![]() This ⅛ to ¼” rise will be what the drawer glides over. Offset the center glide so it is about ⅛- ¼” above the fronts of the drawer frame. The center mark should be 16 ½” - so there should be 15 ¾” from one end of the long drawer frame to the □ glide. To make this, drill two ¾” pocket and u□ □ either end of the other 33” 1×2 board and all three 17 ¼” 1×2 u frame)when’s, attach one of the 17 ¼” boards with the other up, at the u mark, using 1 ¼” pocket hole screws. ![]() In order for the drawer to keep from wobbling back and forth, a center glide is needed. Step 5 option 2 is very confusing – I wonder if the text got corrupted? I can’t figure out all the “up!” symbols or the part with the parenthesis “frame)when’s,” Here’s the text in full, hoping you can clarify please: I moved the bookcase into the closet and now the boys have a quiet place do to homework!īack to School, eHow, Furniture Building, Gallery, Photography and Staging, Tutorials I also love the airy-ness of this desk and how visually ‘light’ it is for this small room, especially compared to the navy bookcase that was there before. So the styling I did for the desk is actually how it looks and is more real-life than a typical staged furniture makeover I have done in the past. So I actually studied their styling for a bit and was really digging how they made things looked a bit lived-in and almost messy, but in a beautiful way. When I was setting the desk up in the boy’s room, I just got the Land of Nod catalog in the mail with all their back-to-school desks. I’m so proud of the desk mostly because it includes my first EVER drawer! I’m not a huge fan of metal glides, so I created my own wood glides for this, based on the same design that all the antique dressers that I have been refinishing for years, have. It added just the hint of warmth back to the wood. The stain is mostly the Weathered Gray stain by Rustoleum, but it was just a tad too gray for me so I dipped the same rag that had the the gray stain on it, into a bit of Special Walnut stain by Minwax and rubbed it right on top. I’m really into the ‘X’ themed furniture lately and there is more coming! This desk is exactly 3 feet across but the drawer is larger and it has the little bookshelf by the feet, so the size is PERFECT for a small space like a dorm-room! I think I spent a total of $50, not including cost of pulls on materials for this build! I saw a desk very similar to this one on Overstock, but decided to make my version of it. I was super bummed because I felt like this summer went by TOO fast! I miss having all the kiddos home and the weather still feels like summer! So with school starting, I decided to get my second back-to-school project under-way: a desk for the boy’s room! I built a small desk from a kitchen cabinet face for my pre-school aged daughter HERE and we got a beautiful desk for our master bedroom HERE, so the boys were definitely deserving. Screws should be positioned every 6 to 8 inches on the brace's long edge and two or three screws on each end going into the desk's side boards.Last week school started around these parts. Because of this, pocket hole screws should be positioned on each side of the brace to ensure strength.ĭetermine your brace's positioning, stand it on its long edge in place, mark, and pre-drill pocket hole screws accordingly using a pocket hole jig.
