I Built a Completely Customized Standing Desk (and it’s epic!)

[@juan2049]

5 minutes in and he is teaching us how to cook. Did I misread the title?

[@quesadylan145]

Yeah - made the video almost unwatchable for me. 7:40 in before he actually starts on the desk.

[@Gren4te]

Well this is a cooking channel after all.

[@vinimooraess]

Tbf the channel is named "pro home cooks" but yea, cooking has nothing to do with the title of the video.

[@jakefairhall3832]

I love it!

[@justus490]

@@quesadylan145 yo i didnt realize until I read the comment completely forgot why i clicked the video lol

[@lech.dutkiewicz]

The most beautiful desk top I've ever seen. It's nice that you can do such things with your father and spend time together.

[@91dobry]

I am impressed. I am a retired woodshop teacher. Loved your Dad's shop.

[@kalebt123]

You can seriously notice a difference in videos since you've changed brands so to speak. You can definitely tell that's you're passionate about what you're doing again and its awesome!

[@Pearlangeldream]

Yes I am an interior designer woman & now at home learning to cook. So ur teaching us both our passions ! Especially we millienials need learn before be a millionaire. Love from Malaysia.

[@anguinan]

video starts at 7:00

[@Adam_Nemcik]

0:00-7:30 is coocking - Skip to 7:40 for tutorial how to make table ;) Nicely done, I will add some small modifications.

[@cesarvegamx]

Not even that. He didn't built a table..... he just built the table-top.

[@soundboy89]

So cool that you're a maker! I've recently started making stuff, woodworking and such, and since then I've definitely made a strong connection between making stuff in a workshop and cooking. In the end they both are taking raw materials and modifying and combining them into a finished product that didn't exist before and it now exists thanks to your work and creativity.

[@gggeeek]

"You can never have enough clamps" is the woodworkers version of "You can never have enough compost" from gardeners. Really enjoyed the video!

[@benefitthirteen]

There can't be anything better than a dad with a workshop.

[@yourmajesty3569]

That desk is RIDICULOUS. I wish it were something you used in the studio where you will be filming! I want to see more of it!!!!!

[@heshwuan]

Two of the things that interest me most; cooking and craftsmanship. To me, as an artist/cook/DIY'er, they all go hand in hand. I'm so glad I found this channel. Thanks for your inspirations, Mike.

[@jul8803]

I had no idea a standing desk video could be so appetizing.

[@andreww5138]

Definitely do more of these DIY building projects! It's refreshing to see a different side to you as well as having a change up in the variety of content! Excited to see more Mike!

[@karanskhera]

The most beautiful table top I have seen. Love the colours! 😍

[@richardknipe2733]

My new dream desk. Well done!

[@sreeluskitchen1424]

Wonderful desk. Great instructions.

[@elacomedido]

Man that shop is loaded with wonderful toys. Great job on the final product and nice that you include your dad. Great content. Subscribed.

[@DanieKat1127]

The videography is so beautiful. Not to mention the wood working I always feel so inspired by you.

[@melindamorrell-wilson9988]

That desk top is BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@BharatLagali]

Few more additions to consider (if you haven't already): Satechi Thunderbolt-3 dock Drop CTRL keyboard Logitech g502 lightspeed mouse (yes, gaming mouse, but trust me you won't regret it). With the dock, you can have a truly one cable solution. All peripherals, including monitor AND power adapter, hooked up to the dock. Just one little cable between the laptop and the dock. Boom! Cheers.

[@MunifTheGreat]

Man freaking loving the change. Don't ever stop. I see a lot of hard work going into each video and i absolutely enjoyed every bit of it

[@XxSliMoO]

A lot of cooking shows forget about the joy of putting together your kitchen. Can't wait to see more!

[@barryvenditti614]

You’re right the desk top build is epic and beautiful beyond words. Wow!

[@lostinoz3198]

I was feeling low and sorry for myself... I wrote a goodbye letter to someone who kept saying adios but wouldn't leave and felt even lower cause I felt nothing at all ... Not even sadness, just emptiness and I wasn't paying attention to the screen playing whatever videos came along and I heard your voice and then I saw u cook and work with your dad? And the most beautiful wood I've seen forever and I remember my dad and I and wood... He had this power over wood like it would melt in his hands and obey his comand and u ate and built the most beautiful desk and the video was over and I had to look up the video and watch it again and again by the third time I hated myself for how much I ask of life and how little I need... If u r not an angel sent my way to pick up the pieces of my broken life then u play one on KZbin cause I do believe I needed an angel Tonite, someone good with a good heart to teach me a lesson and I might never meet u but I won't ever forget tonight and the lesson u taught me and more than that might have saved my life cause u inspired me to stop feeling sad for myself and stop the self pity party I was throwing for myself and connected to your positive and inspiring soul and I will try to b a little like u everyday and do exactly what u r doing cause for a year now I've been thinking talking but not doing a thing for the most important thing I want and need to do ... Yes, like u I want to do a number of videos and I am fixing my desk like u and making something to eat and enjoy every second like u r enjoying yours and if I ever mmake anything I can b as proud of as you are about every word u say every breath u take I promise I will share what I have inspired me to do. Not talk think dream ... But actually do... For now subscribe and I think of u as a friend and send u a like and tell your dad he has an incredible son able to inspired and move others that whatever he did as a dad worked cause I would be so proud of son like u ... Thank u my friend for everything god bless and u got yourself a new friend.... U made the most beautiful desk anyone I know has ... Till next time....

