Corner Computer Desk Made with Pipe and Plywood

Step 4Legs and Fittings

Legs and Fittings
I cut all my pipe to length with a basic pipe cutter, nothing fancy. I highly recommend holding the pipe in a vice (though not too tight or you'll dent your pipe).

After the pipe was cut I assembled the legs and bracing (see picture)
  • Fittings tighten down on the pipe with a set screw.
  • You can set the brace at any height, I put mine lower to the ground.

I then turned the bracing over and placed the flanges on the bottom of the plywood desktop And marked where the flanges would go. I then removed the bracing and screwed the flanges into the bottom of the plywood desktop.

After the flanges are screwed in I placed the bracing back into the flanges and tightened down the set screw.

In the bottoms of the pipe I inserted plastic pipe caps. These keep the pipe from scratching up the floor.. very important!
