Desk Done

 It's finished and in place. the poly coating looks great with the pine, everything went well. I did have to as a little piece of wood under the front left leg to square it up as the house isn't quite square being 120 years old. Now to build the filling cabinet and get the office tidied up. Here is how it looks.

New Desk

 This past couple of weeks I have been getting lumber dressed to make a new desk, all out of pine. It is an open style desk with one drawer and a place for the old computer tower, which I still use once in a while. The top is a breadboard style, 1 inch think, it turned out great. I have a cut out in the back of the top for wires and a platform for the monitor. I will be putting a plastic holder under the back side to hold the loose wires with a bit of foam to hold them in place. The legs and supports for the drawer and tower are held in place by dovetails. I just slide them in and out for easy assembly. A low edge on the back so I don't accidently pushing anything off. Once I get it finished with clear poly the pine will be nice and light for the office. Shortly I'll be making a new filling cabinet with drawers for odds and ends, as well a for paper for the printer. Here is the desk prior to the finish.


This is the new desk.


Just another angel.

You can see the dovetails to hold the legs in place.

Easily disassembled to move where needed.
