Building My Kid's a Dream Gaming Desk

What happens here

The creator discusses the project, noting his son's passion for video gaming. He outlines the plan to build an 'ultimate gaming desk' with two tiers: a main desk surface and an elevated monitor stand. The primary material chosen is 3/4 inch acacia wood, which is a hardwood laminated together, available at stores like Home Depot and Lowe's for approximately $160 per sheet, presenting a more affordable alternative to gluing individual wood pieces. The planned dimensions for the main desk are 54 inches wide with a standard height of 29.5 inches. The side profile legs will be 6 inches wide.

Goal: This step involves determining the desk's dimensions and acquiring the necessary acacia wood butcher block material, emphasizing cost-effective alternatives for the wood.

Tools and materials

  • Acacia Wood Butcher Block
  • Pencil/Marker
  • Tape Measure
  • Whiteboard and Marker
