Hi Guys so yeah I started a desk build about 3 months ago. Thought that I might post a log on here to see what you guys think.
So this is my first ever scratch build and I must say I'm Pretty Excited.
Since I saw the first desk builds out there I've been wanting to do one myself. After finally growing a pair I decided to hell with it and started planning.
Most of my planning has been done on paper as I simply have not had the time to go about it on sketch-up or autocad inventor. I will however get round to it sometime to give you guys an idea of how went about business.
The desk I'm using is covered in a dark brown leather (Pleather to be exact cause I'm cheap like that ) which should make things a bit more difficult when it come to cutting.
The build will be done predominately out of press wood as the desk is made from it.
These are the parts I plan on using:
In terms of the color theme for the interior of the build I haven't fully made up my mind as to whether I want to go black and red with white lighting or black and green with UV. Let me know which you guys think would look better.
The idea is that the acrylic window I will install in the top will be a smoked color to allow me to highlight only the parts I want with leds (might rather use a two way mirror).
To finish off let me just say that this build will more likely than not take place over the next few months (atleast in terms of parts I simply can't afford to build this in one go)
So if your willing to wait it out go ahead and subscribe because it will be done before the year is out.
I already started so will post some pics shortly of what I have done so far. And some info on what was done.
