Building My Dream Desk

Join me as I build my dream desk. I did my best to pull out all the stops on this project. It's hiding a lot of features including a water-cooled video editing (and gaming) PC mounted in a vertical drawer. The desk is made from solid walnut with waterfall ends on both sides. The drawer fronts are also solid walnut with integrated door pulls, making for a super clean look.

Awesome build Zac! Some great tips in there....making repeatable cuts, marking the drawer fronts, setting the slides....well done!

@ZacBuilds 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Chris! I do my best to keep things as informative as possible. Believe it or not, there were a lot of tips that ended up on the cutting room floor. I think this video was 2 hours long after the first rough cut! haha

This is an awesome build and exactly what I was looking for! My desk setup is aiming to be a bit more modular so I can move it around as needed so it won’t be as fancy; but the drawer idea is perfect for what I’m cooking up. Keep up the great work!

@dlaczegotakpowazny1474 3 жыл бұрын

You are a pure genious. Have been watching multiple DIY wood stuff, and you are the only one using your brain, not only expensive tools for every little thing. The way you use protruding screws and hit the wood, to stamp the mounting holes - amazing. The way you use just ordinary paiting tape, to mark and transfer any mounting points - hoo lee fook. Eneryone else is just forcing you to buy their useless "tools", and you just do what you love.

Really nice work, I love the big beefy top and the decorative stripe. I think you've certainly got a knack for design as well, really nice proportions! One suggestion, when you screw the plywood bases to the top, it's good to elongate the holes across the grain to accommodate wood movement (maybe you did it but it wasn't in the video). Nice work!
