Build a Wall Mounted Desk 2.0

After five long years of using a cardboard desktop, I finally built the wall mounted desk 2.0...out of walnut.

Looks awesome! PS - I think generally you're supposed to pull card scrapers, rather than push them - this will make it much more comfortable for your hand. I'm no expert, but I know it'll leave your wood smooth and hard, just like your mom.

[@DIYwithRick]

Ahhhhaha this guy! I’ll try to pull next time I had 3 band aids per hand it was just silly

[@trevorweltzer4833]

"You never planned on building this anyway." I feel personally called out, because i definitely was thinking i don't have all the necessary tools.

[@DIYwithRick]

sad but true

[@jondeeregreen]

Yeah that cracked me up.

[@curzon_ark5846]

I almost bought a desk with legs, but I am glad I found your channel. Great work and explanation.

[@r-forbz2956]

Only problem with this video @diywithrick is that there isn't a 10 minute montage of you applying that stain... great project! I built the model 1.0 4.5 years ago, as an L-shaped desk and it's still working great. Hope to make this one someday!

[@DIYwithRick]

lol I used super light speed fast forward on that clearcoat clip! L shaped-very cool! I think you'd be very pleased with some WALNUT!!

[@mrlegobrick]

Oh that is so awesome! Me who made the family dining table watching this, thinking yep mostly the same process and now looking at wood 😂 damn I was only planning a "quick and dirty" solution to needing more workspace for my stopmotion. Beautiful desk and great video

[@NG-sf9tu]

Thanks for this video. Also for making it fun. You're one of the best fixers I've seen on KZbin

[@gregoryc5989]

Great job.

[@sarahyu7448]

Thank you for your video. It really helps me with the understanding of built-it furniture for my architecture course!

[@MrGman2000watts]

The wood joke just added you a new subscriber 🙌🏿🤣

[@amomandotherstuff]

Ok but I actually DO plan to build these brackets, lol. More research required. Great build! I’m looking to do the perimeter (3 walls) of a small bedroom to turn into an office/school spot for my son and I.

[@jwcarrollinmd]

After the mom jokes , miss elliot , jokes and wife joke , I had to subscribe

[@allenobrien9220]

Love how you are wearing a respirator with the garage doors open and vacuum on the saw all while cutting WOOD!!!!!! What a tool🤣😂😂👍

[@DIYwithRick]

i'm wearing a respirator while responding to this comment, too!

[@jeffmanson6858]

That came out awesome!

[@pogolas]

That’s maybe the most entertaining DIY video, I have ever seen! I know it is a blasphemy, but what brackets should I use, to wall mount a desk? Also, how cable manage speakers, when the desk is stuck to the wall (no room).

[@bhupski]

Watching this from my wall mounted desk 1.0

[@DIYwithRick]

yaaaaasss!

[@gergemall]

Beautiful job .

[@glennclarke9442]

Good job on your comic relief! 🙂

[@adrienneuranga9254]

Could this project be added to your website with the cut list, purchase list, tool list, etc. with instructions like you did your first wall mounted desk?

[@HexicanHill]

Bro we have the same humor or something cause I was cracking up the whole time. Well done! 🤣💯

[@Jzabehl89]

Wow! Not only is it beautiful but it's also nice & sturdy, just like your mom.

[@newdirection1994]

I dig the color of that wall! Is that black or a dark navy?

[@357lockdown]

Beautiful job man.

[@seededsoul]

Is the desk platform not attached to the supports? Also, can you lean on this?

[@hollyflynn328]

I love walnut

[@texas-red538]

I like the color of the wall 🤙😎

[@IvoTichelaar]

Hahaaa, dissing a cardboard table top, and desperately finding studs because the drywall won't hold your desk. I understand the economic efficiency of stick frame building, but as a European living in a concrete and brick house, it will always seem a bit vulnerable. But that's a very nicely built and good looking wall mounted table, with a lot of love in the project.

[@secondwind75]

Great outcome with the walnut. Much better than cardboard for sure. Certainly looks better under that cool movie poster. So, do I think Josey Wales would like it? I reckon so...Lol🤠 I sure do! Very nice work. Troy

[@DIYwithRick]

I RECKON SO!! Thanks for watching!

[@Alfacinhadesign]

Simple and beauty.

[@betterworld1228]

I just love everything about this video ❤️❤️❤️i wish i had the same tools as you have…

[@hagakuredoteth1159]

Best DIY video ever

[@DIYwithRick]

Thanks Alessandro!!

