I Built a Completely Customized Standing Desk (and it’s epic!)

Getting your kitchen gear from Pro Home Cooks supports more content like this. Browse below!

It was time to up the production on Pro Home Cooks, so I’ve busted out of my apartment and got myself an official kitchen studio. The only issue is, I first have to build the entire thing myself! Well, I wouldn’t call it much of an issue, since building was my first passion before I found the wonderful world of cooking.

5 minutes in and he is teaching us how to cook. Did I misread the title?

The most beautiful desk top I've ever seen. It's nice that you can do such things with your father and spend time together.

You can seriously notice a difference in videos since you've changed brands so to speak. You can definitely tell that's you're passionate about what you're doing again and its awesome!

I am impressed. I am a retired woodshop teacher. Loved your Dad's shop.

[Pearlangeldream]

Yes I am an interior designer woman & now at home learning to cook. So ur teaching us both our passions ! Especially we millienials need learn before be a millionaire. Love from Malaysia.

So cool that you're a maker! I've recently started making stuff, woodworking and such, and since then I've definitely made a strong connection between making stuff in a workshop and cooking. In the end they both are taking raw materials and modifying and combining them into a finished product that didn't exist before and it now exists thanks to your work and creativity.

Definitely do more of these DIY building projects! It's refreshing to see a different side to you as well as having a change up in the variety of content! Excited to see more Mike!

Man freaking loving the change. Don't ever stop. I see a lot of hard work going into each video and i absolutely enjoyed every bit of it

0:00-7:30 is coocking - Skip to 7:40 for tutorial how to make table ;)

Nicely done, I will add some small modifications.

[BharatLagali]

Few more additions to consider (if you haven't already):
Satechi Thunderbolt-3 dock
Drop CTRL keyboard
Logitech g502 lightspeed mouse (yes, gaming <eyeroll> mouse, but trust me you won't regret it).

With the dock, you can have a truly one cable solution. All peripherals, including monitor AND power adapter, hooked up to the dock. Just one little cable between the laptop and the dock. Boom!

Cheers.

That desk is RIDICULOUS. I wish it were something you used in the studio where you will be filming! I want to see more of

"You can never have enough clamps" is the woodworkers version of "You can never have enough compost" from gardeners. Really enjoyed the video!

[heshwuan]

Two of the things that interest me most; cooking and craftsmanship. To me, as an artist/cook/DIY'er, they all go hand in hand.
I'm so glad I found this channel. Thanks for your inspirations, Mike.

[bexg]

I love that you're incorporating quick, portable meals in the midst of this massive project. You're proving that you're never too busy to make balanced meals.

[DanieKat]

The videography is so beautiful. Not to mention the wood working I always feel so inspired by you.

[XxSliMoO]

A lot of cooking shows forget about the joy of putting together your kitchen. Can't wait to see more!

[joseeduardovillanueva]

You are an inspiration for architects who love cooking.

There can't be anything better than a dad with a workshop.

[elacomedido]

Man that shop is loaded with wonderful toys. Great job on the final product and nice that you include your dad. Great content. Subscribed.

Not sure if you've already thought about this, but I would get a laptop stand and a keyboard. I've switched to using my one monitor, and keeping my laptop closed. It's clean and there's enough space on the monitor for all my windows, plus we can only multitask so much so better to keep it minimal. For window management look into Spectacle, snap all your windows in place so you're not dragging and resizing things with your mouse. Productivity!!!
