Desk conversion

I'm converting my writing desk into a computer desk. These are sketches of what it should look like once I've attached a drop-door.

Here are some pictures of my progress today.
...positioning how the closed drawer will look.


The drop-door will rest with doors tucked underneath while the board attaching them sets level with the keyboard tray. I'll add hinges after I screw the facade together. Oh, I'm cutting the wood with a jigsaw, thanks to Philip.

I've glued and stapled the drawer faces together and varnished the attaching board. Sorry, I don't know what to call these pieces. I hope it's not confusing.

Weekend Projects

A few weeks ago I started to get some freelance work outside my apartment. Somehow, doing work during the week makes me want to do domestic things on the weekend. Now, I have a sort of rule that weekends are only for house projects/exercise/relaxing and weekdays are for work, looking for work, etc. Hopefully with the separation of time I will get more things accomplished instead of feeling overwhelmed and doing nothing but watch hulu marathons.

Here is a shelf I cut to fit with a small hand saw. I nailed a block of the sawed off wood into the wall as a ledge.

Using the ledge idea I cut a canvas a stretcher in two and nailed them to the cabinet sides. The board was already cut the correct size.

This shelf has been up since summer, but I hung a mirror underneath. It pointed more downward before I added a screw at the bottom to balance it.

My big project this weekend was cutting and installing a keyboard tray to my writing desk. I had to hammer out the drawer holders. I plan to attach the drawer faces to the tray as a facade...next weekend.

commercial

This is my latest work. I drew the 2D character animation on a commercial for Flips cereal. Produced by Dancing Diablo.
