Thank god you said that! I was just about to call you out! ahahahaha

[@zcar4me]

Are you going to share the build on this channel?

[@DIYCreators]

Haha. I did give a hint that the is my gaming desk for the future :)

[@DIYCreators]

I could, not sure if everyone is interested.

[@dionjennings2379]

Hey, if you build a desk like this, the only machine I'd put on it for a photo or video op, is a Mac!!! Ignore my bias for a bit ;)

[@janinelew2483]

I'm a 51 year old female who’s just getting into woodworking so I've been watching and learning a lot from KZbinrs like yourself. Out of all the videos I've seen, your builds are the most elegant. Even your jigs are the “prettiest” I’ve seen. Your projects don't look too intimidating to try and you explain things so well. Thanks so much for sharing!😀

[@repentrepurposerefurbish3307]

Good. THERE IS NOTHING YOU (We,as older females who has a mind to) CAN DO JUST AS WELL AS A MAN OR WOMAN IF YOU TRULY HAVE THE DESIRE. I, TOO LOVE DIY AND LEARNING HOW TO USE POWER TOOLS. CHECK OUT THE CHANNEL "THRIFT DIVING" . A female power tool user who is secure in SHOWING you how to use power tools.

If your going to buy all these tools for this build you could probably just buy a pre made.

Hot damn! You just got a viewer! Back in the day- I used to watch a show called American Yankee! This show was only about woodworking, but, OLD SCHOOL STUFF! Then they wood bring out a tool from the PAST, and the guys had to figure out what it was for! THEY NEVER GOT ANY!!!😂😂 I LOVE WOODWORKING! I wish I had the SKILLS! BTW- YOUR techniques' ARE KILLER! I'll be back!

that adjustable sit/stand is pretty neat!

[@dylangriffith6662]

Superb build again

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks

[@swilhelm3180]

What would be great would be a large desk area that is height adjustable on pulleys. Even better, if the angle of the desk would be adjusted. So maybe a pivoting system though this would require careful planning to keep solid and rigid. Another idea is to have the keyboard/mouse area on a different platform or isolated as much as possible from the monitor though this only applies to monitors with flimsy stands. This was a great video of course. Many thanks for opening our eyes to the possibilities.

[@anjledube7026]

Wow it's been a long time glad to see you made it through the hurricanes I did not fare too well I ended up falling off my mother's roof cleaning after Irma hurricane and ended up with I think it's 16 bones broken so not much else to do but watch KZbin and love your channel and well I really like this idea but still think you should build me a tiny house and just wanted to say hello neighbor I'm in Tampa

[@DIYCreators]

Hi stranger :). So sorry to hear about your situation. Are you doing better now? I really want to build that tiny house :)

[@anjledube7026]

DIY Creators yes I'm 60 days out and doing much better I am walking talking just have a problem with my left knee and my left hand not able to use the left hand or wrist like I used to still praying I can ride my Harley but it is what it is thank God I get to see this today sorry so late getting back to you like I said I'm in Tampa maybe one day we'll get to see each other much love Glenn love Anjle. 😂😍🙏🙏🙏🙏😇

[@miluliemlv1486]

I like how most DIY videos are filmed in professionally equipped studios where every single piece of machinery costs probably about few thousand bucks. So much for saving money lol

[@timothylow9136]

Dude the quality of your video is amazing

[@litlclutch]

Since you like the sit/stand desk elevator why not have a counter sunk shelf it sits on that has it level with the top of the desk while down so that when you raise it it rises out of the desk, would look cool and keep you from having to remove & store it when not standing, just a thought.

[@GokouZWAR]

I just got done with a super basic U shaped desk. Never done any real wood working so these are neat videos for ideas. I just wish I had all the nice woodworking tools. I don’t do much wood work and it’s hard to stomach buying routers and table saws for 1 project. At least these give me ideas to build more. Future videos could you add approximate cost of the materials? I feel like my crummy U shape desk was super expensive for just a 3/4 8x4 plywood sheet and a few 2x4s. Kinda blew my mind when I ended up spending almost $200. I always thought DIY woodworking like this would be cheaper than just getting something from Amazon but now I’m thinking it would have been better and cheaper with a prebuilt thing.

[@hoodafukisalice]

Truly minimalist, elegant and beautiful. Great choice for the power outlet, and good decision with the second heat shrink tube. You're very talented. A suggestion: you could have bevelled, or curved the borders a little bit, just a little.

[@1Axxonn1]

i would have put a slight curve on the front of the desk so it is more comfortable to sit up against

[@MrEsnyders]

Hi Glen, once again an awesome funky table

[@derfel08]

DIY Creators, I don't know if it would be your style but since you like your LED I would see the PC mounted vertically into the space created with your legs. Nice watercooling system could give a very neat look!

Hey Glen, live this build! Would love to see you build a sit/stand desk rather than getting a premade Sit stand add on. Basically the top is raised or the entire table is raided. I'm thinking of doing one in a month and would love to get your idea on a design.
