Building a MODERN Plywood Desk - Shaun Boyd Made This

[@strikebr]

The guy isn't just a woodworker, he is an artist, I loved the drawer's front. Congratulations it is in order.

[@ToluDude]

I used this video for an A Level project 3 years ago and it still shows up on my feed from time to time. Just wanted to say thanks!

[@modustrial]

Wow Shaun, best build yet! On their own the angled cabinet and curved top would both have been amazing...but putting them together?!! Serious next-level work!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, man! This one was a lot of fun to see come to life from the picture I had in my head.

[@vagnergaviao]

Some special people in the world can be called "artist". Well my friend, you are one of those peoples. Congratulations!!! It's an amazing work!!!!!!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really, really appreciate that! I always hesitate to call myself an artist, so it means a lot to hear it from other people.

[@driftlessjoinery5059]

Best design statement ever: 'I think I've got it all figured out, here we go.' If every designer/builder didn't run into design/build challenges, nothing of any importance would get made. Proof that simple materials and basic shop tools can create some really great stuff. CNC is nice, but it can be done another way. Very nice piece Shaun. Design, execution and documentation are all top notch.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, yep! The challenges are the best part. Really appreciate your kind words!

[@pthanos]

Wow dude. You really out-chris-salomoned Chris Salomone. Such creative use of plywood, and impeccable execution of the angled cabinet..congratulations on a great desk.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Chris makes really nice stuff and his videos are top notch, so I appreciate the comparison! This was a fun one to make, thanks for watching!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Far and away your best project yet, imo! Both in design and video production. Really nice, man!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! Really appreciate it. It is fun to always try to improve and get better with each video and each build.

[@samcravens2924]

Beautiful and I will never grow tired of the layers in plywood.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, Sam! I agree, the layered plywood has such a cool look to it.

[@jordmake706]

The drawers are stunning, very nice desk

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Jordan! I am really happy with how it turned out.

[@MR_Rabeel]

Shaun Boyd can you talk more how you build the angled drawer case and the false front with inlay

[@aaronblack735]

OMG he deserve a award of patience , great job , clean and awesome

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, it definitely requires some patience. Thanks for watching!

[@mateostabio]

This desk is amazing! That is one sweeet build. Wondering how much this would go for?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it. I sell this one for $3,500.

[@mkngjoy]

so much awesome in this build! the curved desktop, the trapezoidal cabinet, the angled drawer fronts all lining up perfectly, the artistic faceplate of the drawers... wow. speechless.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed all the details.

[@glenralph5123]

I think you're finding your groove with theses vids. Great desk as well!!!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Glen! I'm having fun trying to make my videos better, so I appreciate it!

[@ronferguson9695]

You are gifted. The perfect example of function and form. Love your style.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@modestmaking5314]

Great build Shaun! I definitely like this style of video from you. It's informative, mellow, and entertaining. The primo mix!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! That's exactly what I'm going for, so it is good to hear!

[@critstixdarkspear5375]

Never lose the child in you that wants to make a desk a slide. The world needs more of that.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I agree, doing my best not to let it go! Thanks for watching!

[@Borsch_TV]

I love your projects!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Glad you like them.

[@akbvisc4708]

Борщ TV а ты делаешь так?

[@mariascrivanich3254]

You are a madman!!! Truly a spectacular piece, incredible patience

[@whitneychaney86]

Wowie kazowie! That thing is insane!!! So good. Your video was beautiful as well. You are one talented dude.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for your support! I should buy you a sandwich or something.

[@matthiaslasowski6706]

The statement about not to use a cnc is like a declaration of love to the wood you are processing. Great job! Greetings from Germany

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks!

[@denisewascavage209]

You are so inspiring! You make me want to stretch more, Think outside the lines, So thank you so much for what you do. Also a CNC machine has its place, but not with you. You're an artist my friend.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that, Denise! I have been inspired by so many people over the years, it is always nice to hear when I have inspired someone else. Thank you!

