    Your level of organization is beyond belief. Truly an inspiration. Every single girl growing up should balance her Barbie exposure with common sense like this. Dolls don't make things and solve problems.....our minds and ingenuity do. Women can bring so much to the construction sector and until now have been largely ignored. Well everyone loses when that happens. You are a stark testament to that. We all can do so much more if we just start and let it just flow, unimpeded by society and its conventions and expectations. Wipe that all aside and start fresh. Finding a channel like this is like finding mental gold. Thank you for taking the care and time to bless us with your incredible skills and work. It uplifts people everywhere.

    From France, September 2023
    I'm watching your video again, just for fun, it's even better than looking at works of art:
    I absolutely don't know how to DIY and therefore admire your professional work.
    And beyond knowing how to “tinker” you still need to have the sophisticated equipment to achieve it.
    The idea of ​​saving space is really ingenious, and what's more, it's also aesthetically pleasing.
    For my keyboard model, there are small holes underneath on the left and right for the speakers. If this is also the case for your keyboard, have you thought about creating ventilation in the wood to avoid overheating?
    As far as I'm concerned, I was lucky that my keyboard could fit exactly in the "shell" of my old clavinova which was irreparable (I had the entire interior of the clavinova removed, and was then able to fit my new keyboard inside, and you really have to look twice to detect this new installation).
    BRAVO for your work and thank you for sharing it.

    This is one of the coolest desk builds I've ever seen! I've been self-teaching the piano for about 3 years now. I picked up a Roland FP-30 a few weeks into my journey with it, and something I've always wanted was a desk to combine the piano and other things (like my computer) into one space. Especially since I primarily used my Roland hooked up to my computer anyway.
    I've never done woodworking in my life, nor have I ever built a desk in my life. Built lots of things, lots of handcrafted arts and crafts projects and electronics projects, but never anything involving woodworking. I didn't even know how to create some kind of slide-out drawer.
    I appreciate this video very much, because it gives me an idea of what kind of things I will need to do in order to build my ultimate "dream desk". Currently my FP-30 sits on the way too expensive Roland wooden furniture stand with built-in pedals. One of these days I just might cut up some wood and throw something together like this :). Thank you for taking the time to build this and show the process. I appreciate it very much.

    Very inspirational! Not that I am a pianist or anything, but I do like to see how other people tackle their space constraints. It's an increasingly topical issue, especially in urban environments, that forces us to critically reflect on how we use space, without compromising too much on other fronts.

    Maybe consider adding synchronisation rods, since the drawer is much wider then it is deep and the slides are not rated to function properly for this width

    • @GetHandsDirty
      @GetHandsDirty  2 роки тому +1

      Thought about it, problem is, the Blum ones would get in the middle of the leg cutout area, defeating its purpose once the bar is there. Doesn't work too bad as is, honestly.

    You can also make a piece of covering over the digital piano as the height of the digital piano is mostly about the same height as the normal desktop. In this manner you can still let your digital piano remain portable (movable) while extending the table breadth.

    ❤ man you are a genius. That’s what I need! I don’t have tools and stuff though.
    The best I could do is buy a desk that can rise to standing height and out it at the end of my bed. I put my keyboard in front toward me, towards the bed. Then I set the laptop stand behind it.
    I can set the height according to what I am doing, but it would be nice to slide the keyboard away or put for use.
    Beautiful 🤩
