Whether you want to build a desk for your office or a home work station in your kids room, you won't get very far with out a good set of desk woodworking plans.
I am an avid woodworker and I have a real passion for making stuff. Now I am not the greatest craftsmen in the world but I have found with the right plan I can make just about anything. I have built a couple of desks and they can be kind if tricky.
The first one I made I had real trouble getting the drawers to line up the way I wanted them, if only I knew what I know now; the right desk woodworking plans makes all the difference! I did finish the first desk but I wasn't exactly what you would call proud of it.
I remember the day I was introduced to the online wood project library that I use now. I was so intrigued with the fact that they claimed to have more than 14,000 individual plans in their library (which is true by the way), that I had to buy them. First of all they weren't that expensive, and secondly there was a money back guarantee so if I did not like them I could return them.
Anyway, I just finished this desk so the first thing I did was look to see what their desk plans looked like. There were more than 20 different designs to choose from and there was one design that was very similar to the one I just made.
I was amazed when I looked at the plan and saw that they detailed the exact issue I had so much trouble with. If i had these before I built that desk I would not have had any trouble; live and learn.
There were so many different projects that I decided to build a shed in my back yard before I did anything else. After all, now that I had a lifetime of woodworking projects I needed a better shop to do the work in - but this article is about building desks.
When I was ready to go again with the desk I looked at all the different desk woodworking plans available and picked one that was very different from the first one I made. This one was more of an executive type desk with drawer banks semi hidden and on both sides.
I took the material and hardware lists that came with this particular set of desk woodworking plans and got everything I needed - total cost of material and hardware: $377.00.
It took me 3 days to build it, stain it, and finish it. At the time it was the nicest piece I had ever made and I attribute that mostly to very cool plans I used. Not only that it was my easiest project to date, which is weird because it had a high degree of difficulty.
