Hybrid Desk: an Inexpensive, Easy to Make DIY Desk that offers Skill Development for those who want.

I was in desperate need of a home office desk. Unwilling to throw away money on disposable options from retailers I decided to spend the same amount on quality materials that would last and build my own. Specifically I used a tool box and a slab plus miscellaneous DIY items.

This is a basic build. Something anyone could accomplish with limited tools and skills. Yet there are opportunities to develop or work some woodworking skills. We cover both skilled and unskilled options in this video.

This is a long video. If you just want to build a simple table you can skip much of the woodworking joinery then jump back in on finishing techniques.
