- 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!
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
@@ZacBuilds holy cow! That's a lot of footage
@@ZacBuilds Please do a "deleted scenes" with more advice, terrific video!
Carrey nice😂
How do you only have 45K subs? this channel deserves 10x this. This build is awesome!
Forget the desk, that chair is beeeaauutiful...
the desk is literally the whole point of the video
all about the chair has an EAMES vibe to it !!
but where do i get one like this, or did he made the chair himself, and if so how?
@@Nardrajl92 I’d like to know too lol
i think this is the one www.eurway.com/concord-office-chair
Im just getting into woodworking and I really appreciate the care you took to make this. Its so neat and clean!
Thank you! It was definitely a labor of love 😀
I'm a caprentry student from the Netherlands and I really want to build a desk for my masterpiece next year, this is so wonderful
Nice desk man. Its nice to find a diy're on youtube whose into woodworking and computers. Will have to check out more of your projects.
I have seen a lot of builds and setups, you my good sir have left me in awe.
Holy crap, this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time! You even welded the legs from scraps! Beautiful desk :)
That’s a great looking desk with clever storage. I really enjoyed seeing how you built it, and your great workshop. Good luck!
Thank you John, always appreciate your support :)
So far this is the best quality build i have ever seen .. such refined carpentry
Long video? Are you kidding? That was worth every minute.
Thanks William! People say you have to make short videos these days but I'm going to keep making longer ones for the people out there who appreciate the more indepth videos.
Beautiful desk. Very functional as well. I love the integrated PC. Great when upgrading it!
Fantastic build! The desk is absolutely beautiful.
Much better than all those look-a-like Ikea setup,Ikea is fine for most folks,but nothing like individuality in your own desk pc setup.
Thanks! I've had a lot of Ikea desks in my day, and there's nothing wrong with them, but I really wanted to challenge myself on this one and do something different. I spend so much time at this desk, it's worth it to really set it up just the way I want. Cheers!
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!
That's a beautiful desk, really impressed.
The screens not being level kinda stole my concentration for a bit, but the rest of the time I was all into this great build!
Hi Zac, I love your computer table, following the grain onto the sides (waterfall ends) is a nice feature. Stunning wood walnut and looks like a $5000 table. Thank for sharing
Love the set-up. Totally my style. Love the chair too.
Love discovering more Canadian creators and wood workers!
Fantastic Job. Can't believe the production value for such a small channel! Well and truly subbed and can't wait to go through your catalogue now.
To have all your equippment and such a huge workshop is a living dream for me! Nice video!
Amazing work Zac! The desk turned out amazing, looking forward to future videos!
Thanks Jake! Just putting the final touches on my next one now 😀
This is the coolest desk I’ve seen by far
Great desk! I love the Ash strip!!
Thanks buddy, couldnt have done it without you there to help me lift it :)
Living the dream.
Zac this build is just unreal! Absolutely B-E-A-U-TI-FUL!!!! Well done!
I really enjoyed watching you go through the process of building your desk! My hope is that one day here in the future I'll be able to have a workshop like yours of my own! Can't wait to see what you do next!
Bravo, mate! Well done!
Amazing build. As an amateur DIY'er, this is the level of construction I aspire to reach.
Thanks Larry! It's all about practice and just getting out there and doing it. You'll 100% get there if you stick with it.
Oh... Damn. That is one beautiful desk. Even the chair is amazing. I love this guy.
Yeah man! You did a great job!
Gorgeous desk! ♥️
Zac your builds are AMAZING. Inspiring for my own channel and builds. Thanks for the high effort stuff man!
Zac has given me a new love for walnut.... walnut looks so classy!!!
Also that coat used during welding was dope.
Awesome build! Looking forward to see what you do with the keyboard tray.
Thanks Ryan! The keyboard tray is done and I'm currently editing the video! Should be out real soon :)
Great work!
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.
I really like the tip for the for the drawer front. Nice job man!
Thanks bro! I've tried a lot of different techniques and this one seems to work the best for me
Nice one, it looks awesome! Nice tip on mounting the drawer fronts.
Thanks John, I've tried a number of different ways over the years and thats definitely my favorite so far!
nice speaker boxes that match too. great space to work / play
That was amazing! This is the exact kind of furniture I hope to get proficient in making! I’ve already made a few pieces that I’m happy with but this is my style almost exactly! Loved it! Also, I’ve never seen your videos until now and I subscribed on the first one! Solid.
Wow! You're so underrated and under appreciated. Great desk - That super wide drum sander is a life saver I bet.
Thanks Isaac! It really is, I wouldnt trade it for the world at this point haha
Nice build! I love this desk and your setup!
Realy nice! Beautiful and smart desk!
Fantastic, Very good
Your desk looks amazing! It turned out really great. We love everything about this build. Subscribed!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words :)
I've been imagining doing something like this for years. Well done.
