DIY Desk with hidden laptop storage using reclaimed pallet wood - How to make

[@haroldalexis4200]

No complaints no negative comments. That's why you have these shows on tv & social media. I learned something out of this! I do it for 3 reasons: enjoying the skills of making woodworking.& furniture, hobbies & repairs. Making a living ? That's okay too. Expensive? What isn't. That's why all these TV shows have sponsors & supply the power tools the woodworkers operate on air! Very good job! 👷👋👋👋👋👋👋

its so refreshing to see a youtuber using common man tools and techniques .... it came out great man.... thanks for representing the 99% of woodworkers/makers

[@makeit5272]

Thank you very much CementRoots!

[@bigbearnelson]

@@makeit5272 I was thinking the same thing. I love watching creators grow their abilities and shops but seeing everything get CNC'd and 3D printed is disheartening for a limited tools guy like me.

[@felixreali7101]

@@bigbearnelson common? a planer is not that common...

[@neonkillzaff6163]

Commo I don't have a million dollar woodshop in the back of my house

[@mr.smallshop9787]

This is really nice. I like how you fixed 2 problems with the magnets for the cable compartment.

[@stanceonlife7883]

Blew my mind within 15 seconds, showing the hidden laptop compartment!

[@comepaintwithme6575]

I love it so smart to add a computer compartment

[@chel-lalasveganmania]

Appreciate the acknowledgment throughout the video of the limits of your tools and what would have been better right down to the nail choices simply being what was lying around. It often feels like people just have perfect workshops and you come across as very real.

[@francoisnel5253]

He comes across as having the perfect workshop to me. I've never even seen some of these tools before.

[@mrcwoodworks4523]

I am a carpenter ! And I wouldn’t be able to build this seriously !

[@rjtumble]

Wow that came out nice. If you ever find yourself mounting a power strip, here's a neat method. Make a photo copy of the back, then put the photo copy wherever you want to mount it and use an awl to mark the spots for the screws. It lets you be very precise. I've used this a couple times and it works great. Especially if the strip is vertical since you can make sure the paper is in just the right spot before marking the holes.

[@CementRoots]

@rjtumble I've always wondered why there are no thru hole on powerstrips ... I've thrown caution to the wind a few times and drilled holes as close to the corners of the strip... i've been lucky so far.... ;)

[@nickgroen89]

I have respect for your crafts! But also recording the process and explaining what youre doing is even more challenging +1000

[@makeit5272]

Thank you Nick!

[@ALONSOIBARRA1967]

i think so,

[@kendraw6255]

You said “and that’s it for this one” as if this was a breeze...sheesh! Wish I was this patient and skilled.

[@1557Reckless]

This is what I've been looking for! I use my desktop for gaming and personal use, and on the weekends I use a work laptop and this hidden compartment is perfect for putting my laptop away for the rest of the day until I work again the next morning rather than having it laying around and having my toddler knocking it over or digging it in and out of a laptop bag.

[@LisaChuch]

Absolutely love this!!! I was looking for a hidden compartment for a Bay Window bench seat when I came across this.

[@adam_xidig2196]

Hope I could build my own Table like that in some day and I appreciated

[@MyWoodle]

Just about to finish my own desk, and took a lot of inspiration from your build. Gorgeous piece of furniture and thank you for a well put together video and the inspiration to make my own desk!

[@benefitthirteen]

It may have taken a little longer than you planned, but the end result was worth it. I appreciated how some design elements were modified on the fly - problem solving at it's best. Thanks for the video.

[@angiebaby8870]

Awe man. Show me your ways. This is REALLY a blessing to be given the knowledge to duplicate something as insanely creative and beautiful as this desk is

[@justineambrocio7579]

when you realize that some of the DIY's are way better than what you can buy on the market.

[@docdoctme]

Wow! Such a beautiful desk and like the contrast of wood colors. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@IcoKirov]

i love those Do It Yourself. all you need to do it yourself is like a professional carpenter workshop and you are good to go!

[@andrey33region29]

Гениально!!!! Крутая работа!

[@ArcanaKnight]

I really like using the knothole look to hide the cable management hole, it really blends in.

[@samerazar]

This is very professional

[@marc6340]

This is such a cool desk. And the use of recycled pallet wood is a plus. I don't like the tressel (sawhorse) end, though. It (to me) looks out of place. I would have just extended the top all the way down the side (using pallet wood) in a straight line with maybe a notched out bottom. Great project, though! I'm definitely stealing this idea! lol

[@paulomiguel33]

Outstanding craft job

[@jem42670]

This is a great video man! Thanks for the ideas and for all the people that don't have all these tools remember there's more than one way to make all these cuts and joints.

[@rodw]

I really enjoyed the video and as a new woodworker I definitely like the narating. It really helps people like me who are learning. Some videos play music and hold things up to the camera so quickly and I guess we are supposed to know what to do. Really? Thanks for sharing your talent and video, Rodney

[@dasmyadventure5556]

looks great and very creative, nice machine too

[@makeit5272]

Thank you Jef Corts!

