$50 Drafting Table

Step 2The Cuts

I don't have tons of space in my room at the moment, so I went with a smaller table than blksheep's. I have a 28"x36" drawing area (with a 4" overhang) and a 25"x49" table- this gives me two 6.5" (originally wanted 7") shelves on both sides.

So if you have your slab at Home Depot, regardless of whether or not you have a circular saw you should get it cut there. Get a pieces that's 25" wide for the table and 28" wide for the drawing surface. The third cut will be to make the 28" wide piece 36" long.

So to reiterate, you should end up with...

A 25"x49" piece for the table. This can be done with a single cut.

A 28"x36" piece for the drawing surface.

Two pieces of scrap (one large and one that would make a good-size shelf)
