If you saw the thread where I said I had plans for making a desk, here's the goods.

The plans are not finished, but there are good enough to start looking at. They are in Macdraft format. Macdraft can be found at:

I stuffed the files with suffit 3.0 and they can be found at:

As I will be building a fence and finishing a dog house this weekend, I thought I'd stick up what I had finished so everyone could look. Feedback is welcomed. If a detail is missing, that is because it is in my head still. Please wait for me to say the plans are complete before saying that a detail is missing. Questions, comments and suggestions are welcomed.

These drawings were made on a Classic mac running system 6.0.8. Despite having a much newer, bigger system next to it, I found that the classic mac ran the software better. I'd like a bigger screen, but the Classic worked very well.

I will be posting pictures of the completed desk when I finish it. As I am building it from scrap wood, (pallets) I first have to recover the wood, work it into something useful, and then cut it up for the desk. Right now I have 4' x 1' x 2" of the top made from pallet planks turned on edge and glued up and all four legs, again built up from pieces of pallet. It takes a while, but the wood is free and the desk will be solid.

I downloaded MacDraft and I'll have to run it on the 7300 or something... it doesn't like my TiBook and OSX

SE/30 and system 6.0.8 Now we're talking POWER!

I've got a bunch of changes and updates to the plans. I'll be posting those soon. I've got the sides done, about 1/3 of the top. I spent this morning making drawers for floppy disks. The basic drawer is 8.5" wide and 18" long and holds over 240 disks. I'll be making cd drawers next.