[@luisfernandes742]

the desk torned out great! Wish I had the same table top!!!

[@rudyogl]

first thx for this video, you're a bless man to be raised by a dad that has the skills / a great wood shop with all of the tools to do what you needed on this project. good luck on your youtube ventures

[@Nasriyn9]

That desktop is absolutely gorgeous!

[@joseeduardovillanueva5150]

You are an inspiration for architects who love cooking.

[@edwardbyrd7667]

That desktop is absolutely gorgeous

[@simonvdw123]

Great video, and very nice desk top!

[@jasonlanders3665]

Beautiful work bud!

[@bexg2902]

I love that you're incorporating quick, portable meals in the midst of this massive project. You're proving that you're never too busy to make balanced meals.

[@sking3225]

Very nice desktop you and your dad built!!

[@xCCxLa2]

From Brothers Green to this, you really stepped up your game! keep it up man, big fan

[@theblackgeniusengineer6157]

Beautiful Desk

[@bhamjoe]

That desktop is beautiful.

[@sud0x3]

Cooking and Joinery cant get any better :)

[@fchou92]

that tabletop is incredible!

[@ohhhgggeeezzz]

WOW.... what a dream... That top is awesome....

[@nicholasblasiak165]

AMAZING video. I love how the cooking on your channel adapts to meet the needs of your life! It's very relatable for me personally as life is constantly changing. that's true PRO HOME COOKING :)

[@mike_ddd]

This is an awesome desk top!

[@bountyhuntersgamingBHxG]

Dude that's a dope setup for standing desk. Good job!!!

[@peterdoe2617]

Congrats on that desk: great Job! I completely get your point about adjusting life to circumstances: when I was truck driving in the early 9ties, there was hardly time to cook fresh every day. Not after 13hrs, beeing away from home. But on sundays, I would bake a cake. So I had a fantastic piece of cake, when getting home during the week. Should I mention only 27 different apple cakes in my repertoire, back then? Keep up the good work!

[@aprilvosters2606]

very helpful! my husband needs a workspace like your dads!

[@DannyDevitooo]

> standing desk > sitting in the thumbnail

[@zacholson3429]

Lol

[@gilmarianimer4926]

You know that way that it is not a click bait lol

[@ejer.]

I totally 100% agree with you. I spend hours and hours to find and match a perfect thumbnail and people come up with I completely unmatch thumbnail like that. OMG. Well, the one thing is, the video is nice.

[@michaelposey6529]

epic thumbnail.

[@JamesWelbes]

Sitting down in the thinking makes it obvious that it's adjustable

[@billykobilca6321]

Absolutely AWSOME

[@hachewie]

I'm about to build a desk for my music studio. This is a perfect solution. Thank you.

[@JoshFromGA]

Great video, great desk! I paused it on my phone to put it on the tv so I could see the build better. If this is any indication of the channel's future, I'm hooked.

[@randommcranderson5155]

I would recommend a piece of trimmed scrap leather between the monitor arm and the desk - you're likely to mar the surface finish over time otherwise. Also, I wouldn't call that staining because no stain was involved. Sealing would be a better term.

[@rifatsultana4214]

he does his works so perfectly

[@joshwarren9523]

Love the new look/ approach of the channel

[@f1rstclass289]

Very impressive craftsmanship and collaboration. I absolutely love the size and simplicity of this design. Thanks a lot for sharing. Congratulations and much continued future success, later.

[@wisconkenn]

This is freaking incredible, I really love the desk and I have decided that I will also make my own standing desk. Its been awhile since I did any type of carpentry work myself, but its a hobby that I have always loved. Thanks for the video

[@James-yi1vk]

I've really been wanting to get into carpentry for the last year but haven't made the dive as of yet. I think it is one of the most interesting crafts because you can do so much with it.

[@andresraggi7506]

.

[@Einxeld]

This is my first time watching cooking show and damn I am drooling like mad

[@vegetablestock7471]

you should collaborate with Alex (French guy cooking) again because his studio is sick. might be fun to see him help you and or give constructive criticism

[@thetipsycookery8268]

Loved their collab!!

[@moodiewayne]

Really enjoy the new channels new direction

[@amardeepgill3213]

dope af desk man doesnt get much better than that

[@vipmemberz]

wow the table top is pretty !!!

[@Shamwell15]

I thoroughly enjoyed that.

[@Juan_Codes]

This is honestly the most beautiful desk I have ever seen.

[@RealityCheck1980]

Love it! I want that exact desk!

