The underside of this desk has quite a few 10-degree cuts. I made these using my Ridgid Miter Observed. They go into the Kreg Jig like this to make the pocket holes. For the underside, I used 1.5″ pocket holes and linked all of the issues with 2.5″ pocket hole screws.

A number of of my pocket holes had been on the inside of the desk as I mentioned.
At this degree, the underside is constructed and ready for the best. Proper right here is mine upside-down and capable of go!
I moreover used my Kreg Jig for the best, nonetheless I modified the settings. Because of the thickness of the best is manner decrease than the legs, I used 3/4″ pocket holes on 4 of the 5 boards. Each of the 4 boards have pocket holes working up one side.
I linked these things using 1.25″ pocket hole screws by the pocket holes and into the other board.
As quickly as the best is all linked, you are ready to attach it to your base. I merely laid the underside on excessive of the desk excessive. I used 1.25″ pocket hole screws by the pocket holes on the apron boards and into the best to hold all of it collectively and I was DONE. So stinking easy!!

I wanted mine to look a bit additional distressed, so I used Rust-Oleum decorative glaze on excessive of the stain as quickly because it dried. You merely brush this stuff on after which wipe the excess off. Work on one side at a time as a result of it does dry pretty shortly. It is also potential to find this at Residence Depot.
Proper right here she is all organize!
