Writing Desk Step-by-Step Instructions1. Cut 1-3/4" square stock to a length of about 30" to begin making the legs (A). 2. Lathe-turn each leg to the profile shown in the drawing, and sand each leg with 220-grit sandpaper before removing from the lathe. 3. Trim each leg to a final length of 28-1/4". 4. Lay out and mark the location of the various mortises centered along the 13/4" leg width. NOTE: The top mortises measure 1/2" wide x 4-3/8" long x 1" deep while the bottom mortises measure 1/2' wide x 1-1/4" long x 1" deep. 5. Use a 1/2" diameter drill bit and, being sure to keep the bit square to the edge, drill a series of holes to remove the waste stock from each mortise. 6. Use a chisel to clean up the remaining waste stock. 7. Cut the two side aprons (B) and the back apron (C) to length and width. 8. Lay out and mark each tenon on the aprons carefully. 9. Equip the table saw with a dado-head cutter. 10. Raise the dado-head cutter to a height of 1/8. 11. Use the miter gauge and, with the 5" wide side down, pass the stock over the cutter to establish the 1" tenon length. 12. Make a second pass to clean up the remaining material. 13. Flip the stock over and repeat the process on the other side. 14. Check for a good fit-up on the leg mortise. 15. Cut the 1/8" step on the bottom edge. 16. Raise the cutter height to 1/2' to cut the 1/2" step on the top edge. 17. Select 3/4" stock to begin making parts D, E, and F for the lower drawer opening. 18. Cut parts D to 1" wide x 35" long. 19. Cut parts E to 3" wide x 3-1/2" long. 20. Cut part F to 3" wide x 2" long. 21. Edge-glue part F at the centerpoint (measured along the length) of part D. 22. Allow the glue to dry. 23. Measure 13" in each direction (see drawing). 24. Edge-glue parts E in place. 25. Allow the glue to dry. 26. Trim each part E to 3" long, resulting in an overall length of 34" for parts D. 27. Cut the tenon on each end using the same procedure used to cut parts B and C. |
