This desk is made of solid walnut from one of the local lumber yards
.Magnificent wood totally natural [not steamed] and very reasonably
priced.
Yhe whole yard is run by a bunch of good old rednecks, absolutely super
people. the right hand drawer bank looks like three drawers but is
actually
two. All files are legal size. I used "butlers tray" hinges for thr
keyboard
drawer drawerfront flip down ....mjh


Absolutely beautiful Your own design?

Absolutely beautiful!

I'm humbled. Maybe some day (decades from now) I'll have the skills for
that.

Have you decided what color to paint it?

Now why would you want to go and ruin all his nice woodworking effort
with a color like THAT?

Very nice. I like the false drawer fronts for the left door. Had me
fooled there for a moment looking at the side extension wondering how
useful that top left drawer was going to be. :-)

I really like your desk, especially the keyholes in each drawer, the bright
hardware looks good with the dark wood.

Did you mean the drawer under the RIGHT slide,

No, I meant the left side, the false front momentarily got me as the first
picture I saw was the closed door with the side table attached.

Did you mean the drawer under the RIGHT slide, if so it is fully
functional.Included are additional shots of that area. The small slide pull
is not installed I found a way of installing it above the pencil drawer
which is the same depth as the other pencil drawers and the keyboard drawer.
Also shown is a view of the file drawer .Initially I intended making having
all the files laterally but that ended up with a very wide pedestal ,so I
ended up with them loaded back to front with the remainder of the drawer
geared for regular files [of which there were a few].

Boy! I'll bet your momma is sure proud of you!
That's a beaute!

Would it be possible to get more details about the CNC machine I see
in the background of one of your pictures? I'm in the process of
collecting parts to make one and I'm interested in your experience
with yours.

TIA

I built my machine last winter,most of the parts were obtained from ebay and
home depot. Check out CNCzone.com there is a whole group of of most helpful
people. The machine I built is "joes 2006 machine" if you follow that
through there are drawings available and even a parts list and following the
posts inexpensive sources are dis cussed. For the controller check out
hobbycnc I built their 4axis system .As far as software goes I got the
cheapest icould afford around 4300 total for "mach3" and "sheetcam" mjh
