You could probably draw the outline of the phone when its perfectly aligned on the table so you can see where to put it exactly
Draw or put a sticker.
More like using a stencil and some low gloss spray varnish, very light, would do a visual reference without ruining the overall black finish
@@bedongskifrombedongdesign1062 yeah I meant something like that not like drawing a white outline haha would be a little bit too much but just something to like mark where the phone has to go
Using a router to make a shallow hole for the camera bump would be cool and keep the phone in place
@@solarcheese what happens when they change the bump for iPhone13? Probably a new table!
Beautiful desk. Pro tip...when applying a large sheet (linoleum, Formica, etc.) with contact cement, place dowels or scrap wood strips between the two surface until positioned correctly, then remove the spacers from one end to the other.
Builds custom table: "I sure hope this thing fits"
hahaaa when it fits
Seriously. I'm not sure if I more impress with the stuffs that this guy build or with the lot of camera angles on his videos. It's just one guy, which show his work with different camera angle... This is really impressive!!!!! It is a hard work to do that.
14:38 if this was my shop, this would be the point a wild screw appears
I dont know why this was so funny but it was lol thanks
I watch these videos in batches and I just can’t wrap my head around how great the designs are...great work
excellent video Alex, and beautiful designs as always 👏😊
Ur a legend too
Hayy love your channel
Didn't expect you to comment here
OMG LOVE UR CHANNEL (better)
@@AndrewTateOfficial_ is a
When using contact glue as a carpenter i always laid thin strips (e.c. 10mm x 10mm) of whatever wood across the width of the glued table surface more or less 100 mm apart. Then i put the linoleum glue side down on top those strips so it does not stick yet but it you can position the linoleum. Then you can pull one strip out at a time and press the surfaces together after taking one out. No wrinkles, perfect positioning and no stress ;)
Love your vids though, thnx for that
This is exactly what I am going to need to build soon!
I love how you don't hide the details and things that don't go as expected. This make your videos better and shows us up the type of person and professional you are
This is the best desk build i have ever seen. Love the drawer slides, cable hideyhole and linoleum cover!
This brought back memories! My first workbench was a door that was being thrown away from a commercial building. I built a 2x4 frame/leg structure under it and used it for years before buying a proper workbench. Great Job BTW! I love the customization!
Especially love that 'brush' to make the cables more neat!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the two tone look!
This is by far the best desk build I’ve seen on UA-cam!! Can’t wait for the plans to appear!!
Beautiful desk. The mitered details on the cabinets and top are a nice touch, and the black drawer fronts really make the grain stand out.
Always amazing when there's a new video ready to watch--- love it!
Once again, brilliant work.
that’s a beautiful desk man!! great functionality although i personally wouldn’t want my €1500 or so phone that close to the edge but more to the back , next to the access panel , those chamfers are really elegant and the handle less drawers look amazing!
Am I the only one that panicked when he sanded over the charger?
Not just the sanding of it, that is a lot of trust in the longevity of that charger... Nice desk though!
@@mikea3793 well if it dies, it dies. It won't affect the desk in the future
@@matheoml It's not a matter of if, but when the charger dies.
Yeah personally I'd have done like I've seen it on other projects cut the hole all the way through and just put a screw in plug or something underneath so if it breaks you can unscrew it and put in a new one. Not fond of permanent tech in my furniture. I like them to be user serviceable or changeable
@@matheoml Obviously the desk will still function as a desk, and a nice one at that, but.... if you look at the description it's a desk with a built in charger, so id that dies it will fail in its described function. If we want to be specific ;P
Love the vid, you can tell how much effort and planning is put in every vid.
This is crazy. I designed and built a shockingly similar desk 4 weeks ago. Lino finish, beveled edges, rear cutout. The only difference is that I used the back cutout to hide the monitor stand/integrate it and where you sit it’s cut out in a semicircle to allow better access to the work surface. I should add that yours looks fantastically clean too, well done.
has a whiteboard to write stuff down on...... puts sticky notes on it
Its free real estate
Sticky notes allow for cut & paste!!
pretty common at my work as markers seem to dry out or go missing when you need them. But every desk seems to have like 50 half used post-its you can grab - such is life
Tips on laying down large linoleum: You can always put a couple of wood slats or round rods before laying down the two adhesive material, just enough to lift the linoleum sticking to the other side. So when you lay down the linoleum there is enough adjustments to fix your overhangs. Work your way one end. And then pulling out the slats/rods out as as you go. Hope this helps for future videos. A great simple desk, and love the black and wood contrast.
