concepts, ideas needed
« on: February 28, 2012, 12:21:32 AM »
hey guys so as of late i recently started a new semester in high school and one of my classes is wood shop ive been deciding on making some sort of modding bench/desk  any ideas guys besides the ones i have posted below i've also thought of doing a cupboard like but when opened it had a plug in and a table inside to solder and stuff

(note i drew these concepts in google sketch up 8 for anyone wondering)

 shelving unit or hiding shelving unit inside picture frame looking shadow box

my desk i really wanna make but for what i want i it i ont got quite the money atm for it

features soldering aluminium area with a shadow picture frame on the side that reveals shelving inside with a area on the other side for a hidden shelf as well as a cubby area and on top an area with a glass top that underneath has a led lighting

then i made this last year which featured a hidden drawer inside the border of the stand ill have to take a picture of the finish product

a group of 4 or 5 holes bored in the top to keep screw etc in when taking stuff apart - its a basterd when they role under the desk

a lip around the entire table so that stuff doesnt just role off

hidden drop down compatment underneath for your stash

a draw with dividers in one large divider 6 smaller ones and two long ones for precut wire like

also in that cubby hole maybe cover all the sides with frosted glass or perspex with leds behind to create a built in light box for taking great photos of painted consoles or controlers etc

also need hole in the desk to run wires and maybe build a 12 gang extention cable into it so that you plug everything into the desk and only have one cable going from the desk to the plugs and a shelf to put your monitor and keyboard on out of the way like this




________________________________________________      Shelf for monitor
|                          |_____________________|                   |      suspended shelf for keyboard and mouse to be put on out the way
|                                                                                     |
|                                                                                     |
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII     Desk


and if you can run a strip of leds to iluminated any draws or cubourds as i hate trying to find stuff in the dark




once thats all done please post the desk to me thankyou
