Nicole’s old built-in desk was falling apart, so I tore it out and built something a whole lot better in its place. This project includes lower cabinets, drawers, a fitted desktop, and eventually a full upper bookcase to transform the entire alcove. In this video, I walk through the process of measuring the space, templating the top, modeling the project in SketchUp, building the walnut casework, fitting the drawers and door, and installing everything for a clean custom fit. This is the condensed version of the project, but there’s a lot more detail in the full course. - Demystifying Built-ins (Save 20% with code BUILTIN20) - https://thewoodwhispererguild.com/product/demystifying-builtins/ - Jessem Dowel Jig - https://jessem.com/products/dowelling-jig?sca_ref=7348750.lMAJCfJTArg - Titebond Hide Glue - https://amzn.to/4cUzkvh - Milwaukee Trim Router - https://amzn.to/4esx7t6 - Milwaukee Brad Nailer - https://amzn.to/4tjkAwE - Preppin’ Weapons - https://twwstore.com/products/preppin-we
