Monkwood DIY Desk Plans BETA version
Here's an 'as is' DIY desk with supplies and dimensions and some instructions. Fill in the blanks creatively and or consult a woodworker to create your own until full version is released. My client building schedule has been very intense and I have less help in the shop these days due to COVID. I aim to keep chipping away at these plans for release3 in the new year. For those who would like to get started I have made these BETA plans available. Thanks for your patience and interest in this project! Sincerely, Monk Please tag you pics with #monkwoodDIYdesk
