Gaming Desk Build - Home Office UPGRADE / Woodworking 

Best sponsored add I've ever seen! Doing custom woodworking and making woodworking content is my dream and I'm always happy to see somebody that managed to pull it off, you're an inspiration dude

I'ma be honest, that ad got the subscribe. Old man past future you is a natural born salesperson

jesus christ.. doing my first steps in woodwork and this seems like art, witcraft and sorcery combined :D the complexity is insane. absolutely baffling :D

Thanks for including the flub-ups.

I watch a lot of Blacktail Studio's page and this page sent me here (or rather the algorithm did). Glad I'm here. Love your work and calm presentation. I'm over all the yelly-screamy-look at me youtubers!

You are in a league of your own. Very talented furniture Maker.

i built my corner desk that is 8ft/6ft for ~$200 worth of materials and the better part of a weekend worth of my and my dads time. its nothing fancy but it is solid enough to support anything i need to put on it and large enough to hold at least 2 full PC setups

Loved the word from the sponsor! The inlay was a good choice.

I love ash, this will be my wood of choice when I get started (soon!). I saw maaany different woodworking channels and you are first of what I looking for, creative designer. Because everyone can make river table, epoxy table, square cabinets and boxes, few can do... more, a lot more interesting things, even if there are based on the same concept and materials. Also, you are first that use en masse mortise and tenons, until now I was scared that this is kind of forbiden thing to do :D

I really like the straight side pieces, but the veneered round piece feels off, to me. At 22:08 in the video, during the glamour shots, you can see quite a big gap between the veneer on the top and the front section of the corner. also the color and shine appear to be different from the rest of the desk? The rest of the work is awesome, the legs are wonderfully crafted.

Your finishing, not just in this video, is top-notch. Really good explanations and workmanship.

The camera work is phenomenal

Hello. In boat building such method is called cold moulding. You could get a lot of stiffness by running the grain of inner veneers 90 degrees ( alongside to the curvature) to the outer ones . You did similar thing with this batten. In boats they are also adding 45 to get more diagonal stiffness. Love your videos!

Thank you algorithm! Stumbled across your video. WOW! I like the way your brain works. Smart solution for the curved, middle section. I was so fracking confused on what tool you were using for a while there. I was like, where did he get that brush/dust collector system for his... router? What is that? Pocket cutter, no... Then you did the sponsor thing and I was laughing at myself and fully enjoying the ad that I didn't skip through. "Wanna talk about the weather?" LOL!! Loved the DMT knod! I was especially stocked to see the ways you used the vacuum bag. I've been imagining ways to use one and have not made the leap yet. You've inspired me to go down the rabbit hole and figure what what system to go with. Would love to watch a video of your favorite ways to use it and what you found works best and what doesnt work well. Liked your solution for the support for the middle! The inspiration to do the inlay last min was fire! Glad I found your channel. You got a new subscriber!

The algorithm dropped this into my playlist tonight. It's the first video that I have seen from this channel. The desk is insanely beautiful. Can't wait to check out more of what you do.

I just found you and I love your content. Your old nick ad had me cracking up.

Beautiful. Fast becoming my favorite channel.

I am still wondering if $10,000 is adequate price for this in US? In central europe you would be able to buy all the tools and material to build table like this with this budget and still save some money. I would say that you would be able to sell it for around $600 top in my country. No offense, still thinks it's very well done and turned out beautiful.

Very smooth piece, well designed. I would have loved to see a couple of outlet boxes or drops worked into the straight pieces, and the cable management extended at least part way down them (for table lamps and other peripherals). I don’t love the inlay being used to highlight the sections of the desk myself - I think you could have done it just along the outer edge of the assembled desk (rather then each section individually) to make it seem more like a motif that had been intended to unify the whole piece. But that’s just personal aesthetics.

First time visit to your channel - i'm not really in to wood working but really nice job on the timing to the music of the veneer stacking

Great job! The little sketch with you and your "Old you" was a real Panto-mime. Keepin' it in the family, eh? Keep 'er lit Bro!

I hit the subscribe button instantly because you are actually teaching us something

This was wonderful. Thanks a bit of humor and your wonderful design/build and craftsmanship is well worth watching.

The video is awesome. The build is phenomenal. The ad earned my subscribe. Would you like to talk about the weather?

as much as I liked the build proces, the effort put into this, I just don't see the 10 grand table. is it still in the making?

