Been in the process of building a new desk for my room to work on when at home... I have a small 2 bedroom condo and don't have another place for my desk to go, my space is somewhat limited. Anyhow, I originally was going to do something very very simple and be able to use some millwork left over from my firms offices that they were getting rid of. I still plan on using them but I was having problems figuring out how to make the desk work. Anyhow, the desk fits in a corner so I have an "L" shaped desk with the idea of putting my monitor in the corner to take full advantage of the desk space I will have.

After looking at some commercial work that SWANK-E's firm has done (from their webpage) I got the idea of adding another layer to my desk design. This new layer or plane would help in the aesthetics of the desk as well as solve some support issues I had with how I would support the corner where the two desk tops would come together.

This first image is the desk as I had originally drawn it...

The new desk design....

and another shot...

I am hoping to keep my costs down on this as much as possible (hence the use of already built millwork :))... but any suggestions or ideas would be great... I am still trying to figure out what type of dimension of lumber/wood for the lower plane (shown in model as 1 inch thick) that supports the desk top(which is 2 inches in thickness).

Hi Wizum,

I'd stick to white for the cabinets. Those (birch?) sides look a little displaced.
Try using the simple 'Lack' shelf in birch to correspond to the upright Shelf in thickness and the layer underneath the main surface in materiality. If it looks too much I'd try it in white.

Add your PC to check leg freedom under the table and maybe think of a way to make all the cables disapear ;).

yeah, I am thinking a birch for the layer underneath... or oak... a light wood to contrast with the dark walnut colored top... I already have built the tops but because of the way I built them I will have to stain them... not my prefered way of using wood but again I don't have a ton of money to throw at this little project...

I am actually playing off of the furniture I have going in my living room with light and dark woods... I haven't finished that room either but will be having a walnut coffe table that I built back in school, I already have 4 birch floating shelves, and I have light colored couches, and a light colored TV platform... So I am trying to stay with that idea of light and dark woods...

That cabinets are actually right now not white... they are actually laminated with a grey color... on the side I have placed the birch color wood it is to help hide the side of the cabinets that are unfinished. I am still trying to decide on how I will deal with these cabinets but may eventually leave as is... and the two shelves I have above the desk are already there... I got those from Ikea a few months ago and are already full of books and stuff so the color on those will not change (but it is possible that I could change my mind if the birch color would look better... they were fairly cheap and I could maybe use the darker shelve peices somewhere else)...

I don't like that board under the desktop. Dust gatherer and not thaat hot looking. If you can get some more extra millwork I would go for a solution like this. Also I don't like how you chopped the top part of the shelves in the left to make place for the boart. I would rearrange the sizes and make them all the same. Consider placing some drawers on the side since you won't be able to reach the back of the shelves.

CACAPIS, the desk is to place in this enviroment...

Ouch, sorry that post must have sounded harsh. I like the desk design but I was in a hurry and forgot to say that.
Pedro, you can´t let the desktops thread go! lol

Ah, and now I see that you alredy have those little shelves that go under the desk but in the SU pictures they have different sizes. Maybe you can rearrange them. I don't know...

just a question does wizum and pedro live together or do they just photoshop their dogs into eachothers' pictures????
lol

CACAPIS, the desk is to place in this enviroment...

yes... right on... that is the space Pedro...and as you can see it isn't the largest space in the world... I will have to finish my room model so you can see the whole space to get a better idea of how it all will fit... unitl then here is the desk with a desk chair in it to give you a better understanding of the scale...

I already have the mill work and I was thinking of how not to make the desk too tall so was thinking I would cut down the "grid" cabinet piece (currently my millwork pieces stand at 28 and a half inches tall which was putting my desk top at about 30 inch, with my old design... but with the new design it would put my desktop at about 33 to 34 inch. and I think that would be getting too tall as my desk chair wouldn't get me high enough to properly reach my keyboard and such)...

