Making Custom Desks (part 3 of 3) - Worktop, finishing, castors & keyboard shelf

Welcome to part 3 of the desk builds.  In the last video I made the drawer and drawer housing for the desk.
And in this one I'll be working on the desk top, the castors, adding a keyboard shelf and getting some glass for the desktop to protect the wood.
First I used my trim router to add a roundover to the top edges of the worktop
I then brought the worktop in to the workshop so that I could sand everything smooth and remove any burn marks left by the router.
I used my block plane just to ease over the bottom edges of the worktop

In this video I'm going to start working on a commission - this one came about thanks to my uncle who put my name forward to someone who wanted two custom desks built, one for each of his sons.
I got in touch and we discussed his requirements so I could start designing the desks - he wanted the desks 
to have some shelves and a single drawer for storage
something dismantleable so that it can be easily transported
mounted on wheels so it can be moved around easily

How I Designed The Plywood Armchair

In this video I'm going to cover how I designed the plywood chair that I built recently.  That video was a collaboration project with John Heisz from I Built It, where we both challenged ourselves to design and build a chair using only 1 sheet of plywood for material. 
The plans and a cut list for this build will be available on my Patreon page if anyone watching is interested in building one of these, link to that in the description box below.
I used SketchUp for designing the chair which is a 3d CAD program, and for home users it's free.
