you know a video is good when you feel like stealing the entire project. That's what I want to do. Du är ett geni! By the way - podcast is in the folder.
I too was looking to build my own to save money, but after watching this video, I rather pay than to do all this. You are a master at the craft and I am in no way capable of doing something like this easily in a short amount of time.
I’m sure you could make one a lot simpler with some wood that was already square and planed on all sides and use that for the legs as well and you needn’t have a load of tools. I wish I was a master 😂 I’m still learning everyday. Thanks so much for watching
Thanks so much and I’m excited that you’re thinking about building your own. The desk mat was just a cheap one from Amazon and the desk top is a worktop from ikea
The desk is really nice. The only thing I would change is going with solid walnut for the riser to improve the aesthetics. I suffer from OCD and trivial things can become big annoyances.
@@SteveBellCreates I was thinking and looking at the shelf, the lower shelf level is kind of thin. Could you put a brace on the lower center area for more support? I was going to say a desk would be nice, but I actually like the layout and desk that you have. Maybe a nice arm rest for your keyboard made from different types of wood. I made a few our of scrap wood that people give me.
@@SteveBellCreates I use 1x4 (american standard) My keyboard has a 1inch lip on the front so it really helps. Most gaming keyboards are about the same.
Thanks very much. I 3D printed my drawers using a file that is available on a website printables.com just search for grovemade on printables and you will find them. You can easily make one with minimal tools good luck. If you don’t have a 3D printer a friend maybe able to help out cheers and thanks for watching
This is the best DIY desk shelf I’ve seen. Well done mate. Defo looks as good as those expensive American ones. However I must admit if you spent £30 on just glue and that small second shelf plywood. I think overall if you’re having to buy everything it probably won’t be that cheap to make. And grovemade do use premium materials I’ll give them that. Plus the labour as this does take some craftsmanship and mustn’t forget taxes. As well as other costs I’ve not mentioned I think it can start to add up. Although still I’m not buying one nor am I advocating others to buy, I can understand why they’re expensive now.
Thanks so much I’m glad you liked it . I only spent £13 on the glue I had the veneer for free but you could buy self adhesive veneer. The thing that bugged me was the cost of postage from grovemade to the Uk was so much. It for me it was worth my while to make my own. Once again thanks so much wor watching and your great comments
@@SteveBellCreateshaha yes it's on the list but it keeps getting nudged down by other stuff. I want to use some Ash which is a bit daunting as it'll be expensive and I'll have cant-mess-up syndrome
Thank you for this video! I really want to make my own desk shelf so this is really helpful. Is it possible if I could get all the measurements you used? 😁
Hi thanks for watching. My shelf is 23cm wide 12 cm tall and 116cm long. the top is 18mm thick and the legs are 30mm thick. I just used what I had in the workshop. Good luck building yours
I was looking for making my own desk shelf weeks ago. I've made new research about it and glad to find a new video about it ! How did you made these trays ? I would like to build same as yours !!!
Hi the wood was just scraps in the workshop and I was given the veneer for free the only thing I bought was the contact adhesive which cost me £10 and the filament used was about £8
It is one of coolest projects I have ever watched.... I will have to try myself but i know it will be a bit of a botch job, but it will be unique. @@SteveBellCreates
really nice my friend..... where are you based ?.... i live in manchester, and would love some guidance on making one of those for my studio.... thanks so much for sharing....
So talented and skilled. Jealous. It looks premium as. If I make one myself I would probably end up spending more than retail and a half decent monitor stand 😅
Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires. J'ai fait une vidéo de visite d'atelier mais je pensais que c'était trop ennuyeux, mes auditeurs de podcast pensent que je devrais la publier. merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé

Looks great. I love the green desk mat/dark wood combo; such a classy colour scheme. I’m inspired to make my own now!
Thanks so much and I’m excited that you’re thinking about building your own. The desk mat was just a cheap one from Amazon and the desk top is a worktop from ikea
Really looks great Steve ! I might have to make one for myself now 😂 loved the video aswell, brilliant story telling
Thanks so much Liam
Great job all round Steve 👏 👍
Thanks so much Glen
Solid job Steve! 👍
Thanks so much Peter
I’m very jealous of your office workspace. Premium comfort with a premium finish. 👊🏻
Thanks mate
Ahh Steve it looks so smart! I love it!
Oh thanks so much that’s so kind of you I love it to
Looks great, I need one of those!
That's a great looking desk improvement!
Thanks so much man
Looks so good on your desk! Lovely setup. ❤
Thanks so much Luke
Well done Steve, big fan of your videos and the craftsmanship you involve each time. 10/10
Thanks so much cheers
Very nicely done mate. This has been on my project list for a while now.
Thanks so much you e got no excuses now
The desk is really nice. The only thing I would change is going with solid walnut for the riser to improve the aesthetics. I suffer from OCD and trivial things can become big annoyances.
Thanks so much yes walnut would have been nice but I used what I had. I can fully understand the OCD thing
@@SteveBellCreates It really is a lovely desk.
Love the design and being honest about the total cost. Please do more!
Thanks so much what else would you like me to make ?

@sbfotome yeh it is perhaps 2-3 mm too thing and yes you could put a brace under the shelf
@sbfotome yeh an armrest it interesting

Nice project! I'm learning some things here.
Thanks very much much Jasper
Amazing work! I am going to try to make one with minimal tools, just was wondering what drawers you got for you shelf?

Great video, Steve, and that's a good-looking shelf. I need to make one for my desk....when I make the desk😂
Thanks so much Andrew yes get that desk built 😂
@@SteveBellCreateshaha yes it's on the list but it keeps getting nudged down by other stuff. I want to use some Ash which is a bit daunting as it'll be expensive and I'll have cant-mess-up syndrome
@AndrewMcQuillen ash is not the most expensive but don’t mess it up 😂
@@SteveBellCreates thanks Steve I'll keep it in mind that YOU think I shouldn't mess up too😂😂
Yes don’t FU
Where is the plant from? Looks great!!!
I got it from a shop in the UK called B&M it was only £4 bargain!!! Thanks for watching
Looks great! What is the material for the drawers at 13:55?
Thanks so much I 3D printed the drawers in PLA
Great job.
Thanks so much Claude
Good job Steve. I wish someone would post a really boring shop tour video. 🤣
Thanks very much Nial but be careful what you wish for 😂

This is crazy how much it looks like the real thing. How much were materials?

Beautiful work! Don’t have the STL for the tray you used?

Thanks Mark glad you enjoyed it. Sorry but I’m not making them to sell I really don’t have the time but I’m flattered that you would want one
It is one of coolest projects I have ever watched.... I will have to try myself but i know it will be a bit of a botch job, but it will be unique. @@SteveBellCreates
@@markockwell oh thanks so much Mark send me a photo when you’ve made yours
Is there a place where a workshop would allow me to use there machines like you’ve done and bring my own wood?
Of course
Right, Ive just brought all the tools & materials
1. Router - £870
2. Work bench a clamps - £500
3. Sander - £120
5. Circular Saw £240
6. Drill - £220
4. Materials - £147
Saved myself £400!
Grovemade, more like Savemade
They saw you coming when you bought that router

Thanks very much with regards to the shop tour have you been listening to our podcast ????

Yes I do It’s called three northern makers I did make a shop tour video but I said it was to boring but the podcast listeners want me to release it
@@SteveBellCreates I am French and I don't understand everything that is said.

Youra looks better then grovemades oe Balolo I would pay you 200 for this xD
Thanks so much