Awesome build....great job!!!
Oh man. This looks awesome!
I love how clean & organized you keep your shop. Beautiful desk I love the style! I am always jealous of people who own drum sanders! :)
Cool ideas galore - thx!
Love this build!
wow... just wow mate, this is an epic build, thanks for sharing 🙋🏻♂️👏👏👌👌
the most beautiful desk I've seen, thanks for the inspiration
Really beautiful.......clever lad.
Gorgeous desk and great video! Nicely done!
My favourite video so far! You are becoming quite the natural in front of the camera. Loved the way you edited this one! Keep it up!
Thanks Martha! I definitely feel _more_ but it's still something I'm working on. I really appreciate your feedback, it's nice to know others can see the improvement I feel internally :)
stunning.. amazing.. wow..
Very cool 👌
I can sense a new desk setup video there @Matt!
You have a big diy desks family Matt !
Nice desk, helps when you have the room and kit to fabricate yourself but I like the final design, the waterfall effect looks really good.
The finish is perfect
Very nice, reminds me of old audio/video cabinets that were used for TV, radio, stereo combos.
Ya I very much wanted it to have a slightly retro feel with that air intake cut out!
wow! Really nice work, mate
Great work! Really enjoyed this one
Definately learnt a few things will be trying something similar in my next project..great video!
I love the desk and looks beautiful but in my opinion, as someone who works on his computer every day, I would ditch the keyboard drawer and lower the desk a tad so it's at a good height for the keyboard to be on the top of the desk. I'm definitely going to do something similar when I remake my desk.
It's really awesome!!! No words to describe it!!!
Dude, this is fantastic. Great work. I built my own desk too but out of MDF, would love to do something with hard woods at some point.
awesome work👍
Did not think I'll ever watch a 20 minute video of some dude making a desk. Good video and the desk is awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Haha well I appreciate you sticking through and watching it man.
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!
Man, you are a WIZARD! What a beautiful desk! I also really love the wood! 😍 Well done! 😎
Wonderful 👏
Dude! that's a nice rig you have there. And that chair looks just GREAT!. Thanks for sharing, man.
I live in a area near to the sea and the amount of sea breeze is just ridiculous. A desk PC hardly survive 6 months when you place it in an open area in the house. So I plan on making a desk similar to this one in a place where the I control the air flow and place some dehumidifiers in it in a year or so In Sha Allah. Thanks for sharing this project.
Great Desk great job
Man! Your desk is just f*#^*ing beautiful, but!!! Damn those desk legs don’t do justice for the desk!
Besides that, veeeeery beautiful setup
Man that is awesome zac, nicely done really like how that turned out and great build, awesome video too man.
Thanks Justin!
Awesome Desk!
Dude, this workbench is insanely organised! Never seen something like that bevor😅 Such a great work, very well done!!
amazing idea
Man, that is a seriously beautiful desk!! I love the integration of the PC within the desk. I need to build a new desk as well and I thought about just building a small matching cart to set my tower on to save some room on the desktop and still let it have proper airflow. Speaking of, the vents on the front look great. I wonder if it would be beneficial to add a removable dust filter behind the vent. Great job, Zac. New sub!
Wow, sorry for my slow response!, don't know how I missed this. I really appreciate the kind words!
I didn't include it in the video due to time constraints but there actually is a dust filter that sits between the front of the drawer and the front of the rad, so we are definitely on the same wave length there :)
@@ZacBuilds perfect! That's awesome man. Now that you've been using the desk for a while, is there anything you wish you would have done differently or something else you'd want to add to the desk? -Joe
Subbed! Very well done.
The term 'wooden pc' in online pub matches will hit differently ☠️
Good job boy 👍
Wow! Really good craftsmanship!
Thanks Klint!
Ok. Randomly recommended video and I have my new favorite maker channel. Amazing job, stunning result and a great video! I'm sure this channel is going to blow up soon.
Dude, Igor, thank you so much man! As someone whos just starting out on CZcams I really appreciate that. Thank you!
You should really have more subs. Really beautiful and awesome desk
Thanks Janie! I'll do my best to keep putting out quality content, and hopefully the people will find me. Word of mouth helps to if you have any friends who might be into what I'm doing :)
WOW! Incredible video man! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
As a practicing cabinetry wood worker, you've done an absolutely fine job here.
Thank you!
Love your videos!
I was recommended this video specifically for the Drawers you did. Love how simple you install looked going to attempt to make my own desk but I plan to Intake from the back wall and exhaust out front. I have pets so I dont want them to rub against the grill or front of the desk and find half a husky inside by RAD grills
lovely looking desk.
great job my frined!
awesome bro!!!
Потрясающая работа! Мужик, ты молодец!
good work Zac
Great clean work brother.
Amazing work, man. Keep it up!
Thank you! I'll do my best :)
