DIY Creators Awesome 😎👍🏻 ... 👏🏻

[@marcoboman1160]

How much did it cost overall?

[@klkdimeaveable]

Awesome! Now just need a Lift Desk Riser.

[@klkdimeaveable]

Next project!

[@seantullis8822]

This is a great project, but The only thing I would have done differently was, rather than screwing in the bottom where the power cords are, I would have put a hing in place for better accessibility and possibly hidden storage.

[@Athens428]

I love the "where I am at" feature!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

I came down to the comments just to say the same thing. Genius!

[@robfuller8627]

One of those things you see, and then always wonder why everyone else doesn't do it.

[@wallaguest1]

i didn't even see it.

[@Ramius117]

Ditto! Beat me to the chase!

[@semaphore_74]

I love the "Where Im At" diagram at the top right of each step!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@BigBrownie96]

yessss love it

[@VicLaranja]

This is a beautiful project. I love how you provide feedback for yourself and learn from these projects during the editing process. Great content!

[@maintainprivacy]

This is definitely not DIY, this looks professional... Edit: This is definitely not DIY for the common person, this is something professionals do. DIY for professionals, LOL. This edit is for the comment warriors with low humour and high sentiments to prove others wrong.

[@hmdbel]

And all these tools.

[@mihais1]

Well, that's what happens when a professional does stuff for himself. Technically still DIY.

[@912100116raju]

This is DIY for professionals. LoL!!!

[@jellyg.8961]

A true DIY knows that even stuff that look professional or very complicated can be modified in the process to make it more simple to do. This build can be completely done with just a drill, a circular saw, a jigsaw and normal materials like screws, wood, sandpaper, etc. The laminate can be omitted and simply paint it or apply white wood stain, two coats and then wipe on polyurethane.

[@maintainprivacy]

@@jellyg.8961 Sure, but I'd say that 'that would be correct DIY'. Not everyone seems to have those high-end tools.

[@dfhowes]

I appreciate how you didn't edit out your mistakes and included "How I would do it different next time". I'm most definitely going to be using this as a starting point for my desk. Thanks for putting this out here.

[@MrTotalAhole]

You know what makes this a great video? You show the mistakes and challenges that you ran into and then how you overcame them. Thank you for the video!

[@jeffreyrood8755]

Great work! I really appreciate that you don't edit out all the mistakes or challenges! It's so easy to only show us what perfection looks like bug not show what reality looks like!

Wow. I'm impressed by the quality of your work. Not just with the wood, also with the edition of the video. Your audio and video seem to be taken from an H&h I feel inspired by your work!

[@elliotstack8969]

The ‘Where I’m At’ visual is genius!

[@johnstjohn4705]

You do some the best woodworking videos I've ever seen. You keep it moving at a good pace, and your not afraid to show your mistakes, and more importantly, how you recover from them. You seem to have a good idea of what you're going to do, but you improvise as you build. Reminds me of Adam Savage. I pick up so many great tips and ideas watching you. Thanks!

[@flip5000]

Thought you were a madman for a floating marble desk when I saw the thumbnail. You certainly fooled me- it looks good!

[@DIYCreators]

Haha, Thanks

[@wisdon]

I was fooled too! now I have this smart project for my next desk setup, when I will have some spare time I will give it a try

[@thatdude6045]

yeah that would have been really heavy for the studs to support

[@roboak7916]

Thanks for the idea. I will definitely do something similar in my bedroom. I will add more support in case somebody lost balance and tried to sit on the desk. I will probably stay away from the french cleat and use two iron brackets instead. You just mentioned two brackets at the end of the video - we are on the same page then :). Great job!

[@felicitykrah2909]

The attention to detail in this is amazing!👏🏾

[@DoItLikeDoli]

All of your projects are amazing! I get envy and the feeling of awe every project you post.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you 😀

[@impasto100]

Hi Mr. DIY, love your channel. Especially the way you present it, nice to listen to and understand, even little mistakes you made, you just say how you undo and make plans. Thanks a lot. :-)

[@bestforyouall]

The satisfaction I feel while watching this ❤️

[@CharlieD954]

The finished look is spectacular, the back lighting using LED strips was a nice touch, and the USB ports and outlets are always useful. This project had a lot going on as far as planning, tools and execution. I like the way he makes mistakes and corrects them along the way, he doesn't edit them out of his video. I would prefer the cupholder mounted in right rear of the desk for to maximize space, but that is my opinion, plus he asked what we would have done differently. I only wish I could find the time to do a project similar to this in the future. The magnetic picture/poster wall hanging system is a interesting and cool idea, thanks for sharing. OVER 5M views and 2.85M subscribers.. WOW congrats my friend !!

[@mtdewboy404]

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome Job!! I've been watching your videos all morning and I'm obsessed! Really inspiring! Makes me want to get into wood working!

[@alicemayfield3891]

Really Inspiring. I agree.

[@jparky1972]

Pretty awesome. I love the fact that you are man enough to admit parts you did wrong or would do differently. Desk looks really stylish.

