A New Desk for Kevin

 

I have been searching for a new desk for Kevin since we moved in here. He doesn't want anything fancy, just an open bottom, and an extra long top.

 

I could only find a couple of custom desks that fit the criteria, and they were over $800.

 

Terry said "Bull #*&@! I will build him one myself".

 

The wood for the frame cost $40.00

 

The top cost $40.00

 

There he is, putting the frame together.

 

Looking good...

 

Painted the frame with leftover Beige paint from when we painted Kevin's room, and he used a dark Ebony stain (left over from Sandy's nightstand redo) on the top, and then a thousand coats of polyurethane, to give it a nice smooth sheen.

 

Oops, had to stop, to put together a ping pong table for Christmas...

 

The desk is done. We had to bring in the top and bottom separately, and here is Terry attaching the top.

 

There it is... back to business as usual.

 

Another happy customer.