[@vamsikrishna1131]

wow the outcome is just amazing

[@larswienbelt1583]

I love this dish! I think I made it about ten times now. I made one adjustment though: I’ve added one onion before adding the garlic and tomatos and let it sit for a while to add a bit of extra sweetness to the dish. Love your videos, keep it up!

[@NicoSmets]

That looks like a great setup

[@akosbeleznay]

That is one awesome desk!

[@chitownarcher5645]

Great design and finish on that desk.

[@manasaryan3803]

A very colourful nice handcrafted board

[@lin90210]

wow loving the desk!! Your taste of decor is great too!!

[@DarkGambitX]

Great content. Very refreshing and original.

[@YehoKali]

Man...That's amazing :) Love your work and attitude

[@aylitrwygtctw37]

That desk is beautiful

[@kelwinkwel]

Great vid brah!!!

[@hariharaans]

Try to add a laptop stand fixed to the monitor arm (If it's possible), it will give you more than enough table space for a keyboard and a mouse to ease your video editing work and make it a better productive area. You can also add a thunderbolt dock to make it clutter free and routing all cables to the dock and only one cable from it to the laptop so that it's just one cable to unplug and leave.

[@FortYort]

Awww yes, that's a beautiful desktop! Can't wait for more woodworking/building videos. This studio is gonna be rad, can tell already!

[@LetsBuildThatApp]

Must be nice to work in that shop with ya pops. May I suggest he open his open youtube channel to share is woodworking secrets?

[@samtcmu]

I really like how you mixed cooking with making in this video. It reminds me a little of Alex's French Guy Cooking videos but with a different twist. I know you two have collaborated in the past, but it would be awesome to see collaboration in future that mixes cooking and making. You two are the only ones I've seen do this on KZbin and it's super cool. Keep up the great work and congrats on the new space!

[@vincesanity27]

That is a freaking nice table! oof i want one

[@GatorSig08]

Man, that is one good looking desk, great job! Makes me want to get a planer

[@davidzazueta1471]

excited about the path this channel is taking

[@dr.victorstrange6848]

Awesome idea I'm looking for something cool for my home office and came across this. Also for those OCD like me, to clarify you didn't stain your desk. You Urethaned it. Staining is when you change the color of the wood by using "Wood Stain", which comes in browns, reds etc. The wood you used to make that desk was "stained" that's how you got all those colors. Urethane preserves the natural color of wood and protects it from water, abuse ext. For all intense purpose, its clear coat. (NOT STAIN) Just in case someone is out there looking to finish a desk and asks at the hardware store. I also recommend using water based Urethane as it makes a much better and easier finish. (Quicker drying time between coats too) Apply at least 4 and lightly sand and remove dust in between. :)

[@jimr5855]

That desk is beautiful, nice job.

[@firstlast4592]

This is the most desirable desk I have ever seen. I hope one day I will be able to afford something like that.

[@DebHickerson]

That desktop is gorgeous!

[@snoopaka]

Fun watching you’ll build the desk top. Very interesting. Your setup with desk looks fantastic. Best of luck moving forward

[@sumitsaluja]

that's one of the most beautiful desktops I have seen. Great pattern :)

[@Lodus_beatbox]

His subscribers: *good video, nice change of pace* 👍 People who searched for this video: *bruh, I just wanna see him build the desk*

[@pneumarian]

Nice! My own woodwork is not nearly that caliber, but I'm working on the first step toward getting there: accepting that my work will be imperfect. Of course, I have higher priority on other handicrafts too, but I'm almost finished with a clothesline I've been meaning to install for years now! I look forward to seeing this series continue!

[@nathanriddle1663]

I watched this video because I was looking at standing desks, but now I am a subscriber because of the food lol

[@Monsieurlatebloomer]

What a sexy finish on the table, lol. Thanks for making this video! :)

[@soundboy89]

Cooking and woodworking in a single video! Love this.

[@jonathanlatta20]

Loving the new channel rebrand! As a cook, woodworker, and a long time subscriber, this was a fantastic beautifully shot episode! The woodworker in me cringed when you said staining and then wiped on polyurethane, would have loved to see an oil finish on that similar to a cutting board, would have been cool. Awesome seeing your dads craft!

[@ctingulz]

Beautiful desk. I plan to make something similar. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@JuanRamos-wg5ol]

Wow, that is an awesome customized desk.

[@bbluepixels]

Not sure if you've already thought about this, but I would get a laptop stand and a keyboard. I've switched to using my one monitor, and keeping my laptop closed. It's clean and there's enough space on the monitor for all my windows, plus we can only multitask so much so better to keep it minimal. For window management look into Spectacle, snap all your windows in place so you're not dragging and resizing things with your mouse. Productivity!!!

[@MGHallmann]

Looking delicious, both the pasta and the chef :)

[@gc7956]

Those videos are kind like Alex French Guy Cooking , with DIY all around the cooking process :) it’s great btw !

[@projectourtube772]

I was thinking the same thing both redoing studios recently too
