Redesigning my Computer Workstation

[@AzimuthDirective]

I’m a maker. I watch your videos because I’m a maker. But you’re the only person in the space that inspires me to be more authentic about my making. No frills, just the joy of making. Thank you and I’m along for the long ride!

[@0xzi]

That monitor mount system is the most jank thing I have seen in a while and I absolutely adore it. Wonderful job and wonderful video/style!

[@kathrynmonsma]

wake up, infant, evan monsma just posted

[@badgerfoot]

This video is so kick ass in such a deinfluenced practical way.

[@Barnso]

Building with scrap gives things so much more character, well done :)

[@CbrSpsWzrd]

Dear Evan, I've been watching your content since your William Osman handle video, and I wanted to say you have completely and entirely reshaped my world. I now make daily and have expanded to new maker scenes I never thought I'd be into, all from the confidence I gained by osmosis from you (most recently being cameras and photography.) You even changed my mindset for life (for the better) For this, I'm forever grateful for you being here and providing so much to the community. Keep up the good shit, man, your impact is greater than you will ever know.

[@natnotn8]

I've been watching tons of workspace and desk videos. Everyone is always running to Ikea or showing off their fancy standing desk they were given. Thank you for showing us that there's alternatives out there.

[@EvanMonsma]

Thanks man. I’ve got a ton of those standing desk sponsors in my email lmao but I’ll never take em

[@quartzofcourse]

@@EvanMonsmacounterpoint take them and make something cool and unique with them. You got a car to fix after all, and I’d love to see some wild upside down desk or something made with it

[@berenvonbaggins]

What I really appreciate about your videos is that you keep it real; you aren't in your own world, you're in the same world as all of us are, with the same kind of real-world problems to overcome. None of us are going anywhere, so take all the time you need!

[@nhus5891]

Your work, and your perspective on creating is probably one of the most inspiring things I've ever come across. It makes me want to try. To fall back into the act of creating. Thank you

[@darkbrownfox]

this is just so real, what a breath of fresh air on the internet

[@jacksclevername]

Man, I love your content. I'm a really organized guy and couldn't personally handle the look and style, but I love your approach so much. Building things out to your specific needs, your style and aesthetic and your space. It's a massive inspiration towards slowly planning out and working on the work/craft space in my home.

[@Subfuture]

Your videos are always a pleasant moment, I hope you enjoy producing your own music.

[@EvanMonsma]

Thank you 🙏

[@itwasme2435]

Storytelling is on point, great stuff on that desk

[@bobpc2918]

That crappy aesthetic... I love it! So much authenticity, and so unique. It's very inspiring. Thank you!

[@TheWireLord]

Thank you so much for creating playlists today! I just found your channel the other day when this video went live. I wanted to watch everything you've uploaded so far but was wishing there were playlists...and now their are! It's like you read my mind. I can really relate to the way you build things and reuse what you have. Really love your content and can't wait to binge watch all of your videos and past live streams!

[@romeldagioscio9185]

Really good to see you back in action. Stay safe my friend.

[@batnam22]

I freaking love your work. The global aesthetic is wonderfull, the fact you're doeing every little thing yourself an staying quite low tech in a world drifting to AI driven art is a real breath of fresh air. You're really one of my favourite content crator. Thanks from France

[@baertigerbenno771]

Lovely and inspiring video as always, Evan. Glad you're back on the Tubes; I missed your video content.

[@mattdayphoto]

Love that monitor mount, dude.

[@taigerprint]

the speed loader causing the slight glow from the white jumper makes some shots look like they were shot in heaven lol very dreamy

[@TarikSupafury]

This kid is a true genius. I love the low tech mind set behind each of his creations, the aesthetic and the purposes as well. At the times we are all living in, it really makes a lot of sens.

[@scrambled_greg]

This is my favorite kind of making. Jank and utility can make really cool design IMO.

[@Jake28700]

Very nice video dude. I have a lot of respect for how you redesign your work station with what you already had. I love your monitor mounting concepts. You really make the most of what you have and it’s very inspiring. My friends give me a lot of shit for being a maximalist on my projects (which I’m trying to work on). Watching your videos inspire me to try and use the stuff I have and make it work rather than buying more unnecessary crap

[@DevonTalksTabletop]

After two weeks of travel, it’s nice to come home and watch an Evan Monsma video. Feels serene 🙂

[@jackfive565]

looks like a really cosy place to be in and work, love the rug!!

