Have a look on my New project, i hope you guys will like it.. 🪛🪚🛠🔩👷‍♂ kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqObo6GwqceUjdk

[@sanin93]

Now this is actually DIY with tools that most of us would have, and not $5k worth of tools TY for the tutorial and the list of materials at the end

[@LEOKHAN]

You are welcome 🙂 that was the main purpose!! No fancy tools required.. just build it ✌🏼

[@neonnerd1364]

You can make a trip to harbor freight and get a jig saw and drill for a total of $40. I built a Sim rig for Sim racing and drifting and with having no wood skills it came out amazing. Diy doesn't have to be a hand saw and screwdriver.

[@LEOKHAN]

i know DIY is not meant to be done only with hand saw or screw drivers... it was done for the people who thinks power tools are compulsory do build any diy project. i have my basic power tools .. but i tried to show even you have these hand tools.. you can build this too!! without any hesitation or must buy some power tools.. no offense brother, purpose is different of this video. :) and i love to see your SIM racing setup.. even i am gona make it too.. its in the pipeline :)

[@Drake239Dragon]

I also made a table for myself a year ago, the wood was cut in a store to the size I needed, and the only tools I had to buy were wood drills. I borrowed a drill and an electric jigsaw from friends. The hardest thing for me was putting it all together in a small apartment. Spent $30-40 on all materials

[@drgta6]

Sure, it'll take longer doing it this way and a lot of strain on your wrists.

[@kirkm5]

Big thumbs up for an honest video. An actual DIY project with no nonsense like, "now I'll run it through my $3000 planer," or "Just use this biscuit joiner... links in the description!" .

[@LEOKHAN]

You... my man!! have actually got my point of this video!!!! BIG THANKS!

[@drgta6]

He probably has a nice planer. There is no way in hell lumber comes straight like that.

[@LEOKHAN]

lol i dont have any planer or professional power tools or a garage full of industrial tools 🤣 it just comes like this from local dealers. even i can select the quality and straight ones..

[@mandoreforger6999]

Uses a power drill, but no driver bit? That is old school.

[@LEOKHAN]

it is brother.. 😏

[@theonknowner5510]

What i love about this is that this is literally such a cheap DIY project, give tips like using painters tape without the need for clamps, no planers, joiners, just straight up skill and patience. Respect

[@LEOKHAN]

Thank you soo much, appreciate that, That was the main purpose, people stops because of not having fancy tools.. That's why I showed, even with simple tools you can make anything if you want to!! (Of course not saying about engineering works) lol

[@LEOKHAN]

have a look on a new project.. i hope you'll like it :)

[@Traiphanri]

Nói hay lắm chú

[@DOA220]

"Here is an easy DIY: -Step 1: turn on your industrial sized router table next to your wire saw and your 20inch $4,000 planer." You know the guy is out of your league if they don't have a single speck of saw dust in their video.

Perfect project for my 12 yr old son and me. Thanks for the great how to

[@LEOKHAN]

Glad it was helpful.. yes plz try it. You will be satisfied in the end.. And thanks man!! More on the way!!

[@ValorTheAstronaut]

Im using my sons cellphone to leave a comment since my new one hasnt arived yet. Im a hobbiest woodworker, and have say, that while I definately do not have 'all' the power tools I would wish to have, I should say it was refreshing to see someone go through the 'necessary steps' without even sanding anything, apart from breaking off loose fibers with the saw blade?!! What you accomplished with just the 'absolute minimum of tools'(I definatly would'a-been switching back and forth between the drill-bit, and a freaking screw-driver-bit.!! It was killing my carpoltunel just watching you put those screws in by hand.! Im a 58yr old diesel mechanic.), good deal of sweat, and maybe a few tears is quite admerable.

[@LEOKHAN]

Your comment is an honour for me.. and now I think I have accomplished, what I was trying hard for.. everything was done on purpose, specially for the people who think power tools are a must for building such simple things... I myself is an old school guy too. Had to show what you have seen here. I m utterly happy to see your comment, this justified my hard work...& This video... thank you again for you honest comment & I'm glad you liked it. As a fellow hobbiest woodworker, I use to work on cars too. But now this is my only hobby left. I m glad to find a like minded fellow like you, have a look on my other projects too, All made by the same process.. & Sorry about hurting your carpal tunnel lol. 😂 I had a good forehand exercise in the process... Thanks again sir & stay tuned for more..

[@V1N_574]

Nice elegant work! The same song for 22 minutes was a bit much though 😂

[@LEOKHAN]

Thanks 😅 & I apologise for the song, I was in a hurry to upload this project lol

[@smpcreativemedia5020]

TBH I like the repeating song...watched the whole thing with my head bopping😂Kept playing it when I did inventory on what I had on this list...besides the wood, Im good to go🤣...it's my motivation!

