Its always special to make yourself a project. You get it your way.. Nice job by the way.

Nice job. Really enjoy your videos 👍

Good job Wes ..

Wow, the top of your desk look like a Tigereye. It is absolutely beautiful. 👍🏼👌🏼

Beautiful desk! You are the Bob Ross for woodworking. Thank you!

This is the best teaching I’ve seen! Thank you for the explanations, attention to details, and demonstrations. It was all very helpful!

Really really nice! I love the quartersawn oak. Also, I’m an old guy, grew up in a farmhouse. All my friends parent’s had farmhouses. Had no acquaintance with any of this “farmhouse” style furniture that my twenty something daughter now likes so much. Somewhen, while I was busy with other things, a whole new “decor” was invented.

Fabulous work

That looks awesome Wes! Great job! Scott

Great build Wes! I really enjoyed the video, you have made a beautiful and useful piece. I absolutely love the oak top! in fact the whole desk is fabulous!!👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌

Great job

This guy is awesome.

👍👏👏👏👏👏

Great video as always. A few questions: 1. What was the top coat you used after staining the oak top? 2. Any concerns with screwing the frame down like that from an expansion/contraction perspective? It's quartersawn, so the movement is probably pretty minimal, but just curious. I like the edge profile that stacking the two assemblies like that created.

Great video! Did you use the pre-cat liquor to top coat the painted parts as well?

Great build, I have a client that wants a farmhouse desk with drawers, this video was a great help. On another note: I am in the process of building a kitchen island that I plan on selling, I am building the top pretty much the same way you did on this desk. It appears you screwed the top 2 pcs together, then screwed it to the base. Or did I miss something and you somehow allowed for the wood movement? I am at the point of attaching the top and trying to figure out how I am going to allow for the wood to expand and contract. ( I am using red oak for the top and the face frame underneath) Any advice on that issue would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Absolutely beautiful Wes!!! What kind of paint did you use for the white? I’m assuming it was a lacquer or something similar??? Again buddy, absolutely beautiful!! One of those would look fantastic in my house when I finally get around to getting walls up. Like you said, the builder never gets his house done but everyone around him looks like they live in the magazines on the newsstand every month and it’s officially gotten old!!! I’ve lived in my gutted out house with no a/c, no furniture, no insulation, no kitchen, etc, for five years but I’m back to working on it and I’ve got insulation in now and Sheetrock on about half the walls and I vaulted all the ceilings and have done shiplap on those so it’s really starting to look good but I’m just ready to be thru with it and I hope by Halloween I can put some furniture in and finally cook a meal again. Take care Wes, stay safe out there buddy!! Love your videos!!!

Great job. Please get rid of the music. Not needed

2 Things: A) It would be nice if you showed what the desk looks like in the beginning. B) My girlfriend cringes every time you reach over with your left hand to grab the piece, " He's too close to the saw, I don't care if the shield is there he should be using his right hand."
