Cheap and easy desk

Step 3 Attaching the door to the shelves with the copper bits.

I'd have bought steel or aluminum if Home Depot had had either in stock, but you can see here that these pipe hangers fit just right, and that I was able to bend one for each shelf to hold it on the side that was too far from the edge. Since this is a hollow door, you can't just put a screw in anywhere, you have to do it at the edge. I drilled out pilot holes first so that it wouldn't deform the door at all when I put the screws in.

3 seemed to be enough to hold it very steadily on each side, so I didn't bother adding more. With a solid core door I'd have probably used more.
