Find out how we saved money, used scrap material, and designed some COOOL Aluminum mens office desks.

When we received a call a few weeks ago from a horse trailer manufacturer needing mens office desks for the drafting dudes, we pitched the idea of using some of their material to make the desks.  They were open to the idea.  After getting the tour of the plant, we had an idea.  Where is your scrap material?  Our tour guide, later design partner, realized then what we had in mind.  Let’s make some cool desks from scrap material!  Here were the goodies we saw on that tour.  

Repurposed Office Desks

We talked thru the design, provided the lay-out, & priced out the project.  Once they did a comparison and realized we would save them over $2,000, customized sizes to fit the best areas, & desks that told their story, we got the green light.  

Here are the first aluminum desks created drying after the acid wash.  Thank you for a hot, summer day to aid the drying process!

Aluminum Office Desk

To complete the mens office, Steelcase mobile pedestals were added.  We like mobile pedestal for storage & guest seating.  We also hung a glass marker board.
