Worktops
I was looking through the “Show your setup” thread and at the same time thinking “Man I need to get a new Desk/Worktop”, some of you have some pretty nice worktops. Any advice where to get a decent one? Just looking for something fairly plain but modern looking, quite wide to fit all my gear on.
Nowt too fancy, if anyone has any suggestions it’d be much appreciated!
Re: Worktops
there was some desk that’s pretty popular for djs I’ve seen a lot of people using from ikea. I can’t rememer the name though, might try looking their shit up, it’s usually got that “simple but modern” feel to it
Re: Worktops
*popular for djs on DJF
What i did was buy a big panel of wood, got some big ass wall brackets and mounted the piece of wood to the wall. Varnished it up and it looks mint 
Cost me next to nothing to do aswell, cant complain about that 
Actually also bought another panel of wood (same size), got them to cut it down the middle at the store, then mounted these above the table so i have 2 cheap shelves too.
I have to clear it off but I have a plank of wood velcro’d down to a keyboard stand. It’s actually a good height for standing and DJing.
I’m in the process of either designing my own workspace, or buying something suitable. I found that 90cm in height was ideal for me. (Not sure what everyone else thinks?)
So i’m still looking for ideas,but if something turns up at the right price. I’ll take that instead of building something.

I got myn from ikea, could just do with some speaker stands to free up some space. Sadly the vci and audio 4 have gone, looking to replace them soon with some more goodies 
You got any photos you could upload, or are they in the “Show Your Setup” thread? Don’t worry, I’m not going to ask for a tutorial on how to make one
Just checked out http://www.djdeckstands.com/ some pretty nice stuff there too!
some friend of mine used a ikea expedit and mounted another board to it for the laptop. unfortunately i got no picture at hand but this one looks similiar thought its also a bit more advanced built:
if you into the diy thing browse through that thread and get some inspiration. also heard that reloop are building some fine tables, maybe thats the way to go for you…
Grab some 2x4s and 1/2 inch ply and you can knock up a “get you started” workbench in about an hour. Total cost about $30 (if you can borrow the tools).

They have a service in B&Q where if you buy a full sheet the first 4 cuts are free and then its a euro a cut after that. All the above and the screws cost me 77 euros. The guys in B&Q weren’t too stoked about it but they did it. Once its all cut nice and straight its pretty easy
Heres a pic of it loaded up
i just use 2 ikea dinner tables put together for my workstation setup.
you’d think they’d wobble but they’re actually quite sturdy!
