Just put the primer on the sheet of MDF for mine. Got the legs and assembled them, they're fucking solid as.

I'm going to paint my MDF black.
The drawers and top will probably be a dark stain.

Ditto. The stupid guy at Covers gave me double the amount of MDF that I paid for, quite funny. Havent a clue what I'm gonna do with the other bit though...

I built mine. It's a sort-of clone of this. Both side cabinets have shelves rather than rack arms.

Frame is a mix 1/4, 1/2, 3/4" MDF, 'pretty' tops are epoxy finished 1/2" maple ply.

I built a 72" x 30" table that's about 33" high to serve as a desk/workbench. I just used 2 x 4s and 3/4" plywood for a top. Sanded, stained, and varnished it. Used carriage bolts to put it together. Nothing fancy, but the fucker's bomb-proof.

Well I just bought most of the hardware for the desk. $300 later, still need to buy a few more things.

It's kinda messy, but oh well. I dont have the outlet adapter for my tv, so the xbox, ps2, and cable is all on the widescreen.

My desk is almost identical to that one. Except in the center I have a cubby hole with a monitor stand.

Nah, don't have the 6d pen.. Actually been too busy at work really to do much art

... I work as a LANDesk Administrator and my wife makes pretty good dough in the government.. so I can usually buy the toys I'd like to have..
