The walnut inlay design feature looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing, I will now be able to look at my mistakes differently. What could have been a costly mistake really enhanced the finished piece.
I like the walnut accent and I think it is perfect for the desk as it adds more natural color to it. The inset shelving is a great idea and something I have not thought of before. The desk looks great and this was a very helpful tutorial.
Thanks so much!! I tried to keep it as simple, but as practical as possible. The inset shelf makes it feel much less cramped when working at it. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
Keep building desks, keep building anything you have great skill and not all woodworking goes according to plan. You built a desk and you built a content video as well. Some forget how much extra work is done to produce video content. Thank you for sharing.
I think the walnut design turned out great and was a great solution! Most would not have shared the challenges with leg not being square and issue with using jig saw. Your videos are great.
Ciao Sarah ! Always a pleasure to watch yor videos. I love them ! Detailed and useful! And this time, I would need a corner desk too...you just give me a good help! Sarah, merry me !! 😄 Ciao from Italy
Morning Shara, that came out beautiful. The walnut is a nice touch. Nice fix it's wood there's always a solution to make it right and you proved that. Nice job. Enjoyed watching this build. Also if customer wants a desk ya gotta build a desk. You still make it fun to watch. Have a great weekend!!!!
Snugger, nice. I will use that word while working in my shop. I may even make a sign using that word. Great build and with the mistake, it gave it more character. Awesome!!!
Thank you! I feel like every now and then you have to make up just the right word to use 😂😂 I’m glad it worked out this way...I really like the two tone detail
Great Looking desk Shara. Everything you build looks great. You have a nice eye for good aesthetically looking pieces. While I can't speak for others, I for one, love watching all your builds because I learn so much from watching you. I don't build often, so I still consider myself as learning the craft. I say that because it doesn't bother me if you make "lots of desks." You have given us a big library of other creative builds and I'm certain there's plenty more to come. Like someone else said in the comments, if that's what the customer wants, then that's what you build. It's a small phase of "lots of desks." You're good Shara. We will not stop supporting you because you make like 5-10 desk videos in a row. They have all been different desks and I have learned so many great techniques from the different needs and challenges each desk has presented to you in the build.
That is so kind! I so appreciate your rooting me on. Seriously, thank you! And also I’m so glad you find the videos helpful. It makes all the editing and filming worthwhile 😄 thanks again!
Great Project and I think I will be using part of this for my new desk. I have three photo printers that I plan to build a cabinet with pull out shelves to access these. My two favorite things Photography and Wood. Thank You for the inspirations!
I watch a lot of DIY builds but that was damn fantastic! So precise and detailed and the final product came out great. You should be proud of that one!
it turned out great just like everything you make. I watch all of your videos. I am a woodworker myself and I have learned a lot from you. thanks for sharing. look forward to seeing more of your videos
Great complete screw-up Shara! You messed that up so well.🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, you make me rethink what I know about building. Keep it simple, even for the details. Not everything has to be a “masterpiece” to be beautiful and functional. Thanks again for another fun and inspiring video.
Hey shara .....neva mind ...jus like old Bob Ross use to say "there's no mistakes hea ;jus happy accidents!!!.....great video and very creative build.....keep'em comin!......cheers.....👍🏻👍🏻😃
We have all made those design changes on our projects. Another possible solution would’ve been to put a chamfer on both the Oak leg and the plywood top. The bevel would have hidden the mismatch much better. Your solution does look very nice nice, job on the desk!
I really like the "happy accident". It turned an ordinary desk into something that stands out. Just a thought, you could possibly have used dowels to connect the walnut end pieces to make it all one piece. But, you did another great job. Keep it up!
I was about to call your DIY skills into questio when I saw you in those short shorts. But then you used your tshirt to wipe up glue so now I know your a real DIY person XD
Desks are where it's at these days. With many working from home now (WFH), desks are a big thing. I have a nice desk that's over 20 years old, however I plan to go with an electric lift desk soon.
I like Jim Tolpin’s quote about “mistakes”, “Don’t think of it as a mistake, think of it as an opportunity to redesign.” The walnut is a perfect accent.
Funny this is second vid of yours on desks to pop up on my YT feed. It funny or scary because yesterday my GF and I spent day unsuccessfully looking for home office computer desks. Pandemic has desks in short supply. I started to think build one. Last night first one of yours popped up and this morning this L shape desk which my GF wants. LOL. I would need something a bit simpler not having full wood shop.
It’s kind of a little scary...but apparently helpful since it showed you some options haha. I’m not sure which options you’ve seen, but I went on a desk building spree the last few months and have several designs to check out if you’re interested. This one is really simple (I’ve had countless people send me pictures of making it after I posted the video) and could be configured modularly to make an L shape: www.woodshopdiaries.com/easy-diy-desk-for-40/
My pocket hole pieces always move and you just screw them together without any effort. I have a towel jog and a biscuit jig, but both are sitting in the factory cases. You have an amazing talent.. Kudo's 2 U !!
Thanks so much! I get a lot of questions about driving pocket hole screws without clamps. I guess I’ve just learned how to hold them with practice...I honestly don’t know how I do it 🤷♀️ but you should get out that dowel jig! I love using mine!
I am interested in learning how to make my l-shaped desk with drawers for files with lock and drawers on the other side with a country style out of wood. I want it to last. It is meant for a laptop with an extra screen. I also want a power strip across the back of the desk on the inside. Do you have any plans for something like that?
I don't have anything that specific, but you could potentially combine the plans for this, with the plans for my file cabinet project here to make a desk with file drawers: www.woodshopdiaries.com/home-office-diy-file-cabinet/ www.woodshopdiaries.com/diy-filing-cabinet-desk-easy-modular-desk-design/
why don't you use a raving knife? BTW , I'm trying to understand how you succeed to assemble two pieces of plywood 90 degree without clamping it first . I'm using pocket holes too and it always move on me a little (never turns perfect if not clamp properly).
I just hold the pieces tightly when driving the pocket hole screws. If you drive them tight and the cuts are square, it should be pretty square when you attach. Lots of practice, too, I guess
@@WoodshopDiaries Nice , I will keep practice . problem is when you spread a glue on it, everything become slippery :-) btw , love your projects and expect to see more every week . thanks for sharing!
I thought the two tone look with the walnut looked awesome! Remember, as Bob Ross once said..."We don't make mistakes, we have happy little accidents." Lol.
At 15:39 you can see this woodworker clearly uses her head when building! I like this desk and its accents. Skilled builder.
Thank you so much!!
@@WoodshopDiaries You're welcome.

