@ Aaron heres the desk I made Yesterday

Post by BoyButtSlapa »

Yeah, so i made this desk yesterday, took me about 4 hours.

The base (legs + underdesk) are just regular 2x4 studs, painted with spray paint, odorless black 10 min dry + metal type spray paint. the top is made out of a 4 x 8, 3/4 inch plywood, oak finish on both sides, ready to stain, no sanding required. 2- 8'x 3/4" oak angled edges to hide the plywood, 1-8' x 3/4" edging oak finish, Ebony wood stain, diamond Oak gloss to finish.

total project costed me $175 CND

plywood = $50
stupid edges $50 <- gonna look for something cheaper if i build something else (didn't look at the price for these)
2"x4"x8' studs = $15
Stain = $12
foam brushes - $10 to apply the gloss (bought to many)
gloss - $22
spray paint - $16
had misc, Screws,air nailer,

It would have been cheaper If i priced my stuff first, but was in a rush, since my old desk sucked so much @$$, but i made it 6' x 2' with a top piece for my monitors, getting ready for tri-fire, or the neat 5 monitor setup with ati's new 6990 with all the monitors in tilt position.
I am now loving the space, and all the leg room :D

Way to go Butt. I don't see any extra match books under one leg so it looks good to me.

Notice you can't actually see the bottom of the legs too well... :mrgreen:

Honestly though, you can't find any decent wood desks for $175 (well USD, so never mind, USD is worth nothing), they are typically all either tiny or that crap particle pressed board that dissolves in even slightly humid air...So your money was well spent, but definitely shop out that trim crap next time, it is a ripoff what they charge for those things...

nah.
It contains Aspartame, which was rumored to cause several illnesses such as cancer, but has since been thoroughly proven to be wrong. Aspertame is classified to be safe for human intake in over 90 countries, and is one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the FDA has ever approved.

It's safe.
