Nice part of the world @catherder , had a great week near Elgin a few years ago 🦭🐳🦅

@GeoTony, Yes, it is. Great for various outdoor activities. That is for me mostly spending time with horses and ponies. No synth shops here, but the Moray Firth Synthesizer Club. Nice little synth community - we even do live Open Mic sessions about every two months.

Thank you, the “Desk” is a Husky adjustable height workbench from Home Depot, the speaker and monitor stands are made of 1” X 8” pine board and there is a “Skirt” made of 1” X 2” pine board to make them look thicker.

All glued and clamped together. I sanded it all by hand with 120 grit sand paper. I used a trim router from Harbor Freight to round off the top edges just to see if I could. It was my first time using a router.

Then I painted them with three coats of clear satin water based polyurethane

The chrome stands are IKEA bar stands for the speakers and cabinet legs for the iPad. I saw a YouTube video where another guy used them on his desk and I loved the jaunty angle of them. When I checked the ikea site, I found they were discontinued so EBay to the rescue!

Really turned out great!
Question though. Did you sand and polyurethane the actual Husky desk wood surface or just the speaker stands?
You’ve given me a great idea for my kitchen.

Just the speaker and ipad stands as I made them from raw pine. The husky workbench already has a similar finish

I’m from Rijeka / Croatia. It’s most rainy city in our country. Funny thing, just 25km from my city is island Krk also called golden island because it’s most sunny place on Adriatic. So, as you can see, I ended up living on dark side of the yin-yang.

I don’t remember if I have posted in this thread, but, anyway, I live 25km north Stockholm, Sweden.
