How to bend wood and build a floating desk.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

If you remember in the last video, we overbuilt an awesome door for my new closet studio with electronic privacy glass and a custom walnut cat door for shop cats Jerry and Lola. And now it was time for the next phase of the office studio buildout - a walnut floating desk. Are you ready for kerf bending that doesn’t work, drawers that are too tall, sliding things into a bag, pocket holes??, hot glue, sharing a yoga mat with Jerry, pattern routing, lifting heavy things, using paper as a shim, the closeup of a pencil and shop cats that aren’t always helpful as they think they are…then check this out!

    I’m going to add onto this by saying I love woodworking but when I do it I always mess up at various points like every single project and I’ve only really gotten to do woodworking at high school so far (graduated last year) so whenever I messed up I got glares and felt so bad about myself and my abilities even though I do end up making great stuff whenever I got the opportunity for creative freedom. Seeing your mistakes and how you also get upset and frustrated about it makes me feel a lot better knowing that this happens to other people and even though sometimes material gets scrapped etc you keep going. Thank you so much.

    "So hopefully I wont make the same mistakes, I'll make new ones" No truer words have been spoken my friend lol.. There's always something, nothing ever goes according to plan. That's for sure. But thats how we learn. You accommodate for one thing, then something else is like, "oh dont forget me" after its too late lol. I really enjoy watching your vidoes. Im new to your channel, but love to see when people take pride in their work. Well done. Also seeking your cat peek through that window like "hey you forgot about me." That was priceless lmao.

By far, my favorite build I’ve watched! P.S.

    I recall some years ago, some folks found it more cost-effective to make their own acoustic panels using layers of towels, over buying acoustic foam. "DIY Perks" channel demonstrates how much better the towels perform to muffle sound over cheaper packaging foams and pillows/cushions. "Soundproof Guide" channel mentions using a fire retardant spray for fabrics on the towels for extra safety.

    Since you have tabletop gap(s) along the wall, you can always mask off the top and then apply some plaster to the wall and feather it out. Sand and apply texture(if needed) to the wall to blend in. Nice work and video!
