  • This video is a step by step tutorial on how to build a simple desk. If you are new to woodworking, this is a very easy “how to” video, that is easy to follow, with precise instructions. Just pause it while you’re building if you just want to follow along. This DIY desk will work great for a small office, or it can be used for homeschooling or “distance learning” with the Corona Virus keeping kids home from school this year. It is a very basic design, and you don’t need complicated tools to build it. I built this desk in about 4 hours and it cost me about $40 to build since I used 2x4s, and cut them up into smaller lumber before starting. This desk can be built very quickly and is a very simple design with very few cuts. Check the materials list below to see what materials I used and what tools I recommended to build this project.

    The desk is simple and with your instructions, very easy to build. The two shelves are a plus. The 1/4" board is a good idea because sometimes the pocket screws end up poking through. Thanks!

      I am fairly new to pocket holes.
      Verify the length of your screws to the thickness of your stock. Also, the depth of your pocket hole.. Happy building..

    Did you rip the 2x to actual 1inch and 2 inch or did you rip it to the dimensional lumber size if bought them separate?

    • @DIYMAN
      @DIYMAN  2 года назад +1

      I ripped them down to the size of dimensional lumber in case someone wanted to make this without doing that 👍

      It's a $500 saw, and if that is the barrier to the hobby, it's not for you yet.
