The Nuts and Bolts
Before buying your wood, start out by measuring your workspace. This will let you know roughly how wide your desk can be. Once you’ve done this and purchased your wood and other supplies you’ll need, it’s time to start piecing it all together. Even though you’ve measured your workspace, you will still need to cut the boards to the dimensions that will accommodate your desktop and legs. Also, don’t forget to paint or stain the different parts of the desk as you see fit. Finally, use wood screws to put everything together. These will ensure your finished desk is built to last.
Cheery wood, elm, cedar, maple and rosewood all work when building a desk. The choice is really just a matter of personal preference. For a full list of tools you may need, click here.