I like the overall design, not a super fan of the opposing grain patterns in the wood, just takes away from the fluidity, Though without sitting down with a pencil and paper not sure how one would really get around this issue affordably. But I enjoyed the video, gave me a few ideas for my own workshop.

Love the leg design you came up with. And the inlay, hell of a nice touch. Beautiful work as always

Randomly you showed up on my RU-vid glad I stumbled across you great work And yes of course I've subscribed 😘

First video from this Channel I have seen. I love the desk and it looks amazing. Cant wait to see more of the work you do.

Wow my first time over here . Saw the beautiful base for the table that ended up a wall hanging and thought i would see what you do. Its a whole different world of wood work. I cant wait to see more

That was cool as hell!

well done I love it, looks elegant and clean

So glad youtube suggested this. Your work isnt just like any others, there is taste, personality and great chuckle humor in it as well. Loved everything about it. And great router machine, first time seeing something like this. The desk looks absolutely stunning, creative and unique asf*. Keep up the hard work with passion, its the best combo. Subscribed!

Hey wasn't the title 6k this morning lol (second time watching it today)

WOW ! Nick your work is on another level 😊 It aspires me to push my work a little more. Ps great lights 😂😂

I'm seriously impressed. You're not just skilled and knowledgeable, you're brave enough to try some freaky stuff. I was watching at the end during spraying and I kept saying "oh year he did too" over and over. If I can ask a question, if I bandsaw a 1/8th inch thick layer of end-grain breadboard design can I safely veneer some 1/2" ply with it. Will it probably be stable (there are no absolutes) like your veneer on the curved desk? Thank you

Awesome job as usual

Old sexy Nick coming in for the win👌🏼. Killer well over complicated design…as usual🤘🏼.

I need some of that cable management solution myself 😂

Beautiful as always,. Thanks for uploading your videos, are nice to watch and catch a lot of useful info. Good luck with your future projects. your fan from Moldova:)

That’s a nice build Nick! I’m always looking forward to your next build to see your next creative adventure! Now if I could pull off a younger me that’s not interested in the weather! Desk looks great!

Sometimes the algorithm gets it right.

Great design and build.

your work and your content are amazing I just have one piece of advice, I think you should explain more of what you're doing cuz I would have loved to know more details and the editing needs a little more work in my opinion but other than that great work man and I wish you the best keep going

Rellyt enjoy your videos. As a new Pantorouter owner, I am inspired by you use of one. Next i need to decide if i need a Domino for knock down jointery... You also use two other tools I am looking at- the Harvey Tablesaw and Hammer Jointer/Planer combo- love to hear you opinion on both.

Can you please do a full build as "old" you?

The 10.000 title bait

Curious what you used for the finish? Excellent job! Thanks for sharing.

You, sir, are hilarious

12:30 "a solid screen to dump cords behind" is not really cable management...

1o ooo dol for wood desk ???????? Good Game ! and some people without money for eat normaly........ beautiful world !

Awesome woodworking! Its nice to see different styles, vacuum process to get work out is cool, the " shade on wood" is not cool if your your trying to protect - why even show it?

Nice project as always, just wish your voice matched the volume of music. Turning the video up and down between talking segments is hard for us cardigan/hearing aid wearing folks. I would have only done one thing different on entire project. Your gain pattern on center flows opposite of ends, I would have matched the end pieces going same direction by turning them 90°. Of course it's a matter of opinion looks good the way you done it, just blends weird for my taste.

Great build and video, I subbed. I love the smell of sawdust in the morning. It smells like, victory (Well really just wood). ;)

I know this is a little off topic but what’s the name of the background music in the first 40 seconds of the video?

great work man. What does vacuum sealing the glued pieces do?

Just stumbled on your channel, great builds, great content and overall awesome vibe ! Any tips on spraying shellac ? I french polish my instruments but I'm looking for a method for a quicker build-up.

That is some serious craftsmanship. Great work man. I truly feel like a woodworking noob now. :D Sub'd.

Very nice technique and finished product. Did you work for IKEA in the past?!?! That’s not a cheap furniture joke. That’s a “holy crap on fasteners reference!!”

is that nail polish remover 16:33 purple to his left on the wood

Hey Nick, what small combination square are you using around 3:30?

