Computer Desk Modification

This job was brought to me by a friend who needs a specialty bed in their living space. The problem is the current desk would obstruct the new bed’s functionality.

What needed to be done was to move the leg section underneath and flush to the edge of the desk. This Job was not overly complicated, I measured the thickness of the desk itself and removed that much material from the leg near the bottom to better disguise the modification. I also needed to shorten two leg supports as the leg had moved in closer to them, so again I removed the required excess material.

After cutting and grinding the weld areas clean It’s time to fit and weld the leg and supports back together. I used my Canaweld 201 pulse-d TIG welding settings, made sure everything was clamped and flush, and then tacked it together. I then welded all the outside joints and fillet welds last. I primed, tremclad, and clear coated to finish the job.
