To laminate the boards for the chunky legs, I utilized glue to not less than one board then laid one different board on excessive of it.

Flip the desk the opposite approach up and fasten the foot pads, to the highest of each foot, with 1 1/4″ brad nails and wood glue. I used my Ryobi 18 gauge Airstrike nailer.
Flip the desk once more over and decrease the short craft board objects to dimension. Apply wood glue
and fasten them to the underside and excessive physique of the desk. Use 1 1/4″ brad nails. The craft boards will doubtless be flush with the legs and every facet of the legs might have a craft board, apart from the inside.
