It's nice to see someone with your experience make mistakes with simple things like a measurement. As a complete novice, I've made the same type of mistakes and was pretty annoyed with myself overlooking something so simple. It's easy to forget how easy you make things "look". Watching your videos is like watching an professional athlete in their particular sport. You walk away thinking "I could totally do that!", then realize later that no, no you can't. Love your channel and thank you for the great content!
No matter how good you become at something simple mistakes will happen from time to time. Measure twice cut once (old but gold). Just enjoy the project and take your time. I'm a newbie to woodworking too and my first projects was a bed frame using what I think are called castle joints. Took ages as I don't have many tools but definitely worth it for the finished product. Saw it on Pinterest 18months ago and had to try it! I like the fact mistakes are shown and the humour input to the videos. Don't be disheartened by mistakes. It's a learning experience 🙂❤️
I don't usually go around offering "feel goods," but you totally can do this project. The desk frame isn't any more challenging than your average built-in garage shelving, just with nicer materials. If you lack a jointer and a planer, you can get butcher block countertops for a "reasonable" price and produce results that will make your friends and neighbors drool. At that point, it's all "sweat equity," how much time you're willing to put in to get a smooth, high-quality finish. I just spent three days in the garage French-polishing a top for a new electronics (lab style) workbench.
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
"The only one who is never wrong is the one who never does anything" I like your channel, I always learn something from your good work and always done with good vibes. Regards from Spain.
Mad respect for leaving the epoxy inlay the way it turned out. Take guts to not only show the big mistake in your video to also leave it and use it as an ongoing object lesson in learning and humility.
Lovely work Jason :) The first desk I built for my missus was a floating desk, and I somehow managed to fix it to the wall 2 inches higher than I should've, which she pointed out the moment she sat at it, I had one of two choices, I chose the second option and gave her a cushion. When I built her a new desk in a different location, the first came back to haunt me with my missus asking throughout the whole process If I would get that one right, which I made sure I did if only to reduce the mocking...;)
Banging build Jason. I like you leave mistakes in and make a joke of it. Makes it more human and achievable. We all do it. The new space is looking great.
RESPECT BROTHA!! I have my “top 3” most respected woodworkers and you are by far included in that list!!! I have been following you on UA-cam (and more recently on TikTok) for a long time!!
I really appreciate you showing the mistake at 12:40. Your presentation and style are so clean and professional, it's encouraging to remember that even high-level craftspeople sometimes make the same mistakes I do!
Beautiful desk and inlays, accidents or not, looks amazing! Very glad to see you wearing a snap back cap and dissing that oil brand. Props to you, sir!
I actually really like the Moth "mess up"! Gave my son and I the sense it was flying..lol It's definitely nice to remind ourselves that mistakes happen but that doesn't mean the outcome can't be beautiful!
I am a very new beginner in woodworking and I love your videos and humor. You are the only one I’ve subscribed too. Keep woodworking and making me laugh. Your son is getting so big.
There’s one thing you did in this video that no one else seems to do when doing the voice over and I really appreciated it and that being NOT LEAVING IN THE LOUD ASS SAW NOISE. Idk why but too many of these ppl do a voice over and yet leave the loud af saw and I wear good audio file headphones so Thankyou all your mistakes don’t compare to doing that sht in a vid props to you
@@R2DTUBE1 The short version is the proprietor of Odies posted a childish rant on instagram where he fearmongered about "Big Chemical" and criticized what he called "paid influencers". That was how I read it anyway. There ain't a damn thing wrong with Rubio, and the Odies guy provides no actual evidence that it is harmful (beyond "dere's kemmakul's in it!"). Frankly, after he was publicly shitty to a lot of people who potentially use his product, I've personally vowed never to buy Odies again. YMMV.
@@paulthegeek I'm just looking in to it now but I don't see the big deal. To stop using a product because someone shared their opinion is a bit petty isn't it? Forget the drama and get back to enjoying woodworking.
First time stumbling over your channel. Finally a woodworker with a sense of humour. Cheesy jokes, goofy behaviour (lying down for a nap on the table top killed me - I'm a simple man..), and that ridiculous look into the camera and the forced smile. I'm loving all of it. You give off a feeling of self irony, not something I'm very used to from yanks. I guess that's sort of a weird compliment, but there you go! Exactly the type of humour that always tied me a my oldest buddies together. This vid was highly enjoyable. I'll look forward to more stuff from you. Being a first year woodworker's apprentice I hope I'll pick up a thing or two looking you over the shoulder.
