Building the impossible DJ deckstand
Building the impossible DJ deckstand Posted on: 04.12.2011 by Keli Muennink Well some of you may remember i started this thread in djf but thought id start again on here seems as its all gone now.i want to build this: [IMG][/IMG] I have never made anything like this before and have little woodworking skills but im up for a challenge. will update with pictures of my progress shortly. | |
| Nella Libin 08.12.2011 | Bleaurgh... A Roadie. Darkside you are! THIS is the only way to fly! ( Only joking, and sweet ride btw ) |
| Suzanna Paddock 08.12.2011 | hmmm... I was believeing more of channeling all the cables inside the tabletop. But if you do end up doing the top thing make sure to get a cable management finishing ring that they use for office desks. You can probably find those at your local cabinetry hardware store. might even have some nice nickel finished ones. Just get em first so you know what size hole to drill. |
| Keli Muennink 08.12.2011 | Exactly what im planning on doing, i have to hollow out some of the tulip wood tho and cut a hole in the table top |
| Suzanna Paddock 07.12.2011 | If those legs are staying hollow why not pass some cables through them? |
| Keli Muennink 07.12.2011 | Here is one of the finished legs And this is the top. clamped and waiting for the glue to dry, and my bike. |
| Kristofer Krauel 06.12.2011 | Looking forward to the pics mate!! If you pull this off i reckon I'm gonna be convinced to try it myself!!! |
| Keli Muennink 06.12.2011 | Got it from a local carpenter, its poplar/tulip wood 5"x5" what you said is basically the way im making it, you will see when i upload the next pics |
| Kristofer Krauel 06.12.2011 | Where did you get that piece for the curve? For strength couldn't you make a third piece similar to the legs but place that on its side across the top? That way you have your top ready made to sink in your gear and its just that little bit mor sturdy. **reading that back, its difficult to put what i mean in to words. sorry** |
| robin loo 06.12.2011 | looks awesome.. keep posting your progress! |
| Keli Muennink 06.12.2011 | Here is the lovely piece of wood i have to get a smooooth curve on |
| Keli Muennink 06.12.2011 | the only place im stuck at is deciding whether to have it as one solid piece or 3 pieces. any suggestions? |
| Loralee Erban 06.12.2011 | Looks like your doing ok then if you need a hand just message me |
| Carmelia Biven 05.12.2011 | Looks cool man, excited to see finished product. |
| Yong Aptekar 05.12.2011 | That's pretty cool! I would throw some supports along the length though. The weight of everything may sag the middle. Nothing major though, a strip of that thick mdf on each side would probably be enough. |
| Keli Muennink 05.12.2011 | Ok i will have a look see if i can find it. here is the initial drawing i made when i thought up doing this. |
| Yong Aptekar 05.12.2011 | Look around here, I believe one of the other members has made the exact same thing, and documented the process. Sick idea though, I love the flush mount |
| Keli Muennink 05.12.2011 | Thanks for the offer but i have started to build this already, here is one of the legs using 1"mdf and using biscuits/glue to join it all together. then i laminated a block of four bits of mdf to give me a thickness for a 6" leg. glued and clamped. |
| Karena Jethwa 04.12.2011 | do it anyway man! i'd love some plans to have a crack at it too. 900mm high, 1850 long and 800 wide |
| Loralee Erban 04.12.2011 | Something like that really wouldnt be too hard to make... I recommend building the structure out of mdf then getting sticky back veneer, if you need i could mock up a plan on sketchup of how I would make it up once you provide dimensions. Experience : master carpenter and joiner. |

| Brunilda Kora 04.12.2011 | That's a nice looking table - but why the flush mounted decks/mixer? |