Actually I do like the gap between the two horizontal piece because it would allow me to put drawings and misc. papers there and out of my way on my desktop... part of my proplem is my desktop space and I always find I have paper on it so I can't properly use it... but your comment on a dust collector is valid and I will just have to deal with that :) I aesthetically like the seperation of the two planes...

and another pic standing in the opposite corner of my room...

and Ouesty I have never met Pedro :) but my dog is like my shadow... she never leaves my side... I guess I smell nice :D

and don't worry Cacapis... I gotz thick skin :) been doing this too long to get my feel'ns hurt... I will of course take ideas in to considerations but I think for the most part I am heading in the direction I have shown...

a big concern is how to build the lighter wood pieces as they aren't a thickness of your typical dimension for sheets of wood...

the dark walnut tops I built like a hollow core door with 1/4 inch. sheets sandwiched with 1X's ripped to get me my two inch thickness... I have been using that technique for the shelves you see in my images and the pic Pedro posted of my room... it makes for a lighter shelf and also gives me control of thickness... but with a 1inch. thick piece this seems an excessive way of going about it... what I am discribing making sense?

just a question does wizum and pedro live together or do they just photoshop their dogs into eachothers' pictures????
lol
:D :D :D :D Ouesty.... in that picture it is WIZUM dog, and room...
as CACAPIS said, from the PPB desktop thread (http://www.pushpullbar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1710&highlight=desktop).... :D

and don't worry Cacapis... I gotz thick skin :) been doing this too long to get my feel'ns hurt... I will of course take ideas in to considerations but I think for the most part I am heading in the direction I have shown...

Good, it's so much better to have thick skin regarding these issues.
Now that you say being that the top board is so thick I don't think you need that middle support between the top an lower boards. If you remove it it could be useful to store larger plans unrolled.

good point... I will look at that... I will of course play with what support, between those two pieces, that I will actually need once I get it all built... and of course I will post some images of it when I get it done... I am hoping to put some time into it tomorrow... thanks for the crits... and anyother suggestions are surely welcome...

I have a desk which was built before and i designed in a radius. This gives a lot more space and i found it more comfortable for my elbows . It also allows you to be a little further from your monitor.

That extra layer will be great for hiding cords etc, but it will also be a dust maintenance nightmare – almost inaccessible.

Take a look a Richard's desk thread too. I like the free standing stuff more than anything attached to a wall.

Highly recommended even if it is an add on (or in) curved panel piece
can be easily fixed with flat plates screwed to underside

great suggestion... I thought about it before, as my desk at work is like this on the corner, but I wasn't surehow I would be able to do it... But I guess I can figure something out... and of course it will be an additive piece as I have already got my tops built already...

maybe not a radius, but just a corner.

Knoll makes an add on corner surface to turn a right angle work station into a corner workstation:

thanks for the link Greg... a great idea... though I may have discounted myself from its use because my desk top pieces are 2 inch. thick and the corner piece they are showing will only work with 1 1/2 inch. :( But I'll look around some more and see what I can find... a great solution regardless... thanks

Apart from its probable price tag a weakness in the Knoll design is that it lays on the top & has a ridge so if you can route the top so its flush it would be better & more comfortable

OK, OK!!!... don't get your panties in a wad guys :)

I have finish building the tops and started to stain them (the stain came out darker than I wanted :() ... I haven't gotten a chance yet to work on it in a few weeks... I am still struggling with how to finish off the edges of the desk tops... I have a coupld of images I can post later when I get home from work... to let you see how I have constructed them to this point...

OK...

I had to change a few things in my design as I allowed one of the casework pieces I was going to use get ruined by leaving it out in the rain (don't ask :))

Anyhow, I have the design down to a point that I am pretty happy with and will hopefully be working on it this weekend (and possibly finishing). I have two slight variations and have a few concerns about the structure of the desk. I am hoping to get some suggestions on how to deal with the issues I see on supporting the desk.

This first pic is the first variation...

This next pic is the first variation too... just a different view... I am having to use legs on the end that my millwork was going to be... my desk drawer and file drawer. This will now have to be a detached piece that I will probably be on casters and out from my desk.

This next image is the second variation. the main difference being on how I connect the lower layer (the support layer) to the desk millwork. I am using the wood veneer pieces to try and hide the millwork piece as it has an ugly gray laminated surface. By covering the ends I am killing to birds with one stone - hiding that laminate from the sides and also it can become part of the support mechanism.

Where I am currently concerned is the middle part of the desk and where the two top pieces come together. I will probably use dowels to join them together but that will still not be near enough to support the load of a 40 lb. + monitor that will sit in the corner of the "L" shaped desk. You can see I have shown some support pieces from below but I am still a little concerned about how much weight that can really support and also that my lower layer will have some deflection at the point it is trying to support.

I could add some "beam" like pieces below the lower layer but then I feel aesthetically that begins to take away from the purity or simplicity of the design somewhat.

