[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks for being patient with me as I work on new videos. Don't forget to check the descriptions for additional details and links. You can watch the rest of the series here: ▶ kzbin.info/aero/PLB6HvE9eDWohWhiMXV8CPDCD2TbhA8dov

[@thesuleimany]

I really love your work btw. I would really love to see a collab with MODE on an aesthetic split mechanical keyboard if you are into them. I think that would be a dream.

[@edwardleefilms]

Your ability to envision such unique designs/layouts and then build it all yourself is seriously so cool. Thanks for all the time you put into this video Matthew!

[@MatthewEncina]

Trying my best to exercise my creativity in as many ways possible.

[@mattwright9596]

Like a guided meditation. I'm always way calmer after watching your projects, Matthew!

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks Matt

[@ItsAsiasia]

An organizer who can build their own storage solutions *chefs kiss*

👌🏽

[@rohanxart]

The whole studio is a perfect workspace for a creative. Great job Matthew!

[@MatthewEncina]

Cheers

[@LeGeNd00703]

What I love most about you is your personality of not settling and achieving more and more, never satisfied. You could have just stopped with projects once your home was complete but you kept on going to satisfy yourself and your viewers. I appreciate you so much, been subscribed since 2020❤❤

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you for being part of the journey.

[@TheOfficials.x]

Hard work pays off. You and your father are a beautiful force. Can’t wait to see the creative videos you make with the workspace stuff you have built.

[@MatthewEncina]

Appreciate that. It's been a blessing to work on these with family.

[@jimz6076]

This is simply genius. Love that you and your Dad did this together.

[@MatthewEncina]

Cheers

[@JM_Architecture]

I love how the work table + project walls really anchor the entire studio together visually. Great job! **stoked for the coffee setup too

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks! I agree, visually it gave that corner a good weight.

[@mowenurbano4677]

I love how you immediately worked on the workshop you made, that must be so fulfilling when someone's using the thing you built.

[@MatthewEncina]

Yes, it's been fantastic to use the space

[@michael_afonso]

I see where you get your eye for creative thinking. Love that you do these projects with your father. You'll remember it for a lifetime.

[@MatthewEncina]

I'm grateful for it.

[@raydejesus6230]

For this and other content you have shared I find amazing that you get to do stuff with your father. I hope you know and appreciate how fortunate you are. Keep doing great stuff and involve your Dad as much as you can. He truly will appreciate and value time spent with you. Be well and thanks for your amazing content.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you for the reminder. I am very grateful for the time.

[@raydejesus6230]

The thing is I have profound context in this regard as a son who no longer has his Dad, and as a Dad who has lost a son. It brings me joy to see others enjoy this specific type of relationship. Blessings.

[@mowenurbano4677]

I am more amazed and delighted by your cute father and brother helping you out.

[@MatthewEncina]

Family is everything

[@nspyrtraining8265]

These videos are just simply therapy to my brain 😮‍💨 storytelling and though process is just “French Kiss”

[@MatthewEncina]

Cheers

[@the_arcanum]

The hidden offcuts storage location is genius. I'm stealing this !

[@MatthewEncina]

🙌🏽

[@yutubl]

Excellent workshop! Versatile, practically (re)organizable, easy cleanable and looking like an invitation for work.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks! I'm getting a lot of good use out of it.

[@jvazestudio]

I just admire the capability that you have to do all this planning and an almost perfect execution throughout the process, it just inspires me, hope one day could have a studio as cool as yours, cheers

[@MatthewEncina]

It’s a lot of work to design and refine it.

[@SolmonCyrusSarahbethDeliles]

I'm salivating. I've dreamed of building a work shop I can blend with my living area. So good.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks! It was definitely a challenge.

[@TheTransplantTexan]

I've been following this series since the beginning and I absolutely love you studio space. You've done an amazing job keeping things modular. I'm especially fond of your DIY building for your furniture. The final product looks great, but you don't weigh yourself down making everything overly complicated the way a lot of furniture builders would.

[@MatthewEncina]

I appreciate your kind words. Thanks!

[@Ekpap]

I love how your family has helped you through this whole process - seem like amazing people!

[@MatthewEncina]

So grateful for them

[@bizzobandoli]

Cara, o que eu mais tenho gostado dos teus vídeos é o intervalo de upload de um video para o outro! Da uma ideia clara que voce tem outros projetos, que as coisa demoram para serem feitas e a importância de um planejamento! Parabéns por mais um video incrível! Boa sorte!

[@MatthewEncina]

Yes, good things take time.

[@neriprg]

Love your dad helping.

[@MatthewEncina]

☺️

[@djcarlo]

what a workshop!

[@MatthewEncina]

The space is coming together.

