Paslis Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi all , My name is Pascal and im from the Netherlands and im a welder/metalworker for 22 years now. Many woman dont like a pc in the livingroom so i was thinking about a good solution to make a desktop that looks like it belongs in a livingroom.I came up with the idea to make a desk.After using the version 1 there were some things to improve so i decided to make a second version of my desk.This is the first time that i made a build log. Here some pictures of version 1 it was finisht 18-06-2010 So here is my build log for the second version.Im making my whole scratch build at my work using all the machines there. The drawings atleast a few of them.The rest i made with the software of the lasercutter. And a custom reservoir.

Frame for the desk made out of stainless steel. Cutting the desk I made a movie of the lasercutter while cutting my backpanel. Welding the desk. Making the custom reservoir. I made a movie while leak testing. Mobo tray,reservoir tray and fancovers. Rad covers. The gas springs and the frame for the window. Drilling holes in the glass window. Back panel with Desk Art bookmarks. Custom made reservoir on the reservoir tray with uv lights. This is how the desk looks now. More to come.

Paslis Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Today i finisht the window section. The edge cut from 3mm stainless steel for the attachment of the glass. The glass is 6mm thick so I cut strips of 6mm thick and put the edge on it. I then welded the edge with welds of about 5mm and then it was time for coffee. Everything ready to fit. Everything fits perfect so this section is finisht. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenkieNL Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Excellent work man, but tell me; how did you calculate what size of those pneumatic cilinders to hold up the lid ? Love that lasercutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