Any suggestions?

why don't you post the skippy?

I think the rod's between the two pieces get a little fussy. If the desk is up against the wall, I don't think you will see them anyway. I don't mind the rods on the end as much. You should extend the wood support all the way to the top and let the lower board be secondary. I assume that the 2" top can support itself.

Any suggestions?

What about using some thin cables and make it a tensile structure - pull up on the center from the sides? You don't have much depth to work with, but you might give it some thought. :wondering

good point Josh... here is the skippy... this is the second variation, which I am leaning towards...

And just to reinforce what my concern is...

The weak point of the desk is at the connection of the two tops. with 40 lbs. coming down in weight on that corner I am also not sure if I do put a support piece under the desk top around that connection if it should be placed to support the top piece that the monitor sits on or the top piece that joins to that one.

Gaffman... good idea on the tension angle... I'll give it some thought...

Also forgot to mention that the vertical "fin" piece will help hide all my computer cables and so forth. That was a comment someone made earlier in the thread and it seems that this would be one way of having it do that.

Wow...A 40 pound monitor? Maybe time for a flat panel.;)

If that joint is biscuited (spelling?) and glued it should not be a problem.

Don't you love how projects at home take up to and over 6 months to complete?

yeah, I actually started this thing a while ago ( a year?) It has just been sitting at a friends place. My Dad finally got to fixing up his shop and just bought a new table saw so I grabbed all my stuff and moved it there. Hopefully that will get me motivated to finish the damned thing off :)

what will be nice is that I will take the table I am currently using, which I built in school, and trim down the legs to make it into my new coffee table. Another reason I want to go ahead and get this thing done.

As far as the joint, you really think the biscuit will be strong enough? I guess I would just do it and if it doesn't work I am always make the adjustments to support then.

Yes, a flat panel monitor is on the list too. My 19" crt is like a freak'n boat anchor :)

No, but Pedro has a hidden webcam there.lol:D

What about overlapping the joints? Is the top two full layers of 3/4"? Might make moving and installation a bit difficult, but strong. When I get home this evening, I will take a picture of my desk at home. I have a similar condition and is very strong.

Pic 2

And Pic 3, Please pardon the mess. As you can see I have not finished yet. I installed this in September of 06 and still a work in progress. After I get this place cleaned up I will take more and better pics.

I'm not a fan of the tacked on 45 bevel...takes away from the composition you are trying to achieve. What about reinforcing the horizontal line with another but using a tertiary supporting material (steel/aluminum)? Accessibility becomes a question...and costs rise...

Here's my stab at it...

And the skippy....stupid desk. :poke fun:

hey... that hurts my feelings :D

Some good suggestions... I actually haven't made the angled piece yet so I still have some consideration on that one... It is something too that I can add later once I have the desk built and installed...

I was working on the top pieces today and will have them finished off tomorrow. I have a few pics showing how they are coming along. I will share those soon.

I like the suggestion and I thought of something similar Tim when I was thinking of a good way to build the under layer piece. I think what I will be doing is making a dowel connection for the tops and making sure that is solid. I also have some metal plate pieces I could use under the tops to help that connection joint (though trying to avoid that).

OK... thought I would post a few shots of the actual desk I am building. I just got started on it again this weekend, after almost taking a year off on it :D

This first shot is one of the top pieces before finishing off the edges.

This next shot is the same top but the edges added in and the top sanded and ready to be stained.

Here is a shot of the other top piece before I sanded it down. I screwed up last year when I was working on the desk and started to stain one of the tops :bang head :bang head :bang head I have no idea what I was thinking because I hadn't even finished the edges...

Here is the one of the top pieces stained. I am using an oil based stain and it is taking way longer to dry than I expected. Also, on the piece that I stained last year it I will have to figure out some things as the stain also has a sealer in it too.

I plan on adding about 2 layers of polyurethane for the tops to protect them and give them a cleaner smoother finish. the stain here isn't dry yet and so looks a bit uneven in the shot. It does look better in real life :)

Here is the millwork piece that one side of the desk will rest on. I decided to paint the exposed surfaces to white so it will match the white shelving I have in my room.

Here is one more shot of the same millwork piece. I am using a 3/4" thick sand-ply for the "veneer" pieces. The sand-ply has a nice outer clean surface and is the same type of wood I made the desk tops out of. The shorter veneer piece creates the edge that the lower layer horizontal piece will rest on. I am planning on using a couple of small angles to secure this connection and will do the same at the other end.

