Making a Desk from Plywood - Built in Wireless Charger

[@PaskMakes]

If anyones interested the plans are available here www.paskmakes.com/plans/p/plywood-desk

[@DaraHijazi]

Hello, great work, but I cannot find the free plans for this desk?!!

[@AGlimpseInside]

The best unspoken tip in this video is the bamboo skewer measuring trick. It begins at 17:00 so cool. Love this desk brother

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Yeah, he used this years ago, talked about then.

[@JuniperandSixth]

I liked having the air hose on hand while routing. Never thought to do that, always just kept a brush nearby or pulled down my mask to blow off the chips

[@AGlimpseInside]

@@chrisgriffith1573 Must’ve missed it. Makes sense why he didn’t mention it here. Suppose he didn’t wanna sound like a broken record.

[@MyMangoSuck]

little tecniques like that one, the simple wood clamps at 2:05 and the little pieces of ply to hold the charger at 22:15 are so cool to me. Probably effective solutions he came up with experience.

[@marcsenteney3160]

Indeed!

[@romanjakusz1991]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@martinlouden9005]

A lovely piece of furniture. Reminiscent of the 60s designs.

Thanks very much Martin! :)

This guy is such a nice guy. I just went and checked his plans. Most of them are free. I truly believe he does this because he enjoys sharing with hobby. Great work sir Love from Sri Lanka

[@chetleonard169]

The angled surface edge looks really great! Plywood layers typically aren't very attractive, but you've managed to make them a highlight!! Well Done.

[@prestonian1066]

Yes. I would have used them for the top they were so attractive.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

That's an appreciative child you've got.

[@benjamingarman9760]

Anyone else start out thinking, "nice I'll be able to do this one," and finish the video like, "damnit pask , I can't even come close. " Love all the stuff. Thanks man

[@boots7859]

LOL, yes had the exact same thoughts.

[@PaskMakes]

I'm sure you could do it and it could be simplified too. Glad you enjoyed it! :)

@@PaskMakes one day for sure. Still building the collection and practicing on stuff for the shop. Keep being awesome man, really love the stuff. Inspiration.

[@1Rangers08]

Totally. These guys make it look sooo easy. Make no mistake they are really intelligent.

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

If you don't have a router, use a coping saw. If you don't have a table saw, a circular saw can do the same thing - you can clamp a board down as a guide fence of necessary. Hell, you can use a hand saw, but it's going to be a workout. A round gouge can get you the hole for the charger. A forstner bit and router do make it easier, but they're not necessary. Just takes knowing how to work with what you have, or what you can get.

[@thejoetandy]

Beautiful, Pask. He'll have that a long long time.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Thanks, Neil. You brought back so many wonderful memories of my dad making things for my mom, sister & me over the years. He put as much love in his construction as you do. Well done.

[@CallumRepairs]

You've done a stellar job. I found my desk downstairs in this apartment block. Someone had dumped it and put a note on it "Free". I took it in to my flat and made a bunch of modifications to it to make it suit my needs. I wish it was a bit wider but otherwise, it does the job.

[@jasonsdickman]

Loooove form ply for the quality vs cost. Awesome for shop furniture. Nice use here in real furniture 👍🏻

[@andrewstephenwalker]

What a wonderful birthday gift!! Happy birthday to him 🎉

[@maxtester8824]

Best dad in the world I'd say! Elegant Desk, indeed!

[@nobuckle40]

Happy Birthday Bradley! Your dad did a great job making your desk. The design is so clean and elegant. He built it well so you may be able to hand it down to your children.

[@WOODDESIGN6730]

Simple but very neat.👍👍👍

[@MonicaLN]

Gorgeous! I particularly love the way the bevel on the underside turned out even if it's not very visible in the finished desk. So glad your son likes it! There's just something special about things someone you love makes for you 😊

[@OriginalRaveParty]

Superb work. Great, thoughtful design.

[@mkngjoy]

awesome build, great use for the formPly!

[@heyitsthatdude17]

17:20 neat trick with the bamboo skewers, great video as always Neil

[@trangnpt]

The way you do woodworking is so fine, so careful and detail.

[@mhorlor]

Doesn’t need to be perfect. Cuts a perfect circle with a router in dense plywood...

[@PaskMakes]

It wasn't bad at all but not perfect. I really did struggle to see what I was doing. :)

[@raymossop4610]

@@PaskMakes Hi Neil Try using a white or yellow pencil from a colouring pencil set to mark the form ply .Great job the desk looks very good Ray.

