Building myself a Studio Desk

[Metaltastic]

Looks great man, came out really well! Don't you find those monitors to be a bit narrowly spaced though?

Looks excellent. Throw some monitor stands behind it and you're done.

You know, this turned out a lot better than I expected. I still would prefer to have the racks on either side and space between them in the middle for the screen/control surface/midi keyboard/etc., but this isn't half bad! Get some monitor stands and you're set!

Chance to sneak a 2nd monitor onto that desk and then space the monitors out a lil more

Care to share plans

Well we didnt make any plans just a sketch. It is a 10rack unit. the top of the desk measure 70cm and the top of the monitor shelf measures 90cm, and with those numbers we got the angle of the rack units. the desk is about 105cm wide.


I'll post a picture when the monitors are on stands in a couple of days.

Good idea. May I recommend the Avantone mixcubes. Suitably "bass challenged" as they say.

Vesa mount?

 

[crillemannen]

Vesa mount?

What do you mean?? Any links??
I googled it, and it looks like ordinary wall mount kits etc. But the problem is that there is no screw holes at the back of the LG screen, or have i missed something??

cheers

Yeah, vesa mount. It's a universal standard mount should fit just about any LCD (I'm going to call it that so not to confuse the term monitor). Just search google for a vesa mount and the LCD model.

Usually covered by a plate that clips off or is under that actual stand. If you take the stand off you should see something like this:

if you don't then you're pretty unlucky, I can remember seeing too many LCDs without them.

This looks really slick! Love the wood you used for the extension with your keyboard and mouse.

Crappy mobile pictures, but this is how it look with the monitors on stands:

You know what I was thinking when you first posted? "Where the flying fuck is he going to put his feet/chair"

Makes more sense now.

How did you go about finishing it? I like the look of the black finish.

 

[drew_drummer]

Looks pretty sick to me.

 

[crillemannen]

thnks guys

Yeah i went with black finish with oak strips on the sides. I think the desk fits perfect with my oak floor, and the size of the desk is perfect for my small control room. and best of all.. i cant see any cables anymore
