Office desk out of pine.
 
Made this desk out of pine with the top out of chipboard and lined with orange vinyl back in 1976 with just a power saw, electric drill with sanding disc attachment.  
Stained and varnished.

Always fun to look back at the early projects. Do you still have the desk?
Orange vinyl? Man you were rocking it in the 70's!
Actually looks quite functional
Looks functionable, good as well.

Nice desk - all these tools aren't really necessary are they? 🤣😂🤣
Great desk and foot rest. Ducky. Is you vinyl long playing. 

That’s when there was no Sketch Up and look what great work you did.

The desk is a testament to your skills, even as a child. Aren’t you worried about posting a photo of yourself as a young man?Some here may not like it. Lol
so you can do more than just puzzles !

Thanks all...

No BB1,  must have been sold when the house went on the market.

Tools aren't necessary, however, I have learnt, especially with my Fe$tools, they make life a helluva lot easier.

Probably the guy my ex left me for... or was that the glamour puss, who she left behind.

While I'm on my "one liners", get ready for inundation of early projects before the Internet was invented.
