    The desk is a work of art. You've outdone yourself on this one.

    Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

    It's Saturday morning, it's raining outside, I've got my coffee & my toast and a half hour Bourbon Moth video to watch.

    The desk is fantastic, but I'm even more impressed with Craig's acting skills. The facial expression and body language when delivering ice cream is perfect. The receptionist ending was terrific too.

    I can say with zero hesitation that this desk is the sexiest desk I have ever seen. I would literally throw my desk out on the curb, after spending a butt load on it, to get this as a replacement. Love your videos!

  • @witchmouth
    @witchmouth Год назад

    Honestly? This desk is simply amazing! As a desk driver for over 30 years, this is a work of art that is nicer than any desk I have ever sat at. It would be a privilege.

    Are plans available to make this desk? I have a very special piece of teak that was once the lab tabletop of a very famous scientist.
    My daughter is a professor/ scientist and I am using this wood to make an office desk for her.
    Love your channel this dest would be perfect!

    I have to agree with you as far as the "Nicest Piece Yet" title. Don't get me wrong, all of your stuff is so beautiful, But this is something else. I love watching and learning so Thank You. Behind every good maker is a "Craig". Thanks to Craig as well.

  • @ben68442

    That a beauty of a desk. I have a love seat from the 70's with a very similar frame work design. Some old design features are indeed timeless.

  • @ThreePedalCollective
    @ThreePedalCollective Год назад

    My favorite thing you've built. More importantly, squarespace better be taking good care of you because that commercial was hilarious and amazing.

  • @martindouglas2745
    @martindouglas2745 Год назад

    Very nice. Lots of opinions out there. Here’s mine…You may be right thinking the wood movement of the boxes will be minimal. Still cross grain solid wood panels with no room for movement in the connection method is a recipe for long term problems. Bravo for allowing for seasonal movement when attaching the boxes. Good luck long term. Hope I’m wrong.

  • @keithwoodcrest

    Nice looking desk.
    Glues top and bottom on cross grain, wood movement nothing to worry about, then worries about wood movement when screwing drawer cubes into the desk.

    Prior to this, my favorite build to date was the pool chair inspired walnut coffee table, but I think this desk has taken the title. Easily one of the coolest pieces I've seen, not just on this channel, but all of youtube. Super dope big bruh.

  • @ReenTheBean
    @ReenTheBean Год назад

    The desk is stunning! You definitely captured that mid-century vibe!! You should turn the desk so it faces the outdoors, maybe on an angle off to one side. That's an amazing location with that view!

  • @thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549

    LOL! Like your ADD . Which is me. And I generally credit Murphy in my accidental design. LOL! Seeing your last video I purchased a Whiteside trim bit. Did the sneaking up on it as my band saw work was done with a 3/4 blade. Humor and info...well done.
