Desk Build Ep.7 - Desk Frame Assembly

[@chuckbonifer9619]

Wow-ohne Leim , Tackern und 500 Schrauben- Respekt.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@Ashe_Fenrir]

Hahahaha I had almost forgotten about the tiny Kanna. I know you've got a full set of tiny tools... And I've seen the tiny furniture in the old videos... So time for a tiny Japanese house build? Desk is looking great - love this video format.

[@AdrianPreda]

It's not yet a full set, still a lot to get and money to spend :)) Those tiny furniture my wife found at some antique/flee markets, they are nice for props :) Thanks!

[@LimitOfN]

That fit from 8:00-8:20 made me so excited. Well done man. Continuing to show us that large space and endless tools do not make the craftsman, its the patience and determination.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! A pity I have a very small space there in the balcony, I would have placed the camera in more interesting positions when assembly but no space for tripod and co :))

[@Exodus5K]

You scared me a few times driving in those drawbore pegs that you might ding the project parts underneath. Very satisfying to see this start to come together. Also, 1. I love your chamfer plane 2. I love your tiny japanese plane 3. The logical conclusion is that you need to make a miniature chamfer plane for chamfering endgrain

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! I didn't show at camera, but I was holding the other side of the leg assemby with my knee up in the air :)) Indeed, I need to make a mini chamfer plane, or adapt an existing miniature one, is very useful mainly on small pieces, with the big one I can hit the corners

[@greengohm]

So crisp and satisfying!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@ramingr]

You went through much trouble for this one. And it was all worth it! Very nice job. Thank you for sharing!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Luckily with this quarantine I was able to work mainly on this project, otherwise it would have been prolonged more :)

[@MrAlexanderGoff]

This is just brilliant.

[@Tom-rc7oy]

Beautiful craftsmanship

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

Looking pretty awesome Dorian! Thank you for sharing.

[@AdrianPreda]

:)) Thanks!

All your past vids are starting to make sense to me now!!! 👏👏👏

[@joseflores1786]

Hey bro, your work inspires not to use nails and has done everything in an artisan way with assemblies. I want to see the cover already. Greetings from Hidalgo. Mexico.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Sadly for the top I have to disappoint, I plan to use butterfly/sliding dovetails but because I wasn't confident from the beginning to make sliding dovetails on the rails to push the top all the way now I must screw the dovetail pins on the rails and make slots in the top :)

[@joseflores1786]

@@AdrianPreda 😀😀😀 OK Well I will have to see the end, but it is certainly a great job.

[@horiaatanasiu3173]

I just love your work. Can you please do a video to recommend a minimum wood working tool set for a beginner. You obviously have a lot of tools and a lot of skill, and as a beginner I really don't know which tools I really need. I already have a small set of tools, for me the planes are the big unknown. I have a cheap metal one and some old restaured ones. But I'd like to buy one like yours. Thanks!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! I don't know if there is a minimum/first tool set to get. I always tell people, and this is how I started, is to choose a project, see how it's made, analyze every stage (yt, books, etc), and get the tools needed for that project. Then move on to another one, more complex, get new tools, and so on. It's a pithole in the end :) As for plane, it is better to invest in a premium one for your main plane. It is more reliable made, flat sole, squared etc you just need to sharpen the blade and use it. In the vid description is a list of my tools

[@horiaatanasiu3173]

@@AdrianPreda can you recommend a plane size and a producer? It will be my main plane for small projects around the house for life. I have good stones and ok skills for sharpening. I'm having ok results with my cheap plane.

my friend. very nice. thank you so much. be happy. bravo.....

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you too for watching!

@@AdrianPreda You're welcome. See you. greetings.

Beautiful work as always

Thank you so much!

[@VORONM]

Ideally! A great role model.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks :)

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

Simply amazing!

[@AdrianPreda]

Many thanks! How things went with the slab?

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

@@AdrianPreda - I haven't gotten it yet, he said he would deliver it this weekend, so I'm excited! :D

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

@@AdrianPreda - Just got lff the phone with him, he said the 70cm plank was twisting too much, so we settled on getting 2x35 instead and doing something so that they both can get fastened to the steel legs. It's gonna be great I think. This also allows for a gab between the two for keyboard and mouse wires. :D

[@athmostafa2462]

Looks art to me finishing this desk 😊! .

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@TonyT-lo2sz]

This is what a true craftsman does. Beautiful to say the least.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@supreoverlord]

Absolutely mesmerising to watch fine craftsmanship and very relaxing.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much!

[@rolandrivard2667]

Dang!!! So good.!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

I'm re-watching this because I just finished a desk for my son and I am starting one for my wife but I am planning drawers similar to yours this means That the legs and side rails probably have to be the same thickness. Meaning thinner than I would have liked. I'll probably go with 1". How is your not glued desk standing the test of time? My desks will be getting plenty of use so I need to make sure they are stable. Just curious as I used your build to inspire mine. Almost a year since you posted this video.

[@AdrianPreda]

I would probably use glue. Mine I don't use it so intensively, it has some movement that glue will cancel or reduce it if used, but I go like so now. One day maybe I will disaasmble and glue it too

[@АлександрВладимирович-к2р]

👍.Целый сериал, как Санта Барбара)).

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks :)

[@karltraunmuller7048]

Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻

[@JoelWetzel]

I turned up the volume in an attempt to hear all of the pointless talking then remembered one reason I like your channel so much... there's none of that. Your work is inspirational and watching it relaxes me; I even laughed out loud when that tiny plane made its appearance. I hope you keep doing videos for years. Peace.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much! Appreciate the feedback! Haha, yes, the mini kanna is funny everytime I see it too

[@luqmaansalie6830]

Great work Adrian! I’ve been following from the beginning and would really like to try this. When will the plans be available?

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! They will be at the end, but first to see how will turn out and tweak there and there for details, measures etc

[@ricardocarrillo5836]

Very inspiring video Adrian. Thank you very much for sharing, please keep sharing videos. I have a curious question, did you study anything related with wood or other major? Thanks again :)

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Ricardo! No, just on internet and some books. I did electrical/mechanical engineering as study, and worked in ship building, engineering and I even sailed for a while, all these in my 20-32 years span. Now, just woodworking :)

[@ricardocarrillo5836]

That's amazing Adrian, you are a really great craftsman and based on what you told me a great learner, 👏, congratulations. Last question for now, any book or website you recommend? Thanks😊

[@willd2609]

no glue on the wedges? What keeps them in?
