Table, Desk or own construction???

[hymenoptera]

i'm currently in the middle of building a custom desk, and it's a blast, it's custom to my needs, maximizes the space i have, and probably saving me tons of money.

before i start work on this i had been a carpenter's help for about a year and didn't know much about woodworking. now i think i want keep going and build all of my racks and gear stands too.

if you've got the skills and the tools i vote for DIY.

d.i.y. if you have the skills and the right tools. even if it costs more, in the end you will have a product your happier with.


take the table in the mean time, plan out your set up and build your desk to reflect the best layout.

Thanks guys. I will take the table for now and see how it compares.

I don't have the DIY skills for a table (but i know a couple of people that do) so it will give me some time to do a bit more research.

Thanks again.

even if you had to pay someone to do it, the end result would be far superior then any off the shelf unit or kitchen table substitute.

just plan out a layout and measurements to give to the person who does it.
