that doesn't run at all- Old broken piece of crap
Woodwork / Computer / Desk - HELP AND OPINIONS
<More About the desk than the computer... so I put it here>
My rickety old desk has finally gotten to the point where I have deemed it unfit to perform its duties any longer. (my chair too but that's for next month)
I've gone to the trouble of designing my own desk that I'll be building, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the following.
-- Finding the right materials (durable, cheap, scratch resistant)
-- Finding someone (or the right tools) to do the work.
-- Finding the cylindrical parts for the two main leg/cabinets.
My ideas for the top were to make it out of plexiglass (I'll frost it myself) covered in a thick clear laminate. I'd make the legs and shelf out of plywood, covered by a thin sheet of chrome or stainless steel. The bottom leg will have my computer BUILT INTO IT. The glass above the leg which houses the computer will be clear.
The following are some images/drawings from the top of the desk.
The arrows on the 2nd picture are intake and exhaust fans that will be inside of cutouts in the leg.

Looks like a really cool project. My uncle's favorite hobby is building custom furniture and woodworking stuff. He built a desk for his office that he was able to custom design to build his flying yoke and rudder pedals into the desk because hes a pilot and he likes playing computer flight simulators.
