Building My Custom Gaming Desk

[@CrashForce]

That's one awesome desk! There's always something so satisfying about seeing wood being treated and transformed into a desk, chair, etc.

[@blakerobberson2309]

Woodworker here! First off, great job and I really like the center leg idea! I only have one minor tip! When using the painters tape on the drill bit, leave it "flagged" out, so when you get the depth you need, it acts as a sort of brush, brushing away the drill bit dust. So when you don't see any dust, you are at the correct depth. Well done man!

[@min_doe9619]

You really just need the tools and building a pc takes no skill you really just need money

dizney jnr I put together an old table with desk legs and it took me a couple hours because I had no tools or materials I did two store runs and the worst part is aligning things together

If this design of the table was available on ikea or amazon i would definitely buy it. Looks awesome bro

[@scardera]

Really dig the top and back wall great setup man

[@trojanman22]

I can’t believe you paid all that money for a solid wood top only to paint it white.

[@PCBattlestations]

I wanted the strength of solid wood and to be able to cut to size and drill holes in it to mount power strips, cable mgmt etc. If you get an already white desktop, its usually plywood with white laminate or honeycomb cardboard in Ikea Linnmon. Doesn't have the strength and cant cut to size, etc

[@egonzalez1984]

@@PCBattlestations MDF board probably has the same strength. I do agree with Lane about having great looking wood and painting it. I rather stain it. Again, just an opinion, you get to do whatever you want with your wood. It's yours after all.

[@brandonbreuer6589]

The top he used isn't solid wood. It's an ikea countertop that has a wood veneer.

[@mastersergant1287]

its a butcher block basically

[@PCBattlestations]

@@brandonbreuer6589 Its solid wood countertop called Hammarp. I could tell its solid wood cause I cut it and can see its not a thin layer of veneer covering MDF.

[@benstatgod]

I'm gonna be building my own desk soon. I used to build houses(framing) and also did everything from finish carpentry to flooring(commercial concrete flooring/hardwood/carpet and epoxy coatings) so building the desk will be easy. But I'm checking out everyone's desks so I can get some ideas of how I want mine to be. Yours is pretty much what I was wanting to do, so thanks for the video and some inspiration!