This guy is practically a walking IKEA
nice, that looks so clean.
I love that you added some new songs to the mix recently, thanks.
Minor detail but it makes a big difference for me!
I love your minimalistic designs :), however, I wouldn't recommend shoving a lot of battery chargers into a drawer without ventilation. I got a thermal camera for Christmas and with such a tool you can really see that chargers are getting pretty hot and also warming up their surroundings quite fast.
Desk looks awesome!
Alex : Litterally sanding the MagSafe
Me : Crying
One of your best builds, nice work man!
Would probably suggest putting another hole in the back of that drawer with a fan to circulate the air in there because the heat some batteries put off while charging could turn it into a bit of a hot box for your other batteries. Probably not needed for most but just a suggestion depending on the batteries you charge/use and how hot they get.
Wow, the way that cable fit into the slit on the bottom of the table was just absolutely satisfying
Really smart looking.
just discovered this cool guy
and this desk is well-engineered and built
Your design and build, really impressive. I love those drawer slides.
Awesome - very nice desk!
Amazing project
Beautiful!
Just realized that you like to "burn the midnight oil", wrapping up the video at 3:38 in the morning... That's some serious commitment right there!
It is just great to see how much fun you are having and how excited you are about your results. Great channel, just found it and already viewed a lot of your videos. 👍
Love this build, great job! Happy holidays!
Nice DIY
Amazing desk!!!
Very well done!
Really nice desk setup !
Awesome table! Good project with many little things one could adapt for own projects!
Turned out great! I really like your solution for cables/power. I like how you can't see the tangle of cords from the top or the bottom.
It looks good ... very good and practical.
The dark linoleum contrasts the ash colour pretty good. And the tapered edges look great. Really nice design.
It came out so nice! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful desk. I love the design.
i need this kind of table. my desktop will look so clean because of the cable compartment. great work.
The slides of those drawers! I love them, I did not know them. Good job!
Really nice build! It looks amazing!
I can assume someone else may have already posted this but a very easy way to apply a laminate to a surface is by laying scrap wood strips across the surface (after glue is applied and tacky). This will support the laminate until you are lined up and ready to glue it down. Starting in the middle pull out a stick and let the laminate come in contact then the next stick and so on. Once all down you should be lined up right and air bubble free. Use a weighted roller to get a good glue bond.
Beautiful desk! I love the details and modern design you build.
this a very pretty design, I have been waiting for you to make one.
Your attention to detail is amazing. Great job dude
Cool table!!!

Beautiful well built desk man.
WOW now that is one great desk.
so cool ..love it
Awesome work! Looks amazing...
Great Desk Alexandre. If you ever have to stick down a surface like that linoleum again, try using dowels as spacers. You glue both surfaces as you did, but then once it has dried you place dowels or strips of wood every few centimetres on the substrate (table top). Place your vinyl (or formica) on the dowels, and then work from one end pressing down and rolling out the air bubbles. Work towards the other end, removing the dowels as you go. This process is a lot less stressful, you don't have to do it all right in one go, and you are less likely to trap air bubbles.
DId my computer table with furniture linoleum and the finish is just really nice. Plan to do a large table now too!
i ACTUALLY wanted to see someone do this, thx
Nice idea!
Awesome video!
Another amazing video
Alex you really deserve million subscribers. I really hope your channel continues growing. Thanks for all your videos. Greetings from Costa Rica !
awesome as always man !
Great video! Beautiful table!
One tip... When putting the black laminate on. Once the adhesive was applied to both surfaces you could put thin strips of wood as temporary spacers on the table top, lay the laminate on top of the spacers, align it and the remove sticks one at a time starting form the middle they apply pressure from the middle to ensure no bubbles. Anyhow, what you did worked just fine ;)
this is a very nice table 👍
Been watching woodworking videos for almost 7 years now, you just became my favorite channels!
Nice Desk Bro!
Really cool!!! You are awesome! 😎
Nice work 👍
I know we've been pestering you for months about the desk. This was worth the wait. Very nicely done.
To help with the charger, maybe stencil a thin white circle around it?
Great Woodworking !