Thanks for the design tips 💪🧠, the inlay looks great, the built in cable management is so important these days and it came out great. The PantoRouter bit was great👍got to get one eventually 👍

Did this really cost $10,000 worth of material or is that what you would sell it for lol?

the table top plates connections are pretty bad to look at when you show the installed product

Umm, you start with a statement that making the curve is difficult as it would easily break, then you make the curve in think multilayered PLYWOOD where this is clearly NOT the case. Beautiful work in the three piece desktop however ;)

10k where

TBH 10k seem too much for this not very eye pleasing table

I’m not trying to be rude…but do people really buy them his kind of deal for 10k!? Seems like kind of a waste of money TBH. Lovely craftsmanship but I’m just confused who’d buy it for that price?

10k for playwood...

That’s the first “now here’s a word from our sponsors” from any creator that I haven’t skipped through.

10k for that, someone is having a joke

Beautiful desk. In my opinion, the legs on the sides would’ve matched the back better if they would’ve had some curve element as well. Love the string inlay

Nick, great design and execution. I've found big things like that are tough merely because they're big - shop size is less a factor. Best desk leg design idea I've seen in years with the layers and though, shaped tenons! Also, you just set a higher bar for every other sponsored maker out there because I doubt anyone clicked past it. I agree with you on your string inlay design - maybe the word is, "organic." Question: what width is that tiny, skinny chisel?

New to the channel, first impressions, every computer desk I have owned was this shape... had 1 made several years ago and there was nothing complex about it? Let's see how this unfolds. Edit- not something I would buy.

Hi, Sorry, I was a bit disappointed with the presentation. The crème de la crème of the project was the rounded corner, but you simply skipped over how it is was designed, and how it was executed. I'm a civil engineer, I have seen many of these, but, for other DIY people might find details missing, even in such a long video!

Lovely desk but not worth $10k if I am honest. You could get something identical for around the $1.5k mark easily

10$ g’s for that? A hidden curved veneered back leg and a few inlays. Really?! Just get solid stone counter tops and a metal leg system and save yourself $7 g’s

What the hell man. You're not the first woodworker youtuber to make a desk and find a bullet in it lol who is shooting all these trees? Murica I guess 🤷‍♂️

Gotta say, that fanned grain in the corner section looks horrible. Just my opinion obviously, but there are ways you could have made that transition far more fluid

The desk is a nice design, only thing i don't like is the veneer on the curved part of the desk. something about the grain being in the opposite direction to the other parts of the desk really is jarring for me. Other than that, i like the design of the desk and the idea to hide the cables and what not. Should be interesting too see it after you are fully set up on the desk, see what drawers and storage you use in conjunction with the desk.

Looks pretty nice, but I have a hard time believing anyone is paying $10k for that.

Nice! Older version of you was into the weather 😂... I laughed when he was chomping his gums.

Great pace and music. "Only a few more complicated details to go ..." could be something for a shirt.

how you come up with 10k for the table? lol

It’s about time pantorouter sponsors you.

Great work. I enjoyed watching and learning. Going to check some more of your videos. Why is it 10k? Labor?.. or the cost of materials?.

10K you must be talking Korean money as this is about 400 tops in material.

Wearing a rolex whilst doing it, you're braver than me :D

How the hell is this 10,000 dollars? Is it some sort of rare wood or what the hell?

Seriously though, who would pay 10,000 dollars for that? Did you just put that there for clicks? It's a well-made desk... but not worth a fifth of 10 grand... What the hell are you talking about? lol

That is not a $10K desk. Not even half.

Well , I actually liked that "Old Guys" Cardigan :) I'm just glad he didn't have time to start talking about his Doctors appointments and what's ailing him currently :-) :-) / oh and nice desk too btw :-)

Mind. Blowing. Love your work man! Really glad Cam over at Blacktail gave you a shoutout. Your designs are unbelievable!!

it's cool but not seeing 10k worth of value there.

Don't be angry whit me, but the grain is not Correct!. Greetings from Germany

There’s no reason why anyone would pay 10k for that

That looks weird when that wood goes in different directions

Errhhh… Hell of a lot better than I could do, like, for real man… Buuuut from what I can see, IMO I don’t think the quality and/or materials are worth $10k. Some pretty funky looking lines there. Also what’s “gaming” about this desk? Cable channels? RGB? Height adjustable? Modular peripherals?

Ok but the legs look like they were made out of 2x4's thats not something I would want to pay $10k for.

It's great to see a RU-vid woodworking channel that doesn't use pocket hole joinery on every project! The whole "nobody will ever see it" philosophy is ridiculous & lazy.
