Design me a desk?

[mbryant]

I NEEEED a new desk for when my gf and I move out, on my current desk which is about 24" deep and 48" wide I have well a crap load of things, I like a tidy desk with a lot of room, things I plan to always have on the surface are my blue yeti, my 34" ultrawide as well as my 27" 16:9 (which is on an arm ATM), a picture of my niece, my gf's drawing tablet, keyboard and mouse (duh) a pen cup and my wallet, keys and phone are generally on it when I'm home. So if some of you folks are skilled in sketchup I'd appreciate a mock up of possible lay outs or design.

Or learn how to use sketchup.

I know that this mightjoin them together with some drawers (to replace legs) and use some legs be irrelevant or not helpful or whatever, but cant you just stick like 2 tabletops from Ikea together and use legs or cabinets to hold them up?

Edit: Trying not to come off as a jerk. It was just a suggestion.

I do and I've tried, I'm no designer and I hate all of the ideas I come up with, thanks for making me feel dumb, cheers

ikea was and is the plan, I just wanted like a "cool" looking desk, which I guess is a strange request. I was going to use one drawer/cabinet for one side (or both) and then legs on the other. 

 

EDIT: you didn't come off as a jerk nor did I interpret it as such

Oh ok. That makes a lot of sense and thanks

This one was designed for audio production but I like it. I do video editing https://www.gearslutz.com/board/attachments/so-much-gear-so-little-time/381414d1390422795-desks-studio-furniture-best-bets-custom-dean-desk-.jpg

May I? I mean... it's doesn't violate any copyright or anything right? I  was looking for a desk too and yours look like just what I need (with minor "plus" here and there of course)

Sure, by all means, you can use that picture any way you want.

Thank you all, unlike KRImSIN you have actually been helpful instead of rude. Also really like the design flexluthor

No need to linger on it. That makes you a jerk as well.

do you know much about design? I can't think of the right word, are you a "handy man" is sort of what I mean. I might want to see if that shelf could be divided into 3 sections with the left and right ones can rotate off to an angle (maybe on rails or something) I'd like my setup to be modular in a way because I like to change it from time to time

Unfortunately no, I only did the design in Maya and had my personal carpenter cut and assemble the plyboard to create the table (that's how incompetent I am in assembling it myself).

@zombiepixel posted a build log of a desk he's building (I already got permission to borrow the design )

 

Project Unstable Table Label Cable Fable

 

You can get inspiration from that and just tweak it a bit (longer tabletop, additional shelving, and w.e). The 1st post has a ref image of the possible finished product for an idea.

I built a desk in one evening on a whim out of seven wood studs and a mitre saw. Not the most stable thing in the world but it works.

 

I use the Bob Ross method, I just build it "From muh heart".

Use yo' imagination, bruh.

I've dreamed of a desk and it's turning out to be everything I've hoped for.
