Borodach & FlatQueen

I was just thinking about how we could take a plain piece of wood and turn it into a sleek, functional desk with just a few glues and clean geometry. What do you think?

Sure, wood and glue can make a nice desk, but you gotta sand it smooth first, line up the cuts, and use a good joint. Glue will hold the pieces, but add some screws or dowels if it’s a heavy surface. Just keep the geometry clean and the surface flat. That’s the best way to make it sturdy and sleek.

Nice, I’ll keep the cuts tight and the joints tight‑tight, no wiggle. Just a quick screw or two where the weight hits, then a light sand and a matte finish—no fuss, just clean lines. Ready to see the plan?

Show me the plan, I'll check the angles, make sure the joints sit flush, glue is a friend, and the finish will be plain matte. No fuss.

First sketch the rectangle for the tabletop and a matching base. Cut the tabletop panels to 90° angles, then the base to the same 90° so they sit flush. Use a miter joint for the corners, glued and reinforced with small screws or dowels at each corner. Keep the glue lines straight and minimal. Sand all surfaces to a fine grit, wipe dust, then apply a single coat of matte paint or clear finish for a clean look. The end result is a flat, sturdy desk with precise geometry and a simple finish.

Looks solid, just make sure the glue dries fully before you start sanding, and tighten those screws so the base stays straight. Then a quick wipe down and paint. Good plan.
