came here from your newsletter. always refreshing to see you slap a basic project together

That tip about the cheapo screwdrivers is really clever. Nothing to waste!

I come to Steve's channel for woodworking advice. I stay for the soothing Dad energy.

Glad you are posting more often. Always looking forward to watch your videos, gives me a good vibe! 🤗

Always interesting, always fun. And Always down to earth. Thanks Steve!

I'm about to move and my wife has wanted a standing desk, so this is great!!

Can use the 1/2" back panel to screw a power strip and general cord management. For example the red box can get attached back there and then it doesn't have to sit on the top surface.

Any chance to hide and organize cables is a good chance. My boring old sitting desk has power strips zip-tied to the top of the legs to keep cords off the floor and out of sight. Then I have little cable grabbers in places to hold the cords when they are unplugged. You would want to avoid running over your cables if your desk is on 4" wheels!

I think this is a fantastic, really easy to build design; I'm proud to say I've used an almost identical design to make several different-sized tables. For taller tables like this I put a couple of "2 x 4s" across the back instead of a plywood sheet, and I've put a power bar on one of these.

I don't use your plans as they are. However, by following you and watching the course a while back, I've learned a lot and I do make stuff. Like a fold up desk two years ago. Pocket holes, using a table saw (amazed myself) etc etc. So thanks Steve!

Thank you, Steve. I have done several projects from your vdo's and will do this desk next weekend. ❤❤❤ your simple but truly effective ideas. Great for beginner like me because I see immediately that it's doable, and strong. Like the idea No Glue! I can change my mind anytime😅😅😅 2x4 is good for thousands things.

This is exactly what I needed. You're the best!

You're an inspiration Steve. I'm slowly but surely converting my garage workshop to having everything low profile and on casters so I'll be able to wheel everything back into place when I'm done.

I keep the cheap screwdrivers as spares. I don't throw them out. Great project - nice to see these build videos once again!

That old stand with drawers has been in his shop for about 12 years. The HVLP demo was the guys spraying it and that was a long time ago.

It always amazes me the way people will get things done with the most minimal assemblage of equipment (referring to your old podcast desk) versus how easy it is (for me) to obsess over the perfect work station greater than the time actually spent doing the thing it is for. Obviously some of that is whether your focus is on producing the thing versus making optimizing the way it gets made into a hobby, but I think there's another factor: knowing what you really need versus not. Professionally I work in a STEM field, yet for a home computer desk in the garage I'm using a piece of plywood draped over two supports (not even screwed down). In the same garage, I have much more thought and money put into woodworking and welding stations I only dabble in. The thing is I know what the minimum I need to get things done on the computer is; I don't/didn't know what the minimum I would need for these things I only do occasionally.

Proof that sometimes the simplest idea is the best idea. I have been needing the same thing for my garage shop.

Dang. Thank you for making this. I am no wood worker but this gives me confidence even I can build one. I have to use a skill saw though because I have limited tools.

Thanks again Steve. A simple but practical project. Cheers

Woah woah woah how have I missed those tattoos!

Love this video Steve. You are a true inspiration and I love how you keep it so simple. It was a pleasure meeting you this year at WBC. Maybe next year we can chat longer. Thanks for all you do for our community.

Awesome a new project! I like how it’s tall enough to fit your old shop stand underneath, like you said an efficient use of shop space. But also the construction seems simple enough to modify it to install its own cabinet underneath if need be.

You could definitely add some shallow drawers across the top or bigger ones down one side.

Thanks Steve. The idea of just do it is amazing. No procastination with fancy projects. Simple is better.

way to go Steve.. Thanks, always love the videos.

Lovely project. I am tall so might look at making something similar in the future.

You Basic Mobile Workbench (The Weekend Woodworker project) got me started on this journey. And now I'm tackling an entire entertainment center! Thank you!

Thank you Steve, I learned a lot with your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

Really awesome work, Steve! 😃 About the cheap screwdrivers, when they wear out, you can transform them into an awl! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Nice and simple. I like it.

Is no one going to mention that editing work at 4:40? Masterful stuff!

