Desk

I made my own desk. It's a collection of stained 2 x 6 pine. The stain is a Walnut color with a ton of lacquer. I found a third-party standing desk attachment and mounted it to the desktop. I used to use saw horses but wanted something more configurable. The desk itself without the standing attachment was less than $100 to make which to me was worth the extra work!

Being a musician, I am a bit of a tone snob. Regular old computer speakers aren't enough for me. Pictured below and in the video is a pair of KRK powered monitors. I combine those with a cheap but deadly subwoofer from Behringer. All in all, I'm very pleased with the audio. It's hella loud :) Check the video for pictures or head to the blog article (https://web-crunch.com/my-design-and-development-setup-fall-2017)
