Soo...Long Story short:
I always wanted a nice setup for my home recording studio... Studiofurniture is quite overpriced, while wood is quite cheap in my area.

Unfortunately I am no experienced handyman. I have build my own Bed (which is quite crude and basic) and a crossbow once....
And I know that oftentimes building your own furniture will turn out more expensive then simply buying it.
BUT i am really tall (6.75 feet / 2m06), so I guess I would have to get a custom made table anyways.
I will post a basic sketch

So This is the Idea I came up with.

I have a few concerns:
>Will it be stable enough to support my equipment?
>Is that to complicated for me?
>Which wood should I use?
>Will I be able to get a curved piece of wood like that one under the table somewhere?
>how would I best support the flat piece of wood on the back? Will it break if I move the table forward?

Just give me any general thought


sorry for broken english

That is how the individual pieces would look like

I would try to keep everything form falling apart using screws (Yeah, I know those are bolts which cant be used like that - I did not have another 3dmodel laying around)

Im building a custom Desk myself, but im gonna use Custom made Drawers as legs, because ill place mi equipment there..
A really big amp, videogame consoles, etc..

But looking at what ur building i wouldnt use wood as legs, ill use some metal legs like pic related that u cant find for real cheap in ur ''big ass Depot store'' ,since im guessing u dont know how much those wood legs ur making could take without bending .
And also ill put a thing Called in Spanish ``travesaño`` i dont know hte name of it in english but like pic:

Since it will make it sturdier and also give u a place to hide cables, but it depends on how wide ur table will be, mine will be long so ill need one for sure, but if ur table aint that big u would be ok without it.

Hey, Thanks for your answer.
The travesano looks like it could work.
The furthest length of the table would be 3 meters (9.8 feet). But only if you take the two furthest points.
