I wasn't going to post this until I finished the hutch but.. someone ask me to take some pictures today so why not? The finish is on but curing so it has not been rubbed down with 0000 steel wool and wax to cut down the sheen yet.
All QSWO except drawers of maple. There is a compartment behind the key-board open on the rear that will house surge protector and all main wires as no wires will be seen. CPU in right cabinet with open back to cool.. 2 add on after the fact as my wife asked for them in lieu of shelves after the carcass was built with recessed door. That presented a design problem with door clearance but I adjusted on the fly to get it the way she wants it. The drawers are for manuals.. back up tapes.. etc..
Basically a Stickley hunt-board modified to accept computer components in the way she desired them to be. The hutch will be a modified Liberty & Co. hunt-board hutch modified to accept her small printer.. speakers.. etc. The top is 23" x 63" x 1 1/4" and weighs around 70 pounds with the base at around 60 lbs. The hutch will weigh another 40 lbs. or so and eventually around 140 board feet used over-all. All M & T's.. bridals and dadoes with box joint drawers as the one my father used at the U.S. Post Office for 35 years before his death in 1959. I loved that desk as a kid.
Sorry for my photo skills as they are basically non-existant as my computer skills.
Sarge..
