This is based on the OpenDesk Studio Desk design. The desktop width was reduced from the original by about 3" (to 60" total), so that it would fit in the back seat of my pickup truck. I organized the components in SVG files containing one or two pieces, so that it's easier to lay out for cutting with a track saw, and for fitting on odd sized sheet stock. Note that each leg file doesn't make a specific leg, rather the parts are grouped to limit waste. 1. Use the SO to cut the corners and curved segments, interior cuts, and holes. Then use the track saw to cut the long linear segments. You will have to use a chisel a bit to finish the pocket cuts on the cable channels. 2. Insert dowel pins, glue and clamp the leg pieces together. The dowel holes are a little shorter than the specified dowels, so just cut the pins to a suitable length. 3. Glue the tray together. 4. The cable channel covers do not have SVG files, since these parts are so simple and do not need to be cut with the SO. Just rip a strip of 18mm BB, and cut 45 degree angles on each end. You will probably have to sand them down a bit to fit in the channels. 5. Sand and test fit. 6. Finish with your choice of treatment. Wipe-on water-based polyurethane works well. *** Don't add finish to either the rails or the joints where the rails fit into the legs, nor for the tray hooks, otherwise they will be overly tight. *** 7. Assemble. You may still need to sand the parts a bit to get them to fit together, depending on the actual thickness of your BB. Tip: Leave the Shaper Tape on the desktop until after adding hardware and doing a test fit, so that you can return to fix anything that you missed. Extra credit: Ease the bottom edge of the desktop with a 45 degree chamfer router bit. See the included OpenDesk Assembly Guide. The original OpenDesk files are included.
