For the mouse problem, I would recommend a large full size gaming mat (the kind that covers your whole keyboard and mouse work area). Your mouse will work perfectly, and you will reduce wear on the desk surface. It will also give you a nice soft surface to rest your arms and wrists on. I have a standard desk but never regretted buying one of those mats.
Pro decorator here, and your approach with B-I-N primer is absolutely correct. Just use a knackered brush like you said, or a crappy disposable one from a pack in the pound shop. Don't even bother trying to clean them, it's a complete waste of time and products.
Now you're using matt paint I'd suggest perhaps giving the walls a coat of decorators varnish. It doesn't change the sheen of the paint too much at all but it really helps with minimising marks on the walls as they now would be wipe clean.
Love Zinnser bin. Cleaning brushes is fine with Methylated spirits. Just swirl around in a small jar of it, then take out. Will always be some left i the middle of the brush, but when dry is brushes out into a bit of dust afterwards and brush is typically good again. Also can thin BIN with the meth a little which can stop it drying quite so fast. Still fast, but a little more working time. Use BIN on knots all the time to seal before painting.
Hi Keith, As previously mentioned by Sarah,you can clean your Zinsser brushes with meths, however if you get a suitable container that is airtight, put your brush in there with some meths, wash the brush in the meths,then leave it standing in the meths.I struggled to find a tall enough container, but eventually used a “ Vanish” fabric cleaner container. I managed to buy a short handled brush from Johnstones, which fits perfectly. This method means you can use decent brushes.If you check the brush every month or so, they will stay soft for months if not years 😀
Hi Keith. I'm a professional decorator and use zinsser products a lot as they are superb. The best cleaning solution is the proprietary bin cleaner zinsser produce, but best (and cheapest) solution is just store the brush in the tin. My current zinsser bin brush is approximately 2 years old. Really enjoy your vids and if you have any decorating questions/issues don't hesitate to ask and I'll be happy to help. I also live in Norwich.
A great build and finished off beautifully by those handles. You should have done a separate video about you security system. That would have been interesting but do a video about sewing curtains. I am sure we will learn something.
Keith, the completed desk looks great in the room and the new green paint that you've chosen for the walls is indeed an upgrade. Thanks for sharing this build process with us.
I'll admit, when I first saw the video title, my first throught was "oh great another maker who got sent a free standing desk frame that they made a video out of adding a top". I am glad I was wrong, another great video! A tip I used for my large desk to allow cables without smashing, I got some rubber feet that have a hole in the middle for a screw, and put two of them along the back edge of the desk, and the took a stick on felt pad to put over it after screwed down. Keeps it away from the way a consistant amount (am I OCD lol) and less likely to mark up the wall from rubbing. Have you thought about doing a video on making your videos? I for one like watching those as I'm just getting back into video editing after 15 years since last doing it.
Cheers. I've done a few videos like that already. czcams.com/video/cOHJaCbmP3Q/video.html czcams.com/video/zZby5S6Ac3w/video.html czcams.com/video/OBxDKOIkyWk/video.html
If you've only come here for Dylan skip to: 00:15 (you can't catch me out with time lapse that easily); 00:23 (awwww, watch this bit frame by frame, it's properly heart warming); 07:07; 10:35 (Dylan gets bored looking over Keith's shoulder); 11:23 (Dylan is still bored); 12:16 (Dylan on security camera - he's a cat burglar); 12:46 (back to bored Dylan); 12:59 (Dylan's reflection on the monitor. You can't catch me out like that either); 13:09 (Dylan wants to know how much longer you're going to be ignoring him); 13:34 (Dylan being bored from a different angle). Well that makes up for the occasions when Dylan doesn't appear. The office is looking good and I also like that you bin your bin brushes :D
Loved the old colour green, as well as the new one! Classy! ooh, and those brass handles are nice, too. And yes, a video on soundproofing your room would be interesting, Keith!
I always remember a jimmy diresta tip for paint brushes. He cut the handle short and left it in the tin. The next time he needed to use it he opened the tin, grabbed the brush with mole grips or pliers and painted with the mole grips as the handle
Hey Keith, your desk is beautiful. I've loved joining you on your journey from polishing up bits you found on the side of the road to this top quality bespoke desk. Keep up the good work :o)
Hello Keith. For Zinnzer brush clean use Meths. In fact, if you have an airtight container that takes the length of brush, leave it in with a little meths so it is ready for use and just pat dry ahead of using, For cutting in get used to using a three inch brush (Purdy are good for this) and just angle the brush away from (say) skirting. You will soon find you get a cleaner edge. Those sash brushes give you a blobby cut in. Same goes for cut in to ceilings etc. Bob ( Somerset) "Where the cider apples grow.
Keith. I noticed in the clip when you were fitting the camera outside that you have a 6 or 10mm t&e via a catenary. t&e isnt really meant for out side use as uv degrades the palstic. you might consider covering it with a length of conduit but obviosly that will mean disconnecting one end
The desk, the handles, the wall paint, it's all stunning! What a makeover! Nice to see Dylan too, as usual. 😉 As far as another video on the office, yes please! Show us the journey to a dream space, INCLUDING your best shot at sewing! 😂
I’ve used a corner desk, the same one, since 1995. My keyboard centered in the inner corner keeps my mouse on its mouse pad. Maybe just get a mouse pad that covers the gap. I’m using a very old, early 2000’s, aluminum sheet with a mouse friendly surface stuck on it made by Razer. Maybe you’ll fin a mousepad you fancy too.
