Could you elaborate? Materials, sources, designs, etc? I'm interested in making a desk on the cheap.
Trick is to bypass 'making' stage, I just bought it second hand. I DIYD only things which are impossible to find (ultralight telescope, hexa-copters), tables are on every corner.
I have learned that this is the best way. And getting the furniture cheap makes me less afraid to modify it to my needs. If I destroy $10 table in the process I just get another one.
