DM4800 Studio Desk

[Juzz]

I don't have one but I've heard one. It sounded very nice from what I recall.

Lovely build! Has anyone else had a go at building their own furniture? It's something I'd like to do one day. If anyone has any drawings/measurements I'd love to see them!

Yep. Built the entire studio myself - walls, acoustics, clouds. And the desk too.
Saved a heap of money and got exactly what I wanted.

That's an older shot; the video monitor, nearfield placement, and some outboard has changed since.

Yup, I did my own environment. So customised that I'll have a problem if ever I should decide to use a different mixer...

Arjan - Yeah man - I love it!

Here is my custom build.

Its changed a bit since these photos as I have added heaps of rack gear. Got some before and after pics in there also so you can see initial construction. It was a fun project and well worth the time to have a one off build. But it does consume your time for while...I found planing was the key - Success is the residue of preparation!

I think I have more photos on my site www.qualifiedsound.co.nz.

Nice Studio Arjan! Thanks for sharing the video.

Are those some new pics of your desk Gary? You're right on with the planning. I spent about 40 hours doing a 3D model of my desk. I've uploaded some plans of the build.

 

[GaryJackson]

No, Ive been lazy and haven't done any new pics, I should since I have more gear in it but just keeps slipping my mind. Good 3D models there. They really help in figuring out what you want to do etc.

 

[percyt]

Juzz that looks great! Did you use CAD for the 3D model? Would you be willing to share the file if so?

 

[Juzz]

Believe it or not I used Google Sketchup. I'd prefer not to share my model as I may be doing some custom builds for people plus I spent a lot of time creating it. Sorry.

 

[percyt]

Fair enough! I had a look at sketch up. Seems fairly easy to use! Infact I just used it to build a cabinet for my reel to reel! So thanks Juzz!
