Office Workstation

Oooooooooooo. Now that’s a classy piece. I love the simple lines, abundance of workspace and openess of the design. That’s a really nice piece, RJ!

Thanks:) The aspect that always seems to be lacking in an engineering/architectural workstation is a place to organize and stash plans and project reference materail. So far this has worked out pretty well and yes I think you can get about 4 full size plans set out if needed or two with plenty of room to work:)

I’m very impressed! Your workmanship is amazing. The file cabinets are so simple, yet the dovetail joints make them special.

How did you do the edging around the radius?

Beautiful piece, what is a Burgess edge banding system?

Great workstation. Very functional.

I’d love to have a workstation like that. The mahogany and finish are exceptional. How long did it take you build? Very nice!

Thanks again for the kind words:) The edging around the radius is actually a bent up lamination. Just 1/8” pieces glued and clamp and a form to match the raduis:) Here’s a link to the edge banding system I used http://www.burgessedge.com/. There are now other’s on the market that are considerably cheaper but I purchased my set 6 years or so ago so… I think I have about 50 hours in it maybe a couple more with design and misc stuff. I think I probably spent the most time on fitting the file cabinet doors. I had never done that before so…

Very nice and plenty of surface area to work with.

Very nice…as a designer myself I can appreciate the large plan space. You can never have too much.

I looked at your Flickr page and saw that really nice roll around workstation. I hope you post the plans over here (or at least let us know when they are avaialble). I already have a sketch in my notebook. I need something exactly like that for my “shop”.

Excellent work BTW.

-- Jerry L.

I hope to have the workstation and plans complete by the end of the weekend or first part of next week at the latest:) As soon as it’s all ready to go I will be sure to post here:)

You have a lot of desk space to open plans on. Great job. I also like the view.

Ron, Super job. That has to make it more fun to do work in that setting ;^D

This has been one of those projects that I don’t know how I got along without for so long!! It just seems so much easier to do everything it’s crazy.

Hi Ron;

You are afflicted. I am afflicted. Nothing like being organized!

I just checked out your projects. You do very nice work!

That is a phenomenal workstation- I would almost want to be out of the shop if that were my desk.

Thanks Chris! Yeah it works pretty well. I have been using it now for a couple months with no complaints:)

That is awesome work, I almost feel ashamed of myself for posting my ‘in progress’ corner desk and prototype shelves.

grovemadman thank you:) it’s really more basic than it looks though. I bet you could build this in your sleep!! Probably the most advanced portions were the half round end and pedistal turning but other than that… it was just some dados and dovetails:)
