There weren't many materials to buy, because the desk is so simple--I bought a large piece of sanded oak at Menard's (I believe it was ~$55), four 2x4's (~$8 each--they used to be $3, but the cost of lumber has gone up so much since COVID!), stain (~$7). I already had oil-based white paint for the legs, wood glue, screws, sandpaper, and wood filler, so the cost for me was Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534758066038264937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-90317417353100153832020-10-24T02:55:36.761-04:002020-10-24T02:55:36.761-04:00I'm completely blown away!

Nor is this machine designed to do this. There is just too much potential for slop when you're relying on your hand as a gauge.<br /><br />In your case, you have a table saw and can use that. To make these cuts, make sure the blade, the table and fence are at 90 degrees to each other according to the markingschrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539146125496805108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-25300409460404810932020-10-02T15:14:30.092-04:002020-10-02T15:14:30.092-04:00Awesome job Katie!

I'm always afraid of cutting my fingers off with the table saw. I saw a shirt on Amazon that I thought was hilarious--It said Rock Paper Scissors Table Saw and had a picture of the hand motions for "Rock Paper Scissors". For the table saw, it showed a hand held up missing four fingers at the second knuckle, hahaha. <br /><br />I Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534758066038264937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-91240670772524951642020-10-02T11:44:12.548-04:002020-10-02T11:44:12.548-04:00The desk looks fantastic!

Fun fact, my husband cut his pointer finger off on his left hand right above the second knuckle with a chop saw doing finish work when he first got in the trades at 21.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539146125496805108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-16115159898735683862020-10-02T09:50:51.721-04:002020-10-02T09:50:51.721-04:00It looks absolutely perfect!
