Today I'm building an awesome desk for editing videos or playing your favorite games. When I set out to build this desk, I knew that I wanted absolutely no wires showing when it was all said and done. This was extra challenging considering the slim, sleek look of this desk. I started out by designing the frame, made of solid oak for the strongest structure possible. Next up, I added false fronts to get the look of drawers without losing any space for cable management. I finished the oak with 3 coats of satin black polyshades to get a smooth finish. I Then moved onto the 3/4" melamine top, where I drilled 2" holes for each of my monitors and 1" holes for my speakers. This allows the cables to show as little as possible, which gives the desk a much cleaner look. On the inner sheet of melamine, I drilled a 2" hole on each end to allow my computer to be placed on whichever side I would like. Once I brought everything together, my desk was complete!
