Building a computer desk

Published:

working on building a computer desk. Have not decided on the style yet but will be going with an antique design. Possibly  a hoosier cabinet design.
 Salvaged some 3 x 4s , 4 x6 s from an old historic building that is in the process of restoration that I have been working on. Stuff that would have been thrown in the dumpster. The lumber is antique pine.
Will start denailing tomorrow and run some thru the table saw into thickness to finish out at 1/2 to 3/4 thickness.Will run thru a planer from there to finish thickness. From there I will glue and clamp together for wider width for what I need.
Will make or have made any cabinet moulding I may need.
Was looking on the net for computer desks and seen some in different styles.
The one I will make should have a retail value between 4 and 6 thousand dollars. The one I am making is going to be a keeper.

John that is fantastic i really like that idea.
At one time i thought about doing the same thing only i wanted it to be a huge roll top with captains cabnets above and a L shaped extension. Then i found the el chepo right angled desk with draws, smalls cabs and several pigon holes. Still one day if i ever get round to it i would like to build a large roll top.

You can turn your hobbie into a number system.
On 5/29, GA's eve p4 was 4436, the salvage from
old historic building for restoration measurement.
Next time you're working, focus on how you can
turn your work into a profit
