Building a Desk using Cheap Wood (DIY)

[@mc1870-]

I might be spoiled by woodworking youtubers with professional shops in their homes but I was dying for some joinery action here!

[@byferner]

Yeah, I feel you! I’ll definitely give that a go in future projects though! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts Matt!

[@jonnyengman6820]

Same but plane. I know he said he wanted the more rustic look but planeing is so satisfying both to do and watch.

[@byferner]

@jonnyengman6820 I agree! I would love to plane it if I had access to one, and add some rustic details afterwards. But unfortunately I didn’t have that at the time.

[@ja-no6fx]

bro watching this was so cringe haha

[@Saad-pj7ip]

When staining pine, I'd recommend pre-staining and using gel stain to avoid streaks and splotches. Nice build.

[@byferner]

Thanks a lot for the tip, I'll look into that when I buy new stain! Thanks!

[@TaylorHuston]

I did this for my last computer desk and it was honestly not worth it. It looked great at first, but after about two years the pine did not hold up at all and it looked pretty bad. I replaced it with an acacia wood butcher block countertop. It did feel a bit like "cheating" to buy something premade, but it was less than half the price of buying a similar amount of hardwood and doing another glue up. Plus all the time it saved me.

[@byferner]

Really? Sad to hear that Taylor. I have quite the opposite experience actually. I'm still using this table as we speak, 3 years later and it still feels and looks the same. It's holding up great honestly. I'm glad you're happy with your new table though. There's no such thing as cheating in making furniture, it's about doing what makes sense to you. There's no point building a table from scratch if you're not enjoying it, unless you want a very specific custom design of course. Sounds to me like you made the right decision! Thanks again for watching and sharing your experience!

[@codymills3381]

Personally would have used pocket holes along side wood glue. Would have helped true up the boards to one another and straightened some stubborn boards out. Also alternate your clamps on both sides of the workpiece when glueing up, tightening some more then others you can bring some boards out of warp.

[@byferner]

That’s a good call Cody, we might actually try that for the next table. We plan on building a kitchen table later this year! Thanks a ton for the tips and thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts here in the comments, we really appreciate it!

[@HTHALLGRIMSON]

I would also reccomend burning the wood before you stain. It will prevent toxic fumes. :) Best of luck. @@byferner

[@byferner]

Thank you so much Lennart! Great question! We would prefer to build it in hardwood, but it’s so much more expensive and we didn’t have any experience, we wanted to experiment with pine first. The clear coat will strengthen it a bit too. Plus we don’t mind if it gets a little bit more beaten up :D Also, I’m not sure we’re to look for hardwood around here, might have to order it online?

Try soft maple ! Still easy to sand and work with but doesn’t dent easy like pine/poplar.

Instead of a thousand rolls of sand paper, a simple manual planer would make quick work of those raised edges with almost no saw dust and they are easy to use as well.

[@byferner]

That is indeed true, thanks for the suggestion! Would love to own one or more of those one day. As for this time this was the option in hand since we don’t own a hand plainer and the rolls of sandpaper were the only thing we needed to buy. Thanks for watching and interacting, much appreciated 😀

[@MindfulMusic]

Beautiful build. My only tip for people who go w/ pine is to use extra padding between your monitor mount or anything that you plan on clamping to pinewood as it is susceptible to leaving indentations after long period of times being that this isn't as dense as hardwoods.

[@truckywuckyuwu]

Honestly, this is great. You spent a lot of time making the table look really good at the end. It's a really rich look, like chocolate or coffee. I love it. Definitely a statement piece in a room. I think people would buy furniture in this style. Some basic end tables, or living room tables. Or desks. Maybe a bed headboard. You should try selling a few :) The only thing that would make this build better is incorporating the computer into the bottom of the desk. I'd also say Router/modem, and power bars. When I built my desk, I was surprised that with just a bit of extra wood, and a few extra hours into it, I could hide everything inside the desk. It cleaned up the room massively. Depending on how your house is setup, I would recommend this if you kind of have everything in the same area around the desk. Really can tidy things up. The only other tool I would recommend that you could get, that would make part of this a lot easier for you is a hand plane. You use it in place of the sander, and it'll help you get a nice flat surface much quicker. And if you can sharpen it well, smooth :)

[@byferner]

Wow, thank you soo much my friend! What awesome feedback! Yeah I’ve been thinking about selling furniture once I’m done with the ones we want for our place 😄 Incorporating the computer/router/cable management etc. has definitely been on my mind!

Thank you so much, we really appreciate it :D Wow, that sounds amazing! Would you mind sharing the results with us once your done? We would love to see it! Gotta say I'm a bit jealous of the lumber you've come across, that sounds really beautiful! Don't hesitate to send us a DM on Instagram and share the results with us! :D Best of luck!

@@byferner thanks my friend! I’ll see what I can do... it might be a KZbin project. But it’s likely going to be on top of a sit/stand desk I just acquired.

@@byferner As for wood, find an older neighborhood.. like turn of the century (20th) houses.. sometimes they get demo’d and the lumber is great... just be mindful of lead paint and asbestos, and... often it seems... it an be old growth lumber you’ll never find at the lumber yard! Ps... do I hear a slight accent that isn’t from America?
