HUGE Desk & EPOXY Sign Build for WINCHESTER AMMO!

HUGE Desk & EPOXY Sign Build for WINCHESTER AMMO!

A few months ago, Winchester Ammunition reached out to me about doing a project together. So for this latest video, I’m going to build a HUGE desk and Epoxy sign for one of their shooting facilities in Ohio. As you can already see here, I’m not exaggerating. This desk was a monster. The Epoxy sign also adds a nice finishing touch. 

So follow me as I take on this challenging project for Winchester Ammunition! If you’re following along at home or want to try it out for yourself, be sure to take a look at my video below.

HUGE Desk & EPOXY Sign Build for WINCHESTER AMMO!

sawing through wood

For this project, I used northeastern cherry wood was that air-dried. This gives it a nice red hue. To assemble the carcass, I used brad nails and face screws. Once I finished the exterior carcass, I needed to put my interior panels on so I could mount the drawers. 

When you watch the video, you will see that instead of pocket holing everything together, I used pins and face screws. For me, cutting out the pocket holes takes too long. I also need to cut some notches into these so everything can slide in smoothly. Next up, I needed to start the concrete top of the desk. For this step, I used a melamine form. 

Make sure you take a look at my HUGE Desk & EPOXY Sign Build for WINCHESTER AMMO video for a full step-by-step breakdown of this crazy build!

RAID: Shadow of Legends

Sam’s been screaming at me lately because he keeps catching me playing Raid way more often than I should be. But it’s so addicting and fun. If you don’t know what it is, Raid: Shadow of Legends is an RPG turn-based game where you can battle against other bosses and players in a fantasy-based world. My favorite game mode is the Arena where you can fight PvP battles against other players, receive weekly rewards, and increase your ranking.