[@lavendertheys]

I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate your anti-consumerism. So many videos are full of expensive grovemade / ugmonk / erganofis stuff and it's really refreshing seeing someone focus on cheap, creative, practical solutions tailored to their needs. Obsessed with your whole setup!

[@jespernoren]

This channel is such an underrated gem. Each vide makes me happy

[@VG_ST_D]

Wow! I just had a bit of a burnout over the organization of my space, tools, and objects... This really helped calm me down! Thank you!

[@LumpYaNa]

Thanks for your time to !

[@Hxrmss]

Loving the little shout-outs between you and Scott Yu-Jan! Cool seeing the two of you pop up in each other's videos.

[@JoelSchat]

Great to have ya back!

[@F0X0-93]

This video felt like a dream, i don't know hot to describe it. Possibly the bloom and the music

[@no_name9165]

That mount for the screens where great. who needs vesa mounts when a few 2x4s can get the job done just the same way? also the camera / lens shelf fit in there great. good to see ya back at it. have a good one.

[@TheSnowPlowShow]

Great as usual Evan. You've inspired me to make a similar over-desk set up in my own studio. My first monitor mounts were made with those same gas pipes you use for other stuff.

[@JulietVenne]

i love it, aesthetically compliments the space perfectly

[@stowgood]

Nice to have you back

[@binarycodes]

this is so comforting somehow. its the right kind of jank. I will steal the monitor mount idea someday 😊

[@iamtravisnichols]

"The problem is this, this, and this. I think I'm gonna need an 8-foot 2x4." ---- GOATED mentality

[@EvanMonsma]

8 foot 2x4 solves all of life’s problems

[@pepisesportsdevirl2295]

Love the build. Needed the inspiration, this looks fucking awesome on my old CRT monitor I refuse to get rid of. Fills the whole tube man this effect this style I love it.

[@Jawmsie]

Okay, definitely keep shooting entire videos on the homemade speedbooster whenever the fancy hits you, though. This video had a delectable, dreamy quality to it.

[@dontmindme2402]

Love the "french cleat" idea, i had the same exact thought for my desk.

[@FishuaJo]

Awesome new setup. Glad you're getting settled again.

[@Ceo.hustle]

I needed to see this. My workspace has been feeling hectic. But I have to say, your creativity and simple designs with scrap wood is awesome. Your workspace is an actual work space, not some IKEA layout lol those are nice but as a new viewer this is dope to see. Subbed 👍

[@wonderwhatchannel]

Nice Evan! Good to see you!

[@kildareire]

Love it. Your videos give me energy to keep creating. Keep at it. “Sometimes it’s cool to have something ridiculous.”

[@juunataa]

This lens speedbooster thingy is so dreamy! 😯 Glad ur back with another banger!

[@jasen17king]

One of my favorite KZbinrs hands down.

[@kenntonmoran]

HE’S BACKK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PTSOPHOTO]

really cool system. I have a 6 foot desk and im thinking of making some sort of storage area for my camera gear. love the functionality of your setup that suit your needs

[@akacollier]

Louve your channel Evan, it's really inspiring!

[@abdullaheyni]

doing things simply is the key to make things, I luv it

[@callyg.628]

Love your builds and zen narration

[@CU96821]

The Adam Savage of Computer Workstations!! Much more realistic vs the pristine (& fussy) ones that cost big $$$$ 🤣

[@slzbuildz]

Nice vid. Currently redesigning my workbench. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@francescoventimiglia4088]

You are an Artist.

[@amarshall88]

I know you are in a rental currently, but if you keep it up, the money will flow. The day you buy a house is going to be wild, your creativity will lead to some very, very cool projects I know it.

[@betterunsquirrel]

great video once again - glad your back ^_^

[@bttrlamb]

Heck yeah dude welcome back

[@AndreSjoberg]

solid workspace workplace upgrade :)

[@JamesGWall]

as always, great stuff.

[@hugoduran603]

yoooooo i see what you did there with scott

[@SQ1DY]

its always a good day when you upload

[@recyclebeann]

the movable monitor mounts are smart!

[@spjoti]

swag as hell man

[@MrRafarivera]

nice! enjoyed the diyness checking out other peoples diy workstations setups and this seems more my style thanks for the chill video

[@yieldforpeace]

This is really great! You have a really nice esthetic 👌🏼

[@RonaldCiubuc]

So creative!

