Building my own desk

kondork

Hey guys, for start - i'm not a carpenter and not good at english :D so:

I want to build my own desk for PC, as a student (person who has to move out from appartment every year) it is inconvenient for me to have typical L desk as I have now:

So there are few things i want to have in my new desk:

- In some of my new appartments it would be better if the L shape was not or the right but on the left, that is why it would be better if it was 'convertable'
- wooden legs pisses me off, because i have not so wide hole for my legs in the middle of the desk - i often put annother hair in front of this one so i can have straight legs laying on it (more comfortably position)

 

 

1. So I came up with something like this - but without this center beam in the middle of the height (my photoshop skills are low so pls use your imagination)

2. These are legs with one screw in the middle to keep it together

3.  Also you could on the legs hold your PC not to keep it on the desk as i have now. Why i came up with this idea is i dont want to keep it on the floor (easier to clean)

4. As i said before the L shape would be convertable on the left or on the right. I'll use good metal support for this so it`d stay stady.

5. The legs to the top would be attached from the center of the legs to the top, something like this:

In conclusion - the frame would be all metal, only the top would be wooden. Give me all your suggestions, i'm open to criticism :)

It can be assembled and designed and customized by you :)

Unless you have a bunch of tools and a workshop (which I assume you don't since you're in an apartment) it's going to be very hard to make one from scratch.
