Putting me in the same category as blond haired geeks is unfair all the blonds and geeks out there. You should be ashamed, Larry.

I've got a steel desk at home (old government surplus) with two pull-out panels that would prove those statements wrong. They've not been pushed in for years, since all the stuff that's on them would fall to the floor.

Well then, how do you get into the drawers? I need to get into my desk drawers, so they must go in.

No, no, no.... quite the opposite. Are you misunderstanding me?

Nope, I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about building a separate table for a desk. That is one that always gets cluttered up.

hey jeff, this looks great, i really like the overall design.

the only thing that catches my eye at the moment is that I liked the sides better before, as flat panels. i think it flowed better with the leg design.

I have been sort of back and forth on that too. I tend to agree with you Chris. I was also thinking that if I could use plywood on this I could keep the cost down. I prefer solid wood but it would be much simpler on this desk and I think I could still keep the look I want with solid wood top and doors.

Which leads to what wood to use. I have some Walnut and Cherry in the shop. I was thinking of using the walnut since I have a bit more of it. My local lumber yard only has birch ply but I have a United Plywood company within driving distance so I could probably get some maple ply. It would simpler if I could use birch but I can't fined any solid birch to make the doors with.

hi again jeff!
looks like the internet is holding up finally, and here is the pic of the idea i mentioned...
