My daughter needed a desk and as she has such a small room I thought a folding desk would be perfect. Even though it looks very simple it was trickier than I thought it would be but in the end it came out fantastic!
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I grew up helping my dad in his workshop. I learned so much about experimentation and resiliency from working with him. My daughter plays with the doll house that he made me. He died two months ago, and today would have been his 75th birthday. You've made your daughter more than a desk. God bless.
I know the same feel, even if this comment is late. I grew up 6 years of life with my grandfather, sorta took over my non-present dads role. We worked on all things, tractors and frount loaders, wood carving, wood crafts, etc. I remember my mom would yell down to the shop at night to get some dinner. Ya, it sounds like some Disney movie but it was great. He died two week ago, even up until a month before, he was walking g around with two canes making simple things like wood turned door handles. 🙂 this channel really keeps this hobby of mine going.
sorry for your loss.it's always hard to lose a beloved one especially when you had a strong bond.i exactly know how much it hurts.i hope that joy will overcome the grieve soon if you think of him and keep his memory alive.my dad died almost 4yrs ago by suffocation.i found him the next day.and that was the worst day in my whole life.i miss him terribly..but i'm grateful for all what he taught me and the things he did for me,even though i was an adult.i think to him i was still his little boy.at first i was a little bit uncomfortable,but he was always happy when i was there for dinner and spend some time together.i didn't want to take away his joy by doing dad-stuff 😁.i proudly can say that i had the best dad anyone can only wish for.big hug from a fellow sufferer.
Paint the underside of the desk with blackboard paint then it can be used as an easel or a blackboard. Or tou could glue on a piece of whiteboard to use markers instead of chalk.
Superb idea
Great idea!
We kept finding we needed a folding table. This is so easy to store. czcams.com/users/postUgkxStL0QRChBju4aQlnTrRgBZvafFog0KU3 Opening and closing is easy as well. It has a great handle for carrying around the house. Its pretty lightweight and slides around easy. We bought it for our daughter’s first sleepover. Breakfast was a blur - but 12 7-8 year olds fit at the table with room to spare. We used it at thanksgiving and 6 adults fit comfortably on each side plus 2 on either end for a total of 8. Super easy to clean up afterwards as well.
Finally a maker who is gentle and doesn't throw stuff on the bench.
Good job mr. Pask!
is that a jab at Diresta ?
Well done. Your daughter is lucky to have such a skillful father.
Very clever how you get 3 different uses out of the lid by holding it in 3 different positions. I've watched several of your videos and I've always been impressed by your skillful craftsmanship, but the intelligence of your designs has always been the thing I've admired the most. You get my full respect, sir.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement czcams.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I love this. The design is awesome and I love the way you did the hinges. Those pops of color really add to the whole thing too. Great job!
Super cool Neil , i think the laminate really made it pop and is a super simple way to finish the heavily used areas.
Your flair for design coupled with your engineering skills is killer combo Neil. Love it
Thanks very much Robert! :)
Love this! Really liked hearing how you solved all of the problems you faced along the way.
Glad you enjoyed it Jon! :)
This is such a wonderful gift. A memory she will always hold in her heart. ❤️
What a marvellous designer you are! You come up with such useful solutions to problems you encounter! And you do any job "properly", with attention to detail to produce the best finish possible. Nothing slapdash about *you*!! I'm glad your daughter loved the desk, and I hope she treasures it as especially made by her Dad. One day (remarkably soon!) you'll be watching your grandchildren use it. Thanks for sharing. ♥️
Man, watching your attention to detail every step of your projects and your efficiency of energy and just how clean you keep your shop are all inspiring to a carpenter who needs work in all of those areas. Thanks for your channel bro
Outstanding! I love how you show us the challenges you encounter and the resulting solutions. It's truly a pleasure to watch these videos. Keep them coming!!
Thanks Brian! :)
Great build. Love the dowel hinge system and all the storage space inside of it. Looks very solid as well.
Fascinating project to watch, love the way you incorporate some trial and error to come up with a solution to hold the lid straight. Beautiful craftsman ship, you got an additional subscriber!
The design and quality of the finish are so impressive. It looks like it could be one of those fancy pieces of Haba furniture.
Another wonderful project, well done Neil!!
Outstanding craftsmanship. Very useful and artistic!
