Step 2: I wanted to have the option of adjusting the angle of my desk, so we made slots from the 1″x 4″. Step 1: Secure a foundation to build the new table top on. Here’s my initial design that my Dad altered appropriately. The desk I purchased is 44″ wide and 26″ deep. I passed up a ton of larger desk for something small because I didn’t want it to be bulky and heavy. I eventually found the exact desk I was looking for on Craig’s List. My only prerequisite for the project was to find a small hard wood (none of this particle board stuff) computer desk and convert it to an animation desk. I wanted to build the whole thing for about $100 dollars. Now, you can buy animation desk online, but a great part of animation’s history: building your own animation desk, is an all but forgotten hobby. I’ve been acquiring the different things equipment necessary: animation disk, the camera stand, the software, but a big piece of the puzzle is the animation desk. It’s been my goal for some time to put together a hand-drawn animation pipeline/station, if you will.
