How I constructed this espresso desk

This espresso desk was a little bit of a problem for me, however I loved constructing on my abilities and creating one thing I used to be tremendous pleased with in the long run. Do not try this mission with out the appropriate instruments and a very good quantity of building expertise. That is a sophisticated mission.

Right here is the wooden I began with. I ran the boards by means of the desk noticed to create the sq. edges. My 1x12s ended up measuring 11-1/8″ vast – simply ensure that all 1×12 widths are the identical. The 1x3s I really tore from 1×6 boards to get that sq. edge.

After testing my noticed, I reduce the entrance body boards first. I’m utilizing a ten” sliding miter noticed. That is the smallest noticed I’d advocate, a 12″ would work finest.

Listed below are the face body items reduce out.

I then drilled 3/4″ pocket holes into the ends of the shorter face body boards. I used to be cautious to not let any pocket holes present by means of the aspect edges of the face body boards.

I then hooked up the entrance body plates and secured with 1-1/4″ pocket screws.

The 2 face frames should match EXACTLY.

Now for the 1x12s.

It was really a problem to make the 45 diploma bevel cuts on the noticed, the 1x12s wished to maneuver on me as I reduce. Double-check your cuts and ensure they’re straight right through.

Listed below are the 2 essential items. I made pocket holes to safe the 2 items collectively and in addition pocket holes to connect to the face frames.

After becoming a member of the 2 1×12 items, I hooked up it to one of many face frames.

Then I repeated these steps for the 2 aspect panels.

Then I hooked up the second face body.

For the corners, I nailed with 1-1/4″ brad nails.

On the underside of the highest shelf (and in a while the underside shelf) I added 1×2 brackets to assist assist the middle of the espresso desk.

Then I reduce out the underside items, joined them collectively after which fitted them inside the 2 face frames and hooked up them to the espresso desk.

Inside components are pockets of 1x12s drilled collectively and snapped into place.

I had to make use of a screw to assist me get the panel again in place once I was adjusting it (see the screw within the prime left nook?). Then I eliminated the screw.

I nailed the inside panels along with 1-1/4″ brad nails.

Development is completed!

It took about 3 hours so far.

I stuffed the few nail holes with wooden putty. I additionally stuffed within the corners that ended up with small gaps.

Then sanded with 120 grit sandpaper within the path of the grain of the wooden.

I painted the whole mission with Varathane “Golden Oak”. It wasn’t proper…

Then I added a layer of thinned white paint,

Wiping it in and out in a really gentle layer. Significantly better!

To guard the end and maintain it clear, I added a layer of clear polyurethane.

This espresso desk wasn’t simple to construct, however it was price it!! I ended up spending about 8 hours on this and $150 on wooden. It is stunning and I am very proud to have the ability to tackle such an awesome mission.
