Building a computer desk...

So in the last couple months (while the weather was cold), I've been looking for a new computer desk for myself, preferably an L desk. But...I don't feel like paying $300+ for one, I'm cheap like that.

So I decided to make my own!

The plan...

I went to the nearest Gilroy's and got some stain, Pecan color.

My wife said she wanted a new desk, too. But only a small one. So here goes...

Here is half my desk, and my wife's desk after initial build...

Got my desk completely built, now for the stain coats...this after "second" coat, I put on thick coats...

Image

I'll probably be adding to it build wise, shelves and all. Keep you posted!

Building one is much cheaper, only paid $90 for the supplies and lumber, though $20 of it alone was just for a good pocket hole jig kit.
