    No keys! I’m late to the show this time but this build was sweet dude! I really like how you did the forearm rest that’s a sweet touch. I’ve always wanted to build a desk too, hopefully when I get around to it, it’ll look half as good as this one. 😂

    Risky, I love your content, keep up the good work. I have been woodworking for 0ver 40 years and maybe in the beginning I bought extra wood but only because that is what people told me. Now on that note I have screwed up and had to improvise or go buy some wood to finish and one time I could not find the right color variation and that piece got painted. That is wood working figuring out a fix for your mistake!!

      Thank you, I appreciate your support! Yeah, I think that’s a good point. Woodworking is a lot more problem solving than many folks realize. My number one goal with problems is to make them blend seamlessly with my intentions.

    @weibullguy 2 дні тому

    Keys. But also no keys. I think with your situation, putting the key on the bottom and filling the small check on top makes sense. With something that has more and larger cracks, the keys can add to the aesthetics without being major players. With your desktop, the key would be a distraction.

    • @TimberBiscuitWoodworks
      @TimberBiscuitWoodworks 2 дні тому

      That's true, really large keys stitching a massive check in a slab can add some visual interest. I agree that on the desktop it would distract from the other elements.

    Combinations… still rebelling against the engagement gimmick that i hate, but anyway… Nice call on the arm rest. I’ve never seen that on a desk and it’s a great idea. My son is autlst1c and is constantly moving and stands a lot of the time so I got him a similar desk and he loves it, especially pushing the buttons and watching it go up and down, that and watching things spin are really common for kids like him… even though he’s almost 21 now.
