In this Pinterest inspired DIY video I share a simple how to build a desk cheap and easy for around $100.
This farmhouse style desk was built with very little complicated woodworking techniques making this something most everyone can tackle. The need for this project came from my wife now working from home like many right now. The design of the desk was inspired from a few ideas found on Pinterest. I used Fusion 360 to 3d model the design and then started building. Nominal size lumber from any big box store is all you need for this design. The desk was made from 2x4’s, 2x8’s and 4x4’s and then finished with Minwax Polyshades. The cost for the wood was right around $100, other required items would be screws, wood glue, and your choice of finish. The overall dimension are 4' by 6' by 21" wide. The top for the desk sits 30" above the floor and gives plenty of leg room and arm for a computer chair. The painted white legs (can be whitewashed), X shaped legs, combined with the think 1.25" think darker stained top is what makes it the farmhouse style.

I saw a woodworker recently use a length of dowel that matched the diameter of his counter-sunk screw holes and used a flush cut saw to trim... just an idea to avoid the process of having to cut your own plugs! Either way, great video! The table looks awesome!

@ThatTechTeacher427
@ThatTechTeacher427 3 года назад
That your estimate below is pretty close. That distance is determined from the edge of the support rail to the edge of the support and it needs to line up to to the legs on either side. This will change based on the measurements of the desk you build.

I think it is better to remove the $ 100 value from the video description, as this is not true. At least the respected author does not include the cost of all the equipment that was used in the assembly. I don’t think people have at least half of the tools in the pantry. 😂

That's the one thing I can't stand about these videos...the day to day average person doesn't own half this stuff. Here I am going.."is there a wood working shop" in the area with all these fancy tools. I have a saw, a miter saw, a few jig saws and such along with drills and I even have a pocket hole kit...the rest...WTF. As I look through videos to figure a way to build my own as an average joe, I find a lot of deceiving BS...the desk looks great but the process is not obtainable by most.

@jeffmackay8198
@jeffmackay8198 2 года назад
Nice Job! Just one tip: make sure your end grains are opposite between boards( that are running together parallel- as in your multi board table top) this will minimize any warping over time. If they all are running the same there is no counter grain pressure. One end grain curves down, the next board turn it up the third board turn it down again. Up- down-up. But as I said great DIY build.
@sergegodbout1874

After endless searching...I never understand these DIY videos as they are either not as informative as they need to be or missing key steps.... Where does one go for 1:35-2:00? The end results are always great but half of the time I'm left with missing pieces of the puzzle. Fusion 360...free trial, gift, or paid the $50 a month sub....so many issues with the misleading pricing.

Саранча была похожа на подготовленных к битве лошадей. На головах у них было что-то вроде золотых корон, а лица напоминали человеческие. Их волосы были как женские волосы, а зубы - как львиные зубы. У них были нагрудники, подобные железным доспехам, и звук их крыльев был подобен грому многих коней и колесниц, мчащихся в битву. У них были хвосты с жалами, как у скорпионов, и в их хвостах была сила мучить людей в течение пяти месяцев. Царем над ними был ангел бездны, имя которого на иврите было Абаддон, а на греческом - Аполлион.
