Roll top desk for a Mac

Beautiful work.

May I ask: what do you call those clamps in picture 5? The ones holding the timber flat?

Wow.
Supreme craftsmanship.

Very creative! Great finish and ideal.

De-Staco brand hold down toggle clamps, also make great handles to hold onto while passing the raised panel past the cutterhead. Because of the odd shape I had to build a jig and free hand it. The rest I used the shapers fence and power feed them past the cutter. Hard to tell the whole story in 6 pictures.

That is stunning. Wow

Nice job, I love roll top desks. What issue is it in? Also what size screen do you have in there? We have a Mac and I’ve thought about making a roll top for it.

Mac is 27” . Issue is FWW December 1989 . FWW members can get a pdf off the website . I added 6” to the roll top height, extra 4” in knee hole width and pedestals are 2” wider to accommodate roll out for printer or scanner.

wooh! Nice piece.
