I just wanted to give a big tanks to everyonewho posted andset me on the right course. I'm getting a friend of mineto bild me the console, so I've bee scouting out on "Studios Under Construction" as well as some of the pro desks on websites so I can get exactly what I want to work with.

Again, thanks

Brian, check out http://www.customconsoles.com/. I'm looking at their products for ideas, even if I don't order something from them.

Holy SHIT!

I've been in the wrong business all this time!
I can build these things all day long with the right tools.
I used to build custom Kitchens in multimillion dolar homes.
Let's put it this way, I built and installed a kitchen that had $30,000 dollars worth of Baltic Birch plywood in it! These people had a fucking WALK IN FREEZER in their Kitchen!

So, If my work was good enough for them (Can we say $7.5 Million dollar home) It would sure as hell be good enough for Studios!


I'm going to have to seriously look into this.

Hey AUSROCK,
Do you think you could draw up a pattern and post it here? I probably have a little less wood working experience than you do, but with proper patterns and supply listings, not to mention what tools you used, I could probably do something like that and I would love it. Maybe even think about asking Dragon to post the pattern on the main page...if you are willing to "opensource" your plan.

I could.......but I cant.
The only "plans" for my desk where in my head........a lot of it was worked out during the making, so to draw up accurate plans would require quite a few hours and dismantling ALL my set up.

At the moment I'm flat out trying to keep the wife onside by redecorating a fair chunk of our house.......painting, new light fittings, laying 50sq.mtrs of parquetry.....blah, blah. All so I can then justify spending more money downstairs in the studio.

Sorry........ChrisO

LOL! I am unable to begin construction on the studio until I finish the crown moulding upstairs, then the bookcase etc... Ahhh... life.

Cheers
Kevin.

I thought I might post my "desk" for those who are intimidated by a more "upscale" design. It's nothing if not functional...

I Wish!!
I know how to build it, in the sense that I can build a pro desk-but I no longer have the tools. I got out of the cabinet business in the early 90's.

It's a completely mobile setup.