Clean the Zinsser bin brushes in meths as the first step then warm water and washing up liquid. A water based solution to powdery surface or somewhere that need stabilising is Zinsser Gardz. Brilliant stuff
I installed Annke cameras at my Grandfather's house and they've been running for a few years now without a problem! I went with Ring cameras for mine as they were on sale, and I already had the doorbell and alarm, and have either Echo Shows or Fire TVs in every room, so I can watch from anywhere. I was already paying a monthly fee for the doorbell, so it wasn't much more for unlimited cameras
Wow, desk is awesome, office looks great, Blue Yeti microphone is awesome, cat is adorable. Guess that says it all. Seriously, love the desk and that hardware was well worth the wait and expense.
I would have LOVED a whole video on the camera installation, as I'm planning on installing my own cameras and I'm sure you'd have some good tips and advice.
Very good. Love Both of the greens but understand why you changed. How about a nice old Chesterfield sofa? I nice dark leather would finish it off nicely and help muffle the sound. Love the cctv too so thanks for posting that. Hate the thought of paying a monthly subscription to protect my own house. 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The desk looks great, love the dark sapele against the beech. Just a word of caution though, at 3:27 it looks like your metal dimmer switch isn't earthed
Methylated spirits is the only thing to clean it, as a decorator I get the cheapest crap brushes and throw them after, or the cheapest sponge rollers. If you get any more issues try some zinsser peel stop, that'll do the trick for anything flakey or powdery. Would of thought bin should work though. Great work
Agree with Sarah, as you know Keith, shellac is the basis for French polish and so meths also used in French Polish is the solvent to clean that paint, which happens to be the dogs dangles in my opinion.
1- love the desk - my personal choice, id have went for a chrome or brushed steel finish on the handles 2- not my colour for walls lol dont like anything green 3- would recommend an XXL gaming mouse pad - i use one and it covers a good amount of my desktop 4- we got an Annke CCTV system installed earlier this year. would highly recommend them
For once the Facebook algorithm worked. Watched a few of your clips and went hunting for your CZcams channel. Love the content and the high level of detail.
Have you tried white spirit? Really like the "English green" on the wall man. You could make a 10 mil hole in the desk an cover it with a plastic cap meant for cables
The desks very striking Keith with the contrasting timbers, it's well laid out as well. It's looks ready all set for business with the three monitors powered up in place. Tony
Great video. Beautiful desk. With the triangle joining piece where you sit. Could you curve (semi circle) out the side that is close against your body with a nice smooth jigsaw cut? Nothing too steep but could give you a couple more inches and feel a bit more spacious?
you could ask some woodworker to add that inner corner strip, to get it exactly the way you want :P [or else just get used to it like I got used to my piano X-stand getting in the way for my knees, just kidding :: I will make my own piano stand very soon, as I can't take that X-stand] I like to put the large cutting mat on my desk, so that my sweat is not damaging the wooden top (I live in tropics), and I can cut stuff right on my desk (opening packages and what not) the desk turned out remarkable, and that brass hardware is spot on too
Incredible job! I love this desk! Those brass drawer handles really take it up a notch. For the short corner issue, I’m wondering if a piece of the accent wood (sapele?) could be added as an extension.
The desk looks great, Keith! Nice work and attention to detail. For any other current or potential Nest Camera users out there, be aware that Google’s latest Nest units are NOT compatible with the older ones, despite being sold under the same name. They use a different app (which isn’t as convenient to use), have no web interface for desktop access, and the image quality also appears poorer, though still quite good. I was dismayed to discover this when I picked up a new one to add to our three existing cameras last week.
On your previous video, I commented that perhaps the desk was one of your best builds. In fact, having seen this video, I think it is the best thing you've made. Just my opinion. The office/studio looks great. Lovely work. Great to watch this :)
Love the vid sir. Always interesting to see what comes from your channel. An unsolicited thought regarding your sound deadening options if I may? What are your thoughts on "decorating" with tapestries instead of cloth? Finding ones that are intriguing and artistic would add some contrasting colors and visual interest and the pile from the tapestries would help to capture and quiet some of the sound. Anywho, looking forward to future vids. Cheers.
Great desk design and build. Your work has real style to it now Keith and those handles may not be reclaimed but worth every penny - even if paid for. I agree that sound proofing vid and one on making vids would be very interesting.
Great video as always. A nice wooden mouse pad could fix your (mouse over joints) problem. And possibly a modular wrist support to attach to the front of the angled section.
Cracking looking desk. You gave me a thought when mentioning the issues with the mouse and not quite enough desk space on the 45 degree angle part, why not make that entire angle section out of one large piece of wood? Then there would be no seem for your mouse to struggle with. Anyway great build, really love the double drop leaf file store (I feel an upgrade to my old office desk coming on). Another superb video, the Annke cameras look good too, keep up the good work.
The new paint color is very nice-much nicer. The desk looks great.
Thank you! 🤗
For the mouse problem, I would recommend a large full size gaming mat (the kind that covers your whole keyboard and mouse work area).

