A Desk Plans ProjectOak or mahogany are the most suitable woods to use for this desk plans project. -The general dimensions are: 48 inch high, 34 inch wide and 14 inch deep. If the shelves are made without the extensions for the pins, the width is 30 inch. The dimensions and shape of the sides are clearly shown in the illustration. The extra width at the center and bottom can be obtained by gluing strips 2 inch wide onto a board 12 inch wide, using care to match the grain at the joints. The outer sides are spaced 30 inch apart. The top and lower shelf are 34 inch long and 12 inch wide. The ends are cut out to form lugs 2 3/4 inch long and 2.5 inch wide, the outer edges of each lug being 1.5 inch from the edges. Holes are cut in these lugs for pins, after fitting to the holes in the sides and marking the exact positions of the holes. The pins are 3 inch long, 3/4 inch wide, 7/8 inch thick at top, 5/8 inch thick at the bottom ends. On the under side of the back edge of the top, cut a rabbet 1/2 inch wide and deep for the backing. The shelf over the drawer is 29 inch logn and 13.5 inch wide. Grooves about 1/4 inch deep are cut in the sides to receive the ends of this shelf, leaving about 1 inch at the front without the groove. The ways for the drawer consist of a frame of strips 2.5 inch wide, with halved joints. Grooves are also cut in the sides for this frame, which is the same size as the shelf above. The drop lid, for this desk plans project, is 28.5 inch long and 16 inch wide and will have to be glued up from two pieces, the grain of which should be nicely matched, as it is the most conspicuous part of the desk. Cleats 2 inch wide and 8/8 inch thick will have to be fitted to the ends on the inner side, to prevent warping. The pigeon holes at the top are made up separately from the desk and put in place with screws. Mapale 1/4 inch thick and 10 inch wide is used throughout. The top and bottom pieces are 28 inch long, and the two end pieces 6 1/4 inch long, the four division pieces 5 3/4 inch long, and the shelf at the center 11 inch long. Small wood screws 5/8 inch long should be used throughout for fastening together, except the center shelf, which is put in with wire finish brads 3/4 inch long. The two pieces at the ends of this shelf should be put on before they are fastened in on this desk plans project. The back is sheathed with matched sheathing 1/2 inch thick which should be well seasoned to prevent opening up cracks. The drawer is 28.5 inch long, 13 inch wide and 4 1/4 inch deep. The lid is attached to the shelf with brass hinges recessed into both lid and shelf. A lock is also fitted to the top edge, the tongue plate being fitted to the under side of the top shelf. A lock and drop handles are also fitted to the drawer for this desk plans project.