[@appleorangebananakiwi]

Nice combination of plywood and solid wood. I like the drawer fronts ant the angled edge of the plywood top. Nice work!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, Filip! Really appreciate it!

[@thewoodworker1703]

Superb ! Subscribed

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Appreciate it! Thanks for the support.

[@ChibiChula]

Wow.... That is utterly gorgeous! I'm stunned. Kudos to you because your mind must be a truly fabulous place.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@WOODRF]

Very good, fantastic.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@robertoc1963]

One of the most beautiful pieces of furniture mixed with artistic design i have ever seen, you have raw incredible talent, looking forward to the next project.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate the kind words, Roberto! Thanks for watching!

[@bwhite220]

I just threw my panties at the screen. Incredible job, Shaun!!!!!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha! I'll take that! Thanks, man!

[@MikeTheMaker1]

Brandon White hahahahaha

[@silverfox8801]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@HaliHunters]

I don't wear panties so I had to take my wife's. Now she's mad and wondering why I through them at the screen. I'm fulfilled though.

[@bill50013]

I just spit my drink out Hahahahaha

[@getitenterprise]

Never get tired of ur vids man. Extremely satisfied, wish 2 one day be at that level. Bravo, just BRAVO

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it!

[@victorsupreme214]

Desk = Amazing. Music = Suicide.

[@ChicNMovies]

Okay Those face drawers are bonkers ! Pretty impressed by the sturdiness of this kind of build too ! Thx for sharing

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, William! Really appreciate it!

[@danielwurmer2266]

Your router jig to create identical curved parts for the table is very clever. No I know how to make my curved trusses for the roof of my boat. Thank you for the great inspirational video!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@buildingheirlooms]

Cool idea with the jointer/ plainer. I really appreciate how original your designs are.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yeah, it works like a charm! Thanks for watching!

[@mykhelderian]

The aesthetics--the balance and flow--perfection. Love how the curves and the carved angular detail of the drawer fronts work together. Very well done, my friend. If youre not feeling proud... you should be.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@NicoleHerrickDIY]

Omg such beautiful craftsmanship.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@chopdshop8087]

The jig use in this was truly inspiring and top notch! Beautiful build Mr Boyd!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! The jigs I use are rarely pretty, but they always get the job done!

[@betranewe626]

Wow. Nothing like watching a master craftsman at work. Subbed.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@bevanstuart9013]

I have always liked the "pattern" of the edge of BB plywood and this is a fantastic example of using it to great advantage. Beautiful desk very nicely presented. I lived in Riverside for 35 years, now on Vancouver Island, both beautiful but I envy you and the length of your workable outside weather.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! I agree, Baltic Birch really has such a nice look on it's edge. We are pretty spoiled with the weather here, it has been getting "cold" lately, which means it only gets to maybe 70 degrees during the day, haha.

[@ColshyR1]

WOW, probably the best desk ive ever seen

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@christiangreene2978]

Brother, your editing makes your video incredibly entertaining to watch, alone. But your talent in revealing how beautiful inlays, angles, and plywood can be if they are well-managed earned you my like and subscription. Very well done!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that, Christian! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for your support!

[@Pronuss]

Wow. Thats worth a subscription for your channel. I wish I could build stuff like that. I love wood furniture.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that, thank you!

[@顏崔琦]

you are such a humble man with giant's talents!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thank you very much!

[@amente]

This is, without doubt, one of the coolest design I ever saw being built on KZbin. Keep up the good work.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I really appreciate the very kind words! Thanks for watching.

[@efenili]

Kudos to the effort in cutting the plywood. I've cut down a full sheet into 1" pieces for a glue up and it's pretty tedious work :) . I can't imagine with the curve

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, yeah it is definitely tedious! Thanks for watching!

[@Johnny-xj5qu]

I'm not worthy to watch this artistry. To think it up, to create it, just amazing.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, well I am glad you watched! Thank you!

[@diverhose]

WOW! Incredible job! You are an inspiration to many of us woodworkers!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@grateful4068]

Love this project and video. The angle of the drawer faces is so cool. The curved fall off design is wicked. Great work!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! This was a really fun build, glad you enjoyed it!