[@jameshunt1822]

I got an idea. I will be making those angles. And use a two links scissor mechanism to attach it to the table top. That way I will have two height adjustments.

[@losav96]

We finished the video: we cried together when we saw the "SUBSCRIBE" message at the end. Thank you a lot for everything.

[@besllu8116]

Nice tools.

[@blackandbrownmovies]

Wow! Make me one please! and so many funny jokes!

[@tonyzheng9990]

Great Video :)

[@ericennenga7218]

Well done sir.

[@5thpixel]

Nice!

[@musicjet4255]

Does the desk wobble at all

[@22percival]

Hey man! Looks amazing. Don’t suppose you know what colour your wall is behind your setup? I NEED it 😅

[@rickjw2]

BEAUTIFUL! Thanks :)

[@davee8659]

Yes, very amusing and very informative. As for the scraper, just blow that $1,000 you'd put aside for a dirty weekend away with the missus and buy a Veritas Scraper Holder. Six (6) inches should do the trick, and because I'm an Australian, I'll leave the obvious joke well alone. So, I'm late to the party by about 2 years? Well, I'm an Australian. Cheers mate from Sydney - Dave

[@taquitos459]

im still rockin version 1 over here lol

[@hollewoodfurniture8190]

Your mom will never come down there either...Desk looks great! Mom jokes never get old in my opinion haha

[@DIYwithRick]

Haha! Never!!

[@HickeyTyson]

Here’s a fun tip, if you don’t have the right tools “let’s be honest, you weren’t going to build this anyways” hahahahah I have never laughed so hard at a DIY video. Lol fucking epic. Keep em coming man. Love that you’re back :)

[@DIYwithRick]

thanks tyson appreciate it man! really fun new vid dropping soon...!

[@Lxusi]

loved the handcrafted video! keep up the good work like this! more more more (and no more mom joke )

[@disarm3317]

Endeavor to persevere.

[@pauldino3331]

it's so beautiful 🤩 like your mother

[@STiStein]

Never in a million years would I have thought that I would come here and get Missy Elliotted..

[@bomberesque]

Is the Domino a replacement for the Biscuiter or do they compliment each other in some way?

[@davidweeks6425]

It's the josey wales. Who might you be granny?

[@mr.Sheruji]

Can you please share dimensions of all

[@eyondev]

Six years ago i tried to make a wall mounted desk. I couldn't get it to be perpendicular to the wall. It bent down. Now, after 6 year i got tired of pencils rolling of the table, I put a single support in the middle of the desk. It works like a charm

[@DIYwithRick]

yeah that's tough. glad you sorted it out though!

[@ltsky311]

Card scrapers are supposed to be held vertical. Perpendicular to your work surface, Its not a razer blade scraper.

[@mastheadmike]

Word to your mother. Whether pushing or pulling with a card scraper it is supposed to be nearly perpendicular to the workpiece. They get ground flat and burnished so a burr forms and bends over making a “hook”. It looked like you were pushing it like a chisel which definitely makes for uncomfortable hands. Check out the wood whisperer’s video on card scrapers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoSqY3-LmdBgjKc

[@DIYwithRick]

great tips, thanks for these...I'M GOING TO USE THEM!

[@bugnurddesigns5268]

Nice corner pinning on the phone in the intro. What do you use for editing video? I’m learning Davinci Resolve now.

[@DIYwithRick]

Thanks a little sloppy but I got lazy with a few of the custom masks/key frames. I used premiere pro mask tracking.

[@superdude1820]

“45 Special” has been upgraded!

[@DIYwithRick]

sure has!

[@naftulikay5913]

How heavy is the desk? e.g. how much weight is the wall supporting?

[@DIYwithRick]

It's heavy. Not sure EXACTLY how heavy though. Hard to guess. The plywood spacers added a lot to the total weight.

[@KyleCalisay]

7:05 so true lol

[@troycarter349]

Miss Eliotted BWAAAAAAA

[@farispannicode]

Current my desk is your 1.0 😄

[@OneCheapEric]

Your mom likes this video!

[@DIYwithRick]

😂

[@nishyt2366]

it shows you can make anything with $100k worth of tools

[@RickTetreault]

100k? lol

[@saranshsharma5777]

I... I am building it tho.

[@whispered_asmr1]

Don't mind if I copy your ideas 😉 😏

[@NicksMind21]

Let me get this straight, Sawstop Table saw, Festool Domino saw, Then Ryobi.... THEN A PINK Tape measure...... You're right we are not going to build this desk.

