Sellers Home Corner Desk
Posted 4 January 2024
This is the introductory page for a paid video series. Want to watch more of this project? Select the best option below to get started.
When considering desks, we often think inside the box without considering ninety-degree corners to our rooms and the space it might take away from us. Paul’s thought here is to present the option of a corner desk. It’s great for those living with tight spaces, as in our case, on the landing of the house. This desk is a real space saver and also a time saver in that it’s simple to build and quite minimalist in material and the hand tools we use to build it. Join Paul on this and think about it being a dressing table option or possibly a nightstand too.
That looks stunning. Thank you Paul and team for another amazing project. Can’t wait to start building along.
Looking forward to the build. That spalted beach top is very pretty. I like it. I can see where it would be a pleasure to sit at that and work and see the lovely wood.
A Suggestion, please.
It seems that with many video producers nowadays think there is a need to insert distracting background music with the dialogue, which does not help the observer/ listener clearly hear the dialogue. If one is hearing impaired like me with tinnitus and who uses hearing aids, it is even more difficult to hear what Paul is saying clearly as one’s hearing is constantly switching between the dialogue and the music. So I humbly ask that you limit any background music to those Nature scenes and such which do not Paul’s always informative dialogue.
Thank you.
I do like the new corner desk piece, thanks Paul.
Cheers,
Michael O’Brien
Thankfully our video producer doesn’t think like that! She knows how important it is to hear Paul’s voice so you can follow along without distractions. While we think a bit of music can enhance things we try to keep this to a minimum and make sure the focus is on the dialogue. An exception was made for the introduction video where there was more background music but this is not the usual template for our weekly videos. We appreciate your feedback and will bear viewers like yourself in mind when we make these decisions.
Hi Paul and the team. I really need a desk so just excellent timing. What about dimensions of the desk so I can work out which room to put it in? Will there be a cutting list and plans.?
Best,
Nathan
There will be a drawing and plans. We are a little behind in releasing the drawings.
Ok thank you Katrina.
Thanks Paul. Looking at this made me think of something. There are some styles of furniture, curio cabinets as one example, that sit into a corner of a room. As such, the back and shelf layout requires a different type of construction. I would love to see one such example in the Paul Sellers home series. I don’t think any of the projects you have made in the master class series have ever been to sit in a corner. Just a thought. Sincerely, Joe.
Joe , he did do a corner cupboard a couple years ago on masterclasses
Hi Dean, Larry,
I just watched the corner cupboard. Perfect for what I want. I will be definitely making one nearly to the size he did his. My wife has wanted a corner cupboard for quite some time and this will work quite nicely. Thanks for suggesting it.
Sincerely,
Joe
The corner shelf project was from about 2013 and you can see the younger Paul here:

Thanks Dean and Larry. I wasn’t aware of that project. Likely will answer all my how to questions. Cool. Going to go watch the series now.
are there plans yet?
I’ve been a long time subscriber and intend to continue as I think this is the best money I’ve ever spent on woodworking. I would love to see what Paul would do building a free standing coat/hat tree for the Seller home. Keep up the good work!
This may be an up and coming project. Paul recognises this is something that is missing from the house. In the meantime there is a free standing coat stand from 4 years ago:
