Hello all!
Today I've started work on my new desk, this will be replacing an Ikea galant corner desk.
This post will serve as a mini build log (should be a few days long). All photos sponsored by Samsung S2
.
Specifications of desk:
The desk
Making the framework
Firstly I had to mark out the framework for fixing to the walls, this will be what the desk rests on out of sight.
Forgot to allow for the thickness of the backplate for the side brackets
derp.
Bench saw soon fixed that
Drilled the initial pilots for the back/side brackets
Next had to mark out the notches for the steel support to sit in
Then sawed and chiseled out the notches
