In this video I show how I build a monster sized desk for my wife and I. Both of us work from home, so we really needed a desk comfortable for two to work at. I have included lots of detail in this video and I hope you find it informative. I have a companion video of how I made the cabinet door and drawer pulls. Take a look if you are in need.

@10:36, true Betty Botter bought some butter, But she said the butter’s bitter, “If I put it in my batter It will make my batter bitter, But a bit of better butter Will make my batter better.” Will Betty Boughter's bitter batter taste better? No because the better butter Betty Bitter bought was peanut butter! But the *MIGHTY* tongue twister that no one to date (that I've asked) have been able to do. Say "Toy Boat or Troy Boat" five times really fast. CAN'T BE DONE!!! And goodness gracious your attention to detail is SECOND TO NONE! Looks beautiful!
