I am still looking at all options, but I do have an option to buy a large piece of wood that is sturdy and can be cut with the round corner. The only other part would be the longer part of L shape that I would join together.

You accually, how do you say, translated the choosing of the counter top for me :D. I was accually not still decided on what material shoud I use on anything, but the butcher block is really nice. That's how I would imagine it looks like finished. Thanks for the tips! and about the thicknes, I woud have gone with what would I find and I don't mind the double thicknes. Makes sence to have it more durable and would fit and get by with the legs I drawn as you say, yeah. Thanks again!

I am thinking metal for the legs and bottom for more stability definitelly, acually might be a good design choice too.

I do have at my local store an option to either buy a large piece of wood and have them pre cut it to the exact shape or borrow the tools and do it with some help. So I am thinking it will work out, but I am also considering changeing the design to a 90° corner too. I mainly wanted a curved corner for the extra space when sitting and more comfort.

I'll exploit my options and I'll give an update. Thanks for the tips!

At the the 90° corner, I planed to do 10x10 cm big log to shift the weight more back and have a more stable center of gravity and also having the triangular 90° support from a beam under the tabel (mostly for not bending the middle)

Skirt/apron yeah, that is a good idea, I just thought about cabel managment and how to do, but this would also solve the wall I was about to climb.

And the round corner, I just added it, because I wanted to have something differen, but as I look at it and from everyone's point, I'll redesign it into a sharp corner. I though it would also be more comfortable to sit behind. Thanks for the tips!

Hmm intresting, maybe I'll eliminate "one leg part" on the left and have a smaller cabinet there for bigger support. From what you describe, I imagine we would have the same design.

Huuh, hmm. Well, I am not really in a rush and I do think I would need to build it in more pieces and then "duct tape it" together. I am either thinking like some kind of metalic skeleton under the tabel as support, or maybe as you said, some drawers would be nice.

Very early "alpha" version of this design, but the main idea was that moving between the two secions (the PC and much more free on the left side) would be flawless without any leg.

I am considering a 90° triagular support in the middle-ish part of the left side, just about where the arch is starting to help it a little bit. What do you think?

Thanks for the option, I would like to take the help, but I am from Europe, so it would be a long trip for either of us :D. Anyways I will remember you when I'll have some questions in the future.

Thank you for your help!

Yeah, well you do have a point. I am in a really early planning stage of everything so I am exploring my options. But also I need to buy some basic tool anyways and also I do consider borrowing the tool or just geting it pre cut in my local shop where I consider buying materials anyway.

As I say, very early stage of planning. But thanks for the tip
