DIY Floating Desk || EASY Affordable Home Office!

I created a floating home office desk because of the situation we are all in now. Working at home is again strongly advised and I needed a sturdy desk for that. a place where I can work quietly. I chose a floating home office desk because of the limited space it uses. This had to remain affordable and easy to assemble. I myself am very satisfied with the outcome. I hope you can use it as inspiration. feel free to ask or use it as an idea.
Gear that i use for filming and editing:

You have an awesome bike there man

[@antoineaustin9063]

The desk looks great! If you don't mind me asking, what material did you use for the desk top? I'm thinking about making something like this for our home office. TIA!

[@GotenX0X]

Nice & Simple... 👍

[@house9850]

[@TheGrantAlexander]

I need to build something like this!

[@tfturning]

Looking really good man!! Was that a homemade pocket hole jig you had there? Nice work👍😁

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Thanks buddy! yeah i made it 3 years ago, lost it between all useless stuf wich i threw away recent and found it back haha. works great!

[@tfturning]

@@Dutchshedwoodshop Awesome! Desk looks fantastic by the way, a great use of the space!

[@pds4927]

Awesome build! Please share the sizes of the materials used for us beginners. Thanks in advance

[@jay-arrivera8422]

Great work mate! Did you have to screw on to studs or just the plaster wall?

[@gbtygfvyg]

You will want to screw into studs 100%.

[@tqtruong8077]

cool.

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Thank you!

[@aziatik]

Great job.. what wood did you use for the desk top? Thanks

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Thanks for watching. It is a desk board made from pine.

[@aziatik]

@@Dutchshedwoodshop thank you for replying. Do you think pine is strong enough if I start mounting clamps on the desk for cameras? and lighting as I do music production and KZbin blogs..

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

@@aziatik The way i build it is strong enough to hold my weight in the middle (84 kilo). If you are not 100% sure you can always put one support in the middle. 👍

[@zenginellc]

I really wish I saw that anchored in studs, ideally with rods. I'm wincing at the thought of someone attempting to sit on it and it ripping right out of the drywall 😭

[@realstiner]

Nice desk! I got a question: at 7:09 I think I see an extra support underneath the base you've built or is that just the camera that makes it look thick? At 7:38 I can see it too...

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Correct i strengthened it a bit more just to be sure. The construction wasstrong but had a little movement still. Now not anymore 👍

[@realstiner]

@@Dutchshedwoodshop Okay, thought so :) because it wasn't part of the video I just asked, thx!

[@Left-E-]

great work!! where did you get the desk tops from??

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Hi Everette, bought them at the DIY store nearby 😊

[@pauleom5155]

Hello! One question: what are the screws going in the wall for?

[@floydmahone]

Ziet er goed uit

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Dankjewel 👍👍

[@gittin_funky]

did you do anything with join in the worktops ? any tips how to get the flush without any lips or gaps thanks

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

You can makeit flush by adding a piece of wood underneath. And screw it on. I was lick both boards were straight. Thanks for watching

[@davidtoys7956]

At 2:39 what template are you using to make those angled holes?

[@teddybear4020]

Where u get that top . So I can look it up please

[@frogsandflies]

I’m a beginner, would I be able to make one?

[@chossachgameplay3840]

Can you please tell me what you used into the wall? To anker the desk to the wall(the dutch word is fine as a fellow dutch man(i think😀)). Because i want to do the same with a 280cmx60cm desk. But still unsure how to connect the fame/desk to the wall. The long part is against a concrete wall. 1side is against a plasterwall. And 1 against(i think) a small piece of wood. Then some isolation and after that some brick wall. Hope you can help me out.

[@gvlvl]

Any Luck? I would also like to know what plugs were used inside the walls. From the video, they go in easily and seems like plasterboard.

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

They call this wokkelplug or metalen gipsplaatplug in dutch :)

[@johnsmith-hs1we]

How wide is the desk?

[@joell2912]

What is that that you used for the desktop? Butcher block countertops?

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Hi Joel, it looks like that indeed. But the are office desk counter tops. This one is made from pine, but also available in beech, oak, hardwood. Thabks for watching

[@Vulcanmobilellc]

Why not screw into the studs instead of using drywall screws

[@barbaraferris6683]

Beautiful! What is the dimensions of this desk?

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Hi Barbera, 3 meters wide and 60cm deep.

[@punchdarkwing1591]

Description says hastags

[@de5881]

Could you please share the plan?

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

no plans, i just build it :)

[@oc3powerline]

Is that a 2x2 frame?

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Yes tge frame is made from 2x2. Thanks for watching

[@oc3powerline]

@@Dutchshedwoodshop any concerns or regrets not using 2x4s?

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

@@oc3powerline so far not. It can hold my weight altgough it will sack a bit. I glued a 1x4 to the frontside 2x2. For the lokks but adds a bit of strength aswell

[@louissparks2496]

You didn't show the placement of the second board below the front of the face-frame, nor the placement of the covering board on the front of that board and the front of the face-frame. I call that cheating. Also, an office needs at least 2 file drawers and your desk looks too low to put one under it. How would you accommodate a filing cabinet? Otherwise, nice work with the wood. Paint / stain?

[@skilarbabcock]

Says cheap but doesn't tell us the price or anything

[@shonthelawn]

Sorry this is NOT easy!

[@TTVShm0l]

Put your mind to it, it's easy, trust me

[@shonthelawn]

@@TTVShm0l okay, i'll try it.
