I have been digging post holes for 2 weeks, couple at a time and then setting the post.  Thankfully I am done with that portion of the project.  This 19 holes is for the birds..... :JawDrop:

Ha! That brings back memories of days long past. I dug about 20 post holes for a corral, including railroad ties at the corners. Then, I did probably 30 for a fence until I finally decided to hire it out. Dug by hand with a shovel. Its a lot of work!! :wacko:

You bet!

I had to go back to the first posts to get the size of this desk.  These sides looked so large I wondered if you had switched to another chester or something:D

I am wrestling with a few pieces of store bought window trim and Steven, by hand, builds a complete computer desk...

Ok, for those that want an idea about sizes...

finished sides are 3/4"  x 18-5/8" wide  x 31" tall

 

Rails are 16", counting the 1/2" long tenon on each end....rails are 3/4 " x 1-1/2' x 16"

 

raised panels are 15-5/16" wide...by ~ 5" top to bottom.

 

Grooves are 1/4" x 1/4".   Mortises then go another 1/4" deeper.  tenons are 1" by 1/4" by 1/2" long.

 

May do a top and bottom webframe....or...just make 5 frames.   Need a rebate along the back edges of two sides, to house a 1/4" plywood back.   There will be a stretcher/foot rest across the back of the kneehole...

 

Thinking drawer fronts (4 larger ones) need to be around 3/4 x 5" x 13" or  so...depends on the width of the 1 x 6s I have. 

back is still acting up....taking a day off, if nobody minds..

Stay tuned..
