Computer Desk
This desk is a project that I made for myself, I had previously been working off of an old (and very small) shaky desk I received for free. I wanted to build something industrial looking and very sturdy. It is constructed with 1 1/2” black iron pipe, 1 3/8” thick Birch block counter top segments, with a bottom mounted maple box for cable management, and a bottom mounted Birch shelf for a PC. This is a very large and heavy desk measuring 3’ x 6’ and weighing nearly 200 pounds, in the future I will likely build an upgraded, more elegant computer desk, and retire this one to be used as a heavy duty workshop bench.
Assembling pipe and fittings for desk legs
Counter top segment cut to the size I wanted (3' x 6') and legs attached
Adding topcoats of high gloss polyurethane finish. In the end I decided to scuff this up a bit for a less glossy and rougher look

Shelf attached and stainless steel pipe flange mounted to desktop to route cables underdesk
