I’m an essential employee and today was my first day off in 2 weeks, I would love to see a desk this style but with a more practical focus (like shelves and organizers) as I head to college in August. I think it would be awesome if you could do some builds based around dorms and small apartments for us college folks that still like building. I really appreciate your channel as I started watching at 16, having no tools whatsoever, and today I’m 18 with basic tools that can do most things I need done. I’m not a contractor or anything but with my confidence built up from your builds I have started to help frame a friends house to learn more structural techniques with wood. All of what I know is thanks to you for planting that seed in my brain that I should start working with my hands!

The first thing I build was a couple of garden raised beds. I had no prior experience working with wood or using tools. The desk came out nice. A couple of mistakes here and there but the satisfaction of building something was priceless. I only watched the video a couple of times and did not purchase the plan until today. Without the tools, this is definitely a $50 dollar desk. Thank you DYI Creators for this tutorial video.

Hey... you did a good job on this - and learned some new tricks/tips for yourself as you went along. Thanks for including those in the video. The only tip I would offer - that you didn't mention... is wipe with mineral spirits before you apply stain. It will clean the surface - but what I really use it for... it will show you any glue or imperfections. It saves a lot of time from having to "go back". I learned a couple things from you... 22deg on the leg supports... and I would have NEVER thought of LED strips on a piece of furniture. I like what you did with the dowels and a simple jig, instead of a biscuit cutter. It really shows people you don't need a $10,000 shop to make some really cool furniture... just like you did for about $60. I harvest a lot of pallets for wood and make all kinds of stuff. Same principle. I think it was a good call on the white paint. It was fine bare... but better with the white paint. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Loved doing this build and putting my own twist on it by giving the front edge a 45 degree bevel and a light round over on the top. I also cut a fading 45 degree bevel on the front of the waterfall tapering wide to thin starting at the top. I also cut a slight angle on the waterfall leg, not to much where id lose stability but enough to give it a modern look. I kept the legs the same although i didn't do the angled 2x4 cuts in it, and left it simple. I also left it bare and just did several coats of Danish oil on that leg and the stretcher. I still look at this thing amazed i built it, and I thank you for giving me the confidence to give it a shot. I got lucky on the jointing as I don't have a jointer but used a large level to reference square on my jobsite table saw. I could of built this based on your video alone, but I spent the 5 buck because I love the work you do, and the knowledge you impart to others, and will purchase other plans soon. I have to constantly be building something, or I don't feel alive (not really but its become an obsession)

Hi Glen! What a great room desk for my teenage boy. I am a beginner to now intermediate DIY woodworking hobbyist. I decided to make this table as a challenge for my self. I made it slightly bigger then yours mainly in depth. I also added a shelf to it so my son can hide all his mess. My older tennage boys needs lots of room for his school work. If took my 3 weeks to complete. Worked on it for a few hours a week. I am so happy with the final result. My boy Damen is so happy with it. I was able to give his much smaller older desk to my youngest daughter which worked out perfect for her room. I will try to attach a few pictures of the journey and final product. Hope you can approve and give me a big thumbs up. I have been foloowing you for a few years now but this is my first post on your channel. Thanks so much for helping us DIY's out!

Great video. I took on this project. It ended up costing $125 with higher prices. Also, 2X12X8 was not available; had to buy two 2x12x10. Buying separate pieces, stain application was different. One piece is lighter that the second piece. No problem, has character. I had the circular saw, drill and sander. Did not have special jigs or clamps. So, I ended up using screws on the decorative leg and filled in flaws with filler. Used "L" decorative brackets to attached top to stained leg and screws for the decorative leg to top. Overall, I think I did a great job on special cuts. Thank you

Great video! I built a custom desk just a month or so ago, and I agree that its all about mentality and patience. Sometimes that wood glue just shows up! Glad you showed that hey, just keep calm, and keep working.

This computer desk you built is the nicest, and cleanest looking desk designs I've seen on all of the videos I've looked at. I really like how you keep things simple with nice clean lines. GOOD JOB, SIR.

Amazing video! Love the infographics of the “where you’re at” on the side of screen. It’s easy to see you take pride in being as informative as possible.

save up for a circular saw and some lumber and you can do a bunch of things with them, if you have screws

Bargain build, well done indeed. Only thing I’d have thought about was to route an angled slot for the led strips to stop them getting bashed.

I was thinking the same thing, however once butted against the wall the light would either not be as bright or you wouldn't see any light at the top at all, because the lights would be trapped inside the wood and the wall.
