Thanks for tuning in! I hope you enjoy this video. I wanted to see how budget-friendly I could be while creating an inexpensive desk, and this is the best I could come up with for now. I have also created plans, so check them out here diycreators.gumroad.com/l/40dollardesk

I've already told you I very much enjoy ur videos!! THIS video came at the right time!! I'm in need of a sewing table, not wanting to spend a lot of money (LOL) my husband had convenieced me to clean off several concrete blocks in the back yard and we would get a piece of wood for the top!! A solid piece of wood alone was going to cost close to a hundred bucks!! Neither of us "really" knowing how to work with wood (all that I do know I've learned from you) his idea, was going to be the only choice I had!! Now with this video and plans I can get from ur web - I myself can do this!! FOR LESS MONEY!!!! Without using the tilted saw (for the sides of desk) I could put two straight pieces in there, right? We have the saw that u cut the rest of the wood with. Oh I don't have the piece that makes hidden screw holes - but that's ok!! I have stain and varnish left from an old project!! Thank you thank you so very much!!!

Always impressive! So many clever touches in this video, up to and including splitting the window in two during the sponsor segment. With the build continuing in one window, and the segment running in the other, we get the sponsor's message without any break in the action. Elegant and seamless. Great job, Glen!

Thank you for the kind words.

I have a habit of over complicating things… I love how you kept this minimal, with an understanding I could make it as complicated as I want :) I always learn something from your videos.

EXACTLY what I was looking for. I want to build a new desk for my workspace and this was everything I imagined the desk to be.

That's a gorgeous build, and proof you can make construction lumber into beautiful furniture. Gets me inspired every time I see your videos. Glad to have you back.

Haha, construction lumber is inexpensive and readily available. Just take some time to plan out what is possible.

Desk looks good. Best way to mate the 2 halves together is push them against each other, clamp them down and run the skil saw along the join - then they will be exactly parallel and should be a perfect join.

Interesting thought for getting a perfect join. Both pieces receive the same cut one on each side of the blad in this manner. Do you have experience here as I haven't seen that done anywhere? I am wondering on the safety of execution in this manner.

​@@darkvirisI tried it out and it worked great! The key to remember which I should have thought of it before I did it is to clamp them to the work surface and not to each other. I made that mistake and had a scary kickback.

@@darkvirisI came here to ask something similar. I’m so glad the hive think responded. Kickback did not come across my mind until I read your comment. As below said, I think clamping to the base or as glen said, a table saw would be the options. To your question though, there are a few vids on long side joinery like this.

So simple and good lookin... And the budget!!! You seems to be one of the few famous youtube hobby woodworkers that did not started making things more and more complicated. Respect for that! P.S. It's soooooo good to have you back here 🙂

I’ve been off YT for a while. I’m so glad to see you’re still here and creating awesome pieces! Hope all is well my friend ❤

Mate, you've been missed, this is so fresh and cleanly done, both the build and the editing.

Removing stain for a reveal never gets old! Nice work. 🇨🇦👍🏼

Thank you for coming back to KZread. You videos are amazing.

I clicked on this video hoping to save some money on furniture and I got exactly what I was looking for. The host's detailed instructions and affordable materials list made it seem like building a desk was within reach for anyone. It's inspired me to get creative and tackle more DIY projects around the house.

Awesome video!!! Glad you’re back. Keep bringing em!

That's a very nice looking table. This shows how nice projects for the home can be made with basic tools and home store lumber and supplies. Thank you for showing us the build and the drawbacks you encountered. I look forward to your next video. I've always enjoyed them. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

I cannot get over what fantastic camera work you do! I bet it is a pleasure to work on the flooring you installed a while back!

You're one of my favorite DIY KZread creators, I never plan to take on doing any of this but enjoy watching these so much, thank you for all the effort you put into these!

If you're looking to upgrade your workspace on a budget, this DIY desk tutorial is a winner. The step-by-step guide and affordable materials featured in the video turned what seemed like a daunting task into a manageable and enjoyable project, resulting in a custom desk that suits my needs perfectly.

I stumbled upon "How to Build a Budget Desk - Step-by-Step DIY" video, and it inspired me to get creative with my furniture. The presenter's explanations were easy to understand, and I appreciated the emphasis on cost-effective solutions throughout the build.

Very happy to see that you're back and making awesome content again. Very happy. Love the build, and it's timely as I need to build myself a new desk! Thanks for the video.

Loved how the stain looked when you wiped it off. Beautiful. 👌

Glad to see you back with new projects. This will be a great process to follow to build a plant stand.

Thanks for the video, Was a joy to watch. Glad to have you back.

So good to have you back on YT. Happy Thanksgiving!

Kudos! What a friendly approach and detailed instructions make it a breeze to follow, even for beginners. Using affordable materials, the video proves that creating a functional and stylish desk doesn't have to break the bank, making it a must-watch for anyone looking to personalize their workspace.

This is a sign. More budget friendly builds coming soon. 😂

Nice one Glen. Very simple, very functional and it will last decades.

Necessity...due to lack of money, is the mother of all inventions. I should make a placard as wood project out of that... Very nice, and it feels as satisfying as any black-walnut-resin-took-three-months-to-built video to watch. Keep it up!

Glad your back, enjoyed this one since I'm moving soon and thinking about what to do for a new computer desk. I like the idea of diy to my own dimensions! Keep up the great work.

superb piece of work

Another fantastic build and design, Glen! You make such elegant furniture and you make it look easy (well, the cutting might be easy, the design, not so much). I love this desk for the style; the price just makes it sweeter!

Great looking desk, I hope you are going to make this a series of low cost builds. Really enjoy your videos, looking forward to the next one.

Nice, too nice for a garage, lol. Good to see your work again. Always nice!!!👏👏👍

I Truly appreciate makwrs that show their mistakes, and, ways to fix them ! Plus your videos are chock full of helpful tips ! 😀

Love your videos. Clear and easy to follow. This is a great desk. One tip to make your life a little easier joining up the top. If you have it close and just want to match your joint perfectly, push the two pieces together and take your saw and "cut" the joint. Try to get your blade half on each piece, in a single pass. That way even if your blade is slightly off 90, they'll match perfectly.

Good job! Looks fantastic

Good to have you back. My son and i are looking at building a new desk. Im going to let him design and build most of it

Excellent work! This will be my next gaming desk setup. 👍

I love these budget builds!

Nice. Glad to see you back.

I’m a retired mechanic and I’m learning to do wood projects your videos have helped me a lot plus my wife likes me having clean hands for a change

Thank you for sharing. There are so many good tips.

So simple but looks amazing

Wow that is an awesome desk!

Awsome table . Love it. will try to replicate it. and I love your mentality of " keeping the cost down " In these days anything saved is that much earned. Keep up the good work . God bless you friend.

Nice job. Well explained and demonstrated. Keep the videos coming. You are an inspiration... to us beginners...

This is nice mate, thanks for the video! Will get planning on my own

I have made this same desk at least 50 times. I’ve sold them within two days on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for $150 a piece. Thanks for being an inspiration my guy 👍

Great work. Appreciate and look forward to more budget friendly projects
