I DIY’d a Live-Edge Desk for THOUSANDS LESS

More people need to know about this. I pieced together a live-edge, height-adjustable, premium desk for less than $1000. Most desk companies are charging $3000-$5000 for the same thing! Check it out.

The desktop

Jarvis Hand-crank Desk Frame

Casters

Hardwax Oil

That rad keyboard and mouse

ADAM Audio Studio Monitors

Those custom cables for the studio monitors

The cinema camera we filmed everything with

Follow us on Twitter. Or Instagram, I guess.

2:00 - Do you really need time stamps?
3:00 - That was a rhetorical question...

After doing so much research into desks that suit my needs, after about a week and a half I settled on a manual-height-adjustable desk frame with live edge on top. Then BAM YouTube hit me with this 🤟 This was exactly what I needed to understand exactly what I wanted. Thank you for this 🤟

alright, i've been planning a new desk for a while but this video just pushed me over the edge. ordering a countertop today!

[TheGayDane]

This is so awesome and I’m honestly highly considering this approach thank you for this!!

[TheCrashingDad]

all this talk of stack height and cutting stems got me and that beautiful desk got me droolin'! lol

[nexttvc]

what are those speaker stands can you share the link please?

[the.fi]

Does anyone know where he got that small desk lamp

[KieranPower]

This is awesome, do you have the measurements in terms of position on the desk for the placement of the speaker stands and monitor stand? I’m looking to replicate! Thanks ❤

wow so glad I saw this, dream build mode activated

Digging the desk. Looks rad. I recently built one using a piece of butcher block.

[Fogg_Casper]

If you didn’t know, you can currently get a butcher block that’s about 98 inches at ikea it seems for $300 if you choose to have it in walnut which is honestly quite a steal if you ask me, though you can get it cheaper if you chose any of there other wood options.

I have been search for the hand crank frame. Do you know where else it can be purchased?

[jordanwinograd]

I'm building the exact desk but I'm a little confused on the bolts for the casters. The amazon link says they come with M8 x 15MM bolts. So I don't have to order them?

Great video brother 👍🏿, I'm here for the long haul. keep them coming.

[snowslopes]

This is awesome!! I need a set up like that 😂

[wilmerbong]

I am glad my choice in using Interbuild acacia wood from home depot for a setup I made last year was validated with same reason as your video!

Looking good!

Always about that metric buttload. Rad vid! got me looking sidelong at my desk setup now. 😆

so the Jarvis hand crank frame is no longer available (at least in Canada). I ended up going with the Flexispot Pro Plus Standing Desk (E7) with C shaped frame as it was one of the only ones I could find that has the c-shape. I thought this was an important distinction from the typical frame with the leg in the middle. So far it's pretty solid, a little bit of wobble when at full height but from what I've read you can't avoid this with standing desks unless you get one of the ones with 4 legs (Deskhaus Apex for example) which are very pricey.

As of today, this desk stand is no longer being sold.

I ordered the teak one too. It seems more yellow in color than yours and not as calm texture wise. Will that get better when i apply the oil? :)
