DIY Music Keyboard Desk
DIY Music Keyboard Desk
Hi there, have you ever wish there were a studio desk in your room? Since I've been a Berklee student, I fantasize about that everyday but...
...OK, it's time for DIY! At first, searching Amazon, because it's impossible for me that to make from lamber with chain-saw, so I'd like to use the readymade product and custom it. I picked up these stuff.

1. Screw the Outer Slider on the side plates of desk.
Drill the small holes for guide.
Fix with wood screw.
Screw it each side.
2. Read the instructions, construct the desk.
Nothing difficult.
3. Measure the width and Cut up the drawer board.
*important: Before measuring the size, set the inner slider once.
1122mm (44.17inch)
*important: Add 2mm (1/8 inch) because this board will bend by the weight of keyboard. In this case, cut on 1124mm (44 1/4 inch).
If you are not good at handsaw, I strongly recommend to use something wood as a jig and clump it.
Cutting in midnight!!
4. Screw the Inner Slider on the side of drawer board
Mark the screw holes.
Drill the guide holes.
Screw it.
Yeeeah!!
5. Cut the board for monitor stand.
Measure each side of the board. I made it 12.7cm (5 inch), this means the height of monitor stand.
My cutting got be better.
Mark 3 points for screw.
Drill the guide holes.
6. Assemble the monitor stand.
Mark as same pitch as guide holes.
Drilling too.
Like this.
Screw tight.
7. Screw the monitor stand on the desktop.
Put the stand on the place as you wish.
Mark for guide holes.
Don't be afraid. Drill it.
Screw the monitor stand from the inside.
Finally done!
8. Never mind about the quality of detail.
I'm not sure why I put my turntable on the desktop. Any how, enjoy music and study hard!! I will be happy if I can be of any help.
