Good lord, I think I got a hernia just looking at it!
what is the slider and pole for? I though they were on the top and it was for a monitor mount, but looking at it closer it is on the side and horizontal....
looks like you know what you are doing
Thanks everyone, been very busy will update as soon as I can.
essentially the desk allows you to kick back in full recline mode using the built in foot rest 5 ft keyboard tray that will pull out 2 ft and the monitors will pull forward 1ft. that's the main reason for the triple monitor stand. Pull all 3 monitors forward at the same time. also a big reason the desk needed some heft.
Either the rear beams are overkill or there isn't adequate support bracing to handle the load in the center front of the desk. If you were concerned about the table tipping forward or backwards then you should have made the base solid instead of hollow.

Aside from the Jap tools that's pretty nice.

I've been thinking about a way to be able to play while in such a position comfortably.... this may be the ticket!

yep its very stable and solid and would take heavy leaning on an expanded keyboard tray with monitors foward.I'm thinking it is good. Solid multiple heavy boards of stud wood on the rear and everything is boxed up with good bracing on the legs and where the top weight is carried. Table top is not overly long and most weight does seem on the rear.
nice job! Me instead of 4 2x4 in the legs at the back I would have remove the 2 in the middle inserted a bag, and after it's done fill it up with sand. which is far heavier. But if you already have the wood...
ThanksWow that is going to be one awesome and solid desk! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

mind blown
and what do you use? milwaukee? porter-cable?

Not sure how you have the footrest secured.
If it's just glued/nailed and screwed I would suggest reinforcing the underside somewhat or you'll eventually break it off.
Some strategically placed 1x1 stock glued and screwed on the underside around the joined perimiter will help prevent bowing or dettaching from the back
You may also want to put a small leg or something under the middle to prevent bowing in the front too, as that's a fairly long and (comparatively) thin piece of lumber. It doesn't need to be all the way up front and visible. Set it about a quarter to a half way back and it should just disappear from the desk's profile while still giving support.
And since I didn't mention it, nice desk!
...I know your not asking me but I have several dwalt drills and routers, milwaukee grinders, makita drills and sanders, black bull floor drill press, husky 60 gal air compressor, thermal arc welder, and some Chinese branded forging tools, among hundreds of others im no brand loyalist I buy what gets good ratings and has been proven to not waist time and money.
Thanks man, its screwed on 3 sides with 7 L brackets and about 30 screws. its good for 100+ lbs the brackets will break before the board bows its also going to get further treatment just wait and see
i have 14 inch slides for the keyboard tray when I do that. they extend twice the size and load up to 100lbs ( they hold much more then that though) you can also lay them flat but extended this way they have a little more give so I like to use them vertically as shown.
