  1. Projects Student desk

    My oldest daughter is off to university in the fall so I figured I’d get a desk built for her sooner rather than later. The base is fir(I think) which was leftover from a project where the customer supplied the lumber. The maple top was given to me by a co-worker a few years ago. The Cherry is...

  3. Projects Desk

    I needed a smaller desk since retirement. I had a large executive oak desk that was a real pain to move around and very heavy. I searched online and found photos of what I wanted. Using the photos I built this simple desk from common materials easily available.
  4. Projects Classic Gray Murphy bed and Desk

    It's been a while since my last post, and I wanted to share this project as it's a bit different from my usual undertakings. It's a Murphy bed paired with a matching Executive-style desk. The Murphy bed is a craftsman style with a four-panel face. One distinctive feature is the outset lights...

  6. Projects Tiny furniture is still furniture, right?

    A needed a project to play around with at night to not annoy the neighbors with power tools... this is somehow what I settled on. I will never be able to afford a real Nakashima piece, so I'll have to make do with this. Made with Rimu (I think), titebond and good intentions. Glamour shots...
  7. General Woodworking Discussions
    Hi, I just ordered a motorized standing desk - frame only. I would like advice on building the top to go with the desk. it is L-shaped and pretty big - roughly 6’ for the “big L” and 5’ for the “short L”. What wood would be a good choice? I don't have a jointer, does that mean I need to use...

  9. Mid Mod Slab Top?

    This is a Norfolk Island pine slab that wanted to be a desk. I have had the dovetailed legs in my head for many years. I saw it somewhere but don't remember where. The geometry for the mahogany legs and trays was inspired by Mark Spagnolo AKA the wood whisperer. The angles (34 degrees) were just...

  12. Wooten Desk

  16. Computer Desk and Table, via Pocket Holes and Plywood

    My small desk just didn't give me enough space to draw, edit videos, or play video games comfortably. So I decided it's time for a new one! I considered buying a computer desk, but couldn't find quite what I wanted, so I decided to make one. One that would have room for all my hobbies and be...
  17. Door Desk

    For a remodel of my son's room I took an old solid wood 6 panel door and converted it into a desk. A few cuts were done to shorten the length and then to make the leg. The extra material from the cut offs was used to make support brackets. For the top I made a wood pencil box/organizer and...
