    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. youtube.com/post/UgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9… as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    Haha i loved that intro, I wasn’t expecting that
  • @MajidAlQassimi
    Congrats Chris, been a long time watcher (from the beginning) and have been wanting to build a desk like this for a while. Being a weekend woodworker (by this I mean a weekend once in a blue moon) I have been lying to myself thinking I could design and build a desk like this. Consider the video plans sold! This is the first time I purchase these, so excited and grateful they exist. Thanks again for all the phenomenal content and inspiration. Proud to be supporting!
  • @totomhavehat
    I remember coming here when you had 20 000 subs, haven't watched your videos in a while and man, you grew up so much. Your woodworking has improved so much, the videos still are funny and better than ever. Thank you for your videos and keep it up 🙌
  • @mallanac
    It is so nice that plans come in both Accurate measurements and imperial measurements.
  • @monchikun9935
    Your builds are my 2020 therapy. keeps me sane, centered, and at peace. Thanks for making amazing works of art.
  • @benlucas1039
    Absolutely stunning design. I love the way you work with repeating angles and keeping a theme throughout the whole build. Great job Chris!
  • I’m not a woodworker (at all) but I love watching these videos. It’s a really calm way for me to learn a whole lot. Thank you!
  • @sharmarao1746
    Thank you for this design dear Chris Salomone, I made the same design with a cable management platform under the table and separated the drawer. I loved it !!
  • @davidkeetz
    i didn't realize until three minutes before the end that I was very much watching a long commercial. Did a good job of editing so that you really can't take a lot away from the video in terms of building this without getting the actual plans.
  • @AAA-xc4zm
    This is te first video I watch in this channel. I have watched a lot of woodworking project videos yet you guys are the most detailed and easiest to understand.
  • @braydentyork
    I made shawns "bad larry" desk out of home milled walnut but with a sit stand top, and I may say it is also the perfect desk. Thanks for the inspiration!
  • @stephenmcgeown
    Everything about this is great. Stunning build with function and amazing aesthetics. You guys are great designers and creators, with humor and a panache for film editing too!
  • @SiedahDenise
    I’ve been watching your videos for about two years, and they’ve been really helpful when it comes to my anxiety. The way you film & edit your videos, your voice, and choice of background music are all very soothing.
  • I don’t impress easily. I think I’m just jaded in general. But dude, this desk is breathtaking from every angle you think about it. Absolutely brilliant work in the entire process including just the design. This is amazing
  • @hypedplayz8453
    This was SICK , I never comment on videos but the perfection into your work blew me up....good work
  • @Wkebab
    ... when both content and form harmoniously go hand to hand ... Thank you for your videos, they have such a soothing power on my OCD! What about a follow up video with a monitor stand for one or two monitors?
  • Another wonderful design well executed! I really dig the modularity of this piece. The angles give a lot of depth without adding actual weight.
