Какой же вы молодец, уважаю мужчин, котрые все делают своими руками у себя в доме. Искала как раз подобный стол, и была приятно обрадована вашей работой. Спасибо за видео!
You don't need that many tools. You can literally screw everything with a 🪛 screwdriver. You can also make it a little thicker if you find the right piece of lumber. Just don't trim it. Also, you can make pocket holes with a drill bit. Just mark the depth with a tape. And, you can use a hand saw, or ask them in the store to cut to your dimensions. He did it in light wood, but I am going to get already darkened. Also, instead of staples for the top, I will use screws, and give it a rustic/steam punk look. Even if you don't have right tools, if you're dedicated and put some thought and passion, I think it can be done, and it can look good.
The desk is really doable for diyers like myself...it is minimal, functional and came out great That view you have is awesome as well. Any and all simple projects would be much appreciated.
Is this also possible with a drawer if you bridge a big gap between two walls. I have a room, 2 meters wide (6.5 feet) and want to make a desk over the whole width. I'd prefer it with 1 or 2 drawers but I'm not sure if it'll be strong enough...
I want to build something like this but I need it to be 6 feet wide and I want a 4 foot wide slide out keyboard tray so when I don't want my keyboard/mouse out I can just push it in and thus preventing me needing my desk to be 3 feet deep. Good fuel for ideas, thanks. I want the tray in the one I build to be centered in the desk, and I use it for a writing surface too, planning to mount it directly below the chair railing in my office which is at the perfect height.
Hi Pete, I have watched this vid of yours so many times and plan to replicate it for my hubbys home office. Can you tell me whats the name of the scree/ bolt thingy you used to attach it to the wall at 7:56 mins? Thank you
another thing you can to to reduce sagging and strengthen it is to put an angled piece of wood from one corner of the second wall to the main wall, and a few in a straight line from the far left corner all the way to the front right corner in sequence with pocket screws so that it isn't left without support. small things
I love this video. I think I could even make this. Great job. Thanks so much. Have you done a video on how to make a simple headboard or not so simple?
Hey Linda! I have a video on a bed frame that includes a headboard and a footer. It is a pretty simple method. Although the headboard might not be exactly what you need, you could definitely use some of the ideas and modify it to best fit your needs. Here is the link in case you want to check out that video :) Cheers! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sxy1cqHT_2c.html
Hey Pete! I'm new to your channel and I enjoy it immensely! Luckily you have lots of videos so I can binge watch. I'm looking forward to it. There was one thing I wish you would have done in this desk. And that's true about a 2-in hole near the wall for cable management to go right into the plug below. I'm sure that laptop needs to be plugged in sooner than later lol. Everyone's got opinions 🤭 great job as always! Keep up the good work
I love this build, do you think it could hold a printer with a router, modem and access point with only a few lag bolts into studs? All in one printer about 8.5x14”?
I think this design is so efficient. I will probably do deeper drawers and add 2 more. I would love to hide my laptop, accessories and pens all separate. I would also throw in a hidden outlet for laptop, and wireless charger hidden somewhere. Your design is a great foundation.
Hey DIYPETE, Exceptional work. Any tips on connecting to brick? I live in Mexico, and everything here is brick and concrete walls. Sub'd and thanks again for any suggs or advice. 🙏
Nice job I've been looking for an idea like this for my daughter's room. With this pandemic situation we are going through she's long distance learning from home. What is that black circle part called in the other desk that you showed?
Hey! Thanks so much. To be honest, my home remodel has been sooo much work and taking up way too much time. It will be worth it, but it's taking time away from being good about getting more consistent videos out. All the vertical cedar channel siding is going up this week and next. Then the metal roof, followed by a 1300 sq foot trex deck. I will be documenting the deck project, and do need to share a video soon of all the progress though! Hope all is going great!
Thanks so much for subscribing! Hope the cooler project went well for ya :) one the idea for the mini mancave, I need to find a space to do something like that. Cheers!
First thanks for all the great info in all your vids! Second did you do the trim in your place, is it just 1x4 and 1x6 pine? I want to do flat inexpensive trim and I would love to see a video on that! Is it from the lumber yard? Is it ripped and planed to size?? Any info would help. Thank you!
Hi! Yep, it is 1x4 and then 1x6 for baseboards. It is a premium pine ( no knots ) --- but super affordable and looks great. I got it from our local lumber yard ( kenyon noble ) --- and did not have to mill or plane. Just a clear coat!
Great video. I need to build a desk for my wife. Co. Is recommended everyone to work at home. Desk is going to be 32 3/4 by 23 1/2 . Wall to wall. Planning to stain it and add a glass on top. I will follow your instructions. Thanks.
@@DIYPETE I was able to get the desk done this pass weekend. It turned out great. My only issue i had was installing it. With the two dividers i had on both sides, I couldn't get my screw gun to fit to secure screws on both sides of the wall. I had to buy a mechanic hose attachment for drilling tight spot. My wife loved the desk. Thanks again!
What would you use for a desk top if you want your desk to measure almost 11 feet long? (wall to wall floating desk) I would love to use oak plywood but don't really want to piece together plywood for the top.
Hi! That's quite a desk! Plywood is most likely the most affordable and flat option. You could look at seeing if you could find pre-made laminate countertop at Lowes/HomeDepot that is 11 feet long. Cheers
Hey! haha, yeah it tended to be a better spot to film then a boring old bedroom in the house :) Thanks for watching! As for property prices where I live, it is unfortunately pretty expensive in my area, but then again that all depends what you are used to where you live. I'd say real estate prices are on the pricey side though. I had a 1979 total fixer upper home that has needed a ton of work -- but it was on 10 acres in a location I really wanted to be in, so I really got the place for the land and figured I'd put a lot of work into it to make it exactly what I wanted it to be. It's been a lot of work, but completely worth it.