[@joshuamathermusic]

What an ambitious build. Looks amazing!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! Appreciate it!

[@andreyrylov905]

Hi Shaun, could you please make a vid with review with comments of your workshop, machines and etc. Would be great and interesting to watch! Thanks for your works!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Andrey! I am actually working on a shop tour video right now that will hopefully be out soon.

[@andreyrylov905]

Glad to hear that! Thanks!

[@wolfa5151]

Stunning! No words needed, it speaks for itself!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that, thanks!

[@martinmadsen4162]

Wauwwww what a truly beautiful piece of art. True craftsmanship

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thank you!

[@kdunagan100]

Incredible design and build. Very creative.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate that!

[@barrygurney5067]

Another great design the inlay on the drawers is spectacular. Well done loving your content.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, Barry! Thanks for watching.

[@chesterbanner3093]

That is so cool. Wonderful design, especially the drawer fronts.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, Chester! Thanks for watching.

[@dmartin1650]

Nice piece. Love the inlay work on the draw fronts, and the funky angle!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@ismailhaq3229]

This has got to be the best diy desk I've ever seen so far!

[@GregWallis]

Simply superb. You deserve the epithet of master craftsman.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I don't know if I would ever be comfortable with that label, but I seriously appreciate your kind words!

[@philhighfield4741]

That was very satisfying to watch! Great craftsmanship!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@surfshaggy]

Ridiculous how easy you make this look, friggin awesome work Shaun. I'm in the middle of designing a piece of furniture for architecture uni work and now I'm stuck glued to your channel watching tips and tricks. makes me want to buy a table saw!! Top work :)

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching and good luck with your project.

[@djjinerson]

Wow what a beautiful piece of functional Art. That thing is an art piece 1st, and a desk 2nd. I hope to get a 1/4 of your skill as a beginning woodworker Bravo! 👏

[@maikay1403]

It is BEAUTIFUL DESIGN Shaun. Thank you for making this video and sharing it. Have a wonderful day.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you for watching! Really appreciate it!

[@matthewnowak8114]

Absolutely fantastic , beautiful work , the piece is a mix of modern craft and contemporary design and it's an absolute master piece. Nice job

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@ELaprendizPescador]

I am impressed. Great design ,great skills and great approaching. Just amazing

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you, Alberto! Really appreciate that.

[@Puppygirl-hj1tn]

Wow. I just discovered you Shaun. I’m going to learn a lot here. Sincere thanks for the learning curve.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for watching! Glad you are able to get something out of my videos!

[@mariologtenberg]

Very nice clean look and lovely execution. top notch, respect Shaun.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, Mario! Really appreciate it!

[@JD-be7ys]

Shaun, I just found your channel, and I really enjoy your seemingly analytical approach to the craft. It was neat to see how you used the jigs and templates. Very neat to see projects that incorporate the plywood in such a way as to take advantage of the layers. Cool stuff!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! My main thing is just trying not to overcomplicate things. Thanks for finding me and for watching!

[@riadenchong770]

Shaun what you do is amazing for me watching you do that is incredible .......I cannot even make a cutting board......, and you make that look so simple

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! It certainly isn't simple, but with time anyone can learn to do stuff like this! Thanks for watching!

[@steb1012]

That is one impressive skillset. And power tool set, very well done.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@davetarrant6888]

Wow that’s an awesome desk Shaun. Nice job!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, Dave! That was a fun one to build!

[@draztiqmeshaz6226]

That is beautiful. I hope you got a lot more than your time and materials in exchange for letting it go

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

[@divmart8378]

Very clean and beautiful work.

[@beakz]

Love the desk and the bench Shaun. The drawer faces with the inlay did it for me!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, Paul! Glad you dig both of them.