[@mxmus08]

I have watched alot of office videos on youtube, but this is by far THE most next level creation I`ve ever seen. You custom built, by hand, a whole office.👏

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you

[@make.one.studio]

Hot damn. The dream office is almost complete! I just love seeing your dad helping out with your projects. Can't wait for the coffee area video. Enjoy your amazing space Matthew!

[@MatthewEncina]

It's getting there.

[@66meikou]

Nice idea and execution. Just a couple of suggestions from an architect. You could have put fibreglass batts in between the front and back panels of your movable screens for extra sound deadening. You should have installed levellers on the table in case your floor isn't level. Other than that, top not job and kudos for you dad coming up with the threaded insert idea. Us dad's come in handy sometimes ;)

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you for the tips. I considered stuffing the moving walls, but they would add weight, which I wanted to keep to a minimum. I may consider it the future, but perhaps with a more robust base/casters.

[@savvysurveyor5318]

30 seconds in, and I already know how great this is. I can see the design process and hours of thought before building. Love it 👊🏼

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you.

[@longhaulpreacher5823]

You are a genius. My mother-in-law is chaffing at us moving in to take care of her, doesn’t want a workshop anywhere near her place to the point of coming up with excuse upon excuse not to build one outside, but we are building two offices for our counseling and law practices. I might be able to do this with part of my counseling office and not look ridiculous. Only thing I would have liked are the plans you put together. Thanks!

[@MatthewEncina]

Glad I can provide some inspiration. Good luck with the build!

[@TylerCheeseman]

easily one of my favourite ongoing DIY projects on KZbin right now. so thorough and such a beautiful result. great work all around!

[@MatthewEncina]

I appreciate that

[@Havenotats]

I hope you never run out of upgrades to this workshop for our sake

[@MatthewEncina]

🙏🏽

[@Skysams]

Hi My Friend! Congratulations for your new project, It's a Amazing! I just see the video right now! Wonderful design! Your videos are really inspiring to me! Today I finished my Desk nook remodeling. I don't have any expertise with wood and tools but I can do it by myself! I'm very proud! Now my Desk nook have Mobility and use flexibility. The cable management will be more efficient and invisible. Thanks a Lot! See you in your next video.

[@MatthewEncina]

Congrats! Enjoy the process of learning and improving.

[@flosenmosen]

I simply enjoy listening to you and it's nice to see how skilled your family is at craftsmanship. Out of pure curiosity: What kind of car do you drive?

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you.

[@angelmedina713]

Hello Matthew! I am sure you might disregard this comment but I would like to first start by saying thank you for being such an amazing and influential person in this world. It is no doubt that through your creativity and innovation, you have helped thousands of people achieve their dream office, gaming, or workspace setup. I remember about 5 years ago when I first started renovating my room and organizing my desk setup. I admired the way you would approach your ideas. The planning, the setup, the execution, and the revision. Recently I have seen a lot of social media posts on Instagram reels and Tik tok about peoples set up. It was great at first, as people were sharing their own innovative ideas and unique setups. It felt almost as if a conversation was happening through the sharing of desk setups. When you saw something you liked from someone's set up you could ask them about it and/or implement that in your own setup. Now it feels as if everyone is trying to shove their affiliate link down your throat (In no way am I accusing you of doing this, I simply want to describe what the splurge of "influencers" is causing). It's sad to see the unique setups deteriorate as every popular and "viral" tik tok are those that have a grovemade desk shelf, audio engine speakers, with the most expensive desk. I feel as if everyone's setup has become the identical set up and this is like the motto. "This is what your desk set up should look like if you want it to be nice." Don't get me wrong they are all nice and I don't mean to diss even though it seems like I am. It becomes frustrating when a majority of your viewers who are not wealthy upper-class, coders can't have a setup like that. A realistic setup is maybe a fraction of what these influencers are putting out. I know my cheap Ikea desk won't get the attention and likes of the fancy Sway desk that has a fancy grovemade shelf on it. I'm happy with my $25 amazon desk shelf. I don't blame you at all for this but I feel like you have more of a positive influence on the community. Can we see a budget-friendly video? Can we make a pushback from expensive means the best? I know a lot of those companies are not greed-hungry corporations and the handmade wood products require a lot of skill and labor. Just because someone can't afford a pair of brand sneakers, does that make him any less of a person?

[@MatthewEncina]

I don't equate expensive with the best. In fact there are no absolutes, just what's right for you. If it helps you do your work, and you're happy, then it's right for you. ✌🏽 "Budget setup" isn't necessarily a good fit for me, and there are plenty of creators who make stuff like this. So as for now, I don't plan to make content like that, but will consider it for the future.

[@stevensuum]

your dad is a hero! love him

[@MatthewEncina]

He's the best. And my brother.

[@FromNto1]

Masterpiece as always! Love from China ❤

[@MatthewEncina]

Appreciate that!

