Making my desk

[FloppyHatPhotos]

Did the glass have a purpose or just to look cool?

[impulse9tucson]

@FloppyHatPhotos It's mostly so I can see the keyboard underneath it. But I do think it also looks cool. Unfortunately the desk is covered in stuff more often than I'd like to admit...

[Tom23S]

waste of time the wood looks tacky as fuck.

[TwiggyPunky]

How much did all the materials cost?

[impulse9tucson]

@TwiggyPunky It's been a few years, so I'm not sure the dollar amount would be the same, but: 2 4'x8' boards, a hand jigsaw, a gallon of really dark grey (almost black) paint, a cheap Ikea drawer, a used keyboard holder ($40 but usually a lot more), a pane of glass from an old entertainment center, some screws, and a corded power drill with some drill bits and hole cutters. So depending on what you already have and what you get elsewhere, from a hundred bucks to like $500?

Great. Was a great job

[tylerkenobster]

This is actually kind of amazing

[thanks1038]

I would have just bought a corner desk and some storage files but that's me

[Mercedes89beaver]

haha it the clock looked cool and that was pretty awesome



[mADESThATTER106]

this is good! hope you're still enjoying it!

[radbrad2000]

this is not that good it shows some one making a desk it doesn't show you how to

[JRM733]

This video is GREAT! Thanks for posting it. Now even more importantly, where can I get the song? I went online and found "Warm" and liked it very much also. Where is your music available for purchase? I LOVE this sound.

Nice job, I built a computer desk today....however it only took about 3 hours to finish. Anyway, your desk isn't ugly!

[sectionzeropro]

Bet that was a fun project to do. :) nice job

[flippydog101]

6:40 Cat Break!

[jakeharris99910]

hahaha at 6:58 you should see the clock spinning.....by the way i love your desk

[yawroc]

Wow this made me dizzy watching this. But hell buddy that is some work station. I have been meaning to sort all my stuff out and the desk i have is now far too small. Great video and an awesome desk. Nice One.

[briskrogue]

imagine what it would look like if this guy made the video go fast. True mexican right here

[BLink2fu]

this is so bad ass!! love it lol

[mrjdruck]

Very cool, both your desk and the video itself (not to mention the 3-point sharpshooting). I made my own treadmill desk two years ago and have been walking/working at it ever since (about 6 hrs/day at 1.2 mph and 7.0 incline). You may have inspired me to shoot a video about it. Based on my experience, tho, I'd think your lowered keyboard would cause elbow tendonitis over time. Have you experienced it? Kudos!

[connortimoti]

awesome

[kwlboy27]

LOL at the clock in the background at 7:13

[jomacro4lyf]

thats was awesome brothah, im building a desk for a school project and i reckon ur desk gives me a good idea of what it needs, how long did it take you too make it??

[impulse9tucson]

@jomacro4lyf Thanks! It took a few weeks' worth of daydreaming about how to make it, about a week of actual drawing it up (that is, I spent 20 minutes here and there for a week), and I think 3 days to actually build it. The 3 days were pretty intense, because I work from home and really had to get it set up by the time I had to get back to work on Monday!

[keykjokey]

can i buy it???

[impulse9tucson]

@keykjokey When I make the new desk, sure! I'd actually probably sell it for like $40, just because as practical as it is, it's really pretty ugly! Cool, but ugly. Like the bad guy's ship in the new Star Trek movie.

[yawroc]

@impulse9tucson

Funny line about the star trek movie, but seriously $40 man you put so much time and thought into that project. Show them the vid before you sell it. Phewww!

[MisterBokeh]

Talented....good stuff man! 

[rres2]

very nice desk but i am building one too but i designed mine in a 3d program for product design and the reason i want a custom desk is because my desk is too cheaply made and small and newer big one are too expensive for what i need so i found some big 8'x4' mahogony board and im gonna cut the desk from those because i need it to give 2 23" apple monitors and 1 20" apple monitors and a mac pro a home

[moess117]

That's awesome man, Are you a carpenter by any chance?

[mskingkongbarbie]

Man you becomes thinner after you done this project

[mskingkongbarbie]

Man you becomes thinner after you done this project

[mskingkongbarbie]

Man you becomes thinner after you done this project

[majik365]

how long did it take you and how much were you into the materials?

[Dell0304]

nice work!

[thecleaner084]

looks like the sims in ultra hd when sped up, if only games looked that good lol

[KingFreakAce]

wish i was good with wood

[sjd6247]

Great vid and the desk looks awesome! Great use of space.

[impulse9tucson]

@sjd6247 @AJwentyoyoyoyo @MiSTERMARVEL8 @NathansAwesome @littleshoeshopper @draxxman1 @P4ck3rF4n @brotherFKD Thanks for the kind comments everybody! I didn't really think it'd garner that much interest. In the next .6 months to a year, I'm actually going to replace the desk and I'll be sure to do a similar timelapse!

[AJwentyoyoyoyo]

pretty dope

[MiSTERMARVEL8]

that is amazing

[SuperStormOne]

Wow Man So Awsome I Wish I Could Make One :( !!!!

[impulse9tucson]

@SuperStormOne It's not too hard - just the right tools and a certain amount of determination!

[JAScott2008]

Sweet design, and I love that you considered mounting the two monitors. I have mine on a rack...got to wait until I'm out of a dorm room to do some actual building.

[impulse9tucson]

@JAScott2008 Yeah I made a enternainment center when i lived in an apartment and nearly got myself evicted. Turns out indoor powertools carry sound well :3

[littleshoeshopper]

your tenacity is amazing.

[draxxman1]

very nice man. you should check out some of my time lapses too if you get a chance :)

[P4ck3rF4n]

O_O Awesome!

[brotherFKD]

hay u did that realy fast lol

[BunkiNyu]

oh! I know what you can post next impulse! A video with you playing the guitar :)

[impulse9tucson]

@BunkiNyu I would but then you'd all realize how terrrrrrrible I am!!

[BunkiNyu]

shit impulse that's so awesum!

I want my future husband to do that also xD so cool!

:)

[sasusena]

Congratulations ! and it is a very nice videoclip too ! : )

[zupermx]

I'm thinking of doing a little corner desk in my house too, not as sophisticated as yours but your video inspired me to get off my rear and do it, great example you put up man thx.

Nice interaction (Music and Speed)

Wow!! cool time lapse there, say why do you have 2 LCD monitors in your computer? And do you have plans for more time lapse videos?

[impulse9tucson]

I've made a few other time lapses, but none really came out. I'll probably put it together sometime.

The 2 LCD monitors are insanely handy when doing web design. I usually have my email open on one monitor (telling me what I'm doing) and the program in which I'm working (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc.) on the other.
