Wanting to make a new desk

I am getting ready to save up to make a new desk for our office (it may take a while but hopefully I get some money on Sunday for my birthday) But I have a 66 inch long area that's indented, i would like to make one that fits in there and even to the right side on the wall as well.

Well I finally went and tried it fully and kinda like it. Still kinda clumsy with it and getting used to being in it. I did get my games to work with Crossover, Cost my $40 but it worked.

So I update agl, I think it looks good.

Your feed back is appreciated too thro… Continue
