So, I took a break from messing with the Camry

Recommended Posts

Didn't find a category for this but it is somewhat a build log and there are no guidelines that say it has to be about car audio. peepwall.gif

So, I took a break from messing with the Camry for about 1 week or so....

This is what kept my time...Let me know what you guys think...

This was the original desk, second-hand but looks like it was maybe from Kmart or Staples...

Notice the bow in the center? The desk was perfect for about 1.5yrs and I'm assuming the "compressed wood" could not handle the weight of my desk mount arm for my 24" monitor:

Put some black trimon that bish

Was actually thinking of doing that... Sadly after doing the whole project I feel like I want the shelves to be thicker... So I MAY re-do this in 3/4" birch or just add another layer of 1/2" birch and glue to bottom and stain... Not sure yet... We'll see how it plays out.

Get some solid birch and use it for trim and you can run a brace(s) under the bottom. It gets you a finished look and structural integrity all in one shot.

I was thinking of bracing as to not have the same issue as before..... Good idea

Thanks, yea, I may just get 1/2 birch and glue them together OR I will go with Tire's idea and put a post/brace from a birch board or maybe even use like 1" shelving as a leg and L-bracket that biatch!
