Project Information

Here is the rest of my original Home Office T-Desk project.The 2 wings are suspended from cleats that screw into the wall studs. The tops are laminated MDF, the same as the desktop.

I wanted to practice a couple of techniques with this project, hence the reason the drawers on both sides don't match. Gayle's side has the cabinet and single drawer which each half overlay the dustframe and my side consists of the 3 inset drawers. This desk was made on the cheap as well, another reason the grain direction for the 2 sides didn't match since I wanted to use what I had. I even had to glue-up a ply panel for the shelf on my side since I was missing a piece that was wide enough.

This was a fun project and it is already coming into great use. In hindsight, the desktop my have been a little to high at 30". It works good for browsing Lumberjocks but not so great when typing up documents for an extended about of time.

Thanks for looking!

Nice Partner's Desk. I like it!

For typing, you can get an articulating keyboard tray and mount it underneath the countertop. That should be just about the right height.

Thanks DS251! That's a pretty good idea. We'll have to look into that.

Awesome job! I love neat and tidy and also thrifty so this is definitely my kind of project. All it needs is a little wooden platform for the laptop user.

Thanks Vicki! Actually, the laptop should be able to sit flat one I figure out the keyboard situation.

Thanks Keyser! I'm not sure of the paint color. I think we just took a T-shirt to Home Depot and bought something that was pretty close. As for the canvas, I took that a few years ago, so that's going to be the only one out there (although there are probably hundreds just like it available).
