Hello track gang—this one’s a sidebar piece for lack of a better term. It’s not model railroad related, but it’s absolutely “railroad channel support equipment” related: I built a long, sturdy computer desk for my video editing and monthly live streams (Sidetrack Sunday) using an old IKEA 3-tier shelf set as the base. My desk ended up 9ft 10in long, 30in deep, and 30 1/2in off the floor, and I also added an upper shelf above the monitors for my 3D printer, regular printer, and the usual incidentals. I walk through how I built the leg assemblies and shelf supports out of 2x2s, used a Kreg-style pocket hole jig (my “faux Craig jig”), and why some choices were pure “guesstimated” reality once I got under the desk. I added a lower shelf (mainly for a subwoofer now, and possibly a UPS later), adjustable feet, and extra cross bracing because I didn’t want the 3D printer shaking the whole works loose. Along the way I hit the usual big-box-store headaches—finding straight boards, swapping sizes when they didn’t have what I wanted, and learning the hard way that deck screws are too fat for 2x2s. In the end, the big takeaway is stability and function: the desk is stout, I can finally pull it off the wall for cable management, and I even used my 3D printer to make cable clips to tame at least some of the wiring disaster.
