Post #398,338 by malraux 1/21/15 10:25:37 AM Reply	Step 1 is problematic No one sells 15" chunks of wood around here. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Post #398,340 by malraux 1/21/15 12:27:48 PM Reply	Yes, but then you'd need to stack them. Not terribly stable without getting into actually building something. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Post #398,353 by Ashton 1/21/15 3:49:05 PM Reply	Gotta think outside the Box-box here.. Modrin techno to the rescue: 1) Ya finds local collector of every shiny-Shiny: thus has a 3-D printer. (Or 3 or 4--gotta keep up.) 2) Ya does a few simple calcs (wall-thickness desired of the plastic) to withstand weight of desk + anticipated horiz. shear-force (via clumsily tripping over the elevated 'desk', after a vodka-making evening.) 3) input end snugly fits the leg-shape; bottom shape to taste (or leave it tastelessly roundish/squarish.) 4) Pay the man; install 'leg' prostheses, (Admire the 1 minute installation job.) Continue to fight AGW, etc. [Conslutant fee: waived. Yer Welcome.]

Post #398,357 by boxley 1/21/15 4:16:34 PM Reply	sigh, if I wanted to build something 1 2x4 sliced in 4 pieces four pieces of strap iron and use 8 bolts to attach the legs to the desk. I cant be bothered, all I want to do is lift it up, shove something under it, done Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 59 years. meep
