Construct Base Posts and Supports

now the base the base of our writing desk will be made out of a 2x4 douglas fir that later on will be painted after ensuring we finished all of our final cuts we're going to take and create the front and back 4x4 post for this project simply to do so we're going to take the pieces glue them up and set them aside for one or two hours of optimum drying time while that's drying we're going to take the remainder of the cut list run those pieces through our table saw to final three inch width trimming off the factory rounded over edges doing so will ensure that the project on the base looks like it's a clean sharp slick base like we mentioned earlier now that the posts are dry we're gonna trim into our final three by three inch dimensions another specialty piece we're going to create is the support for the underneath part of the compartment which is shaped in a t so we're going to call it the t support the t support is made out of a long piece and a short piece mitered at the ends and join it together with wood glue and pocket holes now let's put it all together