I am pretty close to having all the components finished to take it back to my condo to assemble. All I have left is to apply the polyurethane to the tops and the lighter wood pieces (the veneer around the millwork and the lower layer part of the desk). I will have time hopefully tomorrow to do some of this but it is looking like next weekend when I have this thing completed and installed in its final resting place :) Stay tuned as I am trying to take as many pics as I can.

I refinished some furniture last year. It ended up being way more time consuming than I had envisioned. I had to sand down the existing finish and then stain it and seal it. I originally used regular polyurethane applied with a brush, but ended up with lots of brush strokes and an uneven finish. Of course I sanded between coats, but that only helped some. Then someone recommended Wipe On Poly (http://www.minwax.com/products/protective/wipe-on.cfm) and it worked great. It is self leveling and a perfect easy to do finish. Check it out.

Is that supposed to be a link? If so it isn't working, if not can you give us one?

So last weekend I finally got to finishing this desk. Following are a few shots of the install and how my desk sits now in my room.

I few comments about the experience and how the desk ended out in my opinion.

First here is the final Sketchup shot of how the desk was to look...

Here is a shot while I was installing the desk...

Another...

and one more... the good thing is putting in the new desk helped me to purge some stuff and clean up a little :)

Left part of the desk with the millwork I used and the underside. As it turns out I had some letter boxes that fit perfectly in this space, and it works out well as I planned on using the underside to keep papers to keep the desk top clean.

And finally a final shot of the desk... comments to come soon...

After finishing up my desk I wanted to share my thoughts on the final product. I think its an interesting thing how things differ in perception from design to reality sometimes. Its an interesting question to discuss maybe on another thread.

All in all I am happy with the desk and how it is functioning so far. It has been a big help in cleaning up my clutter I have been living with for well over 2 years now in my desk/work area. So from the functional aspect I am pretty happy with it. Also I am happy with the decision made to do the layering and the dual use of desk support and storage potential it has and is being used for from the start.

As far as how the desk turned out "look" wise I am a bit lukewarm about it. And I am sure that some of that is just because I built it and part of me wants to really like it :) (I do think my opinion would be slightly different if I was just seeing the desk if someone else had made it). In the end I got a top that is darker than I intended. I have a few places that I had to use brackets because I didn't think ahead in some of the connections and also because the shorter section of the top warped on me :(, so I had to anchor it down with an angle that is exposed too much (I may come back and fix that). I am happy with the actual finish of the top but just wish the color was a tad lighter.

I would love to hear from you guys on your thoughts of the desk and how it came out.

I like it. To me, it is very rewarding to see things like this come to life. I also understand being self critical about your work. How did the joint of the two top pieces turn out? What is the depth of the top and the shelf/supports on the side?

hey emow54... thanks for the comment... Yes it is nice to have built something and then to be using it (as I am typing right now on the desk :)).

As for the self critique... it is a good thing as it makes us think about our stuff and try seeing it from a neutral perspective. It is hard sometimes but I think as I get older I become better and better at it.

The joint where to two tops come together are connected with an angle and a strap on the backside of the top. Then I used a couple of dowels to help align the tops flush so that were they come together it is flush. The dowels really helped make that happen, though I could have done it with biscuits but I didn't want to pay $100 for a biscuit cutter for just this one job and maybe an occasional use.

The Top is 2 inches thick and the support piece on the end was originally designed for large prints/drawings/blueprints. I am planning on designing/making some storage units that will slide in several of the compartments.

Glad to see it finished, i wish more projects like this were followed through... I think richard had a cool desk idea a year +/- ago too... maybe we'll be lucky to see that one finished up too. Great looking desk, and i cant wait for this summer so i can get my workspace cleaned up too.

And finally a final shot of the desk... comments to come soon...

looking good. now all you need is an aeron to complement the desk...

btw, not to change the subject, but the large model hanging above the desk looks intriguing. Have you shared anything about that project? (nudge, nudge)

wizum, nice job. Interesting that we are seduced by the beauty/simplicity of design/model, until the thing is built - and scanner, paper, pens, trays etc all added....that's life!
And a 24 inch iMac would mean that you could get rid of computer clutter!

You haven't added the keyboard corner?

