The Bedroom Desk
And we’re off. So after rough cutting my 17 foot lengths of material down to a manageable size I started marking out and cutting the back upright. This piece, and it’s mirror, are the anchors of the desk. The writing surface and the shelves intersect with it, and it connects to the two legs, which connect to the front uprights which support the front of the desk.
So, it’s a bit crucial to get it right. I’m using this new mitre saw I bought a while back for in and around 20 euros from Homebase, and it does a great job of making sure that your cuts are straight, or well angled if you so wish. It doesn’t do compound mitres, which annoyed me slightly when taking it out of the box, but after using it today it does many jobs quite well. Cutting 2 by 2’s though… it’s about as much as it can handle.
More after the jump.

Friday
Another back post, another busy day. Bebh and Frank were here today and we decided to take a swing into town and show Bebh the tourist sights, because Bebh… is from the city. The Auld big smoke: Dublin.
Went to the park, went charity shopping, all sorts of stuff.
Then Craig swung round to give us a new table; him and his buddy ended up hanging around for hours and having the craic. And T’was 90 boss. /Irish
And all that stuff on Wednesday about it being a lean weekend? Some how managed to scrape cash from everywhere to go drinking. The fun never ends up on the lane.
