Ep 1: Danish Modern Desk with Tim Rousseau – Intro
Tim Rousseau’s modern desk might look simple, but a lot goes into making such an elegant piece
Jul 09, 2019
Tim Rousseau’s modern desk might look simple, but a lot goes into making such an elegant piece. While Tim tackles this project with a pro’s perspective using tools found in professional shops, he also draws parallels to tools found in most hobbyist woodshops.
In this workshop, you’ll learn Tim’s techniques for:
- Creating accurate templates for pattern routing
- Working with curved parts
- Accurately creating angled mortise and tenon joinery

Very excited to watch this series. I've been wanting to build "this" desk ever since I saw the Designer's Notebook article. Thanks folks.
When will you be posting the rest of the series?
We post one episode a week. Sometimes a set of episodes (91, 9b, 9c)
Are the plans for this desk available?
They will be soon.
Love this! Great series. Can’t wait for the next episode! Great work Ben!
Could you, please, post a link to the original designer article?
Done
Great series! I always look forward to these video workshops by Tim. There are so many nuggets of wisdom within.
Hey Ben, buddy, on July 22 you did say these plans would be available soon - and it's been 5 months now ... so are they coming soon? Please? Pete
You're right, totally my fault too. That has been on my list for too long. We are messing with a new download format and it kept getting back burnered. I'll get back on that.
Thanks Ben, I would really appreciate that. Pete