Nice outcome though - looks like a good workspace. of course the next one will be better now that you've designed and built one! And remember, you're the only person who sees "problems" with details or finishes as you've been so close to it for so long!

Hi Wizum
you finished it. well done!
I was impressed with some apsects of your craftsmanship and ambition - the veneering especially.
How is the L shape working for you? Personally I think L's are a bit of a waste of space and make the final desk look much bigger than it really is. I also agree with you that the dark colour isn't good, if it were me I would actually paint it white now, emulsion. (I know sacrelidge). I also think that because you have that ledge under the table the table surface could and should have been thinner (25mm would have been fine) now it looks unbalanced, like a big fat girl in stilletoes. I have a ledge under a couple of my tables (home made) but wouldn't do them again, I found them not that usefulk and end clogged with stuff, probably just me.
:cheers:

How is the L shape working for you? Personally I think L's are a bit of a waste of space and make the final desk look much bigger than it really is. :cheers:

I have to disagree with you here. In my opinion, the "L" shape allows you layout space when working with a set of plans. Although I understand where you are coming from.

No, no, no the aluminum group chair would look much better. You want the one with wheels though.

I personally like the dark top. I think some of the detailing is a little rough, but it looks pretty nice after you decorated around it. I like a linear desk rather than an "L" shape, but given the space you had that was the right way to go. Congratulations on getting it done.

No tdmc, I haven't finished off the keyboard corner. I was going to maybe do something different but I had made the decision earlier, not thinking about it fully, before I had thoughts of doing something different. So, I am locked-in on doing an extension pieces to complete the corner.

And just to let everyone down on the chair bit, I spent 40 USD on the cheapest black office chair I could find :D Just don't have the disposable income that apparently some of you have :)

PS Tim, that model is a study of my thesis design, and no I haven't posted it. It was pre sketchup and 3Dmodeling - all handdrawn and real models. Though you can check it out HERE (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wizum/collections/72157600084783296/) if your interested.

wizum...18 months ago when i started working from home, I used a "basic" chair - and didn't realise at the time, but was developing bad RSI or something - burning sensations in neck and shoulders - very bad. Spent up and bought a Mira chair (broke the bank) but it's paid off - great chair, comfortable (and safe) for all those hours spent at the desk.
So...just keep an eye on your "health", but good luck with the the $40 version!

That is actually a good point tdmc... I do have a nice office chair at work to rely on for those long hours at the desk... I only spend maybe an hour, on average, per day at my home desk, but I am sure those hours will catch up with me too one day :)

Hey congrats Scot, wouldn't you consider raising the printer and scanner on another surface, to clear desk space?
At my office I have the printer on a sidekick drawer under the desk (yours is higher though).

just moved a couple of steps closer to construction commencement - aiming for completion by Christmas, then I'll be working from this space :cheers:

Congrates tdmc... I know you are excited and can't wait to have this house done so you can finally enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Hey guys! I'm new around here, and I'm studying architecture. First semester, but anyways... Hehe
First I want to say that I loved that desk, by Wizum.

Second, I'd like to say that I also want to build a desk for my computer, but I have a few somewhat "odd" needs... For instance, I have a joystick and an USB driving wheel, and I'm really addicted to simulations (driving and flying ones). The joystick has to be on the right, and the wheel must be mounted in front of the monitor - right where the keyboard tends to be. lol

So I came up with an idea of a "moveable" keyboard support and all... Can I post the 3D model and ask for some opinions? :D

The problem is: I lost my pen drive recently and I still haven't remade the 3D model, which was lost with the pen drive.
And problem #2 is that I wasn't quite happy with the design I had at the time, the joystick was positioned too high...
Anyways, shall I try and remake the sketchup model and post it here?


Thank you all in advance, and congratulations for Wizum and TDMC for your projects. ;)

Sorry, double post. :S

shinobi,

I would suggest starting your own thread about your specific desk design. thanks for your kind words and I look forward to seeing how you design something with your stated challenges.

regards,

Why does your desk and shelve not line up or be made of the same piece of material, this would look a lot neater and be a better design?

good question. I intended to originally but I screwed up and bought the wrong stain and didn't realize this until I had already applied it. I had already spent more money than I wanted too at that point and just decided I would stick with what I had.

Actually, which shelves are you speaking of jazzy? The white ones of the ones above the desk?

Sorry this was in reply to tdmc's design, I had forgot to quote him!