Thanks so much!! I’m so glad this mistake ended up being something even better than my original idea!
Bob Ross would call the walnut pieces "Happy Little Accidents". Great Job Shara! Love how it came together!
Thank you so much!!
Sometimes, a mistake can be the lead to a new idea... a better one too. Awesome work my lady. Thanks for sharing.
Exactly! This time worked out well! Thanks so much!

Very inspiring :) Plywood is not very popular in Poland but after watching Your movies I`ll try it. Thanks Shara :)
Absolutely genius save with the walnut idea. It looks incredible.
Thank you so much!!
Another great build, Impressed that you are not afraid to tackle big projects. Big or small you have a good talent.
Thank you I much!! I love building big pieces! I think sometimes they’re easier than smaller stuff 😅
This was so DOPE. As a woodwork newbie this appreciate the details❤

Awesome! Hope it was helpful! Happy building!
I wish to happen to me this accident because it may make my project more beautiful than the regular one! Thank you for sharing that with us, Shara.
Thank you so much!
Another very nice project! I really like how you used the walnut. Keep up the nice work.
Thanks so much!! 😄😄
Really amazing work, Shara! 😃
Fantastic idea about the walnut pieces! It turned out beautiful! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you so much!! Have a great weekend!
That walnut addition really looks awesome, it was worth the small mistake now it's better. Keep up the great work

Well done Cher, “Snugger” tho, yes it is a word now .....desk is beautiful
Thank you! I’m going to incorporate this new word as often as I can now. It seems to be a fan favorite 😂😂
Shara, I love the two tone look. You inspire me to build this too. Drawers are a little intimidating though. I do want drawers too.
I’ve linked a detailed drawer building guide in the video description and also here:
www.woodshopdiaries.com/theres-no-wrong-way-to-make-a-drawer/
The walnut accents
really completes the piece nicely.
Thanks! That was a happy accident that I’m glad worked out!
Great looking desk the walnut makes the difference,snugger great word lol
Haha snugger is my new favorite word 😂
