Introduction

Building your own computer desk is a great way to save money and get a desk that is customized to your needs. This project is also relatively easy to do, even for beginners. In this blog post, I will walk you through the steps on how to build a computer desk with a slide-out drawer.

Materials List

• 2 sheets of ¾" plywood (for the top and bottom)

o This is the most important part of the desk, as it will support all of your weight and equipment. Make sure to choose plywood that is strong and durable.

• 4 pieces of 2x4 (for the legs)

o These will provide support for the desk and keep it from wobbling.

• 2 pieces of 2x2 (for the braces)

o These will help to strengthen the frame of the desk.

• 1 sheet of ¼" plywood (for the drawer)

o This is the material that will make up the drawer itself.

• 1 set of drawer slides

o These will allow the drawer to slide in and out smoothly.

• Wood glue
