WOOD workstation project

[MAYHEM-MODZ]

hello guys I'm taking the internal panel again.. this plate has the same workmanship as the external aluminum panel but smaller design on file, printing on adhesive paper and working on the piece

completed

it's time to finish the wood, I use cooked linseed oil which, in addition to protecting, highlights all the grain of the wood, darkening it a little.

I'm making the support bracket for the inno3d 4070 super. I'll take a piece of aluminum recovered from unio scrap, thickness 1 mm.

I recover an aluminum angle bracket and apply the 2 threaded rivets to i

I also recover a piece of leftover mahogany wood and divide it in 2 to halve the thickness.

these are the finished pieces without first applying 2 layers of matt black

result

i think i liked the wood without the metal on top of it more.. but its your choice
great skills nonetheless

 

[Thekwango]

that's pure case porn, nice work.

It looks great, I love that finish on the wood!

Some hours spent drilling all those holes, great level of detail. Looking forward to seeing it fully finished.

Hi guys, the mod is practically finished, I'll show you the final photos later, in the meantime I made the headphone holder with the leftover wood that will accommodate the new Sharkoon SKILLER SGH50 headphones

Along with these there will be the new SGK50S4 keyboards and the now well-known SGK30

All this to complete my workstation.. let's go basic preparation

the lower base is screwed and with the addition of vinyl glue to the central pillar.

Preparation of the headphone stand, I took the correct curvature from the headphones, I glued 3 pieces of wood with vinyl glue and held them together with clamps for 4 hours, the result is a single block of wood that once worked you can't even see the joints

Gluing and fixing to the second base which will in turn be fixed to the central base.

I had this piece of aluminum left over, it was part of a Sharkoon case that I modded thicker than 1mm.

Paint is hard to remove, paint stripper makes it quicker...

Sandpaper 180 then 240 then 400 and finally 800 with water.

Fixing holes at the bottom base.

I added the tip to the base with another piece of leftover wood. To make the lines straight and at the right distance from each other I use a guide.

Fixed everything this is the central bracket.

I fix the base in aluminum.

I get another piece of aluminum to cover the fixing screws on the back and give more prominence to the structure, this is the result I hope you like it...

That's a lot of effort for a headphone stand - love it!! You were right about the oil, it really brings out a lovely colour in the wood. Please tell me you are going to wood-skin whatever monitor will be matched with this?

 

[Ollie83]

Wow, loving the wood! That headphone stand is an excellent idea too!

 

[Fluffybob]

Fantastic project, looks brilliant.

 

[neojay]

not yet the monitor...

 

[LuckyBenski]

Very impressive stuff, you have done several processes which are really better suited to CNC processes. And they look great!

Really like the design also

 

[ezekial]

Looks really nice, I really like wood aesthetics in computers

 

[Redek]

Looks great! That's cool to use woodworking to make your own set-up.

Why on earth does that PSU need a C19 power cable?! Your common or garden kettle will run up to 3000W over a kettle lead - admittedly it's not identical to a C13 PC lead but that's only a temperature tolerance.

For Mayhem-Modz' convenience, here are the forum rules. Not having a go, just took me a while to find them too...but you might want to be aware of what will get you in trouble. For this particular issue, you can't mention competitors and definitely can't post links to places other than OCUK that you could buy the sort of things that OCUK sell.

Nice work by the way. Good looking slab of wood too.

I was thinking the same about the c19 cable, talk about overkill!

Intriguing build though, I'll be following!
