Yeah my mate wanted to sink my decks and mixer and x1s into the desk. We drew up the plans but i started talking about getting a new mixer, so he said he wouldnt do it cus id be pestering him to change it all the time.
Hes right.

It probably sucks to hear, but these kinda things you gotta do yourself!

My joiner friend

I've got one of those. Maybe I should go by and say hi

No way... far too dangerous a prospect.
Me and power tools are not a good combo.

My joiner mate forbids me to do anything on my desk. He would much rather i pester him and he does it properly than me go and ruin his good work.

Ive been looking for a stand for a Mac Mini and soundcard and ext Hard Drive. Something like a tiered paper tray to stack them up. I couldnt find anything the right size so i ordered LEGO 375 Brick Box. Gonna make myself out of Lego.
Genius right..? Nope, he aint happy. All that time crafting this desk and i go an finish it off with Lego. It will look cool. Lego is cool.

I've got the 2x4 ikea stand with the tabletop. I'm 6'2", and found that using TWO tabletops on top of each other brought it the perfect height for me. I offset them about 3" to the front, so that there is a little overhang on the front. I've got THIS headphone hanger hanging under the overhang:

IKEA GRUNDTAL Toilet Roll Holder


The back of the tables has a 3" recess which is PERFECT for placing the 4-gang extension leads on...

Loads of zip-ties are a must!

Thats a great idea ;D bog roll holder for headphones!
