Black Syren Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Ok so carousing craigslist I found a captains desk. It is selling for $125.00. My question is I know we have many carpenters here..has anyone ever made one? This was the descrip with the posting.... Beautiful slope writing desk that could have been portable or formally attached to base cabinet used/kept by captains of ships in their quarters. Would be attached to a chest of drawers or some form of a cabinet/cupboard. Primitive, but with carved out niche for writing utensils. Hinges still in perfect condition. So Id love to see what our fellow carpenters could create...Maybe raffle it off at PiP???? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyTarr Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 That really does not look hard to make. I would say that price is a little high unless it is old. Would you like one made for you? Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Syren Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 It's an antique thus the price. I would love to have one but not till the next year sometime. But some of us from the WatchDog thought it would be cool to have one made to raffle off at PiP to give someone a chance to bring home a little piece of history. But just an idea. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
