DIY sawhorse desk

Need a desk? Make yourself one. It sounds easy in theory but the majority of people would rather just go buy one from a store than even trying to make one. In reality it’s not just a difficult project. In fact, there is one design that doesn’t even require using a hammer or a single nail. You might think it’s impossible, but just to convince you it’s true we’re going to show you how.

First you’ll need to gather some supplies. Nothing too fancy, just a tabletop, some sawhorse brackets, wood stain and sandpaper. You can buy the tabletop of take it from an old table that you no longer need. You can also use plywood. The legs can also come from an old piece of furniture is they have the size and shape you need. If not, you can cut them to 27.25’’. The crossbars should be two piece of wood cut to 23’’. These dimensions can be adjusted to your own needs.

At first, sand the tabletop and then stain it. After that, take a clean rag and wipe up the excess. If you want your desk to have a rustic look you don’t have to be precise. It needs to have a weathered look anyway. Optionally, you can also apply a coat of sealant. Next, just slip the wood into the brackets. There should be two holes for the legs and a space for the cross bar. Then just add the tabletop and your desk is done.{found on brooklynlimestone}.
