Roughsawn Computer Desk


so i have a stack of old farm doors i have been trying to figure
out projects with, so why not make a desk


so the doors make up the backs of the cabinets


the drawrs i salvaged out of a kitchen from early sixtys, so
that makes them vintage.....i think!


hard to tell, but that slab is 27" deep and 2 1/2" thick


planed and sanded, ready for finish


this top is 2"thick and 24"wide


the top is all one piece the miter has 6  1"dowls 8"long.
getting them to line up and fit together snug was a mother bear!


the cabinets are attatched solid to the doors so there are
only 4 pieces to the desk. the top, drop in leaf, left and right
cabinets.


i dropped the leaf to make room for keyboard and ?????


mocked up the "vintage" doors


distressed the doors


installed glides for the printer tray

finished the top


the hardest part was drilling holes to rout all the cables and
 cords....i almost cried!!!


everything fit.....


all done!!!!
