How to build my own L-shape desk?

I love L-shape desks and I want to build my own one from Ikea. I read the tutorial "The easy option for a computer desk" (http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/63380-the-easy-option-for-a-computer-desk/). But I want to build an L-shaped desk and simply putting two desks together does NOT work since there will be desk legs in the center... Any thoughts?

Yeah, I prefer Amazon or similar website since they can ship directly to your house.

Im assuming this is the gallant series ( Id get the black) This seems to be what you get. Then the more oak looking one seems to be some extensions you can get. If I can find a similar desk this would be amazing.

you can use my plan as a template if you wish. Other wise you can make an L shaped table using IKEA table tops with this guide.

 

which I'm sure you already saw since you posted in it.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S09006390/#/S29006394 Youd have to order it online through them or drive out to one which to me is over 2hours lol. They have right and left varients and a few color optins

Also it looks fairly simple to buy 2 of them and hook them together to make a U Shaped desk or a wider U Kindda like (__) You get what I mean.

They seem to be very expensive, haha. Where can I get the other left and right extension desks?

read post above, plus they seem fairly cheap from most corner desk I've seen. IKEA is suppose to be pretty good, I spen $350 on my corner desk and it's horrible.

Find a drill bit that makes it so you have to apply a little pressure to get these in, make sure you do something like every 5 inches, put them every other way in the desk,mthey every other way on the other desk, and connect them. Bam
