I'm in the middle of a desk build myself.. I had some white oak milled recently, and am going to eventually make a desk from one of the slabs. In the mean time I'm making a "place holder" desk, to tide me over until the white oak is dry in about 2 years.. I have an ikea desk as well, and whilte mine doesn't squeak like yours. It definitely has lateral movement, it feels cheap and looks unprofessional when I'm video conferencing. Enjoyed the build, and I love the method of putting the bevel on the top with the track saw and a block of wood. So simple, but I would have never thought of that! So thank you!!

Nice job!!! Looks great! For jointing the edges when making the desktop, try using the in and out method before glue up. This is especially helpful if the wood sits after milling. Once you get your layout the way you want it, alternate marking the face with in and out. Take them through the jointer again. Which ever side is marked as "in" goes against the fence and the edges marked "out" will face away from the fence. Jay Bates has a great video on this. Much love and keep up the great work! ❤️

It looks great as expected! I made a similar design from some butcher black counter toos. Instead of using metal plates to join the two main pieces like you did, I used dowels for alignment and used countertop bolts to draw them together. The countertop bolts sit in a recess (a large, round bore hole) and allows me to very tightly draw the the pieces together to eliminate any gap between them. They're essentially permanent clamps! I have had that desk for a couple years and in a couple different houses with very different climates, and wood movement has been a non-issue.

I have actually never bought a desk myself, always made my own custom to size and for the room. The one I am using atm is full size all across the wall right underneath a nice window. Anchored to the wall, as well as using proper legs. I can literally stand and jump on it. This time we actually decided to use laminate floor planks as a top. They are extremely scratch resistant and they can be very easily replaced by some new ones while keeping the desk intact! Anyway, looking great Keith! Love the finish as well! Very satisfying projects to do in general 😃👍

Looks really nice mate. N8ce contrasts. The more you remove from your stock, the more likely you'll get movement. That's probs why the gappy edges I've no doubt. Can make material go bandy sometimes, removing that much. Best done in stages if you have the time, so the stock can aclimatise. With you on wetting the grain first. Pointless. Lifting it with finish much more likely to fill the paws which means your next coat won't lift the grain again. End of my waffling.👌👍
@RagnBoneBrown
@RagnBoneBrown 2 жыл бұрын
Good points! Yeah I won't be doing the grain wetting method again, a few people have commented how I should do it multiple times and sand diagonally rather than with the grain, but just applying a coat and denibbing seems much easier and quicker to me 🤷‍♂️

As you've now experienced in this video, a regular butt join to make an L shaped desk top isn't the best way to achieve a good result. This is a problem kitchen makers have resolved decades ago. Use a kitchen countertop routing jig to route the edges that need to meet. It creates a profile on each edge which causes them to automatically self-align perfectly in the corner. Then use kitchen countertop connecting bolts (only 2 needed) which allow you to very easily and reliably pull and hold both boards together (still use dowels, biscuits or dominos), AND will allow you to still compensate for expansion later on when the boards settle in your office (don't glue them!).

Beautiful bit of Beech. I've just made a live-edge Beech desk with purple resin infills. I've got loads of slabs from the local country park estate, but sadly they'd been outside too long un-protected and some have some deep black water staining. They still mill-up okay but not as good as your ones. Have to router-plane them considerably to get them looking decent, fed-up with the 'black bags' of dust so now installing a wood burner in the 'shop!

Nice video - partucularly timely for me as I'm to the process of making a maple desktop to fit on a set of motorised standing desk legs. I love the colour and finish on maple, but it's a very hard wood to work with. The biggest challenge was milling the rough cut maple boards into jointable wood. The boards are about 1.8m long, and my jointer always seems to end up creating an inward bend with a piece of wood that long. I could relate to the amount of shavings you had at the end of milling! Question - wood movement, is it really something we need to worry about? There seems to be a lot of different opinions.

Thanks Martin. Re: wood movement - some say it matters a great deal, others say it doesn't - I sit somewhere in the middle - if the boards are wide (like these desk tops which are 500/620mm) then I will always account for it because otherwise likely to get cracks, or pops. A lot of it depends on how much moisture is in the wood to begin with though. Mine are dry but as they were stored in an outbuilding I expect they will shrink a little now they're in a heated home. Time will tell. I made a mahogany box with dovetails on my channel once, and lots of people said that movement would be an issue on the top panels of that box. I suspected it'd be ok as the panels weren't that wide - and it still looks perfect years later! I don't think I've ever had any maple to work with, sadly! Unless I used it somewhere but didn't know it was maple, which is possible. I do love how it looks though. I know what you mean about planing long boards, it's really tricky without another pair of hands!

Great design and build! Really clear video that's easy to follow, thank you! Did you consider kitchen worktop clamps routed into the underside? I am curious about how long you can leave the varnish in the spray gun before the next coat or if you have to empty and clean it between each one - anyone tell me?

Worktop bolts would be a good solution. With water based varnish, it can be left in the gun for a few hours between coats is fine. Anything longer than that (overnight for example) and I clean the gun

youtube woodworkers go on way too much about wood expansion... the wood has been drying for 15 years and you've gone on about it as if its still green -.-

Still need to account for seasonal movement on boards this wide.... Besides it's been stored in an outdoor building for 15 years+ which is VERY different to the wood being in a heated home

I don’t wish to offend but the new podcast sounds like a speed talking semi final. Sorry but had to give in.
