what's going on everyone I have a bow behind the camera for today Thank You buh-bye was actually gonna be helping me out with my I guess I didn't really talk to you about helping me I guess I just kind of funneled you into here and said hey you're gonna help me build a couple desk today execute that anyway we have to build two desks like I talked about the previous video in here I want one room look I'm running along this wall and another one running along the back wall there so you see we got about maybe seven to eight feet worth of space just lengthwise on both sides of the wall and we want to go to Home Depot to get the wood cut for these tests now as far as I'm aware they don't just make a desk this long that you can you know buy outright and put in your room and if they do they're pretty expensive and you have to special order most of them so we're gonna build these desks ourselves or at least assemble them once they've been cut now the pieces of wood that we need to cut are going to be basically two by fours we're gonna try to get two by fours cut in half two by twos we're gonna need some legs so we have essentially now ten legs so we're gonna do two desks remember so five legs for each desk two on the corners of each and then one in the back Center and then we're gonna need two by twos which are going to be consisting of the frame 21 inches 17 inches we'll talk about that in a second and then the desk tops of each the one on both side is going to be about a hundred and twelve inches long and the one on my side of the wall is going to be about a hundred inches long so these are the basic dimensions kind of what I'll pass along to the guy who's going to cut the wood for us at Home Depot hopefully and this is roughly what they should look like at least the frame but we're about this because this is the scale but the frame here is gonna consist of two by twos going around we're not sure if we gonna have the legs integrated into the frame or underneath the frame we're part of a sub frame we're not sure yet and then they're gonna be 21 inches long on the sides and we're gonna have a single little scent of 2x2 wood here going through the middle trying to get this thing structurally sound so that it can support multiple pcs because that's exactly what we're gonna do is put multiple pcs on these desks and have streaming gaming setups and rendering editing setups on the opposite side so we've got a lot to do I'm gonna see what Home Depot will do for us what they'll cut these aren't too difficult to do and Beau's dad actually is a pretty sweet woodworker from what it sounds like so he can refine any of the rough cuts that they may do at Home Depot so we're gonna go to the store right now check out some of the wood they have maybe check out some countertops to some cheap cheap ones if we can find some that they can cut for us and see if we can put two desks together for the new studio the be quiet dark Bass Pro 900 white edition is the definition of both function and form wireless charging case inversion and insane water cooling Headroom make it one of a kind or one of 2,000 because that's all be quiet offering click the link in this video's description for more details dude this is sick it's already oh man feel that that feels so good $35 that's pine your pine board look at all that wood it's an extra four by fours you serious oh yeah I'm sure people are gonna be watching this video thinking like are they seriously considering a four by four for a leg of a desk but I mean hey if you want rigidity you know and like structural integrity go with them wider feet yeah I don't know just an option so we would need longer than this unless we just did to eight feet desks we could just cut them down too yeah we could just do eight feet desks we would we wouldn't be able to go with anything longer than that unless we wanted to separate the desks themselves under like separate panels it looks like the thickest they're gonna make these is about three quarters of an inch yeah yeah it's a white top here it's just like this is this wood it was like like a plasticy oh yeah it's like a composite way to go yeah but look how much it's already in extending yeah thirty yeah that's not what you want no we have to go the wood this feels good I like dude feel this this is nice here but melamine Mike that's what most destr made it this is the 3/4 by 49 by oh they do this is yeah 97 inches yeah well that's 96 was 8 feet so it's still gonna be a feet so walk with just everything then all right so we might go with some MDF yeah just cause it's cheaper it's still very sturdy you can do a lot of cool things with MDF you can cut it very easily drilling into it though may be a little different we're gonna have to make sure that we have something clamping and down so it has a split when we weight drill into it that's not the only thing we need to worry about with this granted with any tops you should be you know mindful of that 26 bucks for one of these isn't too bad we'll need 2 of them of course and we're gonna have to shorten the entire length of the desk because the biggest handle like this we can find in Home Depot is only 8 feet long so we were specking it for about 10 feet but plus you put two of us at this yeah oh yeah I know this is like plenty like this is huge yeah that's true so if you have two people working on the set you'd still get your own space and have room to spare that's a good point yeah so I think I think getting two of these will be fine so that's gonna put us at about fifty fifty two dollars just for the top pieces now we're gonna have to figure out what we want to use for the frame for the legs hey it's good hey how you doing sir cuz I'm gonna need some stuff cut in a nutshell I'm looking to build two desks okay just computer desks nothing too complicated yeah would it be possible to first off could you cut a 2x4 and a half or two by two two of those okay okay so we're gonna build a frame out of two by twos then yeah and then we're gonna have legs which is two by fours there yeah melamine melamine and then we have MDF which would be better for like a top like a they're both pretty smooth but like we're looking for