First time here and learned something else already. Deserves a LIKE.

Nice build and add power strip on the back of the table or underside of the table.

Steve got some new ink!

Great desk, Steve. Simple yet just what you needed! Adding how nice it is to hear someone that knows what Masonite is. I've asked in the stores and it's like "what?"

Your next video has to be, "What I did with those 2 pieces of 2x4 that I used for putting my computer on top of on the crappy podcast desk set up I had for four years because i was too busy to make a real desk for it." It might have to be a 6 part series so you can use the whole title.

The red box is a Scarlett Focusrite 2i2 I believe. It's needed to convert the analogue signal from the mic to the digital one needed by the PC. It also supplies 48V 'phantom power' to the mic if needed. Other brands are available but these work very well.

Love it! Now you just need another adjustable thing to bring the screen up higher. Maybe an articulating arm type stand similar to what your microphone is on??

Nice build.

Great build, it's all about making life easier and that is less strain on you back, it's a good idea. And you can never say no to free tools that comes with your items. Take care

+1 to the caster recommendation. I've ordered three sets over the last year or so, for each piece of new shop furniture I've built. Just swapped out the old crummy ones that locked up on my miter saw station. If you have to move equipment around a lot (I do- garage space) they are great value and very effective.

I love how any time I see Steve now he's got some new tatt's!

Great Job Steve!

Steve, Thank you once again for taking the "Stupid" out of woodworking....your videos and ideas are just what the rest of us mere mortals are into/appreciate that don't have $50K worth of tools and a dedicated 40" X 40" shop. Thank you for the tip on the casters, and fuck the rest of the negative commenters about your "ink" and not rounding over the edges more. Oh, and your Box Joint Jig set-up video from a while back, spot on as I made my first box joint drawer and it worked flawlessly, once again dead nuts simple. Keep up the great work and videos.

I'm the same way. Once my feet hit the floor I dont sit other then when eating or absolutely done for the day. I think a lot of it is due to the fact the world isn't built to cater to people 6'+. Glad my shop benches are all finally done to be a more convenient height. About the casters, harbor freight sells 1100 lb furniture dollies. You can catch them on sale for about 8-9 bucks. I think ultimately that is about the cheapest way to get casters that don't lock.

Appreciate that you demonstrate use of PPE during your builds!

I felt that hell yea when it moved into it's new home. Great build Steve 👏🏼 I dig it

Steve is looking jacked! It's clear you put in a lot of work

Thanks! 👊

Excellent, thanks.

Happy Birthday Steve! From one of your Old MEMO’s! Glad you finally built your podcast “speaker” desk.

Love the simplicity. Great use if space and huge improvement over you janky podcast station.

Matching chair and screw guns - nice!😁

Steve you should. WW MM logo on the plywood backer

That was fun to watch. Quick and easy.

When it comes to tools, I keep several different sets with each machine tool I have. As for this desk, great build. It just isn't for me, I'm the opposite of you, bad back, any stooping over of any kind for a long period of time, causes me issues with my back. So, I'll definitely have a desk but lower/higher with a chair. Great video as always, cheers :)

Very cool great job

Excellent table build and great idea Steve! 👍👍🔨🔨

27 dollars are insane. I only got two of the wheels I use for that and that did not include screws. And I laughed at the end because I also have "one of these red box things" :D and can confirm they are great. I am not surprised it survives the saw dust. They are easy to repair, too, the manufacturer even gives away free replacement parts sometimes if you ask kindly and convince them you can repair it yourself. Nice to see more videos of you, Steve. I remember when you started the podcast and showed your recording station, so that's four years already, wow.

Excellent video as always. Keep up the great work.

Focusrite Scarlett external sound card. Focusrite has AMAZING customer support!

Loved it! 2 questions: are you going to tell us the stories behind the tattoos and what sort of detailed artwork are you working on?

Thanks for sharing.

Why not an affiliate link? You deserve it Steve!

Thanks!

Awesome idea sir! Def gonna use this as a template, maybe spice up the legs on it! Awesome work!

simple, study and efficient

Nice project Steve!