[@artmart86]

That gap that you have on the acoustic panels you could add some kind of rechargable light spots/bars to illuminate that side

[@MatthewEncina]

Or some kind of frame. Thanks for sharing

[@Basa.]

Looking forward to see the upcoming projects, that's a nice setup you have, congrats! 🔥💯

[@MatthewEncina]

Cheers

[@user-se1fy2pw4x]

Hi Matthew, My only question is " Are you happy?", but I think I know the answer is "YES" :) From my point of view, you are blessed and you working hard to made everyhing in your mind. Feel happy for you : )

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you.

[@rock_customs]

Such unique and really usefull design u come up with is the best thing and the boards look awsome 🔥

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks. It was challenging but very fun

Amazing space, and super cool to see your family help you put it all together!

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you Tom!

[@ianbarretoart]

Is doing a video about your recent experiments and learnings of latte art in your plannings? would love to see that. Thanks for the amazing quality, as always.

[@MatthewEncina]

Some of it will be included in my next coffee video.

[@sebastianjautschus]

Hey Matthew, this series is becoming more and more a masterpiece to me - the level of planing and vision. I would LOVE to know more about how you plan for the future, set goals, and act out on them! 😇🦦

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks! I will take note of that for future content.

Very organized. And it looks great. I love that you have all the things you need handy… but easily hidden to make the space comfortable. I also love the large work table. Great workspace and place to congregate.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Oscar.Aguilar]

Hi Matthew. Love the woodworking projects besides your other design content. How do you go about organizing your woodworking tools? Which tools do you recommend to build some of things you've built in this channel? Have you done a garage organization video? Thanks for sharing this!

[@MatthewEncina]

Hey thanks. I don't have a garage, and my tools are all kept here. I've linked my tools used in most of my videos if you check the descriptions. I'd say the top two things worth getting are a circular saw with a track (or track saw) and a good power drill. Those are the top two tools I use most often when breaking down and joining pieces together.

Small tip, put mineral wool inside the rolling project walls, and you'll see a massive difference :)

(for acoustic treatment + it makes everything fire resitant as a plus)

What’s the material cost for a table like this (excluding screws)?

[@mmaloney324]

Hey Matthew, love the new office. The recently added 4x8 work/design bench coupled with the rollable idea boards look incredibly functional and beautiful. I've been a subscriber for a little over a year now and I've always been astounded by your quick learning when it comes to the design and build process in regards to the woodworking world. I have been a wood worker for the last 20 years now which I mostly enjoy doing as a creative hobby. I also enjoy creative-style ways of thinking in the realm of design, drawing, photography and more recently cinematography. I gotta be honest and say I'm quite envious that you're working close with Ken from Grovemade 😅 but also very happy for you since I see just how much work you've put in to this pursuit (I've only had the pleasure of hearing back from Jeff with Ugmonk in regards to finishing/ polishing techniques with their Analog, Pen Tray and Wooden Catch-all 😮‍💨) But anyway, what I wanted to say is that since you're a designer and dabble in woodworking, I'd highly recommend a few brand/ tool changes that I think would cater more towards the up-scale audience and vibes of a chill, yet serious studio. Your Makita drills look good, but I'd ditch the Ridgid Shop vac and go with a Festool HEPA Dust Extractor 🤷‍♂ I have the CT 15 E and it is well worth the price. I've used Ridgid Vacs in the past and they're fine for maybe a garage or construction site, but Festool products are simply exquisite, higher quality and much more reliable and always frustration-free ( that alone is worth the $400 asking price if you're in business for yourself ). I'd also highly recommend Bessey clamps because again the materials and feel are top quality. Woodpecker is great and absolutely the most accurate in the measurement/ keeping-things-aligned-and-straight department. Starrett makes amazing combo squares and Veritas for fine woodworking tools. I have a few Veritas mortise chisels (Walnut handle with PM-V11 Steel) and they are simply a work of art. This is just my opinion however and by no means am I telling you what to do. I just think if you had tools like these, those that watch your videos and those that visit your office will think to themselves "Wow, this guy means business." Anyway! I always enjoy your content and can't wait to see what comes out of this studio of yours in the not so distant future.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you for the thoughtful comment and suggestions. I think over the years, if I continue to keep woodworking, I will progressively update my tools from the mostly hand-me-downs and budget options. Cheers!

Some really wonderful ideas. I wish I had space for some of them (more for my costumer wife than graphic designer me), but NY space just doesn’t make it totally feasible. Hopefully I can incorporate some of them in future redecorations or spaces. 👍

[@MatthewEncina]

I think many of these ideas can be applied to a small space. You just have to spend time developing concepts.

[@SydneyLevy20]

Hey Matthew, another great video as always. Been sporadic with my YT consumption, but having the whole series to watch is sublime. Quick question: where is your mug/cup from? Looks great and I'd love to add it to my collection. If it's handmade, well darn. Thanks!
