While it isn’t really anything ridiculous, it’s very special because it meets exactly my needs. It fits every electronic I want, and provides my with plenty of storage for trinkets, more electronics, and papers. In addition, it has ample desk space, with a place to push my keyboard and mouse under the monitors when I find myself needing more space still.

While these plans remain far from final, they represent the desk at it’s most basic requirements. I still need to consider technical aspects and design choices for the desk. During its two plus year stay at Penn State, it will undoubtedly take a beating from myself and my housemates.

As far as materials go, I haven’t even decided what kind of wood I will be making this out of. While I would love to make the entire thing out of figured maple, I feel this to be unreasonable. Maybe my personal wood expert will have a suggestion besides oak.
