Space saving office desk made of scaffolding wood.

Only a few planks are needed to make a spacious desk which does not occupy a lot or room.
Make this desk from scaffolding planks or reclaimed wood.
Since you will be working at this desk you will have to sand the surface to a very smooth texture.
Give the planks some protection like white wash or a two colored grey wash finish.

Ofcourse you can also use these examples to create extra space in your kitchen or dining room.
Scaffolding wood is a very versatile material.
Use these planks to make your own tables, chairs, beds and benches.

Wall mounted desk for study and office.

We will not supply a list with the lengths of planks to cut.
Each bureau will me made to different sizes, for that reason a cutting list would be obsolete.
Have a good look at these pictures and read our basic explanation below these construction pictures.

Finishing the details for your homemade office desk.

Connect the planks to your wall wherever possible.
Angled iron with a series of holes is the most appropiate material for these connections.
Another option are metal angles for shelving.
Make sure that you make a good support on the long side as well as on the short side of the table surface.

Tips for your homemade office desk.

1. Combine the wood with scaffold tubes.
   This gives more strength to your desk and it gives a great industrial feel to your furniture.
2. Make one or two holes for cables of office equipment.
   A hole cutter makes this a very easy task and your study will look a lot tidier.
3. Attach a multi plug socket below the table, this keeps most cables out of sight.
4. Slightly round the edge of the tabletop with a router or belt sander.
   This will prevent irritation on your arms from scuffing at a sharp tabletop edge.
