Let's take a moment to appreciate awesome Dads. Dad is always clutch in these kinds of situations.

Great video. And, you did it without a motorized desk -- kudos! I like your butcher block top. I want one of those also but can't find it at Lowe's or Home Depot. ... working with your Father on the shelf is the greatest. Showing his seasoned hands working on the wood is the best part of the B-roll for me. You see, I'm 63 now and I still have the first set of tool sockets my Father gave me as a young teen working on my first car, 1966 Mustang. My dad has transitioned now, so enjoy these times together. God bless and stay safe. Peace.

The One and Only Lee. Note the time and date. This is the beginning of a great YouTube channel.

The transformation beetween before and after is crazy very good job

That wood on the wall with the rgb lighting! Amazing

[CallMePink]

the first 10 seconds was just pure flex for the young kids who dream of a setup like

[ovechristophermattmann]

My favourite part of this actually is the huge wooden slab on the wall! Just sick!

[jumpinandy]

I am obsessed with that desk shelf. I want one just like it so bad but I don't know any one who knows how to do that. It's beautiful and much nicer than that popular/expensive one all the other YouTubers are always plugging in their videos. Great job with this!

While watching this video I immediately look over to my blank buckland blue wall to my left and envisioned something similar. Thanks for the inspiration!

[avalerionbass]

I did a desk build recently with a walnut veneered plywood and used the same Arm R Seal Satin. Turned out great! But I didn't realize until after I started that it takes about 24 hours to dry, but the final coat takes 30 DAYS to fully cure.

As long as you're not putting anything heavy on the top, it's fine, but it can deform the finish if it's too heavy.

I legit just built one so similar. No IKEA by me so just got some nice legs. Also made my desk shelf. I the legs for that are just what I had in Mind!

[sachet.thapa]

What amazes me watchjng these videos is how you guys keep everything spotless clean. How you stop dust build up clean 3 times a day 😅😅😅

[illmatikne]

Your Dad has some really great tools and the piece of Walnut is beautiful. I bet he was happy to be involved in your project! Great build and setup. Kudos!

[roebucksruin]

Thanks for posting this! I've been eyeing that butcher block, but seeing how European Walnut looks next to the American Black Walnut in your video helped me make a decision.

“Worked w my dad to build my desk” “he built it, I just recorded” 😂😂😂

I know this video is over a year old, but I still love the style and look of your setup, here. I have watched the latest one, but I still like this minimalist style.

I just bought the wood to make my new desk. I also just bought the MX Keys and the MX Master 3S. Before that, I upgraded my monitor (from dual 24" to a single curved ultrawide 32"). I have the monitor mounted on the wall, but I still need to run the cables in the wall. I'll wait on that until I get the new desk built since it will be out of the way and I can get to that wall much easier. I'm also mounting my USB hub and a couple other things to the underside of the desk, similar to what you did.

The desk I'm building will have cable management built into it, too. I hate seeing cables, so I made sure to add that to the design.

[nicholasaustin]

Love the setup dude. Also for anyone like me who sat here listening to that piece of music at 9:00 thinking it reminded me of something, it's Yeah yeah yeah's Sacrilege.

[skateecho]

I’d love to see or hear more about the shelves you have in there. Goes really well with the desk and i need some room Decor to spice up my setup!

[mxjordan]

That man old setup is my new upgrade in 2021

A sick desk is a sign of a clean mind.
