gether to form the Greek key part of the end assembly. I had to clean the glue squeeze-out at the joints and pare the wood down in a couple places with a chisel to get a tight fit. If your pieces don't come together tightly, your joints will not be strong. For the next assembly, put two glue-up jigs at a right angle. This makes the glue-up of the two legs (F) to the Greek key assembly easy to keep square. Glue the F4 and F5 pieces to the tops of each leg. Use a stop block to keep the pieces even with the end of the F3 piece of each leg. The G pieces attach the two end assemblies together. It is easier to control gluing and alignment of the G1 pieces if they are glued into place one at a time, starting at the bottom and working up. Sanding and Finishing I used a random orbital sander, going up to 150 grit sandpaper. Break all the sharp edges with a sanding block using 150 grit sandpaper. For a top coat, I applied three coats of a clear finish. For the top I used a 1/2"-thick piece of 30" x 50" tempered glass polished on all edges. (To keep the glass in place, use six clear door bumpers applied to the top stretchers.) It wasn't until I completed this desk and had the glass top in place that I appreciated how striking it looked.
