Wood Desk
Here is a simple wood desk that you can make for around $200.
Sand & Stain Wood
I purchased a glued pine 6ft by 2ft board from a local hardware store for around $30. I sanded it down, stained it a driftwood color (about 3 coats), and then applied a Polycrylic finish. I did this because I wanted a completely smooth and even tabletop for setting a computer on it.
Apply Plumber Hardware for Landing Gear
I decided to go with 3/4 inch steel piping for the legs. You can make these into whatever height you'd like. I also love the fact that when I move again someday, I can just take the legs off and move the desk very easily.
Parts:
12 x 3/4″ black flanges (feet)
12 3" Pipes ¾” Black Iron
4 90 Degree Elbow Pipes ¾” Black Iron
8 T Pipes ¾” Black Iron
6 10" Pipes ¾” Black Iron
2 18" Pipes ¾” Black Iron
32 ¾" Length Screws
This definitely was the most expensive part of the desk. This in total cost around $175.
P.S. - I also didn't realize how dirty my hands would get! Made it look even more impressive to my wife.
Mission Accomplished
Insert computer, lamp, old camera, and grenade on top of desk and you are completed.