You should definitely get a creative culture tag spray painted on that 1/2 plywood front. You’ll never see it with the table against the wall and your podcasting camera on the table, but when has lack of visibility stopped a woodworker?

Great vid Steve.. I always look forward to them.... keep'm coming pal!

Sponsor free? Not important. What IS important is TAKING THE STICKER OFF THE HARDBOARD! Thank you, and keep up the great videos. 😁

Another great build and video!

great video as usual steve!

Love those casters! I've got two plans (in my heady) to re-build my work bench or a storage unit. Chicken and the egg question. Common sense says to forgo philosophy, and re-build the workbench. lol Thank you for sharing your videos. Regular folk, working in regular workshops - it feels right.

Very nice

Very cool

Good vid!

Atwood has a solution for your shop table. Jacks! You could jack that work bench 5 feet off the floor. But since you needed a decent pod cast desk anyway, no loss..

Because your floor is uneven you could attach adjustable legs in each corner next to the wheels then you adjust whichever leg needs to be longer to make the table even

Connect a power strip to it so all you have to plug in is one plug. You can then leave all the others plugged into the power strip.

This is almost exactly what I want to make with the exception that it folds and can be stored. I think I can probably some how put hinges on the legs so it folds in and the top folds down. What do you think?

Steve... Another great project video. BTW: I have a red box thing too (Focusrite) to connect my mic to the computer. I have a phantom power mic that requires a red box. I grabbed a set of those casters, they look Great! I'm going to make a crafting supplies cart that might also be a standing desk... I want to roll it out when in use, tuck it away when not. I liked the cart that rolls under the cart, but I think for my application building in some storage in that cart. And I've taken your woodworking course so of course I'll roll the crappy side towards the wall.

Cool 😎 project. Steve! Thanks for the tip on the casters. That's a great deal! 👍 By the way, what's the "red box thing"? 😊😊😊❤❤❤

Seems easy and like something I actually can make. At the same time it is something I can use for my (3D) printer in the basement.

Do you have a video about spray painting your drills? It's giving me some ideas

I can remember when you made the stool... funny that it became a 'standing desk' :)

just love you man, in the woody way... damn still came out dodgy

I would think standing for podcasting would make for good vocal clarity. You can project your voice better when you're standing. Of course you already know this, Steve, since you've been doing it all along.

I use cheap included screw drivers as awes, I just take them to a grinder or disc/belt sander to make a point.

I need to make some nice desk for electronics, cos im gonna be out of space soon..

bro got the upgraded CS:GO skins for his drills...nice!

No wonder the WWMM lightheartedness is gone from the pre-pandemic days. You're tuckered out from standing all the time lmao

Great idea. You don't seem to do anything in particular to protect your laptop from sawdust intrusion. I was thinking about bringing an old laptop into the shop, but have been concerned about that potential problem. Is that because your dust collection is protecting it, or am I worried over nothing? Good video, Steve. Thanks for sharing.

I never sit down either! Haha

Random question as a total beginner...Can I make this using a Jigsaw? It's the only saw I have along with my drill. Love the videos!

At last! ☺

Thanks Steve, one of those "I should've done this years ago !" projects - simple but effective - I need to make something similar to save my back getting any worse - I am Bananaman ! 🍌😟

I got a set of those casters you can step on to lift the whatever you've attached them to? The ones I got could hold 600lbs each!! And they weren't that expensive. I was going to put them on these fairly heavy (but not even 600lbs in total let alone 2400lbs) to be used as mobile shade but I never got a chance. I got fired for spending too much money on materials...

What kind of art have you been doing? Would love to see or hear. Love how easy this one was Steve! PS- all your new tattoos look great. Look Japanese style 💕

👋😀👍 Nice ‼️

Hummm, have you ever considered levelling the floor as a project?

Hello, what is the extension bit you use on your driver? The bit for driving screws.

Steve, do you still have the plans for the cab caddy? I just got a truck and wanted to build it

6:48 Well now you need another power tool in order to use your free screwdriver! Edger timer!
