I'd like to help, but any DIY advice from me would almost certainly result in your house falling down. Then you'd really be angry.

Just bought a plank of MDF from homebase and used storage boxes to raise mine up to elbow level.
no more risk of back injury

Jacked some mdf from work and cut it down to size to make my shelf wider so I can put the monitors on.

these are the plans for my deck table cabinet, I'm going to carve a picture of two octipus' on the top. Its 90cm high which I have been told is the offical hight for DMC battles though how true that is I do not know.

I think it might be referring to scale, as in, 1mm on this piece of paper = 1cm of actual wood..?
