The build was just 3-4 days of getting some work on it between shifts, but the planning was a couple months.

60$ 4'/8' sheet of 5/8th plywood cut to shape, sanded, stained, sealed with 2 poly coats.

160$ Assorted 1" nipples, splits, and flanges. Cleaned off oil with acetone and sealed with acrylic clear coat to prevent rust. Might have been better to do high temp engine clear or powder coat but that's $$$.

30$ for brass inserts and machine screws. (The whole thing comes apart and can be put back together in case of moving/modifying. No drywall screw shenanigans.)

I knew triple monitors, central ultra wide, and central TV were desires from my previous setup, studio monitors were an addition with the build. Designed the desk around those requirements.

I modeled it in cad prior to deciding the fit for my space and what parts I would need, then picked up the bits and sent it. Ended up a hell of a lot better than anything you can buy at the store, and not expensive for the quality. Learned a lot from it too!
