It's been a while! I had just changed positions and locations at my job (well, at least coming up in a month) and the best part is it shaves 3 plus hours off my daily commute! This gives me my time back I lost 10 years ago to continue doing what I love! Building Cases!
 
Today I have a project on a larger scale....I'm building a U-shaped desk with two builds in it! Because? The wife is sick of looking at my three (all different) desks in my office with 3 different builds! This desk will contain two of my current builds....no new fancy expensive components (can't afford them) just a nice clean looking office and desk layout! I'll show before and after pics when the project is completed. The design is about 70% completed and it should start taking shape over the next few weeks!
 
Specs:

•  Size: 11 feet wide x 7 feet deep with matching shelves (1 foot wide) wall mounted. The desk top is 24" deep
• Cost: I'm thinking around $1,300.00 to build
• 8020 Aluminum Extrusion in the 2525 MM size at various lengths
• Acrylic 1/4" thick, matte black, clear
• MDF Board at 3/4" & 1/4" thick wrapped in faux black wood vinyl wrap

 
 
Here is the design:

Yes! Finally!

Looks like plenty of room for multiple projects? 

Wow 1year past!!!! I changed some of the design..... well, all of it!!! It's been a hectic year trying to get this desk/case built and I finally figured out what was best to make it work!
 
The desk is 6ft tall x 26" deep x 7ft 4" wide. I'm still playing around with the integrated case design that will be placed on the right side.
 
Here is the new updated SketchUp drawings:
 

Here is progress on the desk over the past two weeks now that I figured out what I'm doing! Next steps are designing the case, which is about 50% complete!
 
Materials:
 

• 80/20 Aluminum extrusion 25mm (1 foot, 2 foot, 5 foot, and 6 foot pieces)
• Rubbermaid Black 12" shelving from Home Depot
• M6 hex nut screws, t-nuts, 25/25 inside corner braces, 80/20 end fittings
• Case material will be acrylic

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Oh this is going to be fun to watch, seeing it grow. :o 

Awesome. What program did you use for the drawings?

I'd kill for a custom desk like this!! Looks awesome!!