Snap, we use throw away ones or a sponge roller for bigger areas, it's just not worth the time and effort of cleaning them.
Great video Keith, The sound in this one is markedly better than most.
Now you're using matt paint I'd suggest perhaps giving the walls a coat of decorators varnish. It doesn't change the sheen of the paint too much at all but it really helps with minimising marks on the walls as they now would be wipe clean.
Yes both videos sound great. Curtains and soundproofing
Love Zinnser bin. Cleaning brushes is fine with Methylated spirits. Just swirl around in a small jar of it, then take out. Will always be some left i the middle of the brush, but when dry is brushes out into a bit of dust afterwards and brush is typically good again. Also can thin BIN with the meth a little which can stop it drying quite so fast. Still fast, but a little more working time. Use BIN on knots all the time to seal before painting.
I like the modularity of it . At first didn't like the stripe in the top but it looks good in place. cool wire organizer tray and clip too
Love it Keith. The new green looks really nice with the birch desktop. 👍
Cheers Ali

Blink cameras are great and storage is on your own devices or network unlike the nest ones.
Jayes Fluid works very well to clean brushes
I'll admit, when I first saw the video title, my first throught was "oh great another maker who got sent a free standing desk frame that they made a video out of adding a top". I am glad I was wrong, another great video! A tip I used for my large desk to allow cables without smashing, I got some rubber feet that have a hole in the middle for a screw, and put two of them along the back edge of the desk, and the took a stick on felt pad to put over it after screwed down. Keeps it away from the way a consistant amount (am I OCD lol) and less likely to mark up the wall from rubbing. Have you thought about doing a video on making your videos?

Look's great Keith, you can get the wife to make the curtains LOL, Nice Telecaster too , You two Stay Safe now !!!.
If you've only come here for Dylan skip to:
00:15 (you can't catch me out with time lapse that easily); 00:23 (awwww, watch this bit frame by frame, it's properly heart warming); 07:07; 10:35 (Dylan gets bored looking over Keith's shoulder); 11:23 (Dylan is still bored); 12:16 (Dylan on security camera - he's a cat burglar); 12:46 (back to bored Dylan); 12:59 (Dylan's reflection on the monitor.