Your creativity is tremendous! I really enjoy watching you solve problems...thanks for sharing
Amazing build! You always amaze me with every little detail and thought you put into your work.
You are such a true craftsman Pask. Even when you make a video of something I wouldn't ever need to do I still watch just to see how you get it done. So creative! Great work.
That is awesome!! And I always love when things have a double duty. Thanks for your time and effort.
Brilliant build! Love it :)
This was an amazing and entertaining build to watch you work through. Plus, this is something your daughter can use and cherish forever. She could even pass it along to her own kids someday.
Love the dual angle using the drawer. Excellent simplicity
Every project I watch of yours is instant motivation to keep pursuing the hobby. You're a great videographer as well. Thanks for the entertainment Neil!
I like your approach of the draw that acts as a spacer. Very clever. 👍🏼
The best part was thanks for watching 👍👏💚I loved the design 👍👌
Just fantastic! Thanks for sharing the process. Love how the drawers turned out!
nice colors, I love the bright solids together with the natural finish
What a lucky girl! I also had a very clever father and now enjoy my own workshop filled with many of his tools. thank you very much for the inspiration. Beautiful work!
Nice job and beatifull desk my brothers. Love it !
Just couldn't stop watching this from the middle. The building and all is so satisfying to watch. Beautiful!
Hey, Man. This was absolutely fantastic. I can feel the love you have for your daughter. The sheer power of your feeling emanates from your creation. 5/5 would watch again.
This caught my eye straight away. It has a retro look that takes me back to the 60s. A lucky young lady.
I'm new to your channel and just now saw this. My dad used to do things like this for my sister and me. It brought back wonderful memories for me and you are creating those for your daughter, ❤
Best woodworking channel on CZcams. Thanks for another great video
Brilliant job my friend, made with love always makes the job worthwhile and sometimes extra care taken and it also great to see the morticer come out to play. All in all, perfect outcome to a very handy project. 👍🏼😊
A fantastic design Neil, particularly the hinges and the stop for the folding part. Coupled with your usual excellent video editing - it's another masterclass in makery, I'd say :)
Thanks very much Matt - glad you enjoyed it! :)
Genius, again and again! Well done! Particularly satisfying to see you using the tools that you made in earlier videos. Well done!
I'm totally in love with this desk. Also with the laminate. My mum always tells me, that her first desk was laminated too and how nice it is to write on these desk tops. The whole desk is so elegant and simple shaped. But the process of getting the concept right must be a huge amount of work. When I make my children desks too someday, they will be inspired by this one. Thanks Neil!
Glad you like it Lennart! :)
Lovely design, just right for a little girl. I was constantly amazed by all the wonderful equipment he has.
love the build, love the result, hate the plasterboard fixings as have had real problems with that type and so binned the rest. I took a cupboard down to paint the wall - the fixings came with it and trashed the plasterboard.
I really like the designs you come up with and the way you tell us about things that did not go so well or where the design had to change. When someone with your skill hits problems it gives hope to the rest of us.
Great little desk!! Absolutely love the hinge!!
Awesome Folding Desk Sir. You are a great Dad. Also thanks for showing how you made it.
The kind of dad u wish u had.
Great piece of work.
Appreciation from Uganda - East Africa
I had other things to do, but it was worth spending the time watching a couple of video's! Thank you very much sir!
The love for your daughter actually had me watch more than interest in how you put together the desk ❤
That was a great video! Super cute at the end. I really enjoy your editing style, so fresh and informative
Pask. Like always, Loved your detailed video. Specially your own made center finder and the biscuit jointer. You have beautiful lovely kids.
Great work. Lucky kids to have a dad like you. God bless you and your family.
Who agrees that the best part of this video was his daughters beautiful handwriting?
I agree she does have nice handwriting! Nice job Neil! I kept expecting you to put a knob on those hinge pin like a clothes pin. What you did looks great as well.
perhaps not *the* best part, but definitely noteworthy and indeed one of the best elements in the video :)
Guess the best part was the father's heart to make something for his daughter..
@@bijukurian7 you mean thought! hearts pump blood
@@unit0033 smart arse you know what he means.
Ingenious! I was planning up an easel but now may make it a desk too.
I am sure she will enjoy it for many years to come. Great project. I enjoyed it.
Great project! Really enjoyed this- thanks for showing how you overcame some challenges!
