Some tools used in this video were provided to me, all opinions are my own.
Beautiful. desk! And great no-jointer tricks!
Thanks so much! A jointer would be really nice though....
@@3x3CustomTamar Naw stay away from those things they are super dangerous. I like your method better heck Ima start using it! 😉👌
David, I was thinking of your style the whole time she was building this. This is a very cool and clean build. Good Job Tamar!
Harley Haynes thanks!
3x3Custom - Tamar what if we want to just buy this desk not build it?
Great desk, beautifully done. Just a suggestion, Daylight LED lights around that mirror, that come on when you open the lid, would make it glamorous.
Thanks! I might have to do that!
Amazing work Tamar - I'll never tire of hearing you say "drawer" LOL
Hahahaha! I still laugh at these comments thanks!
Me too!!!!!
@@3x3CustomTamar Do you reference drawerings when making your draws? Norm Abram would always call them that. No better way to succeed than copying the masters! lol, nice piece as always. :)
jamsomito ha! We must have grown up in the same area
I was thinking the same thing. 😉
I like the way you build with less measuring. I do the same thing and usually come out with a better result. I have a visual disability so trying to see measurements on a tape or rule is a pain for me. I like to use story sticks as well. Great project!!
Thanks so much! The less math I have to use the better!
II spend hours everyday on UA-cam watching woodworking videos, but I felt in love with. I learned a lot from you and this video, wow amazing tips about dowels.
Many many thanks and love from Iran
So awesome to hear
This woman has more tools than most of us men :| Great Job!
I love the way you say drawers 💕
Ha!
I was thinking the same thing. It's like "Dra's". Cute!
Look at that cute little planer, just like a kids toy.
The dewalt one?
Another absolutely perfect construction, I am so impressed with your natural talent and your ability to draw the viewer into your world. I felt like I was standing there watching the entire process.
That’s such awesome feedback to hear. Thanks so much!!
Nice transition. Your projects are becoming more challenging. Very Nice.
Thanks a Much!
You have the best commentaries. I always learn. And the mistakes and what can go wrong are fantastically helpful.
Awesome. So happy to hear.
You never seize to amaze me...and I like how you say drawers. 😀
Ha! Thanks!!
A simple yet elegant looking table. I think a smaller version of it w/ two drawer will look great as an end table. Thanks we hope to see more of your videos soon.
Thanks! Totally agree! I’ll get to work then! Ha
Nice craftsmanship. I enjoy the projects you select.
Thanks so much!
Great! BTW you can cut acrylic on your table saw. If you leave the protective masking on it you can use the laminate trim router with a 1/16 round over bit to break the edge.
You were routing freehand to make the notch for the L bracket, very steady hands. I would've mess that up. That's a very fancy switch for a router lift.
I love that new router lift
I have never seen such a brilliant carpenter skill and technique. Beautiful work indeed 👌
☺️☺️
Hey Tamar, I'm really excited. I got your plans from Instagram and I'm building a vanity-desk for my daughter. It's going super well! Today I finished the cabinet. When I added the hinges for the lid (torsion, thanks), I discovered that I didn't have enough space on one side; the lid was hitting one of the drawer cabinets. And this is one of things I enjoy most -- creating solutions to problems that inevitably occur! Thanks for your inspiring videos!
Glad it worked out for you!
thank you Tamar . love how you say drawers. keep on
great! I'm looking for something like this for my daughter...I'll take most of these ideas...thanks a lot.
Awesome
Nice vanity, I have been wanting to add some of those doweled legs to one of my projects, Keep it up!
Thanks!
Nice job. There is something about White Oak and white paint that just works so well together. 👍
Thanks! Totally agree!
I think this is by far one of the best videos I've ever seen... I mean honestly, can we all just take a moment to appreciate the fact that you built that from scratch? This was amazing and a job well done, this video was highly interesting, but I would never, ever even think about attempting this, I'd fail just trying to nail something lol but seriously great job 🙌👏👍💪👌
You never know until you try! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
Would have loved to see how you put on the hinges on the lid. But maybe next time :) Really nice work - Love your series
I actually ended up swapping out the hinges for something else bc I wasn't happy with them,
New subscriber...came here from your failed chair...or a great learning experience ! 🤣🤣now binge watching your channel...you are very talented and your voiceovers are so clear and narrative 👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕jane
Awesome. Thanks! 💪
Haha. Routing in the dining room is tight. Making that dowel center jig tomorrow.
Awesome
I've been looking for a design for a makeup vanity with a fold up mirror. I think my wife will love this.
Awesome! Glad you like it!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who panics when it’s time for the glue up. It doesn’t matter how certain I am that everything lines up, the second there’s wet glue on my project I go into panic mode.
I have an outer body experience every time.
Perfect, love that it can fold into a normal desk basically and doesn't take up much space, plan on building this for my gf who i promised to build a vanity :)
Awesome
Talk about timing! I was looking for a build like this two days ago, but I didn't like their style that much. I'm so glad you uploaded your build! Now I can use this as a guide to build one for my girlfriend!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
So beautiful desk. You are growing up your woodworking level.
Thanks so much!
