Computer Desk

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Computer DeskI built a computer desk for my younger daughter.The top is 2'x4'. It was made of two layers of 1/2” MDF, glued and screwed together. It was then trimmed with poplar. I covered it with a piece of laminate and trimmed it with a 45-degree router bit. I added a plastic grommet to allow cables from the keyboard as well as the monitor to pass through.The computer box was made from 3/4” red oak plywood, edged with 1/4”x3/4” red oak. I left part of the back open to allow for cables as well as airflow to assist in ventilation for the processor.The legs are 3/4” black pipe with flanges on each end. The pipe was cleaned with lacquer thinner and then spray painted with gloss black paint. The feet were poplar 4'x4' from a pallet, 45 degree mitered ends and 4”x4” foot pads added on the bottom.All the wood received 2 coats of Verethane stain/finish with light sanding between coats.All the lumber was scrap I had laying around in the shop. It's heavy and stable. She loves it.
