Cherry Computer Desk
Walking down the street last evening did you happen you pass by an antique shop? Did you notice an antique cherry desk in there? Of course you did, it is hard to miss something as good as that. Did the dark cherry color catch your fancy? Well if you are thinking so much about the desk that you saw last evening would not it be great if you can own a similar stuff? If the cost of purchasing an antique desk is too exorbitant for you then you need not be disheartened. You can easily build yourself a cherry computer desk and make working at the computer fun.
How will you make a computer cherry desk? First for the desktop you will need 1 ¾ inch by 30 inch by 46.5 inch of cherry wood sheet. To get a smooth surface you will have to sand the edges of the sheet. Then you will have to place the desktop face-down on your workbench. The next step is to attach 1 30inch by 30 inch sheet of cherry wood on both the sides of the desktop with the help of corner brackets. You will have to attach the brackets safely on all corners of the legs and desks and there will be eight brackets in total. Then you will have to turn the desk with the right side up and stand the legs.
Next step for making the computer cherry desk is to add a monitor shelf. For this you have to attach 1 inch by 4 inch cherry sheets at the bottom of a cherry shelf board measuring 12 inch by 24 inch. Then you will have to attach it on the top of your desk. You can add additional shelves in just about the same manner. Now you are almost done. For the smooth surface and look you will need to sand all the parts of the computer desk. If you want you can apply a stain on the desk and let it dry for 6 hours. Apply a second coat if necessary. You can also add a protective finish coat.
Now the cherry desk for you computer is ready and you can place the computer on the brand new desk and get to work. Just remember to dust the desk at least once every week so that dust does not settle on the fine details and the cracks. It would be great if you can apply fresh polish on your desk every 4 months. Remove all your stuffs from the desk and apply an even coating. When you are coating follow the manual minutely. Choose a polish without silicone or wax. So what are you waiting for? Make you own cherry computer desk and enhance the beauty of your workstation.
