    That is some really beautiful wood you're working with there - seems to be coming along nicely!

    Do you do carpentry / woodworking as a job?

    I was wondering what you were planning on doing as far as running the cables for the lights above your monitors, are you going to hide them somehow, or run them along the top?

    Thankyou very much, I've also been watching your desk build, I love the idea of the glass window on the top so you can see the computer.

    I recently just finished high school and I never did any woodwork courses, However with this build I've been getting my grandfather to help me as he did wood working for a hobby for many years. So I'm learning alot off him.


    As far as running the cables for the lights goes -
    They will be run up behind the support piece, So all hidden.

    Just been testing out some finishes on scrap pieces.





    As of now I'm thinking of going with just danish oil.

    Note: the piece with shellac on it is naturally a lighter color piece of wood than the other.

    The danish oil has my vote. Very rich color.

    Yep. Danish oil all the way. How can you go wrong when there's a donut-like pastry by the same name? (seriously though, the wood looks gorgeous with that oil on there).

    Been quite busy (read lazy) the past few days, But today I got a little bit more done.

    We started with cutting more lengths for the second desk (the bigger one) and putting those bits through the thicknesser to clean them up and turn them into something workable.



    And to give you guys an idea of the 2 desk sizes, a comparison pic.



    Still 2 more to go on that second one, Just didn't put them up cause then you wouldn't see the smaller desk.



    I will try to get another update tomorrow, I should be starting to glue all those top bits together.

    EDIT: Also, If anyone cares, A few days before Christmas I finally finished building my Antec 1200, After I had been planning it and buying some parts since 2009.

    A non-picture update.

    Didn't end up getting those glued up, But instead we gathered all the red gum of the size we are using and cut every single piece (all cut to size) we need to finish this (bar the doors), And I tell you what, It was a crap load of wood.

    So now I'm all out of red gum in the big size, But have have some thinner lengths that I can use for the doors.

    Stay tuned, I'll get back into building it on Monday (I work weekends) and should have an update then.

    D*mn! That looks good! And very sturdy looking too! I was actually just wondering about your desk earlier today, glad to see an update. Are those 1" thick pieces?
