Distressed Industrial Desk | How-to
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2017
- This is without a doubt one of my favorite builds!
A client of mine recently commissioned me to design and build an industrial desk for his office--and well, lately I've been obsessed with pictures of old abandoned factories so I tried to work that aesthetic into the design, and this is what I came up with.
Special thanks to my Patrons, as well as Lincoln Electric, and Waterlox for sponsoring my work and making this possible!

Factory Industrial Desk | How-to - Навчання та стиль
Thank You Zack!! I haven't had a real desk in 30 years and now I finally have one!! I absolutely LOVE it.! Thanks for making my office amazing!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to build it--glad you like it!
Awesome work dude! Looks great, I'm sure the customer is really happy.
Thanks!
What a beautiful table!
Excellent video editing, no time wasting yet covered every parts.
What a gorgeous project. That abandoned factory aesthetic is the best!
Came out great! Really like how you did the drawers, and the finish on the metal and wood both are top notch.
Thanks Caleb!
This is exactly the kind of desk I needed for my future study. Old world, turn off the century, industrial, but clean and classy looking. Excellent job on this one!
Thank you!
This table is one of the most beautiful industrial style table that I have seen. Your videos inspired me to start my own small workshop and to make furniture for my new house. Thanks man and keep going.
Holy crap! That's outstanding! Great job, my friend!
Thank you!
I loved the minimalist type of design for the stand, and the way you edited the music into the video was very nice. Keep up the good work.
ZH you ROCK! Amazing work and Thank you for keeping the craft alive.
Flat out the most badass desk I've ever seen! Love it!!!
That table/desk is awesome Zack! I love industrial style furniture. Well done man. 👍👍
Thank you Doug!
Impressing work. Love all the original finishes. Thank you!
From Trash to treasure.well done man.
:) Thank you!
That is a sweet desk! I have mad respect for those that can successfully incorporate metalworking into their projects!
Thank you!
Amazing desk
Man, that turned out awesome! Been listening to you talk about it on the podcast and itchin to finally see it. You did not disappoint.
Good to hear, thanks for listening Eric!
Wow. Stunning desk! Watching videos like this makes welding look so easy. I need to get some plate to practice on - I just bought a welder and figured to learn I need to just start running beads! Thanks for a great video.
Thank you! Yep, just start running beads and sticking things together. Good luck :)
Fantastic! I think the red is inspired! It reminds me of steam railways, iron bridges, overhead cranes etc ... everything industrial furniture should remind me of! A really awesome piece!
Thank you! That was my thought as well, it almost has a golden gate vibe to it.
That's the most beautifully over-engineered thing I've ever seen. Incredible work.
Thank you!
Sumptuously. It's nice to look at the master's work.
:) Thank you!
Laying it DOWN dude! That's FANTASTIC.
Thanks Derek!
Your work is really fantastic. Im hooked!!
Love the proud top. Incredible work. The finish came out great
Thank you!
One of my favourite builds also. Very nice dude......no......better than that, it's stunning!
Thanks Scott!
Hey Man, what you doing is en real craftsmanship . Super , keep it going dude .
Love your work. Really enjoy the metal and wood builds. It's something I would like to try. Thank you.
Thank you! Give it a shot!
It is definitely one of the best industrial desks I have ever seen. Hug from Argentina.-
Thank you!
I love your use of threaded inserts to under-mount table tops.
Thanks, keep it simple :)
I would call that the 'vintage fire truck' desk. With all the time and effort that went into it, it is great to see such a good result, I don't think that I would have the patience.
Iv'e been inspired by abandoned factories as well hailing from Pittsburgh. Love the structural elements and design and colors. I really got into french industrial design of the early 1900's Art Nouveau. Structural decadence.
Whoa, this is really awesome. Particularly impressed by the welding jobs!
Thank you!
Fantastic build man - That thing ain't going anywhere for the next few hundred years! I really liked the buffering method in the timber - final finish was really tasteful. Looking forward to your next project mate - cheers.
Thank you! The good news is I should have another build video posted in another week or so, I just delivered another table like 2 days ago :)
Awesome work!!! And very nice music too.Cheers!!
Hey Zack, awesome design and build project! That thing came out great! Love the video edit and music too! That fast and slo-mo change up works nice!
Thank you! Yeah, I've been playing with slo-mo a bit lately, I think I like it as well
Fantastic video. Beautiful desk.
Thanks Michael!
Dude again great build. So far my favorite as well. Great work.
Thank you!
Wow, so awesome! Your craftsmanship is amazing, great job!
Appreciate it, thanks Matt!
Fantastic build, beautiful result. Great music too. Wish I knew what all that was.
Love the music you choose for your videos.
Fantastic design, awesome fabrication skills, great videography and cool music.
You have a great future ahead of you young fella!
I hope so! Thanks Berry :)
Wow! Just subscribed. Amazing craftsmanship Zack!
Found you via Macon Campbell - really happy I followed his suggested to view your site.
Learnt something on how to get a really uniform and soft finish on wood, so thanks for that.
Thanks! I'm not familiar with Macon, I'll have to check him out. Glad you like my content, and thanks for subscribing!
Been Looking forward to this video for a while. Amazing work as usual.
Thanks Eric!
Gorgeous...and my first choice for cover in an earthquake. That thing is a BEAST. Great work.
Hah, I think the table I just finished after this build is actually even heavier-- that one should be out in a few weeks.
Thanks!
Great job,that turned out perfect👍
Beautiful work. Your welding looks awesome. I can't believe you sprayed the base with cans the finish looks stunning.
Thanks Bryan!
Heavy is good....Harder to steal....Nice one Zack...
Thanks Malcom, this is one of my favorite builds :)

Beautiful work, Zack! The plasma table seems to be pulling its weight nicely.

I really like the faux patina. I’m gonna have to try that sometime. This table is so freaking cool!
Thank you!
Killed it bro. Your welding table cracks me up
Hah, I know right, I feel so inadequate making these huge pieces on a little tiny table :)
Some day I'll have a bigger shop.
AWESOME project.

Thank you!
i was already liking the build, then i saw the chevy, now i love it
Beautiful! I've never seen that buff in stain before.
It's pretty sweet. I feel like there is no reason you couldn't use a buffer on other stains though.
Beautiful desk!
Thank you Karl!