[@638fitter7]

I love the piece and your videos. Where did you end up moving to? I see you’re not sharing the shop with Chris much these days. Looking foward to more. Thanks for sharing

[@puirossy1162]

such an art, creativity and skillfull hand made shaun 👏🏼👍🏼🙇🏽

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@finitesound]

Well done. Quite an elegant piece!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@b3arwithm3]

Wow. This desk looks ridiculous! 👌👌👌

[@evvekiss]

At first i've missed the part where you connect the curve side and the top one. I like your video a lot, and your design also. Thank you for sharing.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for watching!

[@sickboy123uk]

Amazing desk and workmanship 👍

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@willemmvanbreda6226]

Stunning Shaun. Well done.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you, really appreciate that!

[@ravnos04]

How does this only have 10K likes?! That is an awesome design Shaun!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! I'm not sure I will ever understand how KZbin works haha!

[@ridwanurrahman8945]

That was the best man...Really appreciate it... Really genius... Well done...And good luck for the next project...

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@richardjohnson5441]

Fantastic piece of furniture,I’m glad you did not use a CNC as there is still a high level of skill in using normal wood working machines to there best and your process to your tasks made it look easy,that is true craftsmanship.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Richard! CNC technology can be a great tool, but it is always fun to do stuff by hand.

[@davidminheehodgson6405]

Just stumbled on this vid looking for ideas to update my wifes office/computer desk. I recognise you are now working with Four Eyes a channel I have followed for a little bit now. Love your work keep it up!

[@b.j.castaldo926]

Dude, I can’t say enough how dope this is. Great work, man! I absolutely love it!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@donavanmcelroy6263]

Incredibly well done! So many details of the piece are unique and made for a downright beautiful build. 👍

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@toddlan1294]

Amazing work man

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@AlphaMachina]

Awesome!! Glad you decided to do it. And man, did it turn out incredible.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thank you!

[@RovingRushy]

Absolutely fantastic mate. I particularly love the drawer fronts. Keep it up mate. Stevo

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! Glad you dig it.

[@danielgeng2306]

Some pretty innovative concepts , never thought of that jointer/planer trick also using plywood this way, Paul Sellers (spl) is doing a workbench with the same technique... very cool !

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Right on, thanks for watching! This one was a blast to make.

[@32dras]

This is piece of art, lowe the drawers and wallnut inlays, amazing!!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@ghostrip]

Good! So easy to watching, and it seems that easy to do 😄 But I feel it's not so easy. Realy, I never make drawers with angled front panels. And what panels! This stripes are so cool! Good, precise work for garage workshop! I had pleasure watching video, thanks 👐

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thank you for watching!

[@seansaidha7209]

Love it, the angled drawers, the inlays, plywood curved top....fantastic. Would be great for you to do a 360 view of the finished product at the end of each video. Wanted to know what did you use at the back of the drawer cabinet?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Yeah, I don't often show the back because it is usually pretty boring haha! The cabinet on this one was closed off with a panel of maybe 1/4" walnut ply.

[@marcusm.8374]

Congrats ! Beautiful build.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you, really appreciate it!

[@afidram]

Great job on this one - really like what you did with the inlays. I installed those under mount slides on a dresser a made last summer and they took some planning, you made it look all too easy. Nice job, bud.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, Anthony! Really appreciate it. Those under mount slides can be a little tricky the first few times, and they definitely take some planning to get right!

[@Creesey69]

Absolutely first class, love this build. Your work is brilliant and you make it look so easy.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, Paul! Thanks for watching!

[@theWISEdesign]

amazing work! I think those inlays are the absolute perfect touch.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that, Alex! Thanks for watching.

[@josetesuarez]

Nice piece of furniture. Loving it.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you, really appreciate it!

[@hansschernthaner8360]

Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Super creative. Love the Blum drawerslides. I only use these, everything else is junk ! I might be a bit partial, since I am from Austria.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it! Can't go wrong with Blum, pretty much the only thing I use, as well.

[@mkushin]

Awesome! Love the slanted front drawers.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! Those were fun to figure out.

[@d.i.d]

Very good work!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks!

[@eddiealexander2485]

Nice build Shaun. Turned out awesome.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks Eddie!