Well that makes up for the occasions when Dylan doesn't appear.
The office is looking good and I also like that you bin your bin brushes :D
😄👍
Loved the old colour green, as well as the new one! Classy!
ooh, and those brass handles are nice, too.
And yes, a video on soundproofing your room would be interesting, Keith!
That desk looks even better as a finished article and installed. Really like your office set up.
Fantastic for workflow and editing all your future videos! Well done!!
Great desk Keith.
Handles look great
Most binders don't resist heat well. You can clean most paint off using boiling water, as long as it is not hot enough to also melt nylon bristles.
I always remember a jimmy diresta tip for paint brushes. He cut the handle short and left it in the tin. The next time he needed to use it he opened the tin, grabbed the brush with mole grips or pliers and painted with the mole grips as the handle
Brilliant desk there mate. To good to use. All the best.

Thank you for the tips
Keith I use those concrete screws a lot and found that using washer work great with them
I used meths to clean my Purdy when my wife used the wrong primer and brush from the shed ! It did turn out ok in the end.
I am definitely wanting to see the office upgrades, and more kitty cameos. 🐈
Keith. I noticed in the clip when you were fitting the camera outside that you have a 6 or 10mm t&e via a catenary. t&e isnt really meant for out side use as uv degrades the palstic. you might consider covering it with a length of conduit but obviosly that will mean disconnecting one end
I agree. I was very disappointed when I saw my electrician had used t&e 🤦🏻♂️ conduit is a good idea, will probably do that
The desk, the handles, the wall paint, it's all stunning! What a makeover! Nice to see Dylan too, as usual. 😉 As far as another video on the office, yes please! Show us the journey to a dream space, INCLUDING your best shot at sewing! 😂
Thank you
I can recomend 2 or 3 TP-Link Deco wifi units in a 'mesh' setup. They will transform your wifi!
I have those as well, they’ve transformed our WiFi, used to be a guess whether devices would connect or not, now there’s never any issue.
With that jumper you blend better with second green. 😜Thanks for the video, excellent content as always.
The desk is beautiful and so is Dylan ❤
Thank you
"...and then I sneezed..."
Now, that's thorough narrating right there.
looks fantastic!
Like you said nit picky.... would never bother me!!! 👍
This desk is beautiful. Those pulls are top notch. The wall even looks incredible from the touch up. Amazing work all around. Absolutely stunning.
The finished desk looks really good the brass handles finish it off
I’ve used a corner desk, the same one, since 1995. My keyboard centered in the inner corner keeps my mouse on its mouse pad. Maybe just get a mouse pad that covers the gap.

A water based solution to powdery surface or somewhere that need stabilising is Zinsser Gardz. Brilliant stuff
I can't the the only person who noticed that the new paint color matches both your shirt and Dylan's eyes... ;-)
I really like the new Colour. The office looks really great.
I installed Annke cameras at my Grandfather's house and they've been running for a few years now without a problem! I went with Ring cameras for mine as they were on sale, and I already had the doorbell and alarm, and have either Echo Shows or Fire TVs in every room, so I can watch from anywhere.

Outstanding job mate! Really inspiring work
Wow, desk is awesome, office looks great, Blue Yeti microphone is awesome, cat is adorable. Guess that says it all. Seriously, love the desk and that hardware was well worth the wait and expense.
I have string going through the paintbrush end. & close the lid of the can holding the brush wet inside.
Beautiful work on the desk and room. Those drawer pulls were definitely the right choice!
"and then I sneezed", it felt like part of the work... 😅😅
Great job as always 👍
Looks fantastic and the desk is unique, Cat inspected 100% approved ♥️
Thank you!
Bless you !
I would have LOVED a whole video on the camera installation, as I'm planning on installing my own cameras and I'm sure you'd have some good tips and advice.
Keith the desk came out fantastic!!! Enjoy your new workstation.
The drawer pulls are gorgeous! The desk is okay, too! I love how Dylan matches the new wall colour. :D Nice work, Keith. Greetings from Montreal.
Very good. Love Both of the greens but understand why you changed.
How about a nice old Chesterfield sofa? I nice dark leather would finish it off nicely and help muffle the sound.
Love the cctv too so thanks for posting that. Hate the thought of paying a monthly subscription to protect my own house. 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The desk looks great, love the dark sapele against the beech. Just a word of caution though, at 3:27 it looks like your metal dimmer switch isn't earthed
For the mouse just get yourself a proper large mouse and keyboard mat, it will help protect the desk also if you spill something (you will :D )
great drawer fronts mr english
Nice work Keith! Thanks for sharing the video with us! Happy New Year!💖👍😎JP

