these blueprints online for ppl with an ebook to explain construction n give hints.
c ya
Thank you. I do have plans for this gum.co/mGZU
Great job, I enjoy your videos and inspired by your creativity. I would like to build something like this for laptop as well as personal protection hidden underneath. Very doable and economical.
Except for a sander, I dont have any of the tools needed (not enough space) but just enjoy watching you create. You do great work!
Satisfied!
When he said to be aware of the measurements so a gun can fit in the hidden compartments I realized I was watching an American do this.
@Marty Schrader we don't need them ;) i have never felt so scared i needed a gun. but i am english and we know how to punch ;)
@Marty Schrader yeah, but if us brits were armed we would kill each other even worse than you lot, we are dangerous with no weapons here haha. also you only need them cos everyone has one, vicious circle.
Nice build I apologize for the person who tripped out because he heard "gun" do what you have to do to protect the ones as you love. We just lost 22 people because they too felt the law would save them .... the law did not issue an amber alert they used Twitter !
yeah I was loving this video until the gun bit and then freaked out! hahahaha
It took you that long to realize that? 🐌
Waow, that is an amazing job! You have golden hands.
In France, we wouldn't hide a gun in this piece of furniture. I have no weapon in my appartment!
Thanks a bunch for that sharing. 😊
beautiful!
A but too intricate for me to do myself...but SOON as you start selling your furniture, I and my credit card will be first in line! LoL
Liked your build. Never sprayed paint in my shop because of overspray. Awesome idea of the tent.
Do it yourself and saw bunch of technical and expensive tools... damn.. I still cant do them coz I don't have those haha
You can get all the wood cut at Home Depot. All you really need is a cordless drill, pocket hole jig, drill bits, and screws. A few clamps would help though.
James Chua It will take you more time, but everything can be done with basic tools.
the salt is real.. you can do this without those tools it will just take longer.. chill bro.. im a dumpster builder
Yeah, at first I thought he was a Rockler Rep!! Well done though..love your creativity
You're just a punk without the balls to accomplish it.
I wanna desk like this. Will you make a tuffed headboard w/mood lights? Of course w/hidden drawers for my adult hide always. 😉
The replies to this comment are equal arts hilarious and disgusting
Ha ha ha! I'd say that you have quite a practical use of this desk!
True, a sensible place for our adult hideaways, male or female! :-)
Greetings
Ian Casey bro wtf ya need help
Wonderfully made Wall mounted desk. Your innovation is very good in very small space in the room.
Great desk. Had to laugh when you said you could hide a gun in the compartment like everyone has one. Very foreign concept to us down under 😃
remember folks, you can hide a gun also
Here are some great woodworking plans if you're interested: HootWood. com
LOL
Yash Gaikwad it went 0-100 really quick when he said that xD dude is an artist tho
Like hopes and dreams?
I believe he stated that already, and quite honestly it is a very good idea.
All your projects are so elegant. Thank you very much for sharing.
Let's be honest.. most of us watching this will never try this
Baxter Persse Why watch this then
I will. Soon as I'm done with my current project. But without the LED, not my cup of tea. 🙂
Same
I want to try it but my family is dont want this
Yes, cause we dont have tools
i could put my death note in this table
yas me too

Holly Ropata I could hide porn magazine collection
Old Skool Porn Collection Hiding Place lol
I don't think I've ever seen a woodworking video with almost two million views. congratulations dude.
Start A Business
"If You Are Good At Something Never Do It For Free"...!!!!...
karan motwani thats the different between busniessmen and DIYers
But he is making money through the video ☺
I was down for the diy until I realized my lack in tools 😂😭
Me too
for this DIY project all you need is a $20k workshop. was the same with that old TV channel with the dude who had every tool known to man.
I just started to work with wood in my free time. I’m remodeling my small space, and your videos really inspire me to get working!
I agree 100%. I am where u were 2 years ago and feeling is mutual👍🏼. Hope all is well with your woodworking journey.👊🏼
Blessings n safety to u and ur loves ones
this is good for me to hide stuff from my brother like my best legos
I would've put the LEDs a little deeper. Nice build tho.
crazy how detailed you are! It's so relaxing to watch.
not a fan of that led strip. maybe if it was a solid bar of light it would look like a high end product. but overall this floating desk looks awesome.
Shavone Granville you could make it a bar. Add a piece of frosted acrylic on top to blurt the light abut
What is it with you and those damn led strips.
George Maltsiniotis lol
The amount of detail on this small project is amazing. You used a lot of tools and I can tell you put a lot of pride on everything you do. Great job👍 on building instruction and video editing. Truly amazing talent man, looking forward to more DIY videos. Thanks
Hide my drugs in the hidden compartment
Someone will find out and he/she will call the cops to arrest you
@@romeruru the burglar that finds it is going to call the cops?
WOAHH
k9 dogs just smells it
Modern problems require modern solutions
it looks like good place to hide a gun. for just in case.
shit shit or drug shit
I admire the amount of attention you pay to details.
Thumbs up to one of my favourite RUclipsrs 👍👍👍
I can hide my drugs in this table
I FUCKING LOVE YOU!
dude, though this is the first time am commenting on one of your videos , nevertheless thought I should say this to u. you are very very honest about what you say and do. there is a kind of warm feeling that's generated when i watch your videos. best wishes
i love that it's minimal visually but still has enough storage! there's so much ingenuity here
I watch these videos a lot. Never gonna build a thing, don't have near the tools. But it is relaxing
Built a floating desk with nothing but a saw and left over wood, with no experience whatsoever.
I have a very small 685 sq ft apartment and this fit very well in my limited space. Very sturdy as well. I do a lot of reading, studying and homework, and it has held up very well over the past year. This was also a very simple build made with minimal tools.
Dude, I love this thing. It's perfect for my office. I'm going to mount it up high and use it as a book shelf on top, attach my whiteboard on the lower-half and the attach my personal calendar/planner on the hidden compartment so I can flip it out to make personal notes and mark important dates. Thank you! @DIY Creators
I'm loving this project! My wife and I are already planning this as one of our 1st projects in the new townhome we are moving into, to be used as my vape station! THANK YOU SO MUCH! KEEP UP THE GREAT DIY!
It's 2022 and your work still looks absolutely perfect! Love the ambitious spirit and the creativity..
Excellent - nice design, good build, nice narration - Thanks - Frank
Nice desk. I've been searching to buy one for school . To use as a laptop desk n homework. This is a great idea instead thanks! Keep up the great ideas!
I've never watched wood working stuff. This is mesmerizing.
I would buy this... Im thinking on doing my own... Not as complex, but as long as i can do homework on it. Great build
