Making My Desk (Design, Installation + Desk Tour)

In this video I share the design and installation process of my DIY desk project. I take you through the book that inspired me and share some lessons learned along the way. This furniture project took me quite a while to make but I learned so much during the process.
Do you have a furniture project in mind? I'd recommend checking out Enzo Mari's seminal Autoprogettazione as a great starting point for inspiration.

Very cool! I was eyeing up this desk in the book myself. How much do you think it cost in materials?

[@simon_harrington]

Glad you enjoyed the video Joseph! I built this quite a few years ago so can't remember what I spent. I went for the cheapest possible materials! You'll probably be able to get a quick idea by searching for a sheet of ply, some cheap timbers and screws on your local builder's merchant website. As a learning experience, making the desk, was invaluable! Good luck with it!
