How To Build a Giant Corner Desk - Woodworking

REFERENCED VIDEOS

This desk was built for a client who wanted a really Big, Modern, L Shaped, Corner, Executive Desk...and I think we ticked all of the boxes. It is made out of walnut and measure about 100 inches along one length, and 112 inches along the other. So too big for most people's rooms. For that reason we didn't make plans for this desk, but we have plans for a different desk and plenty of other woodworking projects on our site.

“Above all else, the top.” Besides the stunning furniture design, beautiful videography, and soothing voiceovers, I live for the puns from this channel. Also loved the Helvetica reference. Great work all around.

This is such a boss desk. Now I just need to find a local workshop that can make one for me.

I'm sure it's been said before, but this channel has the same voiceover vibe as Baumgartner Restoration, and I'm living for it.

so entertaining!
As someone who doesn't have a single bit of experience with woodworking, I appreciate you taking the time to explain your tools, reasoning, and basic terminology. This video alone opened my eyes to the details like the flow of the grain from side to side as well as the edge within an edge thing, that was cool.

Absolutely gorgeous desk. Found your channel recently and really have been enjoying the teaching nature of the information. Excellent content

Your work is always so cool. It's part of the reason I've become so obsessed with modern and mid century modern furniture. I have a feeling that in 20/30/60 years, your pieces will be on that antique road show. An original four eyes coffee table/dresser/different coffee table/different dresser.

It isn't often one sees such fine woodwork. This table and all your designs are worthy of Museum Display!

WOW!!! This comment section is not sufficient for telling you how much this video helped my with problem solving a corner desk project on which I'm working. Thank you!

[jimsjacob]

Man, I love the subtle humor! 😂. The part where you watch and then re-watch the Festool video was hilarious!! 🤣

[GrantOakes]

24:30 mark, pocket hole screws in the base application is ABSOLUTELY appropriate as there won't be any force on the corners, only vertical on the wood.

I snorted when that off cut fell out of the sky after a two scene transition in the video. You guys make very slick looking content and I hope some day I'm as good.

[TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

You weren't lying, that thing is huge! Love that you went all in with hardwood for everything. Awesome job gents!

As a student of architecture, your pieces inspire me more than the majority of architecture I've seen. Funny how different technical-but-creative fields work with each other.

Arguably the best film yet - 'Above all else the top' and having to learn the domino over and over and over - BRILLIANT!

[brandonfillinger]

This is the first video I have ever seen from you man and I must say the satisfaction level is through the roof. This desk is amazing an they way you talk about the project felt like a bedtime story. I cant wait to see what else you have put together. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[ChristopherJones]

26:23 idea! Cut a slot half up the back portion of one leg and cut another slot half down the other leg. Glue, slide together and screw from both sides of the corner edge. Not sure if this is practical or adds any additional strength but it just popped in my head watching this.

This is nothing more than art, thanks for sharing

[oftankoftan]

I can tell it's taken you a long time to acquire the skills to make this.
But what's also difficult is to explain and show the process so a layman like me understands.

Man, I need that W desk you show at the end.

[philkism]

This desk is straight ballin. Price for walnut here in BC has me swooning over this piece