the top of the desk and we got a drill obviously what is it gonna get not one at all the empty air is okay but it's awful heavy okay okay melamine thin I figure the small feet this is in India Teddy I mean we got set up pieces you think half an inch would be thick enough for a top piece of a desk or a desk okay it's gonna be 8 feet by about 2 feet to vyi yeah how much stuff maybe up to 200 pounds it was pilot I'd say yes with this I don't know what the strength of the half-inch would be you know that's true foot but you going 8 feet long right right how much support you could have in the middle well we'll have one cross and cross in the middle that's what we're thinking Oh something like that so this is a topic looking down a Soviet actually look at two by four well we want to keep it all in one piece yeah by men as far as the brace yeah be half way yes yeah but we'll have two legs here we're thinking one in the back yeah yeah okay you think it's getting a half inch would work for that or you go safe and plate the reporter I think should do it okay if not put another brace in between yeah just laying a load of oil that way okay that's a good boy yeah that's easy yeah okay okay that's fair hey said that makes it cheaper anyways yeah bye to those dunes okay well actually you know it's thinking depending on how wide it is you might use well those were eight by four feet over there yeah if we just cut it in half and just use not always yeah just by one sheet no matter what yeah that's good 24 respect for 21 inches extra yeah maybe you want extra which we can do that at my dad's house for that so it cut a little further now first and then sight the first okay guys to watch long okay yeah I go bigger in that won't give you the hundred hitches I give you 96 right now that's yeah that's fine yeah okay let us some revise the dimensions real quick and we'll already have them right thank you sir appreciate it we have to shorten the length dimension so that the depth will also actually have to widen because we're gonna cut basically the way that the sheets come for the top of the desk they come in 8 by 4-foot dimensions which means that if we cut it directly in half and save ourselves the trouble of buying two sheets just to make them very exact we'll just cut it down the middle we'll have a 24 foot depth for the desk which is fine I mean really it's kind of short then 8 feet long so 96 inches that way okay so we've adjusted the dimensions now for the specs that they have in shop so now we're gonna have ten two by fours at 30 inches a piece those are the legs we're gonna have four two by twos at 22 inches for the depth of the frame and then four two by two by 90s for the length of the frame and then six support beams in the middle because the frame is 2 inches thick we have to adjust on both sides for 18 inches for the depth of those little frames in the middle now we're gonna have one large MDF 4-foot by 8-foot slab cut down the middle long weighs four to two foot by 8 foot cuts those are gonna comprise the tops of the desk I'm gonna have one temper - hardwood just something cheap in the back cut down the middle as well so that we can cover up all the cables down at the back and the bottom of desks look at that would baby cuz it stole my goodness guys like my would he like his would okay these people are looking down here so we have our wood cut down the sides we have the screw lengths that we believe we need we have the screws here I think we're ready to start at least just roughly assembling everything yeah full sand and polish or whatever we feel like we need to do after the fact all right so uh we walked out of the store paying 7650 or all the wood including the cuts and the nails these discs just by the dimensions a little bit of cost hundreds of dollars but obviously we're not including labor or power tools so assuming you have power tools you're gonna take up a job like this and assuming you're willing to put maybe two or three days worth of work into it eight hours peace out and 24 hours or so then you can get yourself some really sweet desks built to spec for less than a hundred bucks in hardware its top he's a lying rid of chick-fil-a yeah let me get an eight-count chicken nugget meal with a high C please I'd be a high C so we got the wood we're back at my place and we've got Greg sanding it down in here forget sanding the wood down getting ready got it all on here the tabletop that's going to be the support underneath through some of the legs right there we'll get you updated a little bit but this is for now let's see what you look like in just a little while how's it looking all right so we finished the first frame for the first disk and see it's decent that's where I stepped on it you're not gonna see any of that's under the desk anyway no and we might decide to put more of these middle beams here from left to right maybe one down this side and one down the center of that side just to make it a bit more sturdy but both you like hole it up in the middle there may be like a shot from far behind this is uh what its gonna look like from underneath and that looks pretty sweet the MDF is very sturdy and the frame itself you can hold from the middle wave it around it's not gonna flex or anything yeah so I think I think this is a good design considering we just kind of went with it after about 20 minutes of prepping exactly so we sanded it we got the screws in and we're gonna take it from here probably at the end of the week so stay tuned for that I'd like to thank Bo Bojangles hi Bojangles on YouTube MoMA tagged his YouTube channel down boy plays a lot of cool games on YouTube down below bow is gonna be a lot more involved with the channel here soon and we're gonna talk about some cool stuff I'm gonna be starting up as well so with that thanks for watching let's build a desk as boring as that sounds I think it's really cool to see this kind of like I don't know just as a professional I yeah yeah so eventually this will be underneath our computers our test benches our gaming setups and our editing rigs stay tuned for more stuff like this this is science studio everyone thanks for building with us like a boss you
