Default Oak Desk

Took a popular mechanics plan and modified it a little. My first real major project.

JD,
Looks like it turned out very nice, first project or not. Good job. Now time to load it up and get to (paper)work.

Thanks all, I should clarify, its my first furniture project of any size. Ive done a few little things here and there. I used to frame houses, and do drywall. Never really had the patience to do finish work/furniture work. Guess with age im getting a little more patient. I have a few more projects upcoming.

That's an awesome looking desk. I saw the same plans on Pop Mech but the desk looked a little too big for what I need. What are the dimensions of yours? Yours looks a lot like what I'd want to build.
