Pardon the messy workroom

For this project, I used 2 8' 2x4 studs, the equivalent of 2 4x4s (I scored some workbench legs at a garage sale) and a solid core unfinished mahogany door.

I cut one end off of the door, so I ended up with I ended up with a 65" by 32" slab.

Here it is, after a coat of stain, alongside the other finished pieces.

Work in progress- Thank god for the building loaning me their tools (seriously?!? 2 DeWalts?) Also, random maintenance person belly.

In case of emergency, this fucker will also function as a bomb shelter. I weigh over 250lbs(ya I know, I'm doing something about it) and I can jump up and down on it and shake it. It barely moves.

Overbuilding FTW! Nice job. I'm lucky if I can drive a nail straight.

Thanks! No nails in this build, though. All galvanized 2.5" screws.

Damn I wish I could accidentally some E28 repairs as easily as you accidentally'd a desk. Very nice.

I'm missing the "accidentally" part, unless you mean you accidentally built 3 desks into the volume of space normally occupied by only one desk.

Oh, I get it now (slow due to flu). Thanks! It took me from 12-30 to 1-2, so it better be heavy duty. I'm one of those people who builds Adirondack chairs for fun.
