Day 36 - Oh right forgot to add this. But before I even started the gluing of the outer legs, I had to put the razer logo's on! So I took the 4 bolts and put them in through the back, the put the washer's on, then the acrylic, then the metal logo's! It wasn't simple at all like that. I ended up having to make the holes in the acrylic bigger, then had to grind down the bolt's multiple times so they wouldn't ground out on the inner of the metal logo before everything was tight, and then I had to make sure everything was lined up properly and tight. My biggest biggest regret of this desk was the way I put these logo's on. Ill get more into next update but I should have made it so I could have taken them off and one while the desk was put together. For anyone who is making a desk like this with logo's on the outside, I can't stress enough how much of a pain in the rear end it was. But enough of me, picture time!

I can't even motivate myself to build the basic desk design I've been wanting to do for a while, but this.. takes so much effort I couldn't ever pull it off :P

Day 37 - So for the next few days I spent all of them assembling and gluing the desk together. Since no one else was able to help me with the gluing I just ended up doing it myself smile.gif It is a big job for 1 person especially when you have to make sure it is all lined up, then you have to spread the glue, then make sure the cables are out of the way when you stick it on, then make sure it is all aligned again, then put cloths around the area's you are going to clamp so you don't damage the paint, then clamp and finally quickly grab a rag so you don't get to much spillage from the extra glue. So here we go! Sorry for not having that many picture's of the process. I was a little busy with other things tongue.gif

Day 38 - After I had let the leg's dry overnight, I started to assemble the remained of the desk! Since the leg's are going to be holding about ~100lbs of equipment, I thought I would make sure they were 100% dry before starting the next process tongue.gif Before I even started to work on gluing the rest of the desk I had to finish making the last modification's to the back panel for the 3 x displayport and 3 x power cables to pass through biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

After that was all done I started with gluing the bottom panel on first, the right away adding the back panel on to make sure that the desk lined up perfectly. If I just put the bottom panel on with out the back their wouldn't have been any way for me to have made sure it was all lined up.

Day 38 - But after everything going fairly smoothly, I ran into a bit of a hickup.
250_zpsaeqcf1kx.jpg

I am not to sure how that happened, I didn't test fit's and everything before but anyway, the board was sitting proud about an 1/8". Since it was already glued I couldn't really just take it off and redo it. Once the glue had dried completely, I took out my router, a long piece of wood, and then made it so that when the side of the cutter hit where i wanted it to I just clamped the wood underneath it so it would make a straight and even line side to side. Doing this enabled me to just run the router down the back of the back piece and trim off the extra bit of wood!

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted an update in a while. But now that I have a bit of free time, thought I would give everyone an update!!

Day 41 - So now that I had the desk all together, I had to get back to thinking about what I am going to do about the stand for the monitor's. It had to be Strong, not bulky, take up little desk space, allow for cables to managed nicely, and of course look good. So after many hours I give you this!! I designed it so that I could glue it onto the back of the desk, use lots of body filler and sand it down to look like it is actually part of the desk. I think I am pretty happy with the way it turned out!
