My Work Desk

****LOOK AT THE VERY LAST SET OF PICTURE TO SEE THE FINAL DESK BUILT****

I built this desk a couple of weeks ago as I was running out of work area in my little home office. Plus, I needed to get myself a little better organized like I am in my garage regarding my tools. If any of you are interested or better yet actually know how to build something, feel free to try your hand at it. Maybe even add your own personal design attributes to it as well. The construction took me about a week and a half to complete. The only thing I would have made differently is the space where the slide-out tray sit inside. I would've added another inch to the height, just to give me a bit more room to play with. Surprisingly, though it's not that heavy, as two people can easily carry it.

The material is 5/8" home depot pine board, .5" & .25" plywood.
The hardware is as follows:

Drawer Slides x 4: Prime Line R2710 16 inch standard drawer slides (Home Depot)
Shop Slides x 6: Liberty 941605 16 inch soft close ball bearing drawer slides (Home Depot)
Door Hinges x 4: Hickory Hardware P6992-C Concealed Frameless (Home Depot)
Handles x 12: Liberty P620000C-SN-C Satin Nickel Pull (Home Depot)
Magnetic Door Catch x 2: Laurey (From Sears Hardware)
1.75" diameter plastic grommets (Staples)
Furniture Glides: Softtouch 1.0625" Furniture Glides (Sears Hardware)
Screws: For construction - 1 lb 1.625" Philips coarse drywall screws 9Sears Hardware)
Screws x 4 packs: For slide out trays - .75" Steel Slotted Wood Screws #6093 (Sears Hardware)

I think that's it. If I forget anything I post it here.

****NOTE - the end images, about 30 or so, are of the real desk I made and generally the sequence of how I put the parts together. I originally was going to use standard drawer slides for the tool trays and only 3 instead of 6. I decided to use the shop slides instead for their full length capacity and realized I had room for another row.