[@moorthyconsulting]

Amazing. So many great takeaways, and such a great video. Loved the breadcrumbs highlighting where you are in your build. The marble finish with the dark wood is also nice. Great work.

[@eyetube64]

Don't see enough brothers doing this kind of innovative work on KZbin. Great job and easy to follow explanations.Thanks

[@GeorgeWEastwood]

You've really stepped up the professional look you have in this video. The "where I'm at" feature is unique and really beneficial to the viewer and your in-video advertisement doesn't seem tedious or forceful. Really well done

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, George, I appreciate the feedback. I'm working on getting better.

[@larrybe2900]

Doesn't seem to take a whole lot of work.

[@kevinshumaker3753]

Excellent project, well done. I like you're including your near misses on some issues, makes me feel like I'm not the only one. For your next dream desk, instead of the vinyl, I'd like to see some sort of formica or similar surface treatment, or maybe use a premade countertop narrowed down (front to back) with a bullnose front edge. Again, excellent project!

[@WhiteDragonSecurity]

That was EXACTLY what I was thinking throughout the entire video!

[@ELEVOPR]

This project would take me 5 years to complete :o/

[@farhadtarapore]

DIY? All I have is a screwdriver in my house :P

[@themaker4216]

[@cuzzinjay3404]

The wireless charging a good idea. I might try that on my coffee table and nightstand in the bedroom

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, Yes it is 😀

[@Darkreaper71]

This looks really awesome, I actually think it'd be good to have some bar stools so you can have drinks by it (instead of desk use) and if foldable functionality could be added so room space could be saved, it'd be perfect!

[@Threlgar]

Greatly appreciate the "Where I'm At" notices, help me see what you are doing!!

i personally want to meet someone who could do some shelving for me like how this guy does. Awesome, power tools are very helpful.

[@ucnhtmenow1]

I'm sure you've heard this 20 times already but depending on space restrictions, I'd try to make it slide inside the wall and when it's inside, the outside trim could be artwork so to blend in and conceal the desk better. Would be a great idea for one of those tiny homes people are building these days.

[@PH1M0]

Great job 👍it’s amazing to see how much planning and work goes into a project like that

[@ja34namsf09]

Excellent job, I have done vinyl wrapping many years ago and it was not easy, fair play to you for making such a great job of it, looks awesome.

[@blueeyedbaer]

Love the table. Displate magnets tend to fall of the wall and the plates can damage thing while falling down so I suggest securing magnets with some additional method. I bought some strong sticky picture holders and applied them to the backs of the magnets.

[@bobenton8252]

Thank you for this post. I’m actually going to start this exact design tomorrow but I’m doing 3 of them on one wall for 3 computers. I’m going to paint and stain instead of vinyl. Wish me luck.

[@schulz461]

This is an amazing project and video! I used that same marble style contact paper on the counters in my kitchen. I learned a great tip before I did it from another KZbin video. Spray the adhesive side lightly with Windex before applying it. This will allow you to move it around before it dries and get those bubbles out much easier. Thanks for all the great videos and ideas!! :)

[@i-will-trigger-you]

I use windex when I fap for lubrication purposes

[@JerichoUno]

Very Beautiful project and excellent tutorial.

[@jhmstagg9104]

Sweet, love the light and the use of the heat gun. I have some contact paper around here but have been hestitate to use it. Now I can. And for the build I believe I can bet pretty close, but yah, I will need the legs below for some confidence. Thanks again.

[@mattheusrodrigues9566]

Bro youre definitely “THE MAN!”

[@garage-n-guitar]

Hi, the first impression was, that is a texture of acrylic paint or something like that...but when got to know vinyl, that's even more easier. Just curious to know if you have tried acrylic paint in any of your projects?

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

Acrylic paints can be great for kids projects too, because there is blackboard/whiteboard paint that really adds to easyl functionality, can be great as life chart backboard attatched to a desk (whiteboard_dry erase,) and dry-erase tabletop for quick_note/quick_calculations for less paper use or app window confusion

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

But if you do explore vinyl... Two overlapping layers is maximum for secure_and use the heat gun to smooth edges

[@awesh1986]

Awesome. Creativity and Vision is key to this kind of work. A lot of planning would have gone into it. Its beautiful.

[@kyouell]

Thank you so much for making things easy to understand for a beginner!

[@ChazEvansdale]

Same.

[@taks9398]

This is way cool. I’m curious to know the weight capacity of the desk though... if a large adult were to lean heavily on it, would it hold without L-brackets? Also, i would really like to see you do a corner, L-shaped floating desk - if you haven’t already 🙌

[@bcatbb2896]

That wouldn't be a good idea as it might cause a tiny bend over time. I've used the brackets he showed in the video and they're definitely only good enough to keep average items in check.

Those wall brackets are quite small, curious to see how it's still holding up. I would have suggested some longer and thicker ones.

[@greglamar1116]

Its suppose to look like its floating. Adding big l brackets defeats the purpose...

[@ReynierMartinez]

I love it! It looks awesome! and I'm laughing out loud cos you briefly touched on the idea of tapping directly into the power outlet and then on the frame change from 12:10 forward... Voila, no more hanging power cable! :D Very nice!
