It is a fairly simple procedure to build your own writing desk, depending of course on how intricately designed you make it. There are a couple of options if you would like to build your own desk. The first option is to buy the materials and make it yourself from scratch, which includes preparing the wood, cutting the pieces to size and following a plan or blueprint to put it together. The second option is to purchase already prepared pieces that merely need assembling.
Some people love the challenge of building their own furniture. It is not necessarily the easiest, cheapest, or fastest route to take but a lot of handymen find satisfaction in taking a piece of furniture from the beginning stages to the final assembly. One of the key reasons people will opt to build their own desk, if they have the necessary skills, is that they are able to custom design it to their own custom specifications. You can choose the exact size you want it to be, how many drawers it should have and where they should be placed. You also get to choose the wood and decide on the finish.

Thankfully there are many free writing desk plans available online, that come complete with varying degrees of instructions as to how to make them. So, if you are not sure exactly how to start or if you have questions about how to make your own desk you would probably be better off downloading one of the free plans and working from that.
Once you have decided on a design and downloaded your plans you will need to decide where you are going to work on this project. Remember, it is highly unlikely that you will finish the project in one sitting, especially as you will need to let the writing desk sit between finishing coats. As you do not want to have to pack everything up at the end of each session you will probably want to opt for a semi secluded location such as a garden shed or a garage to work in.
Also, before starting the project, go ahead and collect all of the tools you will need to finish it in one spot. Buy all of the needed supplies and gather together anything that you already have at home that is needed. Assembling all items needed to totally complete a project before you start is a great way of making sure you actually have everything you need.
Finally, have fun with your project. The finished product may not be perfect but it will be a creation of your own hands, enjoy it!
