This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in
Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.
We're moving along in our carpentry skills, let's try a bigger project. Does that old desk from the thrift shop wobble a bit too much? Let's build a big fancy executive desk!
Here's a gentleman showing us one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a fancy executive desk
- Solid wood is preferred but plywood is allowed for panels and drawers on this BB
- At least six drawers
- At least one file folder drawer
- User's legs are hidden from view for people approaching the desk
- Homemade natural finish
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
