So, I’ve got a HUGE list of projects that I want to make and a lot of times when I think about starting those projects, I think “it’d be easier if I had a _____”. Lately, a lot of my videos have been me taking the time to make the _____, so that I can actually get to the projects that I’ve been wanting to make. This video is also a _____.
Specifically, this is a desk in my office, not in my shop, for working on electronics, finishing 3D prints, and doing some smaller model & prop making. These are all things that I’ve done in the shop or at my computer desk but they’re also in the way. I finally decided to make a dedicated spot for them, and at the same time thought I’d use the desk as an excuse to start practicing my welding.
It’s been about 10 years since I did any real welding (restoring my 1962 Vespa) so I’m basically starting from scratch. I’m happy to report that starting from scratch isn’t actually that bad, and having this project done, I’m much more confident about using metal work in some more upcoming projects.
So let’s take a look at how I made this stool height/standing height desk.