[@RatomirFilipovic]

Cast top in termoscopic paint and cast it in midnight blue resin or twilight resin, if you want ridiculously crazy color, i think it would fit this build

[@mikaz0850]

Dude your personal wood shop is nicer than the one at my school.

[@garethsharp4039]

That's a fantastic desk! I love the hidden laptop table/compartment. Brilliant!

[@abelinkin]

Do you have a video on that box around your mitre saw for dust collection. That looks very cool.

[@makeit5272]

I didn't make a "how to" video on the dust collection box around my miter saw. However, there is a short video clip of it on my Instagram page on how the dust collection box works when removing it and putting it back on. The link to my Instagram page is in the description if you are interested in looking at that. I made it super easy to attach and detach using lever clamps I got at Harbor Freight.

[@DAAC86]

now i just need all the tools to make it well nice table indeed looks great

[@vegasjill21]

Wow!!! Now THAT is really a beautiful desk...and it's genius!!! I love that everything when not being used can be tucked in their hidey holes and all that can be seen is the beautiful wood and craftsmanship!!!! Good job!!

[@daezidoo]

So cool. It’s beautiful.

[@iwmiwannamake7604]

you got me with that knot hole. Brilliant!

[@madmax5579]

You are a genius man what a beautiful job

[@makeit5272]

Thank you Mad Max!

[@douglasadams4540]

Oh my that is very nice.

[@ants9230]

Nice job. It's amazing what you can accomplish with some old pallets and a bit of imagination.

[@grod0051]

Wow, what a great idea with the hidden areas for laptop and cord.

[@josemoreno7785]

honestly who unlikes this?!!

[@MrCrocker2]

Those people that think pocket screws isn't real woodworking lol

[@versatileduplicity9313]

Oh shit !!! When he lifted up that laptop compartment !!!

[@StuffUCanMake]

Man, you are a real genius!!!

[@makeit5272]

Haha, no. When you have little kids that get into EVERYHING you find ways to stump them! We'll see how long this last with my two year old.

[@NahumLarios]

best idea ever

[@nomusebefriends]

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

[@makeit5272]

[@carolfisher1240]

Great workmanship! Wow

[@davidp605]

Wow. You are a master craftsman

[@mikefaber4068]

I like your table saw and router table set up do you have a video of how you set it up with your table?

[@makeit5272]

No I unfortunately do not. I was lucky enough that my router table top fit perfecting between the table saw glide rails. It is a great space saver for small shops.

[@doratiscareno5856]

GREAT 🔧🔩🔨CRAFTSMANSHIP....👍

[@donfillenworth1721]

Nice! I really like the combination of white painted cabinet with pallet wood top. Thanks for sharing.

[@markmclennan7877]

Very impressive. Well done. I would make the part of the leg on the left hand side of the desk flush with the desk top as I could see myself bumping into it on a regular basis. Otherwise champion effort.

[@jeremybauer3439]

Absolutely inspired. Great job!

[@rahimamoqthar992]

Soo much technical it can be done by very experts... 👍

[@jasonmccoy258]

enjoyed the video and the build design. gave me some ideas.

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Very clever .looks awesome.

[@gardenfishes]

pretty cool. I think it might raise up better if you use that second hole,and either use spacers and a bar.

[@ConstantXplorer]

Nicely done

[@BronkBuilt]

Really love the laptop storage. Great job!

[@coolmusic1579]

Nice desk build.

[@NASTYcraftX]

I have the same planer. The dust collection on mine is very poor. Yours seems better in the video.

[@michs1708]

great design! well done

[@anellejournal]

love to watch this kind of video.

[@lovetolearn2749]

Subscribed after 2 seconds of seeing the cool hiding compartments!!! Awesome!! :)

[@eleosrobertarcon2669]

Panning thoroughly ahead of time could have save a lot of resources, time, and effort

[@ITS_ERNO_]

I made exactly the same desk thanks guys :)

[@Dukeofslescia]

That's an awesome job! Well done mate!

[@makeit5272]

Thank you!

[@msleolicious]

I love it!! I love your attention to details. Quite impressive. Very nice job of clear views on how you did each step. I appreciate the time you took to talk through each step clearly and precisely. I’ve subscribed to your channel because of this one video. Can’t wait to see more of your work. True craftsmanship is a beautiful dying piece of our society

[@JoseNunez-sr1cp]

Really a nice piece of furniture. I would prefer a different style for the legs but who am I to say. :). I’m not even close to that talent. :).

Beautiful!!!!

[@JK-jl1bf]

Very impressive.👍🏻

[@julienbalastegui]

This is SO cool ! very great ideas

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

Definitely enjoyed the build. The hidden compartments made the IT geek in me jump for joy. LOL. Truly a great design and build. Keep up the great work.
