  • Never tackled a project quite like this in my life. But I desperately needed a space to be productive, stay focused, and be comfortable working in. I definitely couldn't do any of this without the many DIY searches I found on here.
    Comment on the best desk accessories to get this work space dialed-in.

    I'm a carrer tradesman and also do all my own work. Thinking of building one of these in my daughter's room. Tremendous job on the desk!

    Great build man! Looks awesome. One tip for you on glue clean up. Take a wet rag and wipe as much of that glue off both sides while it’s still wet after you tighten the clamps. Saves a ton of time scraping and sanding after it’s dry. Keep building! You sketch stuff out just like me. Must be a California thing

    brrruuuhhhhh you have no idea how refreshing this was to watch, you actually made me feel like I could do this. Alllll the other vids i've watched people use so.many.tools. and make things unnecessarily complicated, I especially loved the jig part, like do I REaLLy N E E D to buy that?! ...nope, apparently, I don't LOL . thank you! Looks perfect!

    I am also looking forward to building my own desk. I have no experience in woodworking. I was doubting myself. Now I think I will be able to make it. I will be happy is my first DIY desk looks as clean as yours. Thanks for the video.

    We want to make one but 11 feet long for a married couples gaming room.
    My desktop is 50 pounds, and his is around 30. Then add our 4 monitors for a guesstimate of another 40 pounds.
    Should we still need to put a leg in the center for support, even utilizing our studs as reinforcement? Thanks to whomever has a helpful insight! ✨️

  • @antoineaustin9063

    Desk set up looks great! Question: how did you address the gaps in between the 1x6 boards? Did you fill them in? Sand the boards down? I'm thinking of doing something like this but for writing. I'm wondering what's the best way to get a smooth surface. TIA. Great video!

    • @ReneLopez-qc2vx
      @ReneLopez-qc2vx  Před 2 lety +1

      I filled any gaps with wood glue and saw-dust mixture. If you need it to be perfectly flat between the boards, I would suggest getting a planer (?), to get the whole table top flat. Then sand it smooth.

  • @krisclaudio7916

    Yo Rene. I’m about to build a floating desk and shelves with the same situation. I came across your video trying to find out how to handle non-flat walls. Let me know what you did and how you did it. NICE work bro!
    Y.I.L.A.D.

    How much did it all cost

    • @ReneLopez-qc2vx
      @ReneLopez-qc2vx  Před 3 lety

      IIRC, I believe I spent about $200-250 on just raw building materials, with paint and stain. More because I messed up on the first version of the upper shelves. Cost of power tools vary on what you already have.

  • @kellipedersen6066