I always enjoy your videos and you are a skillful and knowledgable woodworker. As a professional woodworker for 40 years what baffles me on this one was why did you use expensive hardwood for your support pieces instead of a cheaper species such as poplar or similar?
Really enjoyed this build video. I love that you have not problem with including your mistakes. Don't care how experienced we might be, the little oversights still plague us. I have a small room I want to use for an office and have been wondering what do do for desk space. This idea of a floating desk may be the solution to my problem.
Jason, the only people who make mistakes are the people who are doing something. The way we learn best is by making mistakes... and, Navajo and Hopi artisans intentionally include flaws in their work so as not to be in competition with the great spirit. Nice work man. I enjoy your videos and your work. Keep on keepin on
I like the look of the over planed letters and logo, it adds a rustic quality too it. Of course another beautiful creation and a great video..!!! Thank you for your content.
Outstanding build and video! Yes a couple of minor mistakes but it is the recovery that makes the difference. Your craftsmanship is over the top! I enjoy watching you build and really like your taste in the designs you come up with. Thank you for sharing, always great!
I loooove putting little reminders like that scattered around my newly renovated house. I almost make mistakes intentionally now. My ceiling trim is filled with these little gems
Really appreciate when experienced wood workers show off their mistakes. It makes us weekend warriors feel better when we mess up. Also what blade is that on your mitre saw? Don’t think I’ve seen that all white blade before.
I love the Sound booth theme! Gave me alot of Ideas! Great looking desk too. the mistake worked to your advantage. looked great and weathered! Subbed and Notified!
I'm looking forward to an overview of this building! I have so many questions. Like "why is it so tall?", "what does it look like from the outside?" and "why would a UA-camr build a whole new studio / whatever it is without videoing the whole process and making us watch the whole thing in great detail?". You know - like: "New Studio, Episode 23 - Installing the drywall" 😂
Other solution for the drawer fronts would have been flipping them over and re-carve the opposite face. Great build. Nice to see the bracket doesn't sag. Gonna keep this in mind
This is what I would have done. Or just flipped them over and left them plain. But I guess next time just cut deeper, leaving more room for the inlay to account for material removal during finishing.
You know, if you could code right from the beginning, you wouldn't need a whole "recoding" studio. 🤣🤣 J/K! I really enjoy watching these videos of talented builders. Impressive!
Dude, your desk, “fit perfectly between those walls”. Love your videos from down in Medford! Keep it up but keep your fingers buddy… I’m talking about the jointer. Yes, the thing you always have to do, lol, but get some grippers for the jointer man. Buddy of mine that we used to play and build guitars with lost his index on one. I love YOUR fingers, you need them!!! Sorry that sounded weird…
First time watching your channel loved this build. Wish you were local because I’ve been wanting a desk like this for my craft room. I’m going to attempt a version of this desk once I have a few other projects completed. I don’t have the best tools but i think with my Circular saw and jigsaw I can do this. You have inspired me. Just wish you were local. Haven’t done any wood work in awhile so I’m a little rusty.
Just an idea for the top you could use a butcherblock like what they sell in the big box stores. That is what I am going to use for the top in my office. This video came out right at the right time for me.
@@richardlug6139 the completed table will be a L shape. The long side will be 30” deep x 8’ wide x 30” from the floor, with a 9” deep bookshelf flanking the window on each side up to the ceiling. The short part of the L will be 25”deep x 4’ wide X 25.5” from the floor. In the 4.5” will be made into a shelve maybe drawer for my large sketch pads and embroidery hoops.
Let's be honest Foreman worked really hard on this project finding all those mistakes and he deserves bonus payment. Can we say triple chocolate ice cream.
31:09 If you'd had started placing the felt tiles from the top and worked your way down, instead of starting from the bottom and working your way up, you would have been able to line them up with the ceiling a lot better.
I have been enjoying your channel for a while now. I'm not too knowledgeable, but my wife believes in me. Her 100 year old Elementary school has original wood seating in the auditorium. They are in need of some love. Have you ever done anything like this?