[@Johnny-tt7nb]

This is the real deal, i was thrown off doing stuff like this because most videos people have hundreds and thousands of dollars in equipment and I've always wanted to find a video like this. Thanks!

[@LEOKHAN]

I appreciate that brother & I'm glad that this video becomes helpful!!! That was the main purpose of this video, if you Wana build something you don't have to buy soo many equipment first . Thanks again brother.. check my other videos too they are made by the same process..

[@terriffingtea]

Legend makes a "Do It Yourself " that you actually DO YOURSELF, no big fancy tools that realistically only woodworkers would have. Awesome work my friend ❤❤

[@LEOKHAN]

True story brother !! 😄 Thank you soo much for your honest comment.. appreciate that a lot 🙏🏻❤️

[@LEOKHAN]

That was the main purpose of this video . And I'm glad you liked it . And now I think I finally succeeded. 🙏🏻❤️❤️

[@BretWrightSTUFF]

Awesome…but, I am still using my Mitre saw. Simple and strong and cable managed, paint.. filler.. inspiring..I am inspired

[@LEOKHAN]

Of course if you have a mitter saw or any power tools.. just build it ! The purpose of this video was to show people that you can build anything with Basic tools too.. if you wanna build something.. people who don't have power tools or proper workbench can build this too.. without any hesitation.. And thanks man ... I'm glad you liked it..!! Meant alot ❤️

[@izzydubmusic]

Best DIY video I’ve seen. Didn’t use an entire shop worth of tools or space.

[@LEOKHAN]

that was the plan and the purpose..!!! so an Average human being/diy guy can build it too (easily at home).... not everybody can afford thousands of $ worth of equipment & space... glad you liked it brother... thanks man!! more on the way.. :)

[@djfinn78]

Great video thanks for sharing. Getting back to making our own stuff instead of giving Wally World all our money for junk is a big goal of mine, very inspiring!

[@LEOKHAN]

Exactly...Right on!! That was the main purpose, if you can easily build according to your needs...then why pay the hefty price... Thanks man, appreciate that ..

[@MychealJones]

I really enjoyed your diy. If I had not already purchased my L-shaped desk, I would’ve built this desk.

[@LEOKHAN]

Thanks brother..!! Appreciate that a lot... Very soon I'm Gona convert it into L-shaped desk too 😄

[@VibinWithStyle]

the music put me to sleep, and im totally here for it, great build!

[@LEOKHAN]

apologies my friend for the music... made in a hurry. glad you like the build!!! thanks man

[@kaijugabriel1685]

Your video saved me. I bought a table thinking the legs were made of iron but they were made of thin wood painted black 🙄. I didn't want to return the top because it was of good quality at least. Your video is good precisely because you only need a drill, thanks

[@LEOKHAN]

I'm super glad it helped you!!!! ❤️

[@designerivan9775]

I'm woodworker and you did an excellent job. Love the joint technic you did, very reliable. I'm proud of you.

[@LEOKHAN]

Thank you soo much Brother!! Thanks for the appreciation 🙏🏻

[@Drake239Dragon]

The table turned out quite good, it looks good. A year ago I made myself an ordinary rectangular table to replace the awkward corner one, and spent 30-40 dollars on it. As a tabletop I used a wall from an old cabinet, which I got for free, and assembled a frame from 50x50mm wood. My table came out good in my opinion, but I still didn’t think through some aspects or they appeared after assembly and some of them cannot be changed without additional investments

[@Drake239Dragon]

I also have an idea to make a new table, which will be corner, but more comfortable, I’m thinking of using metal as the frame material, but this is in case one of my friends has a welding machine, and also buy a cheap kitchen countertop as a table surface

[@LEOKHAN]

Thanks man.!! i appreciate that... well obviously you have to add a tiny amount of investment into it, if you are using some used or saved materials.. even thought after 30- 40 dollars, i bet i must be better than prebuilds ones, coz its custom made according to your need and space.. i endorse everyone to better build it then buying costly ones, it's just a basic table, no rocket science in these stuff lol. ones again glad a have a fellow DIY guy here. i hope i iwll be able to help in future.. :) REMEMBER: Embrace the imperfections.!! :) thank you

[@LEOKHAN]

Metal frames are good and sturdy, but it will surely cost you a lot then wood ones. but if you know how to weld clean, and cost is no issue. then GO for it.!!

You definitely didn't make it easy on yourself. That many screws aren't required with all the glue (for those considering their wallets). Very nice job though. Someone send this man a circular saw and impact driver at least please.

[@LEOKHAN]

lol thanks a lot man..!! :D that was intentionally made on purpose, Without power tools..!! so people who have basic household tools can build this too. that amount of screw were used for solid rigidity, they are very cheap :D once again thank you!! i already have jigsaw and some power tools lol

not bad. love the rbgs one simple but major addition to tools for this job would be a carpenter's square. you can pick one up for $5-10(USD) itll help ensure your lines are straight, cuts are square, and alignment is true. Also, from a structural standpoint, you could use only three screws in a triangle shape and it'd be just a strong as four screws.

