I had outgrown my old desk....needed better drawer space. Went out and picked up a good supply of Ash lumber....and some 1x Pine boards....needed a plan, besides the one in me head....Single Brain Cell Sketch Up.....then try out a few paper sketches..

needed something a wee bit better than this, though..

getting there...

Might be able to work from this one...need 3 such "panels" one for each side of the drawer unit, and the third as a "leg" for the other end of the knee hole...
Lumber supply...at least the Ash parts..

Might be enough...the Pine will be for the insides of the drawers....sides and backs. So far, the "plan" is to build the 3 side panels.....then connect them into the drawer unit, and the knee hole unit...then see about the top.....once that is done, I will see about a "hutch"....have a lot of parts to get milled down,,

Have a few slabs to cut down..
Computer Desk Project, parts is parts.JPG
As those 3 side panels will be a Frame & Raised Panel sort of thing.....Raised panels done with a few hand planes, at that. With the "inside" of the raised panel flush with the frame.
Means I need 12 blanks milled down to close to the sizes I need..
Computer Desk Project, 11 more panels jointed.JPG
One more to go.....cross cut for length, ripped and jointed for width, and picked for the best grain...
Computer Desk Project, show side.JPG
At least on the sides that will show.
This MIGHT take a few episodes....as this isn't Norm's New Yankee Workshop....anyone feel like following along?
