Custom studio desk in the making. (Argosy style)

Postby samewon » Sun Sep 04, 2016 8:22 pm

I removed the "side panels" of the d8b and used them as a template to make 4 identical pieces.

I found a table at ikea that the build will sit on.

What's left to do is to cut the front and back wood board and paint the whole thing black.

And make holes in the table so my rack units can be installed.

Great work, but also add some holes above behind to ged rid of the heating of the mixer !

best regards

Thanks!

I will keep y'all updated.
Right now I'm waiting on some rack rails I ordered.

Muy Bueno...

Can you post the general templated measurements you utilized for the consoles cavity area? Nothing elaborate, just basic dimensions if possible - would cut down the labor for anyone interested in pursuing a build of something similar *coughs*... :geek: :D

Thanx!

Peace

I am almost finished now.

The cavity width for the rack parts are around 48cm.

I can do more precise measuring in a while.