I’m impressed with the work that went into this but the mdf made me a little sad if you are making this and have a little more budget I’d recommend a hardwood plywood and iron on edge banding which would improve the feel strength quality and looks while also making yourself proud that you are better than that scary store called ikea. 😊

[@LEOKHAN]

lol i definitely tried to go against that Store that make stuff of cardboards.. 😂 i used Mdf coz of its Lamination & many options of textures, it was easy to get and base is designed to hold its shape and make it sag proof, i sealed the edges to make it waterproof, because even on edge banding it soaks up the water and bloating happens when its in use. surely in the future i'll put a Hardwood top if i find it in a affordable price. coz the this table was made to be Cost effective while easy to build.. thanks brother 👍

Gotta be careful with that though. You could end up like me and start dealing with Carpal Tunnel. Screwing stuff in like that by hand just isn’t worth it. I do give you props for predrilling though it’s usually not necessary for soft woods like white pine.

[@LEOKHAN]

yes it is not necessary.. but it keeps the pine safe of cracking at the end and it keeps it aligned too. and these screwing stuff by hand is for those who don't have power tools available..not every body / newbie have to buy power tools just to start building these stuff. :) motivation is necessary

Thanks man.. yes go for it.. basically i made it to hold 2 systems under on each sides and you can add 2 more on top too.. your solid core door is perfect for holding all the weight easily & you can add 2 drawers too each side.. i could have build it more cleaner then this.. but i had to kill my (Perfectionism OCD) a bit in this project and Failed to succeed LOL hope you'll enjoy building it .. thanks again. !

The best part about building your furniture is that you customize it to whatever space you have. And it's cheap!!

[@LEOKHAN]

Absolutely 100%

[@basebro]

[@LEOKHAN]

Glad you like it! Thankyou..!

[@franceb3156]

I love this! but muted.. but I love this!

[@LEOKHAN]

Apologies my friend... And thank you!!!!!

[@miloichon8367]

Looks great!!! Would be great if you added something to easily disassembling it in case you want to move the table to another room. Awesome job.

[@LEOKHAN]

Thanks man!! well for moving to another room.. i've used some Caster wheels.. for completely disassembling it we have you use bolts and nuts, or hinges. its very light weight, moves very freely on wheels. :)

So, depending on where in the world you are this will be MUCH more expensive than $45. In the USA, most MDF boards of that size are at LEAST $60, and that is without the nice woodgrain pattern on top. Add all the rest in and you are looking for at least $200+ for something like this. still nice, but way more than $45. But like I said, that is what it cost for where I am in the USA. I know some countries have much cheaper hardware cost

[@LEOKHAN]

i am sorry brother i cant understand why in the USA people don't find wholesale dealers for this MDF boards.. it's the cheapest material around the world, in Europe, Africa, Asia even in middle east too.... i think if u can find a Local production manufacturer. the price wont be this high, but it has to be a Local manufacturer. these mdf boards are made from waste.. $60 a board too high. even 1x2s arnt used as much as 2x4s... but any ways.. i hope you will be able to find one or if u wana use an alternative, a plywood can be used with the veneer, its gona be more cheaper then this i think... or plywood is costly too there..???? just wana know. any ways.... thanks for the visit and comment brother.. i hope you liked the process :)

I have a similar plan in place for a gaming L-Desk but it uses 2x2s for legs

[@LEOKHAN]

That's perfect too!!! I tried to save some lumber and cost with 1x2s.. :)

[@autophreaktrishield]

A nice L desk, 30" tall and shelves everywhere.

[@eopo1999]

Fantastic video!! I'm close to move out from my parents house and the only thing left to buy was a desk but none of the available ones in the market complied with my expectations. This handmade definitely does!!! It's very easy to made it. Thanks for the video!

[@LEOKHAN]

That is awesome! I'm glad that it suits your needs & expectations!!! Yes it is very easy to make.. go for it..! With some patience lol. You are welcome brother

[@AndreMaurell]

Parabéns pelo projeto. Minha mesa do computador foi feita por mim. Para o tampo eu utilizei uma porta de 2,10m x 0,70m.

[@LEOKHAN]

obrigado irmão. que bom que você usou uma porta em vez de um bloco sólido de madeira. é econômico, certo?

[@nitromax5150]

No shop full of power tool. Just a saw, and a basic drill.. Now that's DIY

[@LEOKHAN]

Thank You man!!!

[@Mr_JFord]

You might’ve inspired me to get rid of my current desk and make my own! How much do you think this weighs?

[@LEOKHAN]

Yesss goo for it!! All you need is little patience & in the end, It's Gona worth it.!! Don't know the exact weight but it's very lite because of 1x2s.

[@LEOKHAN]

new project uploaded :)
