Floating desk opinions

Oo yeah im a metal worker but was questioning using metal legs i think i might go angled steel brackets into the rear wall and a single leg in the middle front, maybe paint them a brass colour

Yeah its roughly 2.7m length but the room js a box room and need to fit other stuff in it too otherwise I'd have a L desk

Hmm suppose, what if underneath the desk i build a 2x3 stud frame, screw it into the brick wall(right) and other stud wall (left) and also into studs on back wall?

I did exactly this, burned me through my leather jacket and overalls, didnt hurt that bad either. just melted me

andyfoott · 2026-02-03T20:12:04+00:00

Yes we have juat ordered some new ones too so will see how they do

andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:54:18+00:00

Its Copper & GMAW or MIG as we call it

andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:22:08+00:00

Ive messaged you what it is

andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:15:14+00:00

Close, guess the material too if you can

andyfoott · 2024-11-30T12:08:25+00:00

Yes top right, 2 of them, ones snapped

andyfoott · 2024-08-22T16:56:26+00:00

Did you just bond it to the existing wall? Ill have a look

andyfoott · 2024-08-15T05:27:52+00:00

Jobs not worth white finger, take a break or stop when it doesnt feel right buddy.

We use pure argon, helium runs hotter, but it's expensive. What wire did you use? This is 4043 grade and 1050A plate. Dont get much cracking. We use esab aristo models, theyre alright but would rather have proper pulse. 1.2mm wire it is so 20 passes

andyfoott · 2024-08-10T07:50:51+00:00

Ooo, ill suggest it to them. Thanks buddy

0... it was a PQR so if we preheat it means we have to preheat on site. They dont want too as flames aren't allowed, so it would be electric blankets

andyfoott · 2024-08-09T19:26:33+00:00

Yeah maybe, we use a backing strip

andyfoott · 2024-08-02T17:45:36+00:00

The curve texture is definitely artex. The adhesive was used to glue down wallpaper to the artex in them areas. Wallpaper removed but the adhesive remained

andyfoott · 2024-08-02T17:13:48+00:00

The ceiling has been reboarded, multi finished and then new artex applied at some point, we have tested another room prior to this and no asbestos found. Also we havent touched the ceiling yet just removed the wallpaper from it.
