Hi, I am a engineering apprentice and one of the key things that I have learnt is spindle speeds. Its a general rule that the bigger it is, the slower the speed while remaining with a consistat feed. When countersinking you need to keep the speed low to around 150 to 200 RPM to allow the bit to cutter otherwise it likes to bounce. Not having a go at you, just a bit of advise.
Appreciate it mate 👍 this was my first time using the drill press, I did consider looking up if there was a better speed but changing the order of countersink then drill worked well enough. Next time though I'll try changing the belt to a lower rpm 🤙
Mechanical Engineer here. Have dealt with the "Puzzle" aspect of extrusion assembly before. This made my perfectionist, tendancy-to-overdesign-for-robustness brain extraordinarily happy. Great job mate.
Oh dude just you wait and see! The little tests I've done so far look sooo nice. Just waiting in the final parts to arrive then project LED is green lit! Or should I say RED GREEN & BLUE LIT 😉
Yo Maker Store! Absolutely amazing job with the metal, very happy customer 👏 those tapped threads saved me so much time by not having to 3D print a janky handheld drill guide that I was planning to. Will no doubt be making more orders in the future 😀
@@camshand This is brilliant, I deliberatly left a large gap behind my current desk of about 30cm, and couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with it but I think you may have just solved the dilemma!
idk how the algo finds me cool people like u, ive been binge watching ur channel like 4 hrs straight and what a coincidence that u are also going for a transparent look ive planned a keyb, mouse, wifi router + ups, air purifier all in the trasnparent aesthtic I personally am going for the grey smoke look that is inspired from the Nothing phone 2 and Ikea kuggis smoke colorways I was really confused by the between switching midway to wood and scrapping everything, I think this vid sold me on going back to the transparent look ty for the inspiration!!
i have exactly 3 things to say 1. Boy am i glad i decided to check your UA-cam page after you told us to on Instagram 2. I am in love with that electronic ink kindle like sketchbook that you used to make sketches of the desk in the beginning 3. I oh so LOVE this project, your enthusiasm the idea and the desk itself are amazing, oh and the DOG afbdhjgh all in all I'm looking forward to your videos and you have one more loyal subscriber !
When I built a desk with these profiles, I learned to use clamps to hold the profiles together before I screw them together. This is not strictly necessary, but it makes it easier to align everything perfect before screwing it together.
Damn dude nice to see you in the comments! Absolutely loved your X-Ray collection vid, truly inspiring to see your ideas come to life as products. I'm hoping one day to dip my toe into the manufacturing world, once I make something other than a desk so it doesn't need an entire truck to ship around 🤣 Keep it up 🤙
Appreciate the tip! I don't think I've ever used a drill press before so was a bit of trial and error to get the best looking result. It was so old I literally pulled mud from wasp nests out of the belt drive gears 😅
I haven't noticed v-slot extrusion before. Looks great to work with. A lot of the basics on working with v-slot was glossed over. I wouldn't mind a V-slot 101 video with your production values if you've got the desire to make it.
It's great stuff! Was there something in particular you wanted to know about how I used V-Slot to make this project? I could cover it in one of the future parts ☺️
@@camshand maybe worth pointing out that some extrusiuon isn't v-slot! I paid a heavy price by accidently getting a non standard slot which was ok for my build but it means that getting new parts and things for it almost impossible to find (cheaply anyway) I did find a site with all the different slot types somewhere. but just a word of caution top double check it for new players.
This video found its target audience 😂 literally building a t-slot desk myself rn, the teenage engineering reference made me think “this guy gets it”, then you broke out the rams book and I laughed out loud because ive got the same book right next to me! Love the content!
instant sub after mentioning the extruded aluminum! I have tons of it laying around and looking to build some fun stuff with it! Do more videos on this!
Oh man I'm loving this stuff! What have you used it for? I'm trying to think of new project ideas now since I've always avoided metal but after this it's opened up a whole new world
I built a giant 4x8 assembly table in my wood shop, built a stand for my planner, working on a miter station which is based of a blacktail studio design and currently considering some stand alone tables for my Voron and Bambu 3D Printers. I also have a 5x5 table for my 4x4 CNC. I have some cool pictures for where I got most of the extrusions which I'm happy to share if you want? I work in lighting automation in the film industry and got most of this from a movie called Secret Headquarters. Watch the movie and you'll see tons of it being used for gun racks and other cool stuff. I have lots of behind the scenes pictures too. @@camshand