I can't believe how excited I get every time you bust out the Cross Cut Sled--this is such fantastic youtubing! Thank you!
Haha. Thanks so awesome to hear. Thanks!
Beautiful build Tamar! I love all your "high" and "low" tech solutions based on the tools you had on hand. I particularly love your "no measuring" techniques. I too hate to measure. More projects involving "draaaa's" please!
Ha! Thanks! Math is my nemesis
Great project! For me the Vix bit and impact drivers are game changers in the workshop.
Thanks! Vix bits are amazing.
Very lovely desk! You should add some LED strips on the sides of the mirror that you can connect to a USB power bank so you'll have light when doing make-up or other stuff!
Thanks! Good idea
Definitely change the piano hinge since a slight bump of the desk (children!) will have that mirror portion swinging down hard on a little hand or head.
I’ve change it out already
Just when I thought your work couldn't get any better, you pull that off! Thank you!
Ha! Thanks! ☺️
Tamar, based on your recommendation, I tried the 3 in 1 lock lubricant and... it worked great. I didn't know it existed until I saw it on your channel. THANK YOU!!
Awesome! So glad it was helpful!
Hello Tamar!! I am delighted with the designs you show, they are very original. A couple of months ago I started my carpentry and without a doubt your projects are inspiring. Greetings from Oaxaca Mexico
Awesome to hear! Thanks so much!
I was thought that the desk was amazing, until I saw what you did with the mirror. THAT was AMAZING!
Hahaha! Thanks!!
beautiful desk ... beautiful flower ..... impressive his work ..... very well explained .... looks like a retro style of the 60s but modern
Thanks!
Wonderful job!!! I do enjoy the way you work around "design modifications"... I did have an issue figuring out what a DRAH was, then it came to me... LOL Thank you so much.
😂😂
so many clever ideas! great job Tamar!
Thanks so much!
Wow, that Armor Tool AutoJig is sweet! Love your desk/vanity design, nicely done. 🤓👍
Thanks so much! They really put a lot of thought into the jig!
You're like the coolest mam ever, love the white/oak combo and the router lift foot press pedal thing is brilliant.
Yeah. That’s my new favorite toy. Ha! Thanks!
I followed this and it turned out great with some minor personal adjustments especially since I didn’t have the tool Arsenal you have 😂 was hoping I could submit a picture! Oh well thanks!
Awesome! You can send me an email!
I think this is my favorite piece of furniture that you have done. I like everything about it. Fantastic!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Nice. I noticed that you also must be sure when using the armor-all jig that your wood piece must be flat on the jig. It looks like it has a tendency to lift on one end while clamping. Great job. So glad to see you succeed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I didn’t notice the lifting. Even if it would lift slightly. I don’t think it would make much of a difference.
Your jointing process just changed my life.... thank you!
Awesome. So glad it was helpful
Nice build!
For that mirror I was thinking that if the hinge was more forward then the mirror could tip back more, maybe have more range for positioning, and the desk wouldn't have to be set away from the wall - but then there would probably be a joint on the desk top. Nicely done as is. Just an idea I have about how I might do something like this.
Thanks! For doing makeup and the like you wouldn’t really want an an angle higher than 90 degrees. You want to be looking straight on.
3x3Custom - Tamar well I wouldn’t know about that lol
I was just thinking adjustment for people of different heights and postures.
Hey Tamar, this came up really nice. About a middle compartment, leave piano hinges and maybe add a gas struts to hold a mirror olso in back position, maybe?!
Thanks! I purchased gas struts. But the drawing in the directions said I need to install it lower than how deep the compartment is.
힘도좋으시고ㅋ 기술도진짜좋으시고 정교하고 빠르고 정확하고 잘 가르쳐 주시고 박사님수준이고 멋쟁이십니다
Still living the accent and enjoying your channel so much...
Ha! Thanks so much!
Awesome build ! The trick with the flush trimming bit is what I also do for jointing edges since I don't have a jointer (nor a planner, but haven't solve this yet, still using a hand plane 😁)
Thanks! That sounds like a good work out!
Good job on the draws. Yes I just wanted to say it. 😁
Hahaha! Thanks!
I like the idea of building the case upside down. It looks much easier. My mindset is to build things upside right.
Ha! Yeah. It made building the drawer boxes easier.
Brilliant build Tamar, the overall build looks so nice and your daughter will love it.
That Pocket Hole Jig is great, love the way it automatically sets it up for you.
Well done again on a Brilliant build.
Barry (ENG)
Thanks so much Barry! She has been telling all her friends about it ☺️ and the jig is super cool!
Wonderful as always Tamar. I like your color choices for wood and paint. They really blend well together.
Thanks so much!
Wow, very very nice!
The white oak and the legs looks great, really!
Thanks so much! I love white oak
In the hardware aisle at my home center they have magnets in springs that might work to slow down that center lid. It's not soft close but might do the trick.
What a great build, I really like the desk legs.
I also like your tips for drawer slides, I haven't made any drawers yet because I always worry about messing things up.
Thanks! Just go for it!
Great job as always Tamar you are one of my favorite woodworkers on UA-cam
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
I subscribed after seeing one of your videos. I just love the way you say drawer. And you have some really neat projects. Thanks for sharing.
