A New Desk
by Bryan on Mar.12, 2009, under Music
One of the afformentioned projects that I finished up recently is a new desk. I took woodshop classes in High School and I’ve always loved building things but I’ve never really had the opportunity to build anything substatial. I’ve built a TV riser and a few odd things around the house but nothing that would get your attention. After a few hours with some graphing paper, I had my optimal design.
Unfortunately, the selection of local lumber in Las Vegas is a bit slim so my design was limited by the selection available. I already knew I wanted 100% hardwood, so I looked at what they had at the local Home Deopt, made some quick calculations in my head, and asked them to cut me a few pieces of Red Oak and Maple.
About 2 hours of measuring and cutting, 6 hours of sanding, and a few hours waiting for glue to set, I had my finished product.
