I completed the major portion of the upper desk cabinet yesterday. This
morning my wife and I brought the monster into the house and placed it
on the desk. we did this at this stage mostly to insure that the unit
would actually negotiate the double doors entering into the office. I
wanted to do this before proceeding and finding out it just would not
fit. ;~)

The design strongly relies on the strength of the 4, 3 1/2" oak rails
that span the 90+ inches. The method used to test for SAG shown below
is tried and true for me. I believe that there should be no noticeable
future sag.

Below is the test fit on top of the desk. I still have quite a bit to
do, add doors, cabinet backs, varnish on the outer surface of the front
and back face frame, add feet to secure the unit to the desk top, a
cubby unit to house 9 in/out drawers in the middle, the center arch
trim to match the doors, and the top trim.

Judging by the picture, your pants seem to fit just fine. As for the
future, we all sag eventually.

In the interest of photographic interest you should have let your wife
do the sag test. ;)

Just ask Swingman.

Well sir, I am going to throw out the old "sagulator" program.

I have a new benchmark.

I wasn't ready for that pic, but just about knocked my laptop off my
lap I was laughing so hard!

Desk looks great, Leon. And we know for sure it will hold up a couple
of machines, right? ;^)
