which desk design do you think is better?

[Pugsport]

Why can't you be serious for once? I think it's a good design and want to see the outcome of it :stare:

thanks i wanted to make a start covering the desk today but snow has stopped play

On an un-serious note, what part of the desk is that tube of Deep Heat for?


OK, here's a joke:

A guy goes into a chemist and says "I've got TWO girls coming over tonight, I need something better than Viagra"

The Chemist gets an unmarked jar from under the counter, "take one of these and you'll be good for HOURS"

Next day the guy come back and drops his pants and says to the Chemist "look at this".

He shows the Chemist his penis, which is red raw and has bits of skin coming off it, and says "have you got any Deep Heat?"

The Chemist says "What! You can't put Deep Heat on that!!"

They guy says "Oh no, the Deep heat is for my arms, the girls didn't show"




And keep the pics coming. It's looking good.

Wally didn't know what MDF was? LOL

I wouldn't have the time either...

deep heat i used on my back and shoulder the other day. muscles were again giving me some issues altho thats normal for me as the weather starts to turn colder every since i was in a car crash that left the car flipping over 3 times with me in it and now my back and shoulder gives me some pain in the winter months

lol

thanks Andy.

i thought maybe you did not have MDF over there and thats why but then i was like well its such a good product why would you not have it.

[Pugsport]

got a package today throw the post
2/2 twill weave carbon fibre

i bought it do the inside area of the pc cupboard along side some white paint but have now found something else which could look nice instead

Bronze carbon fibre (instead of using blue for the lighting and coolant colour just use white lights and clear coolant with a light brown cable braiding

anyone got any veiws on which direction to go?

 

[WaLLy]

carbon fiber :drool2:

Any direction you go with it is gonna looking SEXY!!

And it's coming out quite nicely Pug!

 

[PaigeBoo]

It is looking very awesome Pug! Nice job man. I personally like the Carbon fiber and white paint idea myself. I have a soft spot for blue lights though lol.

 

[Pugsport]

got most of the wood work done now. only thing left is one door, two draws and to scribe the top in. then its on to prep work for paint

 

[BluBirD78]

Looking pretty awesome Pug!!

It's going to suck if/when you have to move it though (assuming it's all one piece)