[@DIYwithRick]

see, I told you!

[@im_gldn]

Cardboard came from shit trees...lmao

[@shantahsieh2877]

I did it with WoodPrix plans.

[@dusklvr]

Like your mom jokes are creepy

[@KamionKing]

yeah, creepy like your mom

[@miltoswu5771]

What a massive improvement. I saw the first video of five years ago and saw so many flaws and then saw this and man, you have improved so so much as a woodworker. Well done. This is a beautiful, beautiful build.

[@scottbadalamenti]

I am loving this deluge "WINK WINK" of videos rick! BEST, MOST ENTERTAINING woodworking channel on the youtubes!

[@DIYwithRick]

Appreciate it paladin! Just hitting publish in 2021 no matter what

[@CrankstaWho]

This is the most fun DIY video I've ever seen. Got a good chuckle out of me this morning. ☺️

[@DIYwithRick]

appreciate that leah glad you liked it!

[@shikharnegishiggy8752]

Alright bro. You didn't have to do me with the "you never planned to do it yourself" line😢😢😢😢

[@faithalexander9128]

By far, the most entertaining and witty video I have watched about building a table top like this ... so impressed you worked Missy Elliott into your tutorial! Awesome! And the table looks great!

[@lukasheimann1463]

I think you hold the cardscraper like a burrito and drag it across instead oft pushing it. Will also be much easier on your hands.

[@DIYwithRick]

My wimpy hands thank you Lukas. 🙏

[@skinko_hobby]

Awesome stuff, really love your entertaining style and the things you built and continue to make!

[@DIYwithRick]

thanks herky!

[@mikeFolco]

Looking great, now I just need 20k in machinery to make this simple, cheap DIY project.

[@losav96]

Thank you for complimenting my mother ;) she is watching this video with me

[@SailOnFlyBy]

@9:20 😂 a little Tyler Durden esque trolling... Well played sir!👏🏼

[@SOLDEUSofDETHEROC]

Hates desk legs but allows monitor to have leg...🤔

[@DIYwithRick]

hmmm that's a good point you have there....

[@deanohare5659]

I hit subscribe at 1:07. Right after the “your mother” crack. 🤣 Correction, after the first “your mother” crack. 🤣

[@Superb_virg]

bro has a tool for everything 😂can't hate lol don't hate the player hate the game as they say lol

[@brianlozano7705]

Paint your white baseboard. Will look 100 times better!

[@deandre22]

This video is so entertaining, like your mother.

[@cashfx_amp4490]

can you please share the dimensions of the table

[@YESITSWILL]

does the fact that I could not do this make me less of a man?

[@redhourinfantry6117]

How much did it cost u ?

[@Baza_YT]

what trade is that

[@CPtheLyricalBeast]

Subbed for the mom jokes

[@hammadnayyar7454]

1 subscription for honesty

[@stewram]

Ummm... So how do you know my mother?

[@SV-lw8jo]

What size bolt did you use?

[@grantchanner7693]

Amazing video - quick question, can you tell me where you got your bar clamps from? Can't find anything that large at a budge.

[@JShuSkates]

Working on a wall mounted desk now (first time making any kind of wall mounted furniture) and this was very helpful! Any chance you have a copy of the specs/blueprint around?

[@TheFido19]

That is a damn fine desk. It needs to be complimented by a nice monitor and keyboard ;)

[@Pentatonic_Hardcore]

my wife will never come there and its quiet - golden words!

[@tman7022]

Duuuuude thats awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@rkhaira0170]

Great work, I love the concept. How much weight would those wall brackets hold?

[@sarahyu7448]

How do you fix the top cover to the walnut support?

[@Holzy09]

Love the look of it! I just did a similar design, but used plywood and edge banding like a cheap bastard The ending zoom into the monitor was so dramatic, haha As for the card scraper: I'm pretty sure your supposed to push, but with it on the long edge and mostly vertical. I imagine sharpening will help greatly as well. Katz-moses had a really nice video on scrapers sharpening recently, you could check that out!

[@DIYwithRick]

I was going for that dramatic ending feel. Thanks for the scraper tips my hands appreciate you!

[@davee8659]

@@DIYwithRick I wish my missus talked to me like that.

[@martymurphy7852]

Dude, way to step up your game and desk. It's absolutely beautiful. Love your work!
