That's a nice looking table - but why the flush mounted decks/mixer?

[Steeevo]

Just for the sleek/tidy factor. Mite be strange mixing like that for the first time tho.

why not? It beautiful simplicity. Although your fucked if you change mixers with different dimensions.

I no. But my setup is pretty solid and simple. 2 x technics 1210 mk2, xone 22 and torq and I'm not planning on changing it anytime soon.
I'm gonna make it using 1" mdf and to make the curve out of a solid piece of poplar. Pictures coming tomorow

yea I dont think itll be a good idea bc if you ever change mixers then that part of the table is useless lol

unless you build in some inserts that can be removed and resized should you get a new mixer. Thats what i would do.

Yeah what if you made one big hollow cavity in the table, and solid inserts so that if you change anything you only have to change the inserts. You never know what you're going to change later. Also maybe mount a stand for your laptop if you're using dvs.
Just some thoughts.

Something like that really wouldnt be too hard to make... I recommend building the structure out of mdf then getting sticky back veneer, if you need i could mock up a plan on sketchup of how I would make it up once you provide dimensions.
