I’ve been thinking about making a computer desk for my laptop for a long time, and finally got it going the last two days. I’m glad it is done and ready to go! It will be nice to have it all set up and working properly for the future! Here are some pictures of the building process!

Here are the parts after cutting and grinding, ready to go! -
All the frames are welded together! -

I wanted to incorporate the swivel stool of my welding table to get more use out of it! Welding the hinge bottoms in place! -
A closeup of the hinges! -
Getting ready to mount a back panel to the desk frame. -
Pilot drilling the bolt locations into the plate and the frame at the same time. -
TIG welded the flange nuts in place. -
Drilling the holes bigger for the bolts. -
Here is the completed desk. The back plate is 3/16 steel, and the horizontal pieces are all 1/4″ thick steel, to be heavy enough to counter balance my weight on the swivel stool. It’s working! -
