Building the impossible DJ deckstand

I think downhill mountain biking is mental, you have to wear body armour haha. we left trafalgar square at 8am on a saturday morn so it wernt to busy, i wouldnt advise cycling through the city centre tho

Anyways back to the project in hand, having both legs made, pva glued and sanded. i start on building the top. some more photos of the tulip wood being glued and biscuit jointed to the 1" MDF top.

also routed out a hole to run the cables of the decks and mixer through. And if it all lines up they should run down the leg. i also need to cut a slot in the bottom of one leg so the cables can come out.

I mean what i do on that could be seen as crazy, but even i ain't mad enough to cycle through London at Rush hour ;)

No? I love cycling in the traffic in London (and I don't wear a helmet)... it's great fun - nothing wakes you up in the morning like a bit of possible death. Crashed twice into cars recently, but someone up/down there must like me :) / :mad:
BTW: If I suddenly stop posting on these forums, you know why!

Meanwhile, back on topic...
Torx Connectiv - you could mount it on the top surface, or on the front (doesn't it have a couple of volume control thingies on it.. it isn't where you want the connectiv, but where those 2 knobs would best placed ergonomically... yes?)

Sweet job on the deckdesk(c). I was thinking 19" rackmount for the mixerfixer(c), as the maximum width of any mixer is 19"... just use blanking thingies for other size mixers.

Seriously. Seriously. Jealous! :D

Just checking to make sure my measurements where correct and the turntables fit.

You could make two small slits in the top that can accept a DJ stand, I know an Odyssey stand would work if modified but honestly they're pretty horrible stands. Maybe mod a Crane or Uberstand if you have the $.

This is what its going to look like when i fix the legs to the top