Good one, Enjoy it heaps!
Was excited to watch this when it popped up on my notifications. Only to realise I’d already watched it early on Patreon 🤦🏼 So I’ll watch it again!
1- love the desk - my personal choice, id have went for a chrome or brushed steel finish on the handles
2- not my colour for walls lol dont like anything green
3- would recommend an XXL gaming mouse pad - i use one and it covers a good amount of my desktop

This turned out amazing! Great job! Would love to see a separate videos on installing the cameras and the future office projects.
I can see that desk in gallery!! Wonderful Keith 👏👏 well done! Your designs, workworking skills and results are to be admired!💪
Dylan is the star of this one for sure. 😉😎
Looks great!
So cool :O A very clean setup!
For once the Facebook algorithm worked. Watched a few of your clips and went hunting for your CZcams channel. Love the content and the high level of detail.
Oh and cracking desk
Love the end result, it looks really nice. Really well done, and Dylan seems to approve the work as well ^^
God bless you! 😄 (you sneezed)
Looks like a great setup, nice one!
Cheers John
like the three monitors. room looks fantastic
Have you tried white spirit? Really like the "English green" on the wall man.
You could make a 10 mil hole in the desk an cover it with a plastic cap meant for cables
Much better colour on the wall - all looks very spiffy.
Thanks Tim
Zinzer Bin, you've been spending far too much time in the pub with Charlie DIYwhite. Desk turned out a treat.
The desks very striking Keith with the contrasting timbers, it's well laid out as well. It's looks ready all set for business with the three monitors powered up in place. Tony
Thank you very much Tony
The new setup looks great. Nice work on the desk, I enjoyed watching the build.
Great video. Beautiful desk. With the triangle joining piece where you sit. Could you curve (semi circle) out the side that is close against your body with a nice smooth jigsaw cut? Nothing too steep but could give you a couple more inches and feel a bit more spacious?
The desk and set up is looking mint mate!👌🏾...have you considered a mouse mat to cover the joins in the desk?
Cheers! I'm not a fan of mouse mats to be honest
you could ask some woodworker to add that inner corner strip, to get it exactly the way you want :P
[or else just get used to it like I got used to my piano X-stand getting in the way for my knees, just kidding :: I will make my own piano stand very soon, as I can't take that X-stand]
I like to put the large cutting mat on my desk, so that my sweat is not damaging the wooden top (I live in tropics), and I can cut stuff right on my desk (opening packages and what not)
the desk turned out remarkable, and that brass hardware is spot on too
Keith, it turned out lovely. Love those drawer handles too,
Thank you
Hi Keith, with a shellac based primer, it might be worth trying methylated spirits to clean your brushes.
Incredible job! I love this desk! Those brass drawer handles really take it up a notch. For the short corner issue, I’m wondering if a piece of the accent wood (sapele?) could be added as an extension.
The desk looks great, Keith! Nice work and attention to detail.

Keep your used brush in the primer can.
Nice one Keith, as greens go..that green is better. Office and desk looks great as do those handles. Cheers Paul
Cheers Paul
Great desk design and build. Your work has real style to it now Keith and those handles may not be reclaimed but worth every penny - even if paid for. I agree that sound proofing vid and one on making vids would be very interesting.
I'm so jealous of your office 🧟♂️
Your garden room would make for a nice little office! I'm sure Jakob won't mind? 😂
@@RagnBoneBrown I'll have too kick him out into the mini shed😂
Great video as always. A nice wooden mouse pad could fix your (mouse over joints) problem. And possibly a modular wrist support to attach to the front of the angled section.
I'm not really tech savvy, but I think any mat would solve your problem with the mouse.
Cracking looking desk. You gave me a thought when mentioning the issues with the mouse and not quite enough desk space on the 45 degree angle part, why not make that entire angle section out of one large piece of wood?