You are brilliant!! Every small little solution you came up with was obvious with the benefit of hindsight: true mark of a solution that is brilliant in its simplicity.
You have outdone yourself with this project! Nice design and well built 👍
BOOM!!! another amazing build. I get excited when my notification comes from this channel.
Very creative. That hinge system is pretty genious!
Thanks for showing your trial-and-error. Allows the rest of us not to feel so 10-thumbed stupid.
Excellent technical execution that allows the artistry and creativity to shine.
Great respect for all the DIY tools. The Dremel mortiser? wow
No worries Len, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great design! Very well crafted! I do recommend screwing into the wall studs... The drywall anchors are good for sheer force, but not lateral forces as when someone sets something heavy on the desk. Looks and functions great.
I'm glad I found this video! The desk is absolutely beautiful, and your daughter is very lucky. You may have just inspired the design for my next table since I'm planning on replacing my current one because it takes up too much space. Also, the way you recorded this video looks so lovely and is very pleasing to the eyes and ears. I can't express how much I love your work but know I absolutely adore it! Great job!!
this video is absolutely amazing. i cant believe how smart you are, Neil! so creative!!!
Great design - Love the hinges.
I'm inspired by your seemingly endless creativity! Absolutely incredible build! Thanks for sharing
Really love your originality+expertise. Great channel.
This is an awesome desk! Thanks for sharing you builds. Stay safe and healthy!
That turned out great Neil and I you have a happy “customer” too.
The coloured laminated set it off nicely.
Amazing build and great penmanship, Jess!
Very cool! Simple is hard, and you pretty much nailed it.
I absolutely love the hinge design... I'm going to have to use that on something!
So I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past few days since I discovered your channel and I’m gonna make a bold statement here: I think I like your channel more than Jimmy Diresta’s.
What I love about jimmy’s videos is even when (on the outside) it seems like it’s going to be a straightforward build, he always ends up using some technique during the process that blows my mind and inspires me.
Your channel seems to have that same magic to it, but what sets you apart is your meticulous attention to detail. I also dig the way you problem solve and how your totally okay with trying something a bunch of times till you land on the design that is best.
Your work is massively inspiring, thanks for sharing it with us!
Well done sir! Happy to see your following is growing! All your projects are great and your logical approach to obstacles is inspiring. Thanks!
The hinges are brilliant, really good idea overall!
Wonderful work, Neil. Your videos and passion are always inspiring. I can't wait till I've got the time and space to follow along. Cheers, mate.
Beautiful design and execution. I'm sure the little lady loves it as much as you loved making it.
I would have loved this when I was a kid. I would have spent forever organizing the drawers. Cool project! Well done.
Thanks for doing something beside a tool vids but I really do love your tool vids, they have saved me lots of money on tools and I have learned new skills.
Really Love it. Great design and beautifully done. And your daughter's writing is nice.
Gorgeous. Your daughter is so lucky to have you as her pops. Wonderful video!
Love the hinge! Love the handheld mortiser! Love the whole thing!
Thanks very much Jeffrey! :)
This is amazing! I need to make one just like this for my daughter. So much inspiration from your design'
Brilliant desk design! Love the laminate colors against the natural wood....well done!
I've been wanting to make nearly the same thing! Thanks for the video!
Bravo j'adore ce bureau!!! Merci pour ce partage.
Well done, love the hinges, they look like old style clothespins ^^
That is amazing! Excellent job.
The "biscuit jointer" avesome and very original. I have a Festool domino.
This is absolutely fantastic! Great job.
You are amazing...! What a beautiful build!
It turned out beautiful! Your daughter is so lucky to have such a talented dad!
Amazing job as ever. Love watching your craft. Always incredible.
Amazing work. I just discovered this channel and I've probably watched twenty of your videos In the last few days. Really enjoying them. Thanks.
There's not enough people in this world that show their mistakes and struggles along the way like you do. It's an amazing feature of your videos.
Awesome project. So much more complicated than it looks at a glance. Very tasteful use of laminate. Man, that glue-up truly made me nervous!
Wow, excelent job Sr. I Love the craftmanship resulting on a beautiful piece with smart solutions. Great job.
well done! the creativity and whimsical solutions involved in this one were excellent
Great job, I am needing a small drafting table in my shop. I think a variation of this might be great.
Great build. Great dad. And your daughter has beautiful handwriting
