DIY Plywood Desk from 1 sheet | Basic Tools | How to

DIY this simple modern homeoffice desk or table with 1 sheet of plywood without a workshop and big power tools, using a circular saw, mitre saw, sander, electric drill. The dimension is 68(H) x 65(D) x 145(L) cm. This is a beginner and budget friendly build, it's my first time using the cirucular saw, so you can do it too!

Tools I used:
* Irwin clamps quick grip
* Bosch circular saw
* Mitre saw

Awesome stuff Melody! That outdoor table is the true VIP lol. Having that gap to cut down the plywood is so handy haha. Great job with the circular saw! The finished product is great!

All things considered (especially your measuring tape) this is truly

I've had this idea of making a table out of plywood rattling around in my I've never made one, basically have no woodworking skills....or of course I jumped down the youtube rabbit hole at 2 am looking for someone to explain to me how I might still accomplish my project. And I found your video. I loved this video a lot! Not only did your improvised setup and 'tweaks' of the original plans to work with what you had, look EXACTLY like what I'll have to do, but you made some important points and callouts that are really going to help me. Thank you thank you thank you for making this video 💕

Awesome desk. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight.

You are my new Hero! I love seeing other people figure out ways to do things when there are obstacles (not having all the tools) and modifing designs. I actually LOVE the legs on this, even better than the inspiration piece.

Oh I hadn't even thought of using an extending table for clearance. I just got a free second-hand extendable IKEA table and I'm converting it to a workbench. I can use this too for circular saw cutting. Great idea!

[DandDHenry]

Simple, clean look, inexpensive and easy to make via your video. Thank you Melody

[connordavies]

Just got some marine ply leftover after building a shower for a customer, I'm going to take inspiration from you and make something too.
Your work is excellent and with realistic tools. You should be extremely proud of yourself that desk is solid as a rock!

[kitsuiam]

What else could we achieve with one sheet of plywood????...thath would be the next to vid ....keep up

[mikecolo]

Really nice adaptation of the design. The split legs add a unique touch and solidify the structure. I also appreciate how you sparingly glued to salvage more of the off cuts. The Four Eyes reference was awesome!

I am very impressed with your creative use of minimal tools. Well done.