[@Dumadidak]

Had the same thoughts in that moment! :)

[@KPA78]

Well done! 👍 Love the deceptively simple retro-look of desk. Your remarkable skill as well as your love for your son are beautifully depicted in this video. Your son is blessed to have such a incredibly talented and loving father. ❤️

[@james1214]

Skewer trick is most excellent. I've been using a variation of that for years. I made a slide rule like tool that operates the same way, just is a dedicated tool.

[@Simphome]

God bless you!! I really like your out of the box ideas.

[@sapelesteve]

Very nicely done Neil! Your son is so lucky to have a Dad like you to make him a desk! 👍👍

[@snupmadra3787]

I smiled the whole way through this. Love the piece and love that you did that for your son. What a great dad to have!

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you enjoyed it Jim! :)

[@timcoombe7880]

Very nice as usual. Bradley is a lucky lad. Hope he enjoys it.

[@thndrgrrrl]

You are so talented! I love how you make your own jigs and walls as you need them. So smart! Your kids are super lucky to have such a Master Craftsman as their Dad.

[@FrankOperator]

Such a pleasure seeing you at work. Awesome video, great lad. You are very cool Mr. Pask!

[@rossmckenzie9446]

Great work Neil.

[@JDKempton]

-1 degrees here and snow, I'm jealous of the view out the shop doors

[@coalitionofrob436]

When it hits 40c+ (110f) your opinion may change!

[@Raytenecks]

For some reason I had it in my head that a tapering jig *needs* a runner underneath, but I can see now that it really just needs the fence at the right spot. That should make my life easier next time I have to create a quick one like you did here. Thanks!

The skewers to measure the drawer bottoms is a great idea! I’m building some now and this will make my life easier! Love your videos!!

Easily the best channel on KZbin. Every single video is entertaining.

[@billymacmakes]

Such a beautiful, simple design and built with expertise! Well done.

[@ytbillybob]

Using dowels to measure the drawer bottom size - genius. Best thing I've seen in a LONG time.

[@CulinaireZaken]

[@ShaboiFurniture]

Hard enough work, respect for your impeccable work!

[@domward8352]

Loved this video from start to finish. Thank you so much.

[@IshikaShanai]

I really appreciate the detail you put into your work, especially wiping off the excess glue with a damp rag to make clean-up and sanding easier. Small step, but it's really pleasing too look at being done as it shows the care you take throughout the entire building process.

[@aserta]

Good choice for the top. It lasts a very long time. I have a couple of bench tops made from the more industrial grade one and they are not treated with care, and they've faired well under the abuse.

[@willmorrison1022]

Sometimes a surprise source of that kind of thing is an old treadmill, usually gotten for free. The floors on those can be REALLY nice stuff. I got one that had a really nice piece of MDF coated 3/4" ply. I'm still not sure what to do with it, other than a glue table. It would be perfect, NOTHING sticks to that stuff, and it was free. Treadmills are a great source of all kinds of thing, and you look like a hero when you remove people's reminder of their failure and give them floor space back.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks! I've used it too over the years and you're right that it's very tough and still looks good over time! :)

[@aserta]

@@willmorrison1022 Yup. The coating is a plastic type (if memory serves me right) that's akin to teflon. And it has to be, if you think back to its intended use, i mean, concrete is one of the stickiest materials we can make, that's not directly glue. I've tools, that i had to dip in acid, to get the metal sheen back to them, after they were touched by concrete. So yeah, if you want a surface to work on, you cannot do better, short of spending the money on a teflon slab, which is infinitely more costly.

[@sawdray1]

Now, I know nothing of woodworking ... but ... "It doesn't have to be perfect" = Perfect. So cool to watch and learn.

[@jwstanley2645]

Thanks for the video. Love the skewer trick for measuring the drawer botton.

[@TheNATE8599]

great job looks awesome, I used to get all kinds of tear out when doing hole with a paddle bit or forstner bit until I learned a quick trick, run the bit in reverse until you get a nice clean cut started Then go forward...

[@PaskMakes]

The ones I used in this video are Fisch and they leave a super clean hole. I only have a small set of those so I have to use my cheaper set sometimes for certain sizes and they really don't cut so well (or clean). :)

[@davanders2006]

I wish we had form plywood here in Kentucky - USA, were I live, and not even on list of suppliers that I know about. Your son will have a that desk for years of enjoyment. Good job. Thanks for sharing

[@stephent6945]

This looks amazing - what a present! My four year old son and I love watching your videos - please don’t take this the wrong way but he finds your presentation very calming and it helps him go to sleep some nights... Might want to round over the bottom exposed edges/corner of the drawer section. I might be overly cautious but I reckon unless your son is super careful that might bite him at some point.

[@vorocid]

Lucky son!🙃🙃🙃🤩 Good work, I would pay for that desk
