Custom Desk Build

Planning and Design

CAD plans and cable scheme for home wiring

I started by planning every route in AutoCAD. With over 300 individual cable runs this was essential to ensure I had enough cable and missed no cable runs.


Building Cabinets

Running cables in the kitchen

To make the cabinets, I cut down MDF sheets and assembled them with glue and screws.


Finishing Cabinets

Installing rubber roof on garden room

Each cabinet was sanded multiple times before being primed and painted. I repeated this process until I achieved a smooth, even finish.


The Worktop

Installing rubber roof on garden room

I made the worktop out of pine sheets, laminating them together for additional strength. Once glued, I sanded the entire surface flat before applying a wood finish.


Test Fit

test fitting the assembly

Before final delivery, I test-fitted the assembled desk in my own kitchen (See Kitchen Install Here →) to confirm alignment and stability.
This ensured a perfect installation once transported to its final location.


Final Result

Installing first fix electrics in garden room
