Floating Computer Desk from Leftover Hardwood flooring

What happens here

Using a metal chop saw with a specialized metal-cutting blade, carefully measure and cut square steel tubing to the required lengths to form the frame of the floating desk. The frame consists of a long horizontal section that will mount to the wall and several shorter perpendicular sections to support the desktop. Clamp the tubing securely before cutting.

Goal: Prepare the metal components for the desk frame.
