That thing looks HUGE!!! What is the width on that desK?
Still, as big as it is, it looks great Fred! It looks like you used shelving standards, is that correct?
__________________ Wife changed my perspective.  I need want some additional tools. I need want a
multi-spindle line borer - Found one!!!! Could I? Should I? Do I????
pocket hole machine - unlikely in 2008
Festool sander and vacuum -told I don't need 2 not going to happen
Edge bander - unlikely this decade
oscillating edge sander - unlikely in 2008
floor model chisel or slot mortiser - unlikely in 2008
and a bigger shop - maybe in 2009 | |

I added some cleats to the inside of the outer uprights. the uprights overlap the side by 7/8" so the cleats are mostly invisible. I added some screws to these to fasten it to the desk top. when finished its all one piece.it rocks a little but its sitting on carpet with thick pad. it will settle down in a few days. its heavy enough that it aint fallin over! LOML has it mostly full already. imagine that! | |
