@@iBJankyAmazing video series on this sir. I will be buying this exact butcher block and following your other video guide on finishing. Thanks! My question is in regards to the sturdiness of this setup. I’ve had too many desks that make my monitors wobble when I type. It’s not a lot but it’s enough to be annoying. Is this super stable? Rock solid? lol. When I type I put my whole forearms on the desk to have proper posture so maybe that’s my problem. Please let me know your thoughts if you can. Thanks a lot. My other alternative is the classic Alex drawers underneath but then you lose so much legroom down there. But you gain all the stability in the world.

Absolutely love the setup! Like everyone else in the comments, your video gave me such a leg up on how to go about this the right way. Im about to start the process of staining this weekend, followed with installation and assembly of the desk on the following weekend and I couldn’t be any more excited. One small question for you, what Milwaukee drill do you use in this video? I have a Ryobi One + but I think I need an upgrade to a better drill. Thanks in advance for your comments & help!

@iBJanky 8 месяцев назад

A couple of small questions for you for peace of mind. What is the part/extender that you have on the end of your Milwaukee drill? Is it some sort of 1/4’ Hex to Phillips Extender? It looks like a nice tool for tight spaces. Secondly, considering my Butchers block is so similar in dimension, what kind of screws did you use to drill into the Desk? I’m assuming nothing above 3/4 inch granted the desk was 1 inch thick? Thanks in advance for everything.

Nice setup with steller cable management. BTW, Amazon does sell the casters (wheels) with less length of the bolts (threads). Therefore, you can thread them all the way to rest the desk on the nuts. If you are up for some angle grinding or cutting with saw, you can do that too.

I'm doing the same thing atm but ngl I'm kind of confused on some parts (just came from the butcher block finishing vid LOL). Some questions I have are 1. for the polyurethane that you used, has it been safe around your cat? That's one thing I'm worried about. Another is, how long did you wait before installing the desk legs, or how long did you let the poly cure before taking it inside and putting it to use? I've read that it can take almost a month to fully cure and some people said it's fine after a few days and others said to wait. Lastly, did you pre-drill holes before putting the screws into the block? Scared of splitting it LOL. Anyways, thank you for these videos :)

@iBJanky 2 месяца назад

The polyurethane is definitely safe for pets. As a matter of fact, my cats area always on my desk whenever I'm trying to get any work done 😅 It does take a couple of weeks for polyurethane to fully cure, but you don't have to wait that long to install the legs. I myself just waited a couple of days until the poly was dry to the touch, and then I installed the legs. No issues whatsoever. I personally drilled some some pilot holes before putting the screws in. I find they make putting the screws in easier. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The Thunderbolt cable charges the laptop, and also sends the video signal from the laptop to the monitor.

Another amazing video, came from your butcher block staining and finishing video. Just curious if you pre drilled the holes for the legs on the bottom of the finished butcher block, or just put in the screws normally (read somewhere about possible cracks if not pre drilled).

@iBJanky Год назад

I pre-drilled some small pilot holes before screwing in the legs using the supplied hardware. I didn’t have any issues with any cracking. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏼

Top tier cable management there 10/10. I have a couple of questions, how stable is that setup at max height? I'm 6'2 and I plan to use it with a walking treadmill from time to time. Dunno if I should go for the 3 stage version of the frame or if the 2 stage one + caster is enough height for me. Only thing that's holding me for getting the 3 stage version is that it cost $100 more and that I've read that it's sightly less stable than the 2 stage one.

@iBJanky 11 месяцев назад

For my particular setup, it’s very stable even at max height. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to topple over or anything. The casters added a little height to it which actually worked out really well. Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏼

I have two 24-in monitors and a laptop I don't know how I'm going to be able to keep wires nice and neat and minimal like you did I also have an accell docking station. Will I be able to fit that inside of the raceway. Also for the surge protector how many feet in length is the car because do you have sufficient length when you raise the desk up that's something that no one addresses on RU-vid in terms of when the desk is elevated do you have sufficient length of the cord to support the height of the desk. Your setup is nice and neat I don't know if it'll work for two monitors plus a laptop

@iBJanky 2 года назад

The raceway I bought was 3” x 3-7/8”. They make them in different sizes, but it should be able to hide all your cords. If you’re trying to fit your docking station inside, just measure the dimensions first. The surge protector cord is 10’ long. It is sufficient length even if I raise the desk to the highest setting. Thank you for watching!

Hello, great explanation all things. When attaching the wood slab to stand, what screws you used? Have you used threaded inserts? what diameter? how much depth? what is the distance from the left and right edge you placed the screws?

@iBJanky 10 месяцев назад

I used the screws that were included with the desk frame. I did not have to use any additional parts. I used the maximum width from left to right edges of the frame, which was approximately 60”. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏼
