How to Make a Desk Table Top from Hardwood Flooring

In this video we’re making a large custom table top to use as a crafting desk. I have an eight foot wide loft area upstairs and I wanted to put a desk there for crafting, but finding a desk that large was difficult! I had already made a similar desk for Brady (Mrs. Billd) and we really liked it so I decided to make another to fit the loft area. Made from plywood and oak hardwood flooring, this design can be modified to make table tops of a variety of sizes and is a fairly simple build that beginner woodworkers can tackle!
