Prospective Project #2

work-desk

And here is my second prospective project. This is a desk for my room that has to fit in a very confined space: 80cm by 80cm. It’s between the end of my bed and the wall, and there’s nowhere else for it to go because my room is rather small. It’s one of the two box rooms in the house.

I am actually building this project starting Friday. I’m going to try and do it in a weekend, but it’s unlikely seeing how complicated it is. The two back uprights have 8 or 9 joints each. On one piece of wood. Man that’s going to be tough to pull off.

Did the planning and I’ll be able to make it with just 3 lengths of 50mm by 50mm. That’s 2″ by 2″ in the old money.
