Desk building

So I'm tasked with building a desk for my church's new mixer location. With the renovations we (band) decided to move the mixer location into the balcony where the sound is better and the operator can see the band. The desk is highly customized to fit curved railings and to hold the equipment. I used google sketchup to create the drawings based on measurements I took since I don't have the luxury to measure on the fly like I normally do and it needs to be accurate because I really only get one shot.

The idea behind the desk is simple, flat top to hold up to a 24ch mixer and a cabinet for the rack/amp and what not.The idea behind this is to hold the mixer so that it can have a cover to prevent tampering by little hands (lots of kids) and to hold a few laptops for recording/projector. Inside the well ventilated cabinet will house the conditioner/effects/compressor/amp and other components. It's a large L shaped cabinet to work with the existing railing and the post.

After going to my local Home Depot I got the supplies and wood stock (solid pine) to start building. I got most of the cabinet done to date but need to glue some pieces together since the larger surfaces exceeded the wood sizes. So far I've only used my table saw to make the rectangle pieces. Once everything is dry-fitted together to make sure it works I will begin bonding the components. The desk (mixer area) will be removable so it can be transported but most of this wont have screws to enhance the aesthetics. I may end up getting a finish nailer to help with the difficult areas since I have a compressor handy (plus it will also be useful when I redo my floor). As soon as everything is together and bonded it will be time to take out the router and round the edges and then stain+seal everything which will probably take the longest. I should take pictures as I get further along.

As for all the saw dust I'm collecting I may try to create my own fire log(s) :) Add a little water in a box and compress the pulp.