This is sick. Super keen to see part 2 of the desk set up. Also, congrats on becoming full time on youtube 😊, you definitely deserve it with the amount of time and effort you out into your videos/projects
I'm just as keen to share part 2 with you! Thank you for the congrats, it's been quite the ride from 5am mornings to now being able to build and review tech every day, loving it ♥
can't wait to see the finished result with all the knobs and and cool features. Something I always wanted in my desk is a volume knob to spin! I just really love the feeling of mechanical things and doing digitally on the computer is not the same :( Another thing you could try would be to make wireless macropads with magnetic feet to stick to the metal beams, that way its secure and you could put it anywhere
Yooo how good are tactile knobs and switches! Something so satisfying about it. My AV receiver has a huge volume knob that is a great throwback to 90s tech. Love the idea of magnets, unfortunately I did think of that for some other features then remembered aluminium isn't magnetic 😥 For a modular idea though I've thought of removable panels that have maybe magnets recessed into the metal and acrylic. It's a far off idea though as the general desk build doesn't need it. But hey, don't need a lot of the cool stuff going into it haha 😂
For that I'd consider T-Slot, it's more heavy duty for furniture builds with long spans. I got away with V-Slot simply because of the short distance between my drawers. But youd probably want to go a bit heavier duty if you're going wall to wall 👍
Only found this just now, but i'm here for it. I love custom desk builds, wish i had the money and know how to do something like this myself. Mine would look very different, different needs, but still.
Yeah it wasn't mentioned anywhere when ordering that they'd tap the threads. I had found a 3D printable insert to brace a drill bit and everything was going to be a really painful job... Incredibly pleased to see it done 👍
It is the Standard pen in Ivory White. I used to use the LAMY EMR model as the grip matched my LAMY fountain and rollerball safaris, but the Supernote pen has a very fine tip which I like the feel of more 👌
Hi Cam, I love your desk, I am considering building it too. I have easy access to the parts but I was hoping I could buy the plans from you or if possible for you to share the file from your sketchup design?
It's called the Supernote. I absolutely love it, and did a video on it titled "no more paper" incase the following link is removed: ua-cam.com/video/vh35ua1dR_4/v-deo.html
great ideas. I'm gonna watch the entire series you have on here. I'm gonna figure mine out as well . this looks like it's gonna be an amazing build idea
whoa I've never actually intentionally pushed down on it until writing this comment haha. general use no, no flex, but pressing in the centre of the 6mm panel under the keyboard and mouse I can see some flex. Nothing noticeable with normal use.
Ooooh dude that looks unreal! I love the little touches of X and /// markings. I just finished 3D printing my gaming mouse and plan to make some future iterations but as an off the shelf item my goodness is that a beauty! Thanks for sharing
OOOH This is giving me ideas! I was thinking about using some 2040 to mount my monitors on but now I might also build the desktop out of extrusion cause this looks super cool.
Appreciate the compliments and support ☺️ I'm hoping this project helps to find more viewers like you as sharing my love for tech and custom projects is my favourite thing to do!
Awesome project mate, can't wait to see the final result. As someone who is about to start building their own dream setup, found this very inspiring. Love your content, especially as a fellow Aussie! You deserve way more subs for the quality of content you bring. All the best mate 👍
Good luck on your dream build! As a tech lover I understand how special a desk setup truly is, having your own space dialled in with everything you need. Enjoy the process 😃
Amazing video you need way more attention you are making it big believe me. High quality engaging content don't let anything stop you are absolutely amazing I am happy to be at the start of something great.
Appreciate your support 👍 the UA-cam journey is a ride, that's for sure! But this year I'm doubling down with my best videos yet so hopefully more people like you find them 😁
It's called a Supernote, I absolutely love it. Runs a custom skinned version of Android to be a productivity focused ePaper tablet. I did a review on it titled "no more paper - Supernote" ua-cam.com/video/vh35ua1dR_4/v-deo.html
A very awesome project! I'm tuning in and can't wait to see the next parts and the final result. I personally wouldn't like the frosted look for my own custom desk, but this video just reminded me not to stick with desks available in the market. This inspired me to eventually dedicate the same amount of effort and time (and money lol) for my own setup in the future.
There's a parts measurement list on the price list as there were multiple beams cut to various lengths by the maker store supplier linked in the description. But I am going to put together a collection of all the measurements and CAD models I used, should have an update on that in my next video
The drawing pad is an e-ink tablet and is called a SUPERNOTE, I use it everyday, and have made a video about it 👉 ua-cam.com/video/vh35ua1dR_4/v-deo.html

