Custom floating desk build - rexehuk

[rexehuk]

imgur strikes again! Image not showing.

Same issue for me... IMGUR used to be my favourite, obviously can't rely on it anymore!

Tinypic to the rescue!

Same surface as me, same mouse mat too. Looks good!

Tidy up those wires and junk under the desk! Or get some draws or something!

Nice project log though, looking good.

Haha the majority of wires are done, few stragglers there for the extension leads though. As for drawers I have no need. Perhaps I can tidy it up during the easter holidays.

Significant storage!

Looks really good, did you consider rounding off the right side so it didnt stick out as it does?

impressive build.

Really nice desk mate.

would like to do something similar but need to get it past the missus first!

Is on my todo list... Wanted to wrap it and round it, that means removing desk from wall, call the cabling etc.

I'm going to get the sub and printer off the floor, perhaps move my sub to the other side and raise the printer under my server on a ledge coming out of the wall.

When its rounded off it will look great

Where could I get some wood, like the one you have??? I am planning to make a table, not like yours though, this has inspired me

 

[rexehuk]

Got mine from Wickes with delivery... It did arrived chipped though which I wasn't too pleased about!

 

[T345]

My dad said he is going to take me there soon
I will start my project!!!

 

[rexehuk]

I still have updates to post here... much going on as of late so it's been neglected.

 

[T345]

Oh, I've been enjoying this
I am going to start my thread when I get the pieces of wood

Thanks for documenting your work - I enjoyed reading through this for the first time today.

A nice "simple" build - VERY effective.

Some more shots of the finished desk, done some cable tidying finally, I need trunking to finish the job to a high standard.

very nice mate

Very nice indeed. That socket needs changing for a chrome one though. A big change for the better.

Im looking at doing the same but i have a perfect void between 2 brick walls and a wardrobe edge, 1.55m Have you had any drooping in the surface since installed? Im looking at using a similar surface also.

No drooping, there isn't really that much weight in the middle as monitors are wall mounted. Main weight is on left and right sides where servers and pc are.

Any weight put on it is by myself, and the front has a mighty steel bar supporting it... not a chance of drooping!

From memory.... desk £80, Steel bar £20, extra wood £10-20, bolts £5?

Most expensive things are my chrome grommets which cost me a fair bit each (prices a few pages back).

Very nice indeed. That socket needs changing for a chrome one though. A big change for the better.

Lol next on my list, I promise. Also will grab some trunking to cable manage properly and out of sight.

I'm doing the same when I get the material,
