Buildeazy has recently posted a new project.

How to make a Kid's Desk

For this project, the complete desk can be cut out of a 4ft x 4ft (1200mm x 1200mm) sheet of plywood, which is half of a standard size sheet.

This kid's desk uses a tongue, slot and wedge system to hold most of it together.

The desk frame is made up of interlocking 3/4"(18mm) thick plywood panels: spacer panels and side panels.

The spacer panels have tongues that go into slots in the side panels. The spacer and side panels are then locked together by wedges that are inserted into 'wedge slots' in the tongues of the spacer panels.

The desktop and seat are held in place with angle brackets that are screwed to the undersides of the desktop and seat, and the side panels.
Once made, the desk can easily be dismantled.
