In this video, I show how to build a modern desk. I made this modern desk using walnut for the legs, a spalted maple desktop, and Blum soft-close drawer slides. The desktop was made using two slabs of spalted maple attached to the carcass with dados. This is the perfect DIY desk project for any woodworking enthusiast.
A lot of thought went into the design of this modern desk and how the desk would sit in an open space or butted up against a wall. With more people working from home offices, a custom desk is in pretty high demand. This piece is unique enough that it's sure to be a talking point in anyone's home office, but it still fills the need for function from the user.
This project's build process includes many steps, but I tried to be as thorough as possible in the video to explain each one. I enjoyed trying some new techniques in this build that boosted my confidence for other projects moving forward. New skills and techniques are what make better craftsmen (or women). If you want plans for this woodworking project, check out the link below. And if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them in the comments. Enjoy the build video!
