How's this for a first desk built?

[mozirry]

I'm like Bob Villa's retarted cousin.

Really wanted a L shaped desk but didn't have the $$$$. Used my old kitchen table I am not using anymore for a computer desk (desk on right that you can't see) and then wanted some type of L shape for an office area and I really like those bookshelf/desk designs.

Anyway, a few sheets of plywood and cheap pine trim later. Voila! The perfect office. Just need some stain and I'm good to go. I also have some decorative designs I'm going to glue into the wood legs to add some nice ambience.

Desk corner you see on right normally sits flush with the extension out of the bookshelf that I built.

Wow, that's pretty mozirry, I hope you've taken good care of it and continue to do so!

well, that pic doesn't do the piano very well. It's actually an inherited beat-down from relatives but I actually am fond of it. It has real beautiful woodwork but the keys are visibly beaten and it needs a tune badly

It does have some nice woodwork mozirry; take your time and work on the issues one at a time and I'll bet that it'll turn out as something that you'll pass on to your kids someday and they'll be as fond of it as you are

Because OP knows how to safely play with electrical wiring, not to mention how a fridge may work.

or do you mean a cooler that you continuously put ice in?

Looks good. :thumbsup:

Though I would have flipped the plywood panel and went for a better finish on that right end. But it's pretty darn good for a retarded cousin.
