i still miss the fuck out of the galant system

dunno why they got rid of it

was the best ikea desk system ever

and they discontinued it

also im pretty sure since im not modifying it so have that little uhhh, almost C shape near the bottom of it, It'll be 2 feet deep

werher you getting surface from?

or you making surface?

is it the galant megadesk? lol

I'm planning on buying it from the home depot i have across the street

ah

in that case sounds like a good idea

to be honest, if i had power tools when imoved, and a nearby ikea, i totally would have done this

but i'm nto complaining

90 bucks for a easy to build l desk

is like a god tier deal.

i found that when i searched for the galant system desk, the GALANT MEGADESK

lol

i had the bottom L portion of the galant for college

10/10 best desk

ever

i very much wanna do what they have there, where you have the part of the desk the keyboard / mouse, books etc are on, and then the shelf slightly above it

I'm pretty sure I could get away with it, since what im looking at is 3/4 inch 2 foot x 4 foot, I could just move up to the 4 foot x 8 foot, have it cut to 4x4 and then shave 1 foot off for each of the little shelves that would be above the part of the desk with my keyboard, I'd have a couple spare 1 foot x 4 foot pieces that I wouldn't know what to do with though

yeah, actually, one 4 foot x 8 foot is for some reason, cheaper than two 2 foot x 4 foot even though the 4 foot x 8 foot is twice the size of the two smaller ones put together...

could also buy particle board

and then get a surface to laminate/wood glue on top of it

then cut it

I was looking at MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is a bit sturdier, but basically the same thing

I'm worried about priming it, because i've heard if you use the wrong one you'll make it poof up cause of how it reacts to water.

oh yeah? in that case i have no idea, but I'd imagine wiht sufficient clamping, shouldnt' be an issue

i assume one quart will be over kill for a single desk, but $8 for a can of primer isn't too bad, between the MDF, legs, and primer I'm looking at about $60, and then I need the little stilt things for the shelf above the main desk, and I couldn't say what those would cost since I don't know what im looking for on that front yet

tiny padlock for 50p

looks incredibly flimsy

still gonna buy it though, for gym locker

I had an old desk, hated it so i painted it black chucked some Kmart Dinner plate mats on it, about 6, now it has that nice IKEA fake leather look

does anyone here have any experience with making power banks

IKEA still do bekant

That stuff is pretty dank too

I got a bekant corner desk recently
