Anyone ever built thier own furniture?

[omgitswes]

I think for a summer project I'm going to attempt in building a desk. Has anyone else on here built furniture?
pics if you have.
can you rent tools from home depot. cause power saws are expensive and i'll only use it for this

Just a couple shelves and a bookshelf.

 

[omgitswes]

did you just go at it from scratch or did you have to buy a blueprint?
i picture a bookshelf being more straight forward than a desk though

Nope never had tools around me while i was growing up

i've built most of the things in my apartment. not from scratch though it came with instructions and parts

^^thats what I might end up doing. but I want to start from scratch the power tools are damn expensive though

I want to take woodshop for this reason. Way things are going it may come in handy.

Yeah a desk shouldnt be hard to made just depends on the style . A circular saw , drill , pocket hole jig . and some trim pieces you should be able to make one

Nope, I don't trust myself with stuff like this...not too hands on.