Not going to lie, the fact that you include your mess ups is so awesome! Makes me feel like I can do this! Keep up the great work!
I like the moth with the walnut showing through the wings. It makes it look like an actual moth with patterned wings
Glad to see that you were brave enough to finally come out of the closet! 🙌🏻👏🏻
😂

OMG that BP joke was so unexpected, but hit just right! That had me in stitches!
It's a joy to to see you build all these things. I'd love to see a project where you use all the scrap pieces of that beautiful walnut.

Your sense of humor is enjoyable to watch. Plus the drawer front are awesome they way they are! Hey you’re human!
These type of videos just solidifies that I wanna get into wood working

Beautiful desk and inlays, accidents or not, looks amazing!

Mistakes are good to learn from but you're a perfectionist! I don't see those drawer faces sticking around for too long.
Awesome. Loved it. Glad to see you keep the mistakes in, and owned it. well done sir.
I love floating things, we build a lot of floating mantels and shelfs. Thanks for your videos, they are nice and your fun to watch too.
you are exceptional, amazing woodworking and fun intertainment.

As soon as you poured the Rubio I was waiting for an Odie's dig...you did not disappoint sir.
I didn't get the meaning behind that. Care to share?
In the same boat. Watch Bourbon a lot and I know he loves Rubio. On that white oak kick but missed why he isn't an Odies fan. Just curious.
Yeah definitely don’t understand the beef lol
@@R2DTUBE1 The short version is the proprietor of Odies posted a childish rant on instagram where he fearmongered about "Big Chemical" and criticized what he called "paid influencers".

Man. That cordless track saw is sweet. So cool to not have to worry about sawing through the cord!
Beautiful desk. I truly enjoy your videos, they never have boring parts!
apart from sanding. sanding is always boring
Great work! The desk looks amazing.
This literally came out a week before I’m attempting my own floating desk. You, sir, are a prophet.
Love watching you work man. alot of amazing information and technique, thank you!
what a beautiful space. Really dig those sound tiles. Thanks for constant inspiring videos man
Jason... just made a similar mistake. Measure twice, cut once. Measure a third time, cut again. Works every time. Nice job sir!
Jason, I actually really like how your epoxy pour turned out!
We don't make mistakes, just happy accidents ~Bob Ross~
I personally like how the inlay came out. Well 👍🏼 done
I have done the measure F'd up just like that. Good fix. Nice final job. I like it!
13:50 Jason shooting all the shots!! 😂 IYKYK! 🙌 Love your stuff man.
I didn’t get the Odie’s reference. Evidently I don’t know! 😩
@@chrismatthews6770 Maybe referring to Canadian woodworker Samurai Carpenter who uses the stuff a lot.
I only come here for those luscious voice-overs. This is sure to make them even better! 👍
Killing it dude. Ordered a shirt right off the bat!
Thank you for the promo code.
Starting the first steps to getting my business started.
I love your humor and, of course, your skills. Great build
That staircase (yes, you could see it) is going to be awesome!! :)
Jason that looks fantastic. Great job . Whoever thought that adhesive wall tiles would look so good. Loving it mate 🇦🇺👍🏾

mistake or not...You Sir are a Good Guy and a great Carpenter!!😁

Pretty cool drawer faces. I like them, the moth especially looks really good.

The poke at Odies. Lol. Well, he did bring it on himself. And you are a tab hat wearer.
Great space, it looks awesome! The brass inlays still look sharp!
I think you made need your foreman to show up on the job site a bit more often! Lol, great video as always. Love how it turned out.

Turned out great Jason, awesome job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
