DIY Desk with hidden laptop storage using reclaimed pallet wood - How to make

[@CementRoots]

its so refreshing to see a youtuber using common man tools and techniques .... it came out great man.... thanks for representing the 99% of woodworkers/makers

[@makeit5272]

Thank you very much CementRoots!

[@bigbearnelson]

@@makeit5272 I was thinking the same thing. I love watching creators grow their abilities and shops but seeing everything get CNC'd and 3D printed is disheartening for a limited tools guy like me.

Commo I don't have a million dollar woodshop in the back of my house

[@haroldalexis4200]

No complaints no negative comments. That's why you have these shows on tv & social media. I learned something out of this! I do it for 3 reasons: enjoying the skills of making woodworking.& furniture, hobbies & repairs. Making a living ? That's okay too. Expensive? What isn't. That's why all these TV shows have sponsors & supply the power tools the woodworkers operate on air! Very good job! 👷👋👋👋👋👋👋

Blew my mind within 15 seconds, showing the hidden laptop compartment!

[@nickgroen89]

I have respect for your crafts! But also recording the process and explaining what youre doing is even more challenging +1000

[@makeit5272]

Thank you Nick!

[@ALONSOIBARRA1967]

i think so,

[@kendraw6255]

You said “and that’s it for this one” as if this was a breeze...sheesh! Wish I was this patient and skilled.

[@chel-lalasveganmania]

Appreciate the acknowledgment throughout the video of the limits of your tools and what would have been better right down to the nail choices simply being what was lying around. It often feels like people just have perfect workshops and you come across as very real.

[@francoisnel5253]

He comes across as having the perfect workshop to me. I've never even seen some of these tools before.

[@angiebaby8870]

Awe man. Show me your ways. This is REALLY a blessing to be given the knowledge to duplicate something as insanely creative and beautiful as this desk is

[@MyWoodle]

Just about to finish my own desk, and took a lot of inspiration from your build. Gorgeous piece of furniture and thank you for a well put together video and the inspiration to make my own desk!

[@jem42670]

This is a great video man! Thanks for the ideas and for all the people that don't have all these tools remember there's more than one way to make all these cuts and joints.

[@vegasjill21]

Wow!!! Now THAT is really a beautiful desk...and it's genius!!! I love that everything when not being used can be tucked in their hidey holes and all that can be seen is the beautiful wood and craftsmanship!!!! Good job!!

[@benefitthirteen]

It may have taken a little longer than you planned, but the end result was worth it. I appreciated how some design elements were modified on the fly - problem solving at it's best. Thanks for the video.

[@IcoKirov]

i love those Do It Yourself. all you need to do it yourself is like a professional carpenter workshop and you are good to go!

[@mr.smallshop9787]

This is really nice. I like how you fixed 2 problems with the magnets for the cable compartment.

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

Definitely enjoyed the build. The hidden compartments made the IT geek in me jump for joy. LOL. Truly a great design and build. Keep up the great work.

[@1557Reckless]

This is what I've been looking for! I use my desktop for gaming and personal use, and on the weekends I use a work laptop and this hidden compartment is perfect for putting my laptop away for the rest of the day until I work again the next morning rather than having it laying around and having my toddler knocking it over or digging it in and out of a laptop bag.

[@justineambrocio7579]

when you realize that some of the DIY's are way better than what you can buy on the market.

[@phillspearsfish]

Thank you so much for making such a professional video! No waffle, straight to the point and very clearly explained. The desk looks so awesome too! Thanks again!

[@ants9230]

Nice job. It's amazing what you can accomplish with some old pallets and a bit of imagination.

[@mikaz0850]

Dude your personal wood shop is nicer than the one at my school.

[@rjtumble]

Wow that came out nice. If you ever find yourself mounting a power strip, here's a neat method. Make a photo copy of the back, then put the photo copy wherever you want to mount it and use an awl to mark the spots for the screws. It lets you be very precise. I've used this a couple times and it works great. Especially if the strip is vertical since you can make sure the paper is in just the right spot before marking the holes.

[@CementRoots]

@rjtumble I've always wondered why there are no thru hole on powerstrips ... I've thrown caution to the wind a few times and drilled holes as close to the corners of the strip... i've been lucky so far.... ;)

[@TwistedWorkshop77]

This is awesome! I love the hidden storage and the overall look. You have some serious talent. Glad to see your back!

[@makeit5272]

Thank you Twisted Woodshop! It definitely feels good to be back in the shop.

