Sawhorse Desk Bases

Submitted by nrc261 on Wed, 10/14/2015 - 14:15

I needed new bases for my glasstop desk. I found the Sawhorse Leg Storage Desk and thought it would be perfect! I am a beginner and this was my first time cutting an angle like 5 degrees parallel and not paralell. The pictures in the instructions really helped me out with that. The units came together pretty easy and I decided to plank the shelves instead of using plywood (because I had scraps on hand and wanted to use those rather than cut plywood). I am a beginner and am still a little weary of using my circular saw too much, so planking the shelves was a better fit for my skill level. I think it turned out really good. I used white satin spray paint and got small clear plastic "bumpers" to pad the top where the glass sits on the bases.
