Beautiful anniversary desk
With all the business involved in running a home, it's no wonder most of us run out of space to handle the paperwork. We do the monthly bills at the kitchen table, spread out tax forms after the dinner dishes have been cleared away, and commandeer the kitchen counter for everything from sorting mail to reconciling the checkbook. But, if coffee cup rings on your important papers is not part of the image you'd like to project, it may be time to bring your woodworking skills to bear on the problem--it may be time to build a desk.
 
Bic Pen Upgrade
I use a Nova chuck with the small (25 mm) jaws and grip the piece of wood (about 1/2? square) firmly, but aligned so that the tailcenter is at about center of the other end. I clamp down tight and screw in the tail center to support it properly.
 
Build an Office Desk
While we designed this work center to complement our executive desk, with four drawers and just over 12 sq. ft. of work surface, it's a handsome and functional desk in its own right. This elegant piece is ready to tackle your basic storage
 
Building a Built-in desk
Home repair expert Henry Harrison shows a guest how to build a simple desk in the nook of a bedroom. On his elbow grease scale of one to four, Harrison gives this job a three.
 
Candle and Desktop Pencil Holder Sconce
Here?s an attractive, early American style wall sconce that?s universal enough in its design to fit well with practically any home decor. Information courtesy of Shopsmith Inc.
 
Car Computer Stand
I realize that this project is not for everybody but there maybe some of you wanting to mount your notebook computer in your car. I searched the web for a computer stand for my car and everything I found was over $150. A lot of them were targeted at police and emergency vehicles and therefore got top dollar. I went to the hardware store and just sort of looked around until something jumped out at me.
 
Chalk Board
Here?s a nifty weekend project that will give the kids a great place to exercise their artistic talents, practice their math and leave important messags for parents, as well.

Claiming - Portable Pen
This leaflet gives construction details for a small claiming pen. All pen panels are similar except that some are 1.2 m (4 ft) long and others are 1.5 m (5 ft) long. Different-sized pens can be quickly arranged by clipping panels together. A 1.2 x 1.2 m (4 x 4 ft) pen is adequate for an ewe and her young after lambing. However, if the pen is used for lambing as well, it should be enlarged to 1.2 x 1.5 m (4 x 5 ft) or 1.5 x 1.5 m (5 x 5 ft)
 
Comptuer - One Sheet Desk
I had to come up with my own design. Something simple & quick. Something that didn?t require specialized tools, or experience. If you have more experience & tools than I do, this might not be the plan for you. But if you are like me, you want something simple, sturdy & inexpensive, this is how I did it.

Computer - Childrens Table Desk
Children with physical challenges can often benefit from time spent on the computer. It is a space where they have power and are equal to everyone else. They may however need a special computer table built just for their needs. This Child?s Computer Table is solid, inexpensive, and can be adjusted in height to accommodate the child as she or he grows. It is easy to build with simple tools and can be build in one weekend for less than $140. It features a solid core door table top, a low keyboard shelf, and solid, adjustable legs. The legs are in two parts that can be unbolted and adjusted in height over eight inches in one inch steps.
 
Computer - Corner Door Desk
 
Computer - Door and File Desk
You can make one of the classic modern American desks by simply placing a door on the top of two two-drawer filing cabinets. It is large, simplicity itself to make, and easy to move. It has been a favorite with American students for 40 years.

Unfortunately it has a number of short coming that make it unsatisfactory for a low-stress computer desk. The surface is much too high for a keyboard. The desk is too big for most dorm rooms. The filing cabinets are expensive, take up leg room, and who needs two anyway.
