    I literally have zero use for a rolling ladder, but i feel like after watching this I need one immediately. Looks so good! 😍

    Shara, your project is awesome. Certainly a lot of work. I would say you really gave ypur new workshop and all your tools a real workout. I didn't see Lucy in your video (except the picture). I hope she is alright. You have so much content I had to watch twice to soak it in. I may have to watch again! Thanks for Sharing!

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks so much! I shared a small project last week because this project was so huge 😂 Lucy is well, but it was pretty chilly while I was working on this, so she stayed inside a lot haha. I did cram a lot of info in a (semi) short video…I didn’t want to miss any details 😊 glad you enjoyed and I appreciate you watching and following along!

    A great set of built-ins! I like the office desk and bookshelf combination. Very well planned and, as always, a detailed, yet simple step by step set of instructions. Your builds make my day! Lucy makes an adorable centerpiece! Thanks and I hope you’re having a great weekend! The weather is really cold today here in the Middle Tennessee. brrrrr…. Hope it’s warmer up your way!

    @vivaladolcevita10 Рік тому +1

    Rolling ladder hardware has to hold your weight as well...part of the reason why it's more expense. Great job on the built in. Great tips. One thing that could have made the face frame seamless...is to add it after installing the shelves. I really like your new work space.

  • @johnkelley9877

    Great build! We moved into a 75 year old house that has a lot of possibilities, and I see a desk/bookcase in our home office. The way you break down your large projects into simple components make them a lot less intimidating for a DIY’r. And thanks for the tip on using barn door hardware !

    This is what I have in mind for my desk. But I do not want the 2 Bookcases yet only the middle part. I've downloaded your plans and I need to make some adjustments to fit the desk in the space I have at the moment. I wanted a desk with the shelves on the ends because I wanted to fit my TV in the middle. As well as, using the right side drawers empty to fit my PC in it.

    • @WoodshopDiaries

    Looks awesome Shara! I love built-ins , but I hate clutter lol. Also I'm curious, am I the only one who loves a build while I'm building it. But hate it once it's done? Happens to me every time. Maybe I just enjoy the process more than the outcome, I'm sure my therapist would have a comment or 2 lol. Keep warm and keep rocking it!

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you! I do the opposite-I hate it every step of the process and when it’s done I love it. I had multiple breakdowns while building this and almost threw it away several times just because I didn’t know if I liked it or not and I couldn’t decide on paint colors and whether to add the lights and ladder 😂 it was chaos. But when it was done I was like okay yeah I love it. Maybe I just hate the process. We need to trade 😂 anyway thanks so much for watching! I hope you have a great weekend!

    I know this is a weird comment for a woodworking video, but i love your plant containers. Can you tell me where you got them? Also beautiful build! I'm new subscriber, but i wosh i found you sooner. I love your simple and straightforward approach to woodworking. It really makes it look doable for the average person. Thanks for your videos. ❤
    Edit: the plant containers I'm asking about are at 14:57 on the shelving unit. I realized later in the video you have a few different types, so I wanted to be more specific.

    This is just perfect 🤩🤩 thank you for showing us. How much did materials cost for this, overall? or if it's possible to ask how much would materials be just for the desk and integrated shelf on top of the desk, not counting the 2 bigger shelf on the sides?

      Thank you! It’s impossible to determine cost to build because prices on materials will vary by location and change day for day. I have the materials list in the description and listed in the plans linked in the description and I’d encourage you to check your local prices for the supplies and materials needed to figure up what it would cost to build. My cost won’t necessarily equal your cost, so I don’t generally give out cost info as yours may be less or it may be more.
