Making a desk featuring old wooden crates

Step 2: Making the cuts

I made the following pieces.

2 1x12 boards at 6' 6" - these become the back "legs" of the desk and the sides of the book case.
5 1x12 boards at 29" - these served as the front "legs" and the inside of the drawer supports under the desk top.
3 1x12 boards at 5' for the back piece of the desktop and the lower two shelves.
2 1x12 boards at 61 and one half inches for the front portion of the desktop and the top shelf.
A number of shorter boards depending on the width of your crates and the drawer/shelf pattern you choose.

6 2x2s at 11 and a quarter inch (or whatever your 1x board width comes to.)
2 (minimum) at 23 inches (or whatever the depth of your desktop is)
