The two smaller X pieces are cut at 20 degrees on the outside and 20 degrees on the sides that are attached to the longer X piece, but again the degrees could vary.Īttach the left leg with the middle leg by attaching the three (43 ½”) 2x4s with 2 ½" pocket hole screws and glue. The longer X piece should be cut at 35 degrees, but could vary by a degree or two. Again every time is slightly different with the degrees. Measure the 2x4 to your assembled square for a more accurate fit.
Attach the 2x4 X pieces with 2 ½" pocket hole screws with wood glue. Now you'll be doing the x for the left side of the desk. The two smaller X pieces should be cut around 20 degrees on the outside and 20 degrees on the sides attached to the longer X piece, with the degrees varying. The longer X piece should be cut around 35 degree, but the degrees could vary. Every single time is different but the degrees are around the same. For best fit, measure the 1x4 to your assembled square. Attach the 1x4 X pieces to the plywood and legs using glue and your nail gun. Repeat the step for the other two sides of the desk.Īttach the (2) 19x21.25" plywood to two of the sides with 1 ¼" pocket hole screws and glue. Either way, you can't go wrong with a version of this DIY farmhouse desk.Īttach the 2x4 legs (31.25") to the 2x4 pieces (19") with a Kreg Jig on the 1 ½" setting, using 2 ½" pocket hole screws to with wood glue. If you like the open shelving, then I suggest going to Handmade Heaven's example. The dimensions are exactly the same as Handmade Heavens, but the right side of the desk is closed in for the drawers. So I set to work and loved how it turned out. The one caveat was she wanted drawers instead of open shelving and wanted one of the drawers to be able to house filing folders. I sent her a few different desk options and she settled on the farmhouse desk inspired by Handmade Heaven. At that point I had never built a desk so jumped at the opportunity. Well that same person needed a desk for their house office and wondered if I could build it. You may remember I shared an X Side Table back in the day. However with this particular farmhouse desk, it wasn't for us. If you walked through our house, you would think Joanna Gaines worked on the house herself. As I've mentioned in the past, our love of Fixer Upper made us realized we really do like that style. You can easily customize it by adding sliding drawers or open shelves.Īlmost every piece of furniture I've made to date has had a farmhouse theme. This farmhouse desk is simple to make but a great addition to any house office.
