EP149 DIY Easy-To-Build Plywood Desk


http://www.homemade-modern.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/BLUEQDP-banner.jpg

This DIY desk is made out of two sheets of ¾” plywood and three 2x4s. It only requires a few basic power tools and took us about three hours to build. I will posting cut sheets and dimensioned plans on the site soon. We used oak veneer Purebond plywood and stained it with Varathane wood stain in "Vintage Aqua". This design could be adapted to fit different room sizes and could be made up to 6-feet long.

It looks like a lot of us will be working or studying from home for a bit and I thought that some DIY Desk designs might be helpful, I wish I could do more. Be safe, everyone!
