Ubild: An easy answer for a home office

With more and people working at home, it’s become common to re-purpose a den or extra bedroom as a home office. Now there’s an easy, do-it-yourself way to enjoy the convenience of dedicated office space at home without giving up the guestroom or den.
This computer secretary project occupies just eight square feet of floor space and holds a computer tower, monitor and printer behind closed doors. A big, pull-down desktop has plenty of space for paperwork, along with a keyboard and mouse.
Made primarily from veneer plywood (pine as pictured, but any species will work), the project features all straight cuts, with a full-size pattern for the angle on the legs. Construction is simple. First, cut the pieces to size and sand. Next, assemble everything using glue and nails. Finally, apply finish of choice.
The Computer Secretary plan, No. 939, is $10.95 and includes detailed instructions.
A package of plans, No. C77, is $24.95 and includes plans for two roll-top desks, a traditional secretary and a Franklin desk. Include $4 per order for postage and handling and allow two weeks for delivery.
