FROM OLD DESK // to awesome end tables

---

As promised: here's a tutorial on how to cut a desk in half to make two end tables with drawers. ​

What you 100% need:

• old desk
• hand saw of sorts
• rubber mallet (it just helps but isn't required if you're strong)
• time
• sand paper or sander
• solid piece of wood for the top (got mine from home depot--they cut it)

If you want to shnazz it up:

• ​new handles
  • I used metal cording from Lowes. It's about 25 cents a foot. I probably used 3 feet max for this project. 
  • You'll also need a staple gun if you go with my way 
• wood stripper
• paint
• polyurethane for the "natural" wood