[@generalfisten9093]

Yes, he has a nice and muscular back!

[@comepaintwithme6575]

I love it so smart to add a computer compartment

[@JohnWilliams-hn3wn]

This is one of my favorite desk builds on KZbin. Love it!

[@iwmiwannamake7604]

you got me with that knot hole. Brilliant!

[@BronkBuilt]

Really love the laptop storage. Great job!

[@oxoSpaceDustoxo]

one of the most satisfying woodworking videos i've seen. nicely done!

[@grod0051]

Wow, what a great idea with the hidden areas for laptop and cord.

[@garethsharp4039]

That's a fantastic desk! I love the hidden laptop table/compartment. Brilliant!

[@msleolicious]

I love it!! I love your attention to details. Quite impressive. Very nice job of clear views on how you did each step. I appreciate the time you took to talk through each step clearly and precisely. I’ve subscribed to your channel because of this one video. Can’t wait to see more of your work. True craftsmanship is a beautiful dying piece of our society

[@elroyjacobs8126]

It was really satisfying watching this! Very neat and tidy...

[@blurissa]

Really cool! I love secret compartments and stuff like that and it’s really satisfying how perfect it fits in

[@makeit5272]

Thank you very much!

[@marthapotter8283]

Just started the video but love the details already. Nicely done. Greetings from Hamilton Ontario, Canada!

[@Maker956]

This is one of the best desk build I've ever seen, great job!

[@leifprice8836]

A crafty design indeed!

[@mrcwoodworks4523]

I am a carpenter ! And I wouldn’t be able to build this seriously !

[@ArcanaKnight]

I really like using the knothole look to hide the cable management hole, it really blends in.

[@donfillenworth1721]

Nice! I really like the combination of white painted cabinet with pallet wood top. Thanks for sharing.

[@rodw]

I really enjoyed the video and as a new woodworker I definitely like the narating. It really helps people like me who are learning. Some videos play music and hold things up to the camera so quickly and I guess we are supposed to know what to do. Really? Thanks for sharing your talent and video, Rodney

[@markmclennan7877]

Very impressive. Well done. I would make the part of the leg on the left hand side of the desk flush with the desk top as I could see myself bumping into it on a regular basis. Otherwise champion effort.

[@StuffUCanMake]

Man, you are a real genius!!!

[@makeit5272]

Haha, no. When you have little kids that get into EVERYHING you find ways to stump them! We'll see how long this last with my two year old.

[@serenityprojects7364]

I wish you would make more videos! I have been looking for a good desk idea and build of it and WOOOOW this is the best I have ever seen.

[@timdion7834]

Pretty neat. Very creative design. I especially like the saw-horse end and hidden power strip and cables. Well done

[@docdoctme]

Wow! Such a beautiful desk and like the contrast of wood colors. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@LisaChuch]

Absolutely love this!!! I was looking for a hidden compartment for a Bay Window bench seat when I came across this.

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

Really bad ass!! Love it, definitely going to incorporate the hidden storage feature on my next desk. I've used this same method for pallet wood coffee tables but didn't ever occur to me to also incorporate in a desk build. Keep em coming boss! Now..... re-playing again lol

[@makeit5272]

Janie, Thank you! The hidden storage works perfectly for keeping my laptop away from 2 year olds which is the main reason I incorporated this in the desk lol!

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

😂, we have a 2yr old too. I know exactly what you mean. Terrible 2's for sure 😩. Endless love for them though.

[@jemmaj2919]

Stunning results, so much effort and dedication

[@nomusebefriends]

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

[@makeit5272]

Matt Johnson Thank you very much!

[@TheJayberg712]

Amazing, I wish I had that ability for ingenuity.

[@heyimamaker]

Great use of a knot!

[@marc6340]

This is such a cool desk. And the use of recycled pallet wood is a plus. I don't like the tressel (sawhorse) end, though. It (to me) looks out of place. I would have just extended the top all the way down the side (using pallet wood) in a straight line with maybe a notched out bottom. Great project, though! I'm definitely stealing this idea! lol

[@rebeccaanderson2907]

That was really nice and was informative as well. I am new to woodworking, but your explanations were very clear and I am going to make my attempt at something like this. Thanks for a great video and clear instructions.

[@makeit5272]

That is awesome your getting into woodworking. It as been a hobby of mine for a few years now and I just really enjoy being in the shop. Good luck with your next build project!

[@thebeardedartisan]

Awesome desk. Brilliantly made and excellent narration. Good job! 👍