Haha! That’s awesome! It offends some ppl so I’m happy to hear others like it! 😂😂
Really beautiful ! I need to make one for my girlfriend, with LED lights, as I read in a comment below ! Thank you !
That would be really cool! Thanks!
Beautiful. Was thinking of making something similar as I'm making over my daughter's room. Although I've sold like to have seen a thin frame for the mirror, possibly hiding the "L" brackets. And also some soft lighting around the mirror.
Really cool desk👏
Love the pocket hole jig. Aces!
My original design had a frame around the mirror. The I got caught up with trying to find a solution for the soft close lid and just didn’t get I done in time. But I think it’s it’s fine without it for her. The l brackets would def be better if they were hidden.
Nicely done Tamar. Maybe Jet, Powermatic, or Grizzly will take notice and step up with a sponsorship (Jointer) for you.
Thanks! that would be nice....
You should do a work shop tour video. From the few videos I have seen so far it looks like you have nice setup.
Maybe soon
You're too good at it
Ha
Excellent work as always. I love the building and cutting all around the house, way to keep working during the frigid winter!
It’s a struggle for sure. Thanks!
Beautiful vanity, Tamar! I'm sure your daughter will treasure it always.
BTW -- I counted 19 (plus or minus one) times you said drawer.... ;) lol
Hahaha! Thanks so much!!
soft close gas strut will be what you need to avoid the lid drop and hurt the user.
That’s what I thought. But the one I purchased had a diagram where I needed to place the arm deeper than the depth of he compartment I had.
Hi there.. I liked that.. So simple and easy to make.. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
very smart approach to the way you measure and approached this build. Clever stuff
ThAnks! Funny how my lack of smarts become a smart thing. Ha!
Tamar you most deffently have stepped up you game. Like that auto pocket hole setup. Have a great weekend...
Thanks! It’s pretty cool. You too!
Juste magnifique. Je découvre vos vidéos
Thanks!
Always you surprise me by your lovely works , greetings from Egypt
Thanks!
Green tape as a spacer? That’s wicked genius. You learned me lol!
Ha! Yup!
Great channel glad I stumbled across this. Always enjoy seeing competent people sharing their talent. GREAT job!
Now that is MODERN! Great execution, really helpful for every level of woodworking experience!!!
Keep it up, love to see even more desk conceptions !
So glad you liked it!
Hi Tamar, This was a great project, I am totally impressed with your work. This project was really nice thinking of building it for my daughter as well. I will say you are very clever with your jigs.. Thanks
Thanks so much! Please share it with me when you do!
Just beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Really enjoy your videos. Was very impressed with your angled dowel jig. The only thing I didn't like on the desk was the L brackets. If you have a biscuit/plate joiner that would have been an option or perhaps a spline using your router table and a 1/4" straight bit to make a plunge cut spline slot.
Thanks! I totally feel you on that. I considered doing dowels again but was scared I wouldn’t get them aligned correctly. I totally should have done the spline.
Você tem muito talento. Me inspirou a aprender marcenaria.
Great desk. I really wish I had the inclination to film my projects. I just find that I lose the satisfaction of completion if I am more worried about capturing the process. Kudos to everyone that is able to balance both processes.
It’s def more work and I look forward to builds that I don’t have to film. Ha
That Armor jig makes the Kreg version look like a Tonka toy
Haha it does
It's a beautiful piece
Thanks so much!
That's really beautiful
Thanks so much!
Love your videos Tamar; they are a joy to watch. You have such great confidence in your work. Well done!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
@@3x3CustomTamar You're welcome. Did you make the work table where you are assembling the drawer? The one with the dog holes.
Bill Kingman nope. That’s from Armor Tool as well!
Love this build. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you like it! Thanks!
Beautiful design. U can use a piston for soft opening the middle section.
Thanks! I tried one that didn’t fit in the small space
There is also a hinge that can hold open used on windows. Or look for jewerly box hinges. It wont lock when open but will stop going all the way into the wall. goo.gl/images/JBGmzq
Felipe Del Papa those aren’t soft close though?
Wow ... excellent project, congratulations to the staff here in Brazil!
Thanks!
so exciting when you upload
That’s awesome to hear!
Excelente video, lo haré. gracias maestra por compartir
Thanks!
Awesome project and great video. Drawer though, drawer - that 'er' isn't silent!
Ha! Where I grew up, it is!
Great desk..
Nice pocket hole jig and nice color features ..
Thanks! They really put a lot of thought into the design
Where do you get all of these great ideas? You're really giving me confidence that I can start to make things like this in the future; it seems so daunting at first, but watching you create these great pieces of furniture gives me hope. Keep up the great work!
I got this idea when I saw my daughter sitting at a desk holding a mirror. Totally haven’t been planning this one for a while! That’s so awesome to hear! Just go for it. Make mistakes. And learn from them!
Wuuuaaa!!! Nos podemos casar. Siii
Thanks!
Great design eye. Very nice.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful desk!
Thanks!
Awesome job, I've been looking lately into building a vanity for my wife. I'll be stealing some of your idea's 😅😅.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
