Steampunk monitor initiative goes awry, out pops wooden enclosure

The monitor you see above was awfully close to becoming exactly like this, but thankfully, the wood gods spoke to Scuba_SM's heart before he could round up another batch of Victorian-era tubing. The 22-inch wooden enclosure completely covers up the fact that an awkward looking LCD monitor is sitting on the table, and the solid maple top / base caps, light cherry stain and light coat of satin finish polyurethane make for something that's actually enjoyable to gaze at. Overkill? Maybe. Classy? Yes, please.

All it needs is a fireplace screensaver.

Now, if it, say, were to pop out of the desk from under, then that would be cool.

Wow, it's a desktop Miracle Amish Heater! I suppose the Amish are giving away the LCD so long as we buy the mantle and they're imposing a strict limit of only two per household, right?

lol soooo true. It is like a legal form of a Chinese sweat shop.

For anyone who wants to know, the screensaver thats running in the picture is called "Free Fire Screensaver", I use it all the time. I would recommend turning off the crackling fire sound, it's novel charm wears off awhile.

Yes people, just google 'free screensaver' and install what you find, what could possibly go wrong?

There's a business in here somewhere, converting flat screen TVs and monitors into wooden furniture from your choice of era. 60s minimalism, 30s Art Deco, Edwardian. Perhaps even Elizabethan Oak.