[@sufferingincorporatedtm1781]

awesome stuff, man. good to have you back :D i need to do something similar, wanna put my 4:3 monitor up

[@Upheavels]

been waiting u to upload man !! finally !

[@VibinBryan]

hell yeah welcome back! looking forward to the car video

[@imnotnuggets]

Originally watched the William Osman video, whenever that came out. Got this in my recommended and was like, woah, how have I never heard of this guy, he's great. Turns out I had, just made the mistake of not subbing. Fixed that today! Great video dude!

[@kathrynmonsma]

The monitor mounts are beaaaautiful scrap wood for the win

[@hempstead.studio]

Hell yeah dude loved it

[@MindfulGrinds]

I love it man!

[@KentHeckel]

YUP

[@npegg]

incredible: im still stoked you have a bed now.

[@docmnc8010]

You know what, this has inspired me to finally upgrade my worktables. They're currently a pair of folding tables of different heights, neither of which are entirely level. I'm a bad wood worker but I think I can do better than them

[@katelyn_madsen]

Bella approves of this video

[@wyrdstoned4824]

Very cool

[@q4short]

Interested in knowing more about how you score your videos and your thought process behind sound design

[@EasyMac308]

French cleats would be a little more elegant, but as always I love your vibe.

[@cj.88000]

Is the blur on the edges the lens? or is it an after effect?

[@Ravioli1586]

oooh i'm super curious about that too

[@EvanMonsma]

Its the DIY speedbooster adapter I made a few videos back

[@cj.88000]

I have to look at that now

[@majormojo]

@@EvanMonsmaBut why? It’s super distracting. Looks like you’re using a dirty lens. Weird.

[@lomeas]

hell yeah

[@perplxxd]

uploaded in god's format, 4:3

[@creditcardchase]

I am inspired to redesign my mind workstation

[@donatj]

I wish I had half your ability to make do with what you have.

[@emungai]

Very Van Neistat -esque

[@dony257]

love the vid

[@Shayway]

4:3 🙌

[@mitokhandria]

You say that the monitor does not have mounting holes on the back, but isn't that what is shown at 4:44? The 4 screw holes on the back of the monitor?

[@EvanMonsma]

yea I didn’t have the right screws for it or a bracket, but I suppose it would have been an option for that one- the other monitor had no holes

[@ScottyRoddis]

Man, where is your score all those tx1’s? I’ve been on the hunt forever but haven’t camera across one while out thrifting yet.

[@EvanMonsma]

They’re all broken. Will do a vid soon, trying to get 2 working from 3 parts units

[@sociallysupreme7101]

you should get wnyone who visits or like sees your room to write smth or doodle something on some of the bits of wood i htink itd be kinda cool

[@EvanMonsma]

They do hahaha I frequently find hidden messages on things

[@HowdyMyDudes]

11:42 yoooo is that a sony mavica?

[@cmon593]

13:13. Ouch. 😂

[@sundersquare]

I live in a city and cycle around every day and use public transport often but i need to drive as i need to bring lots of equipment to different places in the country. There always has to be space for cars and shouldn't be punished for that. Its pushing me into a different job

[@qwerty_studios]

nice

[@Strider0301]

Lol your videos slowly getting more blurry/ethereal

[@Brian-zl6ib]

Don't you worry about dust getting on your lenses? There's no covers.

[@AndreSjoberg]

Life is full of dust, embrace the dust. Also, lens cloth. But looking at Evan’s footage, filming style and the look of his videos … the dust is a vibe ;)

[@EvanMonsma]

I actually film 95% of my videos on a single lens so not a big deal to dust the others off on the occasion I use them. can’t be bothered to buy lens caps lol maybe I’ll print some one day

[@Brian-zl6ib]

@EvanMonsma I guess it's down to ne still hearing my father's voice when I borrowed his camera equipment and was reminded of care procedures.

[@Brian-zl6ib]

@EvanMonsma got an idea. Look for some glass fronted picture frames at the charity shop. They could then be used as glass cabinet doors with some adaptation.

[@asammahina]

the end reminded me of this archaic video kzbin.info/www/bejne/laOymJ1smaqLmMUsi=UTUu1jxhoMXETJHm&t=41 this was the first vid ive seen of yours an I like your approach to making, keep it up
