In reply to Ivory Jean. I have to give the welding credit to my Hubby who is so good! I'm slowly slowly learning, haha.

I love this project. I love how you sitting in deep thought, great idea! You are so lucky to have had a grandpa who taught you how to welder things . You listen, watched, and learned well, because you did an excellent job here. Thank you so much for this post. Your desk is fabulous.

In reply to Anonymous. We used it for three years and have since sold it. But while we used it, it held up perfectly. No warping or problems. I think the boards were laminated together well (smiles and frowns, etc). Great question!

So simple yet elegant, I'm inspired! How is that table top holding up? Have you had any problem with warping, given that the top is made out of spruce/pine/fir? Keep up the good work!

This is wonderful! It's simple and minimal but it's really appealing. We especially like the glossy table, which you've waited a lot for. Anyways, great job!

In reply to David. That's a great idea! I'd have to check to make sure the plugs would fit through the tubing. I'm selling this desk but I'll be sure to recommend your idea to the gal who is buying it. If I had thought of that when we bought the supplies, I could have picked out larger tubing that could accommodate the plugs.

Could you run the electrical cords through the hollow tubing of the desk?

In reply to Jeanette West. Welding is SO tricky! I was also thinking that some readers might not have access to the equipment but might like the style of the desk. Someone who already is set up for making wood cuts, etc., could make a similar style using their own expertise.
