He built this desk. No big deal.
Our cost: $2.00.
Pallet wood was free. You can drive around town and find pallet wood at nearly any business. Just ask before you take it.
The hardware on the drawer was reused from a dresser we are getting rid of.
The ugly white hinge you see on the below left diptych: $1.00. There are actually two, so $2.00 total.
I thought it would be "rustic" to have big hinges but I was wrong. It looks like crap. So Luke is going to fix it soon.
The hinges are in place because the right side of the desk folds up to prop books on for more comfortable reading. (It's a study desk)
Luke was super excited to build this desk. Nothing was going to get in his way of completing it. Not eating, water breaks, boggle, nor the 100 degree weather. (He was building outside)
Below: The classic "5 more minutes until I'm done," which really means two more hours until I'm done.
So there you have it. A study desk. Built from pallets. Nearly free.

You should enter that into a DIY contest or blog party. It is amazing. Where did you put the desk? I'm trying to picture that cool rug and desk somewhere.
Wow Luke - I'm impressed! I think you all have to come visit. I can find several projects for you.
Very cool desk! love it!
Are you on Pinterest? If not, you need to be so I can copy all your rad ideas.
Oh, how many times have I seen the "five more minutes." Actually, I just double whatever time estimate Zach gives me and it's about right.
Nice work Luke.