regarding 2. could someone tell me what thats called and where i could get one
When I built a desk with these profiles, I learned to use clamps to hold the profiles together before I screw them together. This is not strictly necessary, but it makes it easier to align everything perfect before screwing it together.
This desk design is really awesome and I can’t wait to see video number to where you add the knobs in the LEDs to it!
I Can't wait either! It's going to be quite the process, a lot of custom tech to be programmed along the way but cannot wait until it's all finished
That console is a great idea. Perfect way to incorporate things like SD card storage, USB hub, etc. I’m going to have to steal the idea!
Yes! I have a thunderbolt dock on the way which will be stripped down and re-housed into the desk as a part of one of the console panels 🤙
this is incredible. What in the world kind of tablet is that that you're using to jot stuff down?
Catching up on the series. Wonderful work! Great ideas throughout! 🎉
Damn dude nice to see you in the comments! Absolutely loved your X-Ray collection vid, truly inspiring to see your ideas come to life as products.

Tip. When countersinking, lower your spindle speed to really low. You wont get any chatter.
Appreciate the tip! I don't think I've ever used a drill press before so was a bit of trial and error to get the best looking result.
It was so old I literally pulled mud from wasp nests out of the belt drive gears 😅

Great video, man! I can’t wait for part two. Chicago says that you are really clever, she loved the video as well.
Yo Aaron thanks for checking the vid out! Part 2 should hopefully be before the end of the month 👍 tell Chicago I'm glad she enjoyed the video 🙂

@camshand I think the table is great, you can share the CAD models with the community
I have in the most recent video 😁
@@camshand now you have one Dollar more i paid 19 Cent deutsche Mehrwertsteuer
using roll-in nuts into the extrusion makes that soooooo much easier.
Slow-Mo acrylic drilling FTW x)
This is sick!
I'm really looking forward to how this is going to turn out, this build looks like fun.
Me too! I can just picture the knobs, buttons and switches and I get so excited 😆

Awesome channel and video, Subscribed.
ive always wanted to made a massive three sided wrap around desk that follows three entire walls in my studio kind of like this
For that I'd consider T-Slot, it's more heavy duty for furniture builds with long spans. I got away with V-Slot simply because of the short distance between my drawers. But youd probably want to go a bit heavier duty if you're going wall to wall 👍
Only found this just now, but i'm here for it.
I love custom desk builds, wish i had the money and know how to do something like this myself.
Mine would look very different, different needs, but still.
Most material groups tap aluminum extrusions. Glad that was the experience you had. Some vendors just flip you the bird and take your money. lol
Yeah it wasn't mentioned anywhere when ordering that they'd tap the threads. I had found a 3D printable insert to brace a drill bit and everything was going to be a really painful job... Incredibly pleased to see it done 👍
This was so sick! Your video production is so satisfying, excited for part 2 :)
Appreciate the compliment ☺️ there was so much footage to edit through haha. I'm also very excited for Part 2... I have some surprises in store!
counter-sink screws on acrylic are really prone to cracking the acrylic. counter bore and cylindric head screws would be way safer in this regard.
Very nice project ! What’s the model of your white pen do you use with your Supernote ?
It is the Standard pen in Ivory White. I used to use the LAMY EMR model as the grip matched my LAMY fountain and rollerball safaris, but the Supernote pen has a very fine tip which I like the feel of more 👌
How did you secure the angle cuts to the frame? I am curious about a 45 degree connection.
Hi Cam, I love your desk, I am considering building it too. I have easy access to the parts but I was hoping I could buy the plans from you or if possible for you to share the file from your sketchup design?
Hi Lucas, all files I used including the SKP are linked in the description 🤙
SO EXCITED FOR PART 2!!
Me too! Final parts should be here before the end of the week so hoping to have Part 2 up by end of the month 😁
Looks great
Thank you 😊
Going to use this for my 3D printer room although most likely won’t use extrusions. I also like your shepherd, We have a male and a female.
Great video. I look forward to the future installments
I only subscribed cause the dog barked "Subscribe". But honestly, this video is freaking awesome. I was excited for you while you were building it.
Haha when I saw Bruce bark when editing I just had to do a fun edit 😜 awesome to hear you enjoyed the video so much!
What tablet were you using for your sketches?
It's called the Supernote. I absolutely love it, and did a video on it titled "no more paper" incase the following link is removed: ua-cam.com/video/vh35ua1dR_4/v-deo.html
Could have gone star trek layout😂 amazing setup👍👍
I’ve been evolving my “mega desk” for the past couple years. Each new incarnation is Better than the last
great ideas. I'm gonna watch the entire series you have on here. I'm gonna figure mine out as well . this looks like it's gonna be an amazing build idea
What type of tablet is that you're drawing on?
How flexible is the acrylic where your mouse and keyboard is? Does it bounce at all when you press the acrylic?
whoa I've never actually intentionally pushed down on it until writing this comment haha. general use no, no flex, but pressing in the centre of the 6mm panel under the keyboard and mouse I can see some flex.
Nothing noticeable with normal use.
How do I get one 🙏🙏
Fellow Aussie, and just found you via recommendations ........ looks like ive got the next week's worth of viewing sorted. Keep up the AMAZING work!!
Quick question. Whats that tablet you were using to draw out your ideas on?
THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!
Underrated channel
Hey, if you like frosted transparent tech, you should look into the pulsar X2 superclear, very cool looking mouse
Ooooh dude that looks unreal! I love the little touches of X and /// markings.
I just finished 3D printing my gaming mouse and plan to make some future iterations but as an off the shelf item my goodness is that a beauty! Thanks for sharing
Just wondering, how and where did you mount your monitor arm in this set up?
just found your channel and it might be my new favourite. I want to watch all your videos they all seem interesting. cheers.
