Anyways, i can wait a bit longer.. the desk is gonna be fiiiiiiinnneeee as fuck
lol
How much was the desk?Finally done. All i need now is a completely new rig ..
And yes, i know my camera is horseshit.
The frame itself is worth 1.500€. I got it for (almost) free. Friend works at AUDI doing office supply/managment stuff and the paint has some scratches and the white color doesnt exactly match the specifications.. so they declined them and send it back to storage, letting it collect dust... fucking AUDI has too much money man.
Oh, the frame also has electronic height adjustment from 68 to 135cm.
The hardwood was 150€ and i paid my buddy in beer and sausages \o/.
So in total i would say ~250€.
Yeah those are great deals. I did one of Google's buildings and they had a bunch of Herman Miller shit left over or being sent back. Money just flows.
150 for the butcher block top is very good

nice looking desk, but you seriously need at least a two monitor setup, bro.

shame you can't take advantage of the height adjustment, though I think the whole sit stand thing is kind of overrated.
I'm planning on buying a completely new system by the end of the year... which will include a 21:9 widescreen monitor. If i feel that's not enough, i'll use my current monitor as the 2nd one
Ey.. thats rude. Its a lovely apartmentI like the desk, but fuck that room.

Still just a concept, but I'm planning to make the final trip to the lumber yard in the Spring so I can start (and hopefully finish) the build. It will be 6/4 Black Walnut top on brushed aluminum legs.

Final size is 77" x 77".[/QUOTE]
No no no. No good. That's going to be flimsy as hell, especially where you might be wresting your arms.
*Edit* Such an old thread. My bad.
It's a corner desk obviously, but I made one side larger instead of a triangle without points, so I could have my small-form factor PC and printer on the right side.
Final, but not buffed out:
How it looks up close with the clearcoat applied, loved the grain of the wood:
It's solid cedar with a dark walnut stain. The legs underneath in the back (that you can't see, 2x2s) are angled forward so they don't hit my knees, but support pressure on the surface if you were to push down on it while getting up or something.
p.s. Protip: Don't use cedar. Such a stupid thing to do. It's crazy light-weight, but it creates such fine dust when sanding and it's incredibly soft. The desk gets dented easily, although the 15 coats of clearcoat helps. This is something I learned after this project. My last project was mahogany.
p.p.s. Never use those fucking shit foam brushes. They're complete shit.
