Hi,

I'm a beginner woodworker, having gotten interested so that I can build
frames and stretcher strips (unusual ones) for my oil painting. I'm
wondering if there might be a good place to look for plans for a computer
desk or table that might be suitable for very few tools.

All I really want is a very sturdy table, nothing fancy. I'd like to build
it because I'm shorter than average and thus most any table I can buy is
always too tall.

I'm low on space, but wouldn't mind buying any particular tool if I need to
and can fit it. I guess I'm wondering if its possible to build a table w/o
having to do mortise/tenon; maybe some kind of a bolted type setup.

My setup consists of a workbench, a drill, a saw, a miter box, some wood
chisels, a right-angle, and some other odds/ends.

Thanks for any help,

Ben

Here is my tip,To get a Heavy duty Computer desk setup with 18sq ft of
Top,6x3 ,And also alot of Storage space underneath etc Simply take a
Solid core door and lay it on two bathroom vanities and you have Instant
Workbench,Table,Computer desk,Layout desk,Drafting table,Humongous Easel
if ya hinge top etc! Door costs 40$ Vanitries bout 30$ each OR rescue
some from Scrap I see em on every curbside at least once a week waitin
for the Garbage truck.Ive used mine for Yrs with no problems,I tacked
a heavy Cover to it so stuff i put on it dont get scratched etc..
