This was what this thread was reminding me of. Seemed a bit like a deja-vu

Dope result, spade! What where your final costs for the desk?

They could use some assistance with their translation however:

CLUB DELUXE
This workstation is what you need great DJ.

If you want DJ gear goes undetected choose, CLUB DELUXE finish .Your guests will not know what is inside of the workstation to not remove the cap that covers your DJ gear . Also save him from dust accumulation.
The bright hardened lacquer finish covers the workstation, does have a great view. Choose your favorite color to cover the MDF workstation.Cleaning finish is easy and always have a great look as the first day.It has an outlet for your audio cables and power in each of the supports of his workstation. This workstation is what you need great DJ.

I can imagine. High quality gear there. But a lot of fun I guess

haha i dont even want to talk about the final cost for the entire set up. oh well here goes
the table was about $200 by itself..... but the gear inside it computer, technics, mixer, moniter, amplifier, reciever, you know the whole thing, costed me around $6000. just the dj stuff in it wasnt too bad though i paid like $2250 for all of it. believeing about getting a different mixer though like a pioneer djm 900 nexus. and maybe a midi fighter 3d or one of those f1 things. havnt decided yet.

but ya ive been believeing about bouilding a laptop stand too but dont know if i want to build it or just be lazy and buy it. we will see. cant wait to see how yours turns out though!

spadenation, that is very similar to mine, i wish i had a space to put vinyl, also using body filler would have been ALOT quicker, i spent hours sanding that mdf.

im designing a laptop stand as we speak, will upload pictures when complete

Thanks for all your coments, it did take a lot of time to build but was worth it. a few people have said they want me to build another one for their own gear but to be honest the time it took would make it way too expensive to re-create for some one else to buy.

when i get it in my dj room and all setup i will update some new pics

Nice finish on there! Is it a flat black paint or a laminate? I'm still working to find a cheap curve. Someone suggested I take a piece of MDF and kerf it for the bend.

DONE IT EVENTUALLY!!!! HERE IS THE FINISHED ARTICLE

Had a house party saturday, and my first mix. it was amazing

I thought $150 seemed pricey...but the hollow centre would be nice to help run cables if I wanted to put them down a leg as you are doing. What ticked me off more was the original price he gave me was $225...and that was because he was charging me $25 each to do 3 cuts!

I paid 45 pounds for 1.2m length 6 inch square, it was poplar/tulip wood which is easy to sand and gives a good smooth finish when painted.

Found a carpenter willing to sell me a 8 inch round pole, hollow in the middle, 30 inch piece for $150 CDN. Could cut it in quarters for a nice 4x4 piece. Did you pay much for your piece?

True enough, but just moved into a new city into a condo, so access to my tools will be sketchy at best, need to get as many things pre-cut and planed as I can! Looking forward to more pics and awesome job Steeevo, thanks for there inspiration

You could do it yourself if you have a hand planer a sander and some elbow grease

i need to find a carpenter to get me some of those rounded pieces and i could tackle this!

A few more photos,

i had trouble getting the mixer in with all the wiring plugged in so had to router out a bit more of the top so i can get my hand up the back when the mixers in position

I used a router to cut a slot for the cables to come out of the leg
