Built myself a new desk... [pics] - GoFuckYourself.com

dready · 10-05-2007, 07:57 AM

I took a few days off last week and built myself a new desk. What do you guys think?

I added another middle shelf where the UPS is, and cut holes to run all the cables, but this is essentially it:

Yep... I used to work in live theatre so I have lots of carpentry experience.

It's flat cut oak plywood with solid oak trim. I finished it with satin varathane and a foam brush.

very nice work!!

out of curiosity, what would something like that cost to buy from a store? if you had to guess... I am looking to get a new desk : ) not sure i could make something like that but i definitely could buy

BuggyG · 10-05-2007, 08:08 AM

it's toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo clean
i'd feel out of place with it

but that's just me

pornguy · 10-05-2007, 08:13 AM

Very nice looking, and you should be proud of yourself for the work. I would be.

The nicest desk I have ever seen was one that a guy made from corian. that fucking thing weighed about a ton, but it was so cool to see it with no seams.

Emil · 10-05-2007, 08:15 AM

looks good, but do you have enough room for your arms?!?

CurrentlySober · 10-05-2007, 08:19 AM

Nice work... Makes a pleasent change fronm the 'Flat-Packs' I normally use

D · 10-05-2007, 08:21 AM

Nice.

My only concern would be air circulation down there... for the hardware... and the _hardware_.

Just the materials cost around $600. Not sure about buying one. You could hire a cabinet maker to build one who could probably do an even better job.

I wanted to lower the keyboard to make it all more ergonomic. It's much more comfortable like this than my old desk.

I've been thinking about this... I may need to put in a little fan before next summer, but so far it's fine. The hardware is running around the same temp as before. ;)

Th!nk · 10-05-2007, 08:42 AM

looks really clean. you did a good job!

Why · 10-05-2007, 08:55 AM

looks good. nice job.

swoop · 10-05-2007, 08:58 AM

very nice. keeping the natural color? staining it at all?

Chris · 10-05-2007, 09:03 AM

that is pretty nice dude

mistergardener · 10-05-2007, 09:07 AM

clean and neat. chic.

Mister E · 10-05-2007, 09:11 AM

Impressive! My people are not permitted to handle tools. It is sad and so we lament.

bobby666 · 10-05-2007, 09:15 AM

GAMEFINEST · 10-05-2007, 09:17 AM

HomerSimpson · 10-05-2007, 09:25 AM

well done...
you should change business and start building tables... ;)

Yeah, I'm going to keep it natural. It has three coats of satin Varathane, four coats on the top.

I don't have very good tools here (no chop saw, no rad saw, no table saw) so it took about 40hrs. I did take a few boards to rip on a table saw I had access to.

Most of it was done with a crappy circular saw.

beta-tester · 10-05-2007, 09:41 AM

looks great man!! Good job

DateDoc · 10-05-2007, 09:53 AM

Nice desk. If I built something like that I'd end up with a pile of firewood!

Jimmy Rock · 10-05-2007, 09:54 AM

very cool, gives me Wood@!

gornyhuy · 10-05-2007, 11:35 AM

I dig the under desk shelving - I could use some of that.

dav3 · 10-05-2007, 11:42 AM

Great desk Bob Vila!

The cables are killing me though. Pick up some velcro tape, it's awesome for tidying up the wires.

A man needs a nice, stable, wooden desk to keep his LJ6L on!

beemk · 10-05-2007, 11:47 AM

now you need a plastic roller mat or you're going to fuck up your hardwood floors.

peterk · 10-05-2007, 11:53 AM

It looks great. Congratz for a work well done

Basic_man · 10-05-2007, 11:57 AM

Looks good mate!

JamesK · 10-05-2007, 11:57 AM

Looks great man, wish I could do that

nAtuRaLbEautY · 10-05-2007, 12:04 PM

well done. great work. nice working place. =)

CreatineGuy · 10-05-2007, 12:04 PM

the table for the keyboard and mouse is too short.. tou should make it bigger, like i did mine.

martinsc · 10-05-2007, 12:05 PM

Rama · 10-05-2007, 12:14 PM

That thing is almost 10 years old and simply won't die. I've only ever had to replace the toner cartridge once. I said a couple years ago, when the toner runs out, I'm getting a new one. Maybe next year! haha!

Rowdy · 10-05-2007, 12:51 PM

Very nice job... it looks great imho

gecko · 10-06-2007, 01:26 AM
