My kid’s school is starting back online in September and she’d asked her Mom if she could have some kind of desk so she could do her work away from her little sister to not get distracted or frustrated helping her.
She picked out some she liked online, and they weren’t complicated so I figured I could knock it out over the weekend. Sixty bucks at HD and some stuff I already had in the shop (aka, garage), and about 10 hours later she’s got a desk. The finish needs to cure a little longer, but otherwise it’s done.
