Tip from someone who likes mounting power strips to desks. Check where you plan on putting your desk in relation to the plug in the wall. I've had to remount enough power strips because the desk was a foot too far away for the cord. Or you have to buy a new power strip with a ridiculously longer cord that you have to coil up and hide. So mounting in the center may not be the best place depending on where you put the desk in relation to the plug you intend to use.
What a simple & efficient build. Very well done with the instructions. And I work for a Global Furniture Manufacturer (Swedish) hint hint & we have a minimum 28 day turn around time to get any type of desks in stock at the Hub let alone getting them to the stores!!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
I enjoy complex and challenges in projects... The harder it is the more satisfactory I get when it's complete. I do like this desk though...the finish looks great and the style fits a desk design with a clean and simple look... sometimes the simple look is better!! I also with have to try your oil and sanding trick... I have not tried that yet. 💪
How does the hinge bit work in regards to pilot hole depth? Would a 6 foot version on this desk require major modifications? Could it be taken apart and reassembled to move (awkward door placements in my apartment)? Thanks for all the videos & hope you have a productive 2021.
The hinge bit has an adjustment to allow you to set the depth of the drill bit. As for a 6 foot desk, yes the plan can be modified to allow for that - you will need 2 sheets of plywood for the project. And yes, it can be disassembled and reassembled by undoing the screws. Cheers. Scott

Thank you. I hope this is helpful to allow people to build their own desks. Scott
Nice minimalist design! Very approachable project. Bonus: It also looks great.
Thanks, I appreciate that! Scott
