1x3 Sawhorse Desk

Hi everyone!

This was one of my favorite little plans, but I felt like it got a little lost in the plan catalog, especially since we had not put the plans with a finished photo.

So when my friend Whitney from Shanty2Chic wrote me about building a Sawhorse Style Desk for her son's room, I had just the plan for her!

Much better!

This entire room is DIY!

You can get more building plans/details on:

And of course the Sawhorse Desk follows.

Here's from Whitney:

I am so happy with this desk! It cost me under $60 to build which is 1/10 of it's cost at RH Baby.... Woohoo! It was extremely easy to build, and I loved using the project panel as a desktop. I think this desk works great for my 6 year old and will easily grow with him for many years... If I don't steal it for my own room! ;-)

There's a few tricky cuts, but I know you can master them. Just follow along with the plan, read through very carefully and make sure you understand each step before getting your saw out. And I know you will have yourself some beautiful sawhorses in no time at all!

In this plan, I just use a standard 24" x 48" project panel available at most hardware stores. But for you can also use a 1/4 sheet of 3/4" plywood, boards, Kreg Jigged together - even an old tabletop or door! Make this plan your own and build it to suit what you have on hand.
