A nostalgic lookback v / From Volume 16, at^plan^s pubhshed by Ddte^ / , No.5, 1946-47 Machinery shortly after s ' ' World War II. A 20th Century Desk Here is a small desk of modern design which presents slightly different lines, giving it a rare and unusual appearance. The desk is built from 13/16" birch or maple plywood. The edges of the plywood may be either painted to match the finish, or veneer facing may be glued in place to conceal the core wood. The construction details and complete dimensions are shown in the drawing. The drawer arrangement is different in that it has fronts that are set at a slight angle and a drawer pull which is divided in the middle to provide a pull for both the top and bottom drawer. This drawer pull is a lathe turning which may be built up either as a split turning or it may be cut in two after making a solid drawer pull. In making the side compartments which hold the two sets of drawers, be sure to make one right and one left hand. The feet and top spacers are then added to these end sections and are screw fastened as shown. The top spacers are first fastened to the underside of the top. The edges are then completed with either paint or veneer and you are ready for the finish, which is natural with white shellac or varnish. PW |
