The improvised DJ/production desk thread

[GullyB]

Here's my home Ikea Expedit offering that I put together a few days ago. You'll also see how I got over supporting the heavy KRK Rokit 8's - I used the angled Capita legs at the front of both the shelf and monitor stands, but also some straight Capita legs at the rear. Very pleased with how it's turned out.

You have a full product list? Including the laptop holder... Dope build.

Cheef, I recently found you on Youtube, I thought your set up was super legit. Its kind of interesting to see you here too. I feel like a stalker.

It's exactly the same as the one on the DJTT Ikea build page (shown in white on the image), aside from the shorter shelf and the addition of the straight Capita legs at the rear of the monitor stands.

The laptop stand I got from Amazon. It's a heavy beast, extremely well built.

Finaly bought some wood. 100€ for almost real wood for the whole desk.
Superb deal.

Thanks for providing brilliant ideas. Here's my contribution to the cause. Used
- 2 x IkeaExpedit: one as base and vinyl holder, the other as top bench. Other ad-hoc cuts to reinforce the LACK TV, hide the cable mess behind and create a bit rough but solid CDJ holders.
- 1 x Ikea LACK TV Table.
- 4 x Ikea Capita legs.

One comment: it's just slightly high for me (6.1 feet tall). If I had to redo everything from scratch, I'd remove the bottom part of the Lack table to have it overall 5 cm shorter. But the monitors height is perfect!

Just put mine together last weekend. Used an existing desk it had and made my own top out of a 60"x17" piece of plywood, some scrap pieces from an old Harbor Freight car port and a piece of sheet metal from a Craftsman tool box. Combined that with some misc hardware and a couple strips of Velcro to secure my sound card and USB hub. Oh and a piece of vinyl for a mat on my laptop stand. All in all it was no more than an hour labor and $0 invested in materials as it was all stuff I had laying around.
