For Christmas my daughter wanted a large desk. There were plenty of examples on Pinterest! A few referred to components you can purchase at Ikea. I did the research and looked at Ikea and well there was no way I was going to pay almost $300 for a desk.
So I did some more research, can’t be that hard to build a saw horse, well in our case we needed two. I found the easiest way to build a saw horse.
Saw horse brackets! All you do is cut your wood and place it in the slots, you don’t even have to angle cut!
You wouldn’t guess what I used for a desk top? A door!
