It took about 4 months or so, but I've finished the woodworking on my computer desk. The only left on this project is to install the stained glass panel for the door, but it isn't done yet. (mother-in-law is slacking!) ;-)
Construction details,
It is a pedastal desk, bolted together for easy removal, with figure 8 fasteners for the top. The top is ply wrapped in solid oak. The support frame in the middle and the lower stretcher are loose M&T. The pedastals are face framed cabinets using dust frames in dados, and a rabbetted back. The slide out writting surfaces required the most engineering. They have a 1/32" gap in which to slide, they use the glide tape that I got from rockler on all sides inside the cabinet to help prevent wear. The drawer fronts, writting surface fronts, and front of the keyboard tray are all curly maple, the door is rock maple with glass panel retainers.
Let me know what you all think, so far I'm loving having a nice desk on which to write code. BTW, that's the wife in her "jammy pants", bumming on a sunday morning.
