Floating Computer Desk from Leftover Hardwood flooring
What happens here
Arrange the prepared hardwood flooring planks on a workbench covered with paper to prevent glue adhesion. Apply a generous amount of wood glue, such as Titebond III, along the edges of each plank. Carefully align and press the planks together, then secure them with pipe clamps. Apply sufficient clamping pressure to create tight joints and ensure the surface is flat. Remove any excess glue squeeze-out with a damp cloth or scraper.
Goal: Create a solid wooden panel for the desktop.
