Computer desk - what ya got?


Earache

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about making a custom desk for my PC. Anyone else have a cool set up that works well for them?  Or are you still using an old door spread atop some old crates?

Post up some pics and some ideas on what you'd like to have on your desk. 

I need to get off my ass and make something cool.

Mr Slowlys new monitor is so large he has to look left and right to be able to see it all 😆 The current solution which looks like crap is to have one desk with the screen at the back and another in front of it with the keyboard and mouse allowing him to sit far enough back to see it all 😂

So I’ve bought this lovely chunk of walnut. It’ll mean he can have the absolute maximum amount of desk space available. 
Difficult to photograph lent in the hall and it’s still wrapped in plastic so doesn’t look great but I think it will work well.  DD742DE4-76C1-48E0-831A-A35D3283D401.thumb.jpeg.3df2dd7884940c03ad6901ee69361580.jpeg

I like smallish office / computer desks like that - mine at my shop is similar. But I need to get big at home for my music stuff.

Nice chunk of wood - walnut is one of my favorite species of wood to work with as it looks so rich when nicely finished. Made a dining table for my wife out of walnut.

Haven’t sat at a desk since covid started, happy enough that way. I have plans for a home office though, but don’t really know what for :classic_laugh:
