I got a bit more done on this today. It's a bit of an unusual one as the corner it is going into is tight and close to a radiator so to save space I designed it with a slide out printer/speaker unit.
It's almost ready for a finish now, might get that done tomorrow...with luck.

Allan, that looks good.
The slides are heavy duty for that weight?
What finish are you going to apply?
Cheers

Thanks Phil. Yes the runners are rated at 50 kg. I shall be putting a clear 2K finish on it.

Perhaps it will come clearer when you've finished, but where do you sit at it?

In the last shot that is the front. The slide out has to be in the out position to make room for your legs.

Ok thanks Allan - I'm sure those runners are strong enough but my pull out drawers have small castors too? But I see you've no room for any on yours?

Hi Alan
Looks good, what finish is going on it? Just a quick question, did you consider the weight on the pull out side once the printer and speaker in in situ so that it won't tip over to the heaver side. As some printers are right heavy
Life is always giving you a second chance, it's called tomorrow.

With the weight of this desk there is no way it is going to tip over under the weight of the printer/speaker box. There is a lot of solid Oak in there.
I am using clear 2K for the finish in a 20% sheen.

Nice as always Alan
I'm struggling to picture the 'tight and close to a radiator' that you mention. How does that look? I can't see how the design helps with that, but I'm clearly missing something.
