I'm going to show you how to attach desk legs with dowels in this video. I needed to finish the Baltic Birch Desk that I built by making the legs for the desktop. I basically forced my son Jonas to help me with the project. He is like most kids and would rather be doing anything else. The good thing is he doesn't put up a fight and just does whatever his parents tell him to do. He really is a great kid and never questions us. He doesn't have to be told to do things twice. Great right?!?!?
Well I hope I haven't damaged him by impressing upon him my dreams and desires. Am I like one of those parents that wish his kid would someday play in the NFL or NBA? Maybe I'm like one of those stage moms who thinks their kid is going to be the next Meryl Streep? Either way, I thought it would be fun to get him out in the garage and build these table legs.
This project was a lot of fun and had its challenges along the way. Using dowels to connect the skirt to the desktop was like solving a riddle. But I came up with a great idea that worked very well. I think you might find my method to be very helpful!
