Alright, desk in
Probably used too many Hammer fixings (plus glue) but better safe than sorry. I swear my spirit level is on the wind up, seemed to give me different readings on the same static batten over two days!
Needed a slight extra cut to allow the desk in given the walls aren't very flat.
Fits pretty snug! Decided to cut a section of the frame rather than a) scribe or b) reduce desk depth given I don't have skills, time or tools for a) and b) I didn't want sit too close to my screen.
People on imgur gave me shit within seconds of uploading these images shout lack of scribing but this is not a nice or well preserved frame and it not a frame that faces the rest of the room. Is it really such a cardinal sin to have cut the old beaten up frame?
Next job, planing the edge a bit, then drilling some cable management and then sanding and oiling!
