this is a good way to mix the functionality of a standing desk while still enjoying a traditional wooden desk feel. the precision of the the drawer faces and the added curve on the front are lookin sleek.

As Ive decided to work beyond retirement, the standing desks are amazing at keeping you focused and feeling better after a long day. I really like your desk and the utilization of storage. Great job John

I really like this design with the storage under the desktop. I’ve been thinking about replacing my oversized L-shaped desk in my home office with a simple slab since I do t need all the filing storage my current desk offers. But I’ve been hesitant because there are still~some~ things that need to be around my desk like chargers, cables, etc. This design would be perfect for what I need to give me a minimalist desk combined with practical storage. Thanks for posting.

When I saw the drawer fronts placed into the slots, I hoped that you were going to use "push to open" drawer slides, as it was such a nice clean look, and not use any pulls or handles.. Also, if there's a third setting for desk height, you could have 1 for sitting, 1 standing, and 1 for a height that will fit your chair underneath, but as low as possible..

Excellent video! Your videos are always so well done and easy to follow. Any chance you will have build plans for this desk available to purchase on your site any time soon?

Just if some of the boards are bowed or something and need help staying aligned flat, or really large panels. These were all nice and flat, so easy to clamp up without any help

Жыл бұрын

I need more time with the Milwaukee but I’m definitely leaning that way. Both are really great saws though

You can store so you get air under the bottom. Helps keep it stable allowing the top and bottom to dry the same amount is the theory. That way you get less movement and won't have to re-mill loosing thickness.

Enjoyed the video. Looking to build something like this for my kids. I do have a question. It’s more out of curiosity then anything else. Why only glue for the top and bottom panels and not glue and dowels? Is it a preference or is it for expansion purposes?

I use dowels or biscuits if the panels are big enough or need some assistance keeping lined up. They’re just for alignment, all the strength is the glue